<br />
Boy oh boy has it been a while! So much has changed in the last couple (or more...*gasp*!!!) years since I last posted. Thats a story for another time. Amongst all the crazy that is my life I regret that my papercrafting has taken a back burner place in my daily routine but I managed to conjure up a little bit of my passion to make a birthday card for a dear mentor/professor/friend. It felt sooo good to get back into it (despite having to dig through boxes and bins and messy desktops of scattered craft supplies...seriously....I don't even have scissors handy!?!)...and I'm happy my creative juices haven't completely dried up! This one is for the challenge this week over at <a href="http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge/simon-says-add-texture/">Simon Says Stamp: Add Texture</a>. The nurse stamp is from The Greeting Farm (always one of my fave stamping companies) which I recently got from SSS called "<a href="https://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product/The-Greeting-Farm-GET-WELL-SOON-Clear-Stamps-TGF290-JTGF290?currency=USD">Get Well Soon</a>". Love it!<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by....hopefully it won't be this long until we meet again!<br />

It is with a saddened heart that I (we) must say good bye to <a href="http://www.123getscrappy.blogspot.ca/2015/07/july-2015-challenge-24.html">123Get Scrappy</a>. Life just gets in the way sometimes and we must move forward. It's been 2 years!! I've had the opportunity to work with some very talented ladies whose layouts have definately inspired me. I know you all feel the same. Here's hoping to see you all again in the blog world!<br />
<br />
SOOOOOOOO with that in mind, I hope to see many many entries for this last July Challenge #24. We are looking forward to a great send off! And I know I'll miss seeing all your creations!<br />
<br />
Here's my take for Challenge #24:<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

I used the last column: Lots of yellow-a beach element-ribbon<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I dug these photos up from my stash. Reminiscing about my eldest daughter (who is now 11!). Blows my mind how little she is in these pics. So cute! I remember her first beach day like it was yesterday. There was sand stuck everywhere: sticky nose, face, legs. One our first experiences with swim diapers and realizing how useless they are when water is flowing in and out of them (like on the shoreline with waves) YUCK! But the smiles and the giggles and the freedom to run around without a care...that's priceless! Longing for those days sometimes. (but definitely happy to be in the 'now').<br />

Here's to fun, Sun and family!<br />

<br />
I'm soooo stoked to share with you a card I made for my daughter's friend's birthday. I was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest. You can find it <a href="http://rosemaryscreations.blogspot.ca/2012/11/the-greeting-farm-guest-designer-monday.html">here</a>. It's pretty awesome and I just HAD to scraplift it!

<br />
The tutorial to make this card can be found <a href="https://littlegreenbox.wordpress.com/2012/11/07/pop-up-diorama-tutorial/">here</a>.<br />
<br />
This accordion style 3D diorama card folds flat enough to put into an envelope (although I do recommend that you make the card at least 1-1.5cm smaller on all sizes than the envelope you want to put it in).<br />
<br />
It always makes me smile to see something like this come together from a plain starting point. Ain't creativity fun!?<br />

This layout makes me giggle. Especially the title. My hubby's parents are absolute experts at gardening and all things planty! Their thumbs are greener than green and have been known to bring a seemingly dead plant back from plant purgatory! There are over 150 tomato plants and even more other delicious vegetables and plants in their city backyard which yields enough food and beautiful flowers to service a small country, I'm sure! As for hubby and I, we're not quite so skilled....not even close. So when hubby's parents decided to plant a small vegetable garden in our backyard in an attempt to get the grandkids on the gardening wagon we rolled our eyes and gave the garden a couple weeks before it became a lesson in disappointment. To our pleasant surprise, the garden flourished! By late July we had delicious cucumbers and grape tomatoes and fresh herbs filling our dinner plates until September! I never thought we'd be able to keep a garden going...but now...I'm a believer!<br />

<br />
Just popping in to wish the folks over at <a href="http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge/simon-says-happy-birthday-3/">Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge</a> a BIG Happy Birthday!!! I must admit, their blog was the first challenge blog I ever participated in and dare I say, they were the ones who first encouraged me to start this little blog of mine. It's been 3 years (*GASP!!*) and although I don't get to blog and share as much as I'd like I'm so very happy for the inspiration to have done so and to keep it up as often as I can. This week's challenge theme is (of course) BIRTHDAY, so I'd like to share with you a little birthday card I made. I used a clean and layered approach to this card.<br />

