Happy New Year

Well it's been more than 3 months since my last post and there's a very good reason for that.  In addition to being very busy with work, homelife and cardmaking/scrapbooking, I've been stumped with the changes to this website.  You'll notice the pics I wanted to upload in my September post did not upload, but not for my lack of trying ... eventually I just gave up.  I hate change - if something's not broke why fix it ??  I will endeavour to overcome this problem in the next few days, however if I cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong, then I may have to abandon this blog and try to find something more user friendly.  Hopefully not !

So Busy!

My lack of posting doesn't mean I haven't been doing any scrapbooking.  In fact I've been too busy to take and upload pics of my latest creations.  But I will do that in coming days.  After a terrific summer I finally got back into scrapping mode with a little inspiration from my friends at www.scrapbook.com. 

Here are a couple cards I've done, though the lattice cards (I did 6 in various colour schemes) are not quite complete - I can't decide if they're birthday, sympathy or my husband's suggestion - mother's day cards.

It's been such a long time ....

Yes it's only been two months since my last post but it's been longer since I've actually done any scrapbooking or card making of any significance.
Why?.... I don't know.  When I'd go into my scrapbooking room I feared  that I'd never again use any of the stuff (and there's a lot of stuff) that I'd accumulated since starting this craft in 2006.
But this past week I did do one layout for my own scrapbook and have another in the "works" .... I hope it was just a break I needed and that I haven't lost my zeal for scrapping!
I will keep you posted, LOL

On the Cheap!

Who says you can't get pretty, stylish, quality scrapbooking papers at a reasonable price?! I lucked into some great paper at the Buck or Two store over the weekend. They are by Forever in time which is imported by Multicraft Imports (Ottawa, ON) from Taiwan. Here are some pics of the ones I snagged ... and I'm very pleased with my haul - needless to say! I'm going to show fronts and backs of these pages side by side ... but my abilities with this are limited, so we'll see. What you can't see from these photos is that the front side of these papers have glitter added - they are gorgeous! I can't wait to use them.

Gettin' it done ...

I've had a bunch of orders for cards lately ... all kinds of cards too ... gonna try some accordion cards later tonight (I hope). Here are a few of the orders I did fill ... pretty pleased with them as were my customers.

It's about time ....

It's about time I made a new post ... if my job were blogging I'd be fired. But I have been busy. Busy at work - and will be til April. And I've been busy in my scrapbook room. Did a few layouts for the neice's scrapbook - all up to date now. And I made a few Christmas Cards. I'm always in the mood for Christmas Cards after Christmas ...

It's been a long time ...

It's been a long time since I last posted. Where does time go?
I have been busy making Christmas Cards and gift tags.
I think I've tired of card making however and am itching to get back to my true love - Scrapbooking.
Hopefully in the coming days I'll have pics of some new layouts to post.
Hope you are all well and looking forward to the holidays.
