Hello Everyone!
I hope you are all doing well and staying healthy and creative. <div><br /></div><div>It's been about two and a half years since I posted on my blog and what a journey it has been! </div><div><br /></div><div>My last post on my blog was in September, 2019 from my last vacation that my husband and I went on for our 20th wedding anniversary. We drove to beautiful Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada for a week. Little did we know that six months later there would be a global pandemic. </div><div><br /></div><div>Even though it has been a very difficult time for many of us for the past two years, it has also had some positive aspects.
For me personally, as a scrapbooker, knitter, and generally overall a crafty person, it was so wonderful to have more time to create and learn new skills and techniques and not feel guilty about it. Ha Ha! </div><div><br /></div><div>It also was time to reflect and to evaluate what was important in life and what my priorities were. In the past two years since the pandemic began, I was in the hospital twice and then my husband had major surgery and also had Covid-19. </div><div><br /></div><div>We decided that we needed to make some changes in our lives so we moved four hours away so we could be closer to my husband's job and also my three children and their spouses and families.</div><div><br /></div><div>We now live in the same neighborhood as my son and daugher in law and two young grandsons. My youngest grandson was born during the pandemic in May 2021. </div><div><br /></div><div>It is wonderful to be closer to my grandchildren and see them grow up, but at the same time it is difficult to move away from my elderly parents and those gorgeous mountains that my husband and I would see from our town and go for drives whenever we could. The mountains are my jam. </div><div><br /></div><div> I really would like to start sharing some of my projects that I have been busy with the past two and half years and connect with my followers again.
Thanks for stopping by and hope you will visit again soon.</div>Lee-Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05435126047931662354noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124134019300906858.post-19061841642579665182019-10-24T17:32:00.004-06:002019-10-24T17:39:20.945-06:00Sewing And Knitting Projects<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Hello friends! It's been four months since I have blogged and lots has been happening since my last post. Life happens doesn't it?<br />
<br />
For the past year or so, my creative journey has taken a turn from scrapbooking to sewing and knitting. I haven't done any paper crafting for about a year now. I just needed a change. Scrapbooking has been my life for about eighteen years and I'm sure I'll return to it some day, but for now I'm having so much fun learning some new skills in the knitting and sewing world.<br />
<br />
Knitting has really made a comeback since my childhood days when my grandmother taught me how to knit when I was about nine years old. It's a great way to alleviate stress and I've always liked to keep my hands busy while I watch Netflix.<br />
<br />
There are so many beautiful yarns to choose from nowadays and I wanted to explore knitting something other than those granny slippers with the pompom from years ago.<br />
<br />
I thought I would start with some cotton yarn and knit up some dishcloths in several patterns.<br />
<br />

After knitting a few dish cloths, I thought I would try a bigger project so I knit a kitty scarf that looked like my cat Sheldon. I knit this in Red Heart Soft Essentials yarn in two shades of gray. It was such a soft yarn to knit with and it feels great against the skin.<br />

<br />
This was a fun scarf to knit and I wanted to learn how to change yarn colors. My daughter wanted this one.<br />
<br />
After the kitty scarf, I knit some infinity scarves so I stocked up on lots of yarn from Michael's Loops And Thread Impeccable chunky yarn in some ombre shades. They feel soft and cozy and will be perfect for those cold winters.<br />

Now my goal is to knit a sweater for my grandson who is one year old now but I think I'll practice some cable knitting before I attempt a sweater.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've always been intimidated by cable knitting but it really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. It just takes a little patience and practice because at first a person feels like they have to be an octopus to knit the cable knit stitches.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Soon I will share some knitting projects with cable knitting.</div>