These photos were taken this past summer. My hubby is not much of a camper and the spontaneous hail that arrived during this particular camping trip didn't help sway him on the virtues of camping. Our tent flooded, and most of our towels and sleeping bags were also soaked. Luckily our camping trip was not of the roughing it variety and we were able to set up camp in a cozy bedroom of the house in whose yard we were originally set to spend the night. Still a good time spent with family and friends.<br />

<br />
I seem to say this EVERY time but WHOA!!!! Where has the time gone! I swear a month ago I was stoked and ready to blog about all the amazing Christmas cards I had planned to make. Now (most of) the Christmas cards were made and sent out but not a single one was photographed or blogged! And then before I knew it it's January 2015!!! My youngest will be 4 in a couple of weeks! Seriously tooo fast!<br />
Anyways...here's hoping I can stay on track with blogging, fitness, declutterment, healthy eating.....(blah blah blah). It's been 10 days and I'm ( at least) keeping up with the daily exercise routine. Heck I've even been sleeping earlier at night (although I find this more of a detriment than anything). <br />
<br />There is a new bingo board goodness over at <a href="http://www.123getscrappy.blogspot.ca/2015/01/january-2015-challenge-18.html">123 Get Scrappy</a>. It's a fun one (as always) and perfect inspiration for those wintery pics I know you've been dying to scrap! <br />

LAst year just before Christmas there was a huge Ice Storm in my neck of the woods. It was beautiful to look at with everything covered in crystal diamond. Also quite destructive as many many trees couldn't handle the weight of the ice for alot of trees were split down the trunk on had branches fallen off. For the first time (contrary to popular belief) we could actual ice skate on the road with all the ice covering everything. Very cool! No need for a backyard ice rink when all around us was a skating rink. (Not so fun on the driving front though).<br />

<br />
Just sharing a little something I made for my daughter's BFF. It was her birthday and so I made a little card to celebrate the occasion. C2 and her friend both LOVE penguins and since I just happened to have these stamps out for the Christmas Card making season I decided to put them on her card. It's a shame that most (if not ALL) of the penguin stamps I have are Christmas themed but I managed to make these little cuties look more like they're wearing birthday hats instead of Santa hats (I hope).<br />

I'm SOOOOO sorry! I scheduled this post to go online Nov 10/14 and I'm just checking in now and realized that it didn't get posted. Not sure how that happened...(or what I did wrong) but here is my (hopeful) inspiration for this month's <a href="http://www.123getscrappy.blogspot.ca/">123 Get Scrappy</a> Bingo Board challenge!<br />

<br />
Autumn is in full swing here in my neck of the woods. Loving all the beautiful colours....not loving the feeling that snow is creeping its way into town (a little to soon for my taste!). <br />
<br />
Here is a card I made for my husband's father's birthday this month! Always love to add photos to the cards for the family. Love looking back and seeing how much my girlies have grown (and I know the grandparents love to as well!).<br />
<br />

<br />
Another bingo board is up and running over at <a href="http://123getscrappy.blogspot.ca/2014/10/october-2014-challenge-15.html">123 Get Scrappy</a>!<br />
<br />
See if you can guess the theme of this month's board! (It took a while before I realized it!).<br />
<br />
While I was going through my crazy overload of pictures to scrapbook I came across these photos from a few years back and knew I had to preserve this memory. How adorable and so very wonderful Nonno and Nonna are! I am truly blessed to be a part of their family! They would do anything for my daughters (and Nonno isn't exactly your 'softy type'). It's a big deal that he let them do this makeover for him...and I know he'd let them do it over and over again! <br />
<br />
Here is my take:<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjioasOopbQ5ugaBl9xTbYJVBW2ksGXEHoWVT4CPahHIhV7IRITw9izJ17pK_XrKqCzDlYD4ncvPt762HhSBdYEPqzplkRpQgX3wvcfPIbdhQu14sRIqSI_7IKNbvwj7AQfIgZkGHcLGAh2/s1600/123GS-201410A.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjioasOopbQ5ugaBl9xTbYJVBW2ksGXEHoWVT4CPahHIhV7IRITw9izJ17pK_XrKqCzDlYD4ncvPt762HhSBdYEPqzplkRpQgX3wvcfPIbdhQu14sRIqSI_7IKNbvwj7AQfIgZkGHcLGAh2/s1600/123GS-201410A.jpg" height="610" width="640" /></a></td></tr>

