Playing Catch-up

As I may have mentioned before I've been making a lot of cards since November. I was starting to think I might never get back to my favourite pass-time of scrapbooking. So the past two or three weeks I've been trying to fill in some of the gaps in my own scrapbook. Yesterday I finished a really girly layout - Kristie's Graduation. Really pleased with how it turned out. I used half of a die cut from Deja Views, paper from Creative Memories and lots of bling from Dollarama. Now I need a black and white pic of her in her prom dress to complete it.

Back in the Zone

For months all I've done is make cards ... and to think I didn't really enjoy it! Lately I've felt that I needed to catch up and do some layouts in my "Book of Me". We've been having weekly scrapbooking club get togethers and so I've gotten back to where I started - good old 2-page layouts. Love it! Here are a few new layouts I've done.

Oh the Snow ...

We sure have received a lot of snow in the last 24 hrs. Snow storm + Snow day. Apparently there's another system in store for us later this evening - one with lots of wind which will likely mean another snow day tomorrow. I won't say no to that. I've taken advantage of my day home to re-organize / re-arrange / clean my scrapbooking room. I've also done a bit of finishing up work on some cards I've made over the past few weeks. I usually make a bunch of cards but stamp or print sentiments inside sometime later. This is the least enjoyable part of card making for me so .... yes, I procrastinate a little. Here are a few pics of what I've accomplished today.

Happy Valentine's Day

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day and so you'd think I would be making Valentines ....... nope. I have made a few cards in recent days - mosting birthday, sympathy and baby. Probably because I have a few friends with birthdays coming up, there have been several deaths in our area recently and I'm going to be a grandmother again in a few months.
Here are a few of the cards I have been inspired to make, including one for my Valentine ... hope you like them ... and have a Happy Valentine's Day!!