I think I have found my passion. I love sewing bags.<br />

Happy Friday! It's been six months since I blogged and so much has happened in six months.<br />
<br />
Seven years ago, I went on a creative journey and got very involved in the online scrapbooking world. I was on many design teams, submitted my layouts for publishing, blogged and uploaded all my paper crafting projects to my gallery on Scrapbook.com and was very active on social media (Facebook and Instagram). It was a lot of fun and it was one heck of a ride but lately I have needed a change and wanted to expand my creativity so I decided to explore sewing, quilting and machine embroidery. It's a new chapter.<br />
<br />
I learned to sew as a teenager in school and didn't really like it and then I took sewing up again in my 30's making lots of crafty items and then in my 40's, I began sewing on paper and on my scrapbook layouts with my Kenmore sewing machine that I bought when I was 21 years old. It has served me well but I wanted to expand my horizons and upgrade to an electronic sewing machine so<br />
in November 2018, my local quilt shop had an open house and there was the opportunity to go and try out some new sewing machines so I attended and decided to take the plunge. I chose a Brother VM5100 sewing/embroidery machine. It has a lot of bells and whistles, is super quiet, and user friendly. It will be a long while before I learn everything this workhorse can do, but it's so fun!<br />
<br />
It has taken me six months to feel comfortable with my new sewing machine and there is so much to learn. To break in the machine, I began sewing beginner sewing projects. Since I had my first grandbaby last July, I thought sewing would give me the opportunity to learn some new "grandma" skills so I started sewing bibs, rag quilts, placemats, bowl cozies, potholders, oven mitts, table runners, stuffies, jelly roll rugs, pillowcases, pillow covers, bandanas, baskets, and now bags. Most of the items I have sewn have been gifted and I love the way it makes me feel inside when I give something handmade. Here are a few things I have sewn the past six months:<br />

I think I am hooked! Fabric is just as addictive as paper and now I have a problem ha ha! A good problem. I need some organizational help!<br />
<br />
Well that's what's happening in my world lately. I know I have taken a break from paper crafting, but I will be back again. I have too much invested in the hobby to give it up. I'm sure I'll make lots of mini albums of my family, but for now, I am loving the challenge of learning a new skill.<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend. I hope you do something you love.<br />
<br />
Ciao!<br />

Happy American Thanksgiving to all my American friends that are celebrating today.<br />
<br />
I wanted to share with you another mini album. I created it with some medium size red paper bags that are found at Michael's in the party supplies section. This one is for my grandson's first Christmas.<br />
<br />
<img alt="IMG_4051" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d8345210bd69e2022ad3bfb85a200b img-responsive" src="https://scrappergirl.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8345210bd69e2022ad3bfb85a200b-500wi" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="IMG_4051" /><br />
<br />
I am in love with printing design papers at home lately. I find it works for me as I can print only what I need and resize it to be suitable for cards and mini albums. This collection is designed by <a href="https://www.nitwitcollections.com/shop/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&zenid=8b02f11b4c6c75da9e59543f68f08e09&keyword=Baby%27s+First+Christmas&x=0&y=0">Nitwit Collections </a>and is from the Baby's First Christmas Collection.<br />
<br />
I also shared this mini album on the <a href="http://etsy.com/shop/aflairforbuttons/">A Flair For Buttons</a> blog as one of my design team projects. I love flair buttons and they work perfectly for this album. The cute penguin flair button on the front cover is from the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/260517778/christmas-fun-2-flair?ref=shop_home_active_30">Christmas Fun 2 Flair Set.</a><br />
<br />
<a class="asset-img-link" href="https://scrappergirl.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8345210bd69e2022ad3bfb834200b-popup"></a><img alt="IMG_4051" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d8345210bd69e2022ad3bfb852200b img-responsive" src="https://scrappergirl.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8345210bd69e2022ad3bfb852200b-500wi" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="IMG_4051" /><br />
<br />
There are lots of pockets and tags to house photos and journaling. On one tag I added a an adorable snowman flair button from the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/260165596/vintage-snowman-2-flair?ref=shop_home_active_16&crt=1">Vintage Snowman 2 Flair Set. </a><br />

<br />
On another tag, I added the cute reindeer slippers flair button from the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/260517778/christmas-fun-2-flair?ref=shop_home_active_30">Christmas Fun 2 Flair Set.</a><br />

<br />
I love the way the paper bags work as extra pockets to tuck in more photos and journaling tags.<br />
This paper bag mini album has lots of places to add photos.<br />
<br />
<img alt="IMG_4051" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d8345210bd69e2022ad3bfb84c200b img-responsive" src="https://scrappergirl.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8345210bd69e2022ad3bfb84c200b-500wi" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="IMG_4051" /><img alt="IMG_4060" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d8345210bd69e2022ad3bfb9b0200b img-responsive" src="https://scrappergirl.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8345210bd69e2022ad3bfb9b0200b-500wi" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="IMG_4060" /><br />
<br />
For the spine, I added red, green and silver ribbon and tied some cute little christmas themed buttons using "Dress It Up" buttons.<br />
<br />
<a class="asset-img-link" href="https://scrappergirl.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8345210bd69e2022ad3bfb9b2200b-popup"><img alt="IMG_4060" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d8345210bd69e2022ad3bfb9b2200b img-responsive" src="https://scrappergirl.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8345210bd69e2022ad3bfb9b2200b-500wi" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="IMG_4060" /></a><br />