Boy will I ever be happy when my scrappy room is finally up an running. Shelves are on the walls and desks and other furnitures are all in their proper place but I've got a TONNE of supplies that need to be weeded through and organized. It doesn't help that I went to a scrapbook store Garage Sale on the weekend and got a bunch more stuff to add to the stash! But no regrets! Some wicked awesome deals to be had! Anyways, my point is that I despite the condition of my creative space at the moment I still managed to scrounge together some of my available materials and put together a birthday card for my BIL. I used a <a href="http://cardabilities.blogspot.ca/2014/09/sketch-reveal-107-design-team-reveal.html">Sketch #107 from Sketchabilities</a> as my spring board to jump from. The rest was scraps found in my scrap drawer. Happy to be witting this bin down (little by little!)<br />

Unfortunately crafting has been a scarce activity these last couple of weeks. We had windows replaced throughout the house and a lot of the rooms had to be turned upside down and/or emptied to make room for the window installers and their equipment. Of course this led to some redecorating endeavours which have yet to be completed. One of those such rooms is my craft room. All my stuff is packed away in boxes or under piles of other stuff making it hard to get any fun stuff done! Working on limited supplies this week...but iz all good...all the more creative spark required! Need that every now and then! :D</div>

<br />
My little C2 has been waiting for a kids challenge! She was quite excited when <a href="http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge/simon-says-childrens-summer-vacation-challenge/">Simon Says Stamp's Kids Vacation Challenge</a> came along. It took a while for her to decide what she wanted to make her scrapbook layout on. Once she figured that out she was unstoppable. The 'make-a-layout-with-mommy' routine commenced. She flipped through a binder I have full of sketches (mostly <a href="http://www.pagemaps.com/">Page Maps</a>) and she picked the one she wanted to do. Then she went to my scrap paper drawers and picked out her patterned papers. Once the bulk of that was done she added her embellies and boy was I quite impressed with what she wanted to have. I'm pretty proud of her little creation and so is she! (As my dad always says: "The coconut doesn't fall far from the coconut tree!")<br />
<br />
Here's her creation.<br />

<br />
This post is bittersweet. I'm happy to announce that <a href="http://twistedtuesdaychallenges.blogspot.ca/2014/08/2tc83-chevrons-and-ribbonsand-little.html">Twisted Tuesday Challenges</a> has another fun challenge up and running. But I'm very sad that it will be the last challenge for out little challenge blog (*WAHHHHHH!!!!!*).<br />
I have been so very blessed to have been able to participate as a DT member. <a href="http://me-craftyscrapper.blogspot.ca/">Melina</a> reached to out a passionate paper crafter with no DT experience and gave me a chance and I am forever grateful. I LOVED the opportunity to (hopefully) inspire you out there and get those creative juices flowing. <br />
<br />
As the great Albert Einstein put it:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Creativity is contagious...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">PASS IT ON!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I hope we have been able to help pass on the creativity. I know I've enjoyed seeing your creations. Never stop creating!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

The funny thing about this card is that I literally made it out of scrap bits I found literally lying around my craft room which was all taken apart because we had windows replaced and everything in the house was turned upside down! definitely some creativity was required to take what minimal stuff I had at my disposal and turn it into something worthy of the LAST <a href="http://twistedtuesdaychallenges.blogspot.ca/2014/08/2tc83-chevrons-and-ribbonsand-little.html">Twisted Tuesday Challenge</a> (*sniff*)</div>