<span style="color: #0000ee;"><u><br /></u></span>I found some cute red ribbon with Rudolph at Michael's and added it to the album so it can be tied in a bow to close up the album.<br />
<br />

Today I wanted to share with you a fun mini album that I created of my dog Syd.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RZsodSyAZmM/W70feqe_SWI/AAAAAAAAVzQ/S0oWNKAXGpcm8I92eueBVQa2KMd9Y0vCgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1547.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RZsodSyAZmM/W70feqe_SWI/AAAAAAAAVzQ/S0oWNKAXGpcm8I92eueBVQa2KMd9Y0vCgCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_1547.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Syd and I go for walks near the river and forest near my home just about every day. I snapped these photos with my iPhone of the gorgeous colours of Autumn and thought I would create a fun mini album.<br />
<br />
Recently, a very talented lady named Cat Martin opened up an Etsy store named <a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/TheMintyOctopus">The Minty Octopus</a>. She designs gorgeous digital papers and elements and when I saw this new collection named Norwegian Wood, I knew I wanted it to create this album. Be sure to check out her <a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/TheMintyOctopus">Etsy store</a>.<br />
<br />
First I downloaded the papers and elements from the kit and resized them in my Silhouette Designer Edition software and used the Print And Cut feature on my Silhouette Cameo and printed them out on Epson Premium Matte Presentation Paper on my Epson home printer.<br />
<br />
After I made the foundation of my album and embellished it with ribbon and the elements, I thought I would add several flair buttons from <a href="http://etsy.com/shop/aflairforbuttons/">A Flair For Buttons</a> to make it more fun. When I add binder rings to my mini albums, it gives me the opportunity to add more "lumps and bumps" to my pages without being concerned that the mini album will be too bulky to open and close the pages with ease.<br />
<br />
Here are my pages:<br />

I'm all about using up paper collections and cut paper strips from the Echo Park Paper A Perfect Autumn Collection. I love the teal mixed in with the typical autumn colored papers. To complete the layout, I added some machine stitching with the teal twine and my We R Memory Keepers Stitch Happy Sewing Machine. </div>

I was asked to be a guest designer for the <a href="http://scrapbookingstore.com/">Scrapbookingstore</a> which is a very affordable scrapbooking kit club.<br />
<br />
When I saw the July Kit, I immediately knew that I wanted to create a summer mini album folio that includes a pocket, waterfall, tags and journaling cards.<br />
<br />
My daughter went to Texas two weeks ago for her summer vacation so I created this little book for her to add 15 photos and some little notes from her trip.<br />
<br />
The kit includes some cute patterned papers from Echo Park's Summer Fun Collection and also the sticker sheet from the same collection as well as some chipboard embellishments and journal cards from American Crafts.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OCiHntQu364/W155BMOgJZI/AAAAAAAAVkw/t1XfhM0kc6syIbM4ZRIrmG6Pgp_UfZwywCEwYBhgL/s1600/SS8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="944" data-original-width="1280" height="472" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OCiHntQu364/W155BMOgJZI/AAAAAAAAVkw/t1XfhM0kc6syIbM4ZRIrmG6Pgp_UfZwywCEwYBhgL/s640/SS8.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I made the front cover, back cover and spine from some medium weight chipboard and covered it with patterned papers from the kit. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-woKbNlSfWqA/W1549uAp9bI/AAAAAAAAVkM/SG68S_49_LoVl9h9FSW2nwV0Hq-YHcLOQCEwYBhgL/s1600/Folio2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1263" data-original-width="1600" height="504" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-woKbNlSfWqA/W1549uAp9bI/AAAAAAAAVkM/SG68S_49_LoVl9h9FSW2nwV0Hq-YHcLOQCEwYBhgL/s640/Folio2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I added a pocket on the inside cover and created some journaling cards and tags and added a ton of stickers and embellishments from the kit. In fact I actually used the entire sticker sheet to embellish the mini book. On the inside cover on the right hand side, I added a waterfall created with cardstock, patterned papers from the kit, and stickers. There is room to place fifteen photos.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-v9WvI5mgdpg/W1549Ifa7UI/AAAAAAAAVkE/Gg99T358i5sJOXycQso4shS-MaL9kXdpQCEwYBhgL/s1600/Folio3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1150" data-original-width="1600" height="458" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-v9WvI5mgdpg/W1549Ifa7UI/AAAAAAAAVkE/Gg99T358i5sJOXycQso4shS-MaL9kXdpQCEwYBhgL/s640/Folio3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decorated the outside covers with plenty of stickers as well. The title "summer" was created with stickers from the kit and I drew around the edges of the title with a fine black felt marker and a ruler to make it stand out more. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tms0JDIrBMM/W154_hUetvI/AAAAAAAAVkU/nNaSIOHXFAMXZhRF6fXkoBWXtzGw40a-wCEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_0737.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tms0JDIrBMM/W154_hUetvI/AAAAAAAAVkU/nNaSIOHXFAMXZhRF6fXkoBWXtzGw40a-wCEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_0737.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I added some alphabet stickers on the spine of the book as well and also added some black and white baker's twine and some black enamel dots from my stash to add some texture and dimension.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-K2eUVEvnZ7U/W155BHG5gPI/AAAAAAAAVks/HTnl3Wqu9MoZsP9a7FXkJ8fFW0IMsBUzwCEwYBhgL/s1600/SS7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="853" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-K2eUVEvnZ7U/W155BHG5gPI/AAAAAAAAVks/HTnl3Wqu9MoZsP9a7FXkJ8fFW0IMsBUzwCEwYBhgL/s640/SS7.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Recently I purchased a We R Memory Keepers Tag Maker and put it to use by altering the journal cards from the kit to create tags and then I punched a hole and tied some baker's twine. I added a lot of stickers to these too.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-veSHLuGJ2hA/W154_9lo_nI/AAAAAAAAVkY/bFNBNVFDdHIZNdZ3CcZi7hXbqWVSyd_EACEwYBhgL/s1600/Folio5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-veSHLuGJ2hA/W154_9lo_nI/AAAAAAAAVkY/bFNBNVFDdHIZNdZ3CcZi7hXbqWVSyd_EACEwYBhgL/s640/Folio5.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The paper waterfall was created with cardstock as a base and the patterned papers from the kit. Again I added some stickers to the bottom of each photo mat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I love making mini books and I was happy to give it as a gift to my daughter so that she can document her memories this summer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I still had plenty of leftovers from the kit to create some cards.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you check out the <a href="http://www.scrapbookingstore.com/">Scrapbookingstore</a>. They have a new kit each month starting at $14.99 which is really affordable for a scrapbook kit club. One of the lowest priced kits in the industry.</div>

I hope you are having a great day so far. It's very smoky where I live because of several forest fires burning in my area so it's a good excuse to stay indoors and do some papercrafting and blogging.<br />
<br />
I am really excited to share an interactive mini album that I created for my parents. They celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary in July and I wanted to give them something special that I put my heart and soul into so I decided to create this mini album for their anniversary gift.<br />
<br />
My three children and their spouses, my husband and parents got together and celebrated the very special occasion. It also was awesome because my parents were especially happy to meet their very first great grandchild that was only a few days old. I was able to take several photos so I will add those later as well as some my parents would like to add of their dating years, engagement, wedding day, and other special occasions.<br />
<br />
This is a very photo heavy blog post and I put a lot of time into this interactive mini album. It's probably my biggest project to date but I wanted it to be very special. I couldn't tell you how many pieces of heavy teal cardstock I used to create this album. It was a lot! I made the book completely from scratch. The book is made from medium weight chipboard that I covered with design papers.<br />
<br />
I wanted to give credit to <a href="https://www.rosakellyscrapbooking.com/">Rosa Kelly</a> for her tutorial that I followed. I adore her creations. I wanted to make the album my own so I printed the design papers on my Epson 4750 home printer on Epson Presentation Matte Paper. The collection I used for this album is the Abigail Collection from <a href="http://www.nitwitcollections.com/">Nitwit Collections</a>. When I first saw this collection I was in love! The teal and pink colors are some of my favorite color combinations. I wanted to create a somewhat romantic, vintage, shabby chic, Parisian feel. I thought it was perfect for a 60th wedding anniversary. My style is usually more trendy, but it was awesome to try something different.<br />
<br />
Here are the pages. I believe there is approximately enough space for 80 photos. I haven't decided what paper I will mat the photos with, but it will probably be more of the teal cardstock.<br />

On July 1 I had my first grandchild and to document the memories of the first two weeks I thought it would be appropriate to create a little "brag book". I have an obsession with mini albums at the moment and wanted to share this little accordion mini that I created with envelopes for <a href="http://www.paperhouseproductions.com/">Paper House Productions.</a><br />