<br />
I've been meaning to scrap these pictures for a while! I refrained from deleting them from my phone as a reminder that I need to put this moment in a layout! I love that my daughters love playing sports as much I do. Although soccer ended up not being C1s favourite I always loved watching her play. This was definitely one of my favourite games to have watched: "Delay of game due to pig on the field!".<br />
<br />
I kept this layout pretty simple with the straight lines and patterned paper blocks. (My engineering hubby would be very proud!). It's a little hard to see but I added some glittery goodness to her hair band and jersey using a Wink of Stella glitter pen. I also love the metallic sparkle of the gold paper I used to emboss the stars. Co cool!<br />
<br />
Here is the bingo board! I used the diagonal: STARS-GRASS-STRIPES<br />

<br />
Such a fun summer in my neck of the woods! On the paper crafting goodness front, <a href="http://twistedtuesdaychallenges.blogspot.ca/">Twisted Tuesday Challenges </a>has a new challenge up and running.<br />
<br />
The Challenge: Include some sort of "school supply item(s)" in your creation.<br />
The Twist: Leave a lot of white space on your creation<br />
<br />
Here's my take:<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

One of the things I LOVE about taking this time to stay at home and be there for my family is the opportunity I get to volunteer at my daughters' school. I have the chance to read with them, see them with their friends, meet many of their school friends and teachers and contribute to their school environment. <br />
<br />
I used a colour scheme (and <a href="http://color-me-scrappy.blogspot.ca/2014/08/cms-challenge-67.html">challenge #67</a>) from the folks over at Color Me Scrappy<br />

<br />
I also used a sketch over at the <a href="http://pagemaps.blogspot.ca/2014/07/vacation-sketch-contest-with-fancy-pants.html?showComment=1407295865695">Page Maps</a> blog.<br />

<br />
On the family front, I finally got a camping trip in this summer despite my hubby's propensity AGAINST camping. Admittedly it was more of a "glamping" type of excursion as we weren't really roughing it...merely sleeping in a tent accompanied with the rest of the comforts of home: indoor plumbing, full kitchen facilities, a pool and a nearby lake to go canoeing in. That's what you get when you camp with some friends on their parents' farm. Good times!!! (Even though we experienced a freak hail storm in the afternoon on the first day! It was unlike anything I've ever experienced!) Our tent didn't hold up so well after being pelted by the torrential rain and the subsequent hail. Water leaked in and we were forced to sleep in the house the first night (hard life, I know!) :)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo-Dj2WBoyHw3BU8hI63DiFQYCk5pXsZ2L_gEE5fDB-gj6gFbQpvPn6OjPK6SquZKkvGPdip5lAM4K_TuZX8DMR29966zsZWcNFVQ6feew4cTL5tf9bjK8D2DCS9ZktOoRp663aLlfJOaF/s1600/picstitch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo-Dj2WBoyHw3BU8hI63DiFQYCk5pXsZ2L_gEE5fDB-gj6gFbQpvPn6OjPK6SquZKkvGPdip5lAM4K_TuZX8DMR29966zsZWcNFVQ6feew4cTL5tf9bjK8D2DCS9ZktOoRp663aLlfJOaF/s1600/picstitch.jpg" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyways, the second night was much nicer and cool but definitely comfortable tent-sleeping weather. the family had a great time! Here's to more of the same!</div>

<br />
I'm a wee bit late posting this entry but <a href="http://twistedtuesdaychallenges.blogspot.ca/2014/07/2tc81-christmas-forest-in-july.html">Twisted Tuesday challenges</a> has a brand new challenge up and running! It's a great jump start to get those Christmas projects done and ready (after all, Christmas is only 155 days away!) (tee hee!)<br />
<br />
Here are the details:<br />
The challenge: Create a Christmas Themed creation<br />
The twist: use and evergreen bow or tree(s) in your creation.<br />
<br />
Here's my take!<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<br />
I used pencil crayons to colour the ornaments in the embossed parts. Haven't used pencil crayons in a while. My daughter had them out to colour something she was working on and I thought, "why not!".<br />
<br />
Be sure to check out the other creations from the Twisted Tuesday Design team! You're sure to be inspired! <br />
<br />
I can't wait to see what you create!<br />

<br />
Us over at <a href="http://123getscrappy.blogspot.ca/">123 Get Scrappy</a> have a new challenge up and running for ya and it's a bit different than you have been used to. It's a colour challenge! I stumble a bit with colour challenges but I think for that reason I also LOVE to do them because it challenges my creative muscles and I'm usually rather pleased with the results! I hope you all feel the same and will play along this month!<br />
<br />