The foundation of the album is made with five white envelopes measuring approximately 5 1/2 inches by 4 1/4 inches. I glued them together and cut a little piece of the top of each envelope to create the pockets.</div>

The photo mats were made with dark blue 110 pound card stock so that they hold up to some wear and tear and don't bend as easily. I added the patterned paper to each card. The photos were printed in the 2X3 size. I added stickers and puffy stickers.</div>

<br />
I love camping, nature and the outdoors and all of my three grown children love it too so when I saw the beautiful collections from <a href="http://www.paperhouseproductions.com/">Paper House Productions</a>, I knew that I wanted to create some mini albums for my daughter to add some photos of their camping trips. This album was created with 8X8 inch white envelopes that I created from scratch. It makes a great foundation for the pages.<br />

I added brown 110 pound card stock to the base and also photo mats that I tucked into pockets of the pages and added patterned papers and stickers from Paper House Productions The Great Outdoors Camping, Hunting, and Fishing Collections. I love these collections and the 3-D stickers just finish off the album nicely with a little pizzazz and dimension.</div>

It's great to be back creating after a crazy July.<br />
<br />
Today I wanted to share a mini album that I created while I was away at my daughter's home. Of course it is for my new grandson and it took a LOT of time and paper.<br />
<br />
I followed a tutorial by <a href="https://jshobbiesandcrafts.com/">Shellie Geigle</a>. She is an excellent teacher. I used a lot of the same supplies that she recommended, but also used some of my own to make it my own. The book is made from medium weight chipboard that I added a 3 1/2 inch spine and gussets to add the pages.<br />
<br />
Here are photos of the mini album:<br />

I think I'm on a mini album kick now.<br />
<br />
I'll be giving this to my son and daughter in law so that they can add photos of my grandson.<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by and I will have some more projects to share very soon.<br />
<br />

Happy Friday! I hope you are all doing well. It's been a long time since I've posted on my blog. July has been a month of ups and downs so that is why I haven't been blogging.<br />
<br />
On July 1, my first grandchild was born! It's a boy!<br />

A healthy, beautiful baby boy that has captured my heart and let me tell you, the first time I held him, it was one of the most special moments of my life. He was born on Canada Day, which is Canada's birthday and it will be so awesome that every year he will share his birthday with my country Canada. My son says he will have to celebrate July 1 of each year with fireworks to make it extra special.<br />

Also on July 1, my youngest child went by ambulance to the hospital. I wasn't at home, I was at a scrapbook retreat and my husband was able to be at the hospital for her and luckily she was going to be ok.<br />
<br />
Then on July 5, my mother celebrated her 80th birthday and also my parents were celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary on July 19.<br />
<br />
My grandbaby arrived three weeks early so the plans that I had to celebrate my mom's special day and my parents 60th wedding anniversary got changed. I travelled to see my grandbaby, who lives about 200 miles away from where I live. To make it all work, I planned a little gathering on July 7, booked a hotel, ordered balloons, a cake and made dinner reservations near where my son, daughter-in-law and grandson live and my parents drove the 200 miles.<br />
<br />
To make a long story short, my three children, their spouses, my parents, my grandson, and my husband and I all were together, even if it was for one day to celebrate three important milestones. It was so special! My parents were great grandparents for the first time and it was so beautiful to see the smiles on their faces when they held their great grandson for the first time.<br />

That was a whirlwind weekend, but I was able to take lots and lots of photos to scrapbook later...<br />
<br />
Then, my son in law was scheduled for major surgery on July 9 and in less than a week, he had a total of three surgeries because of unforeseen complications and a life threatening infection. He was placed in the Intensive Care Unit. I had driven home for one day and ended up having to go back to stay at my daughter's house and give some help and support so she could be with her husband. It was scary. There were times that I wasn't sure the outcome was going to be good and a person doesn't know how strong they are until strong is all they have. I am happy to say that he was discharged from the hospital yesterday. Hopefully he will continue to improve and will make a speedy recovery.<br />
<br />
With all the crazy happenings, needless to say, all of my paper crafting and design team commitments were put on hold. I simply didn't have the time and I simply couldn't focus on being creative. Things are starting to get back to normal and I am itching to create again.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
Before July, I was on a mini album kick and created a mini album for my parents 60th wedding anniversary, two baby mini albums for my new grandson, and a traveller's notebook for my daughter's upcoming trip to Texas next week. I love making albums completely from scratch and documenting the memories.<br />
<br />
It feels good to be back creating again and I'm looking forward to the next few months designing for <a href="http://www.paperhouseproductions.com/">Paper House Productions</a>, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/aflairforbuttons/">A Flair For Buttons</a>, and also have a layout that will be published in the Fall 2018 issue of <a href="https://scrapbookandcards.com/">Scrapbook And Cards Today Magazine</a> as well as an invitation to be a guest designer for a kit club named <a href="https://www.scrapbookingstore.com/learn-more">Scrapbooking Store</a>.<br />
<br />
So that is a little update from me. Keep checking back to see some projects that I will be working on.<br />
<br />
I hope you have a great day and happy creating!</div>