There is quite the 'looking-back-on-it-now-it's-pretty-funny' story behind these photos and this incident in Vegas shared by my BFF and my sister. I gave a teaser part of the story in the journalling circles but the rest of the story I continued on the back of the layout. I debated in telling the whole story (going on the "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" premise), but I knew for my memories' sake, I wanted the story documented. ;)<br />
<br />

<br />
New challenge up and running over at <a href="http://twistedtuesdaychallenges.blogspot.ca/">Twisted Tuesday Challenges</a>! It's only been 1 week having all 3 kid lets home all day and it's been quite the adjustment but nothing too crazy. They've actually been more amiable to doing chores around the house and have been very helpful in that respect. #3 however, is another story (she always is!). Still running around all crazy and loud! Give me strength!<br />
<br />
Anyhow, here's the deal the fortnight over at Twisted Tuesday!<br />
Challenge: Use pearls on your creation<br />
Twist: Use a lot of layers on your creation!<br />
<br />
Here's my take:<br />

I originally wanted to use the dress form for just the dress for this fashion show layout but I thought it just wasn't 'cute' enough since the pictures (at least to me) were off the charts adorable. So I decided to add a cute little face (and arms) to the bodice to turn it into what I had pictured in my head. I realize lately that in my last few creation I've been crazy on the patterned paper. I keep digging up some really pretty stuff in my craft room and at just the right time for just the right project. These high heeled shoes were perfect for this layout! I digitally fixed the photos a bit to showcase my little C3 and tone down the messy background (definitely not what I want noticed!).<br />

Be sure to drop by the <a href="http://twistedtuesdaychallenges.blogspot.ca/2014/07/2tc80-pearls-are-sooooooo-heavy.html">Twisted Tuesday Challenges</a> challenge blog and check out the creations from the whole design team. I hope you play along as well! Can't wait to see what you create!<br />

<br />
First of all: HAPPY CANADA DAY!!! Darn proud to be Canadian!!!<br />

I must admit, now that I'm home with the kidlets 24/7 summer is both a blessing and curse for me. Having all 3 kids home at the same time all day does make for some greater challenges than having only a 3 year old for most of the day! Tack on hot, humid icky days and it's a recipe for grumpiness! Well, it's been 2 days and only 3 major meltdowns and 2 major fights to break up. Not to mention a hubby (whom I've know since I was 14) who actually lost his cool (which I can honestly say I have NEVER seen him do in all the time I've known him) on a drive to the grandparents. The kids were all talking over eachother and arguing and whining (oh the whining!!!) and he kinda just lost it and yelled (the loudest I have EVER heard him yell!!) "THAT'S ENOUGH!!!"<br />
The car passengers (myself included) immediately came to a silence and the rest of the 20 min car ride remained as such. Hubby was quite pleased with the peace and quiet. Oh boy! Here's hoping all the craziness got out in these last couple days and the rest of the summer will be filled with fun and laughter! (Finger's crossed).<br />
<br />
ANYWAYS, it was the last week of school for both my daughters and I made their teachers a special card (with a gift card inside). Here is the card I made for C2's second grade teacher:<br />

C2 is really into penguins and her teacher is well aware of her taste in the Antarctic creature. I added this little guy to remind her teacher about her. I paper pieced his little hat in hopes to make it look less wintery and I also paper pieced the heart. <br />

I hope she liked it!<br />

<br />
A little late with this post. Total cray-cray here with last week of school and family from Italy here for a visit! We've been taking them on the whirlwind adventure of tourist attractions and enjoying every minute of it...but boy is it ever tiring and time consuming! Anyways, the folks over at <a href="http://twistedtuesdaychallenges.blogspot.ca/2014/06/2tc79-red-white-and-blue-with-stars.html">Twisted Tuesday Challenges</a> have a new challenge up and running and you still have time to join in all the fun!<br />

Hey Everyone,<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Can't believe it's June already. My teacher friends have been counting down and apparently there is only 13 days left of school! Unbelievable! My oldest will be having her first "double digit" birthday next week! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Been a crazy few weeks around here. Summer has finally arrived and it's been beautiful. Sunny, warm, breezy, and not too humid. Love it!</div>