It's the weekend and today I wanted to share a layout that I created for <a href="http://etsy.com/shop/aflairforbuttons/">A Flair For Buttons.</a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DzF38akn0Xk/Wwd_F5nz-xI/AAAAAAAAVcI/5EMtp9BaLBUYvbWJD1Y9zfR7CXr_C6zIQCLcBGAs/s1600/Daffodils.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1467" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DzF38akn0Xk/Wwd_F5nz-xI/AAAAAAAAVcI/5EMtp9BaLBUYvbWJD1Y9zfR7CXr_C6zIQCLcBGAs/s640/Daffodils.jpg" width="586" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
In April, I went to a scrapbooking retreat and decided to hand stitch a layout of daffodils because I wanted to hang it in my home to celebrate spring which happens to be my favorite season. With the long, harsh winters where I live, it is always great when the birds are chirping, the trees are blooming, the grass is green and the flowers are sprouting up in the gardens.<br />
<br />
Daffodils are such a happy flower and when I saw a<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/589490340/daffodils-flower-cut-file-svg-dxf-png"> Daffodils Flowers Cut File</a> designed by Paige Evans, I knew that I wanted to use my sketch pens in my Silhouette Cameo and sketch the daffodils design so I could hand stitch it. Yes, it was a labor of love, but I really enjoy the process and personally, I find it very relaxing and therapeutic.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wj1eonqO-WI/WweH3tmueuI/AAAAAAAAVdE/A9JrBdx1fdA0qRDlk-v6WLlZJS_ExQeTwCLcBGAs/s1600/Daffodils3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wj1eonqO-WI/WweH3tmueuI/AAAAAAAAVdE/A9JrBdx1fdA0qRDlk-v6WLlZJS_ExQeTwCLcBGAs/s640/Daffodils3.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7H7T4uTUoWc/WweGokHIVvI/AAAAAAAAVcs/bXkuf1Yt4wgaXZfPfDulcbylTnU4_TbXACEwYBhgL/s1600/Daffodils2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7H7T4uTUoWc/WweGokHIVvI/AAAAAAAAVcs/bXkuf1Yt4wgaXZfPfDulcbylTnU4_TbXACEwYBhgL/s640/Daffodils2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
After the design was stitched, I wanted to add some more color so I decided to take my Distress Oxides and a water brush and water color inside of the stitched design.<br />
<br />
Adding a photo to this layout just didn't seem right because I wanted the hand stitched and watercolored daffodils to be the star of the show.<br />
<br />
The embellishments to complete the layout were kept to a minimum so I added the yellow watercolor circle flair button to dot the "i" in the word "smile". It was from the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/598114723/watercolor-circles-flair?ga_search_query=watercolor&ref=shop_items_search_12">Watercolor Circles Flair Set </a>from <a href="http://etsy.com/shop/aflairforbuttons/">A Flair For Buttons.</a> I also added some coordinating sequins and enamel hearts. The title completed the layout and I went with yellow, green and black alphabet letters to give it more interest.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-t_0xyOU300M/WweH0Gtb5zI/AAAAAAAAVc8/k62X4C26gy4FOk52D3oYplAm5W0TjYHOQCLcBGAs/s1600/Daffodils1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1071" data-original-width="1600" height="428" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-t_0xyOU300M/WweH0Gtb5zI/AAAAAAAAVc8/k62X4C26gy4FOk52D3oYplAm5W0TjYHOQCLcBGAs/s640/Daffodils1.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
For photography purposes, I took photos of the layout before I framed it in a 12X12 scrapbook frame so there wouldn't be any glare from the glass frame.<br />
<br />
I hope you are inspired to try something a little different by adding flair buttons to dot the "i" in a word and also some hand stitching and water coloring. Just have fun with it!<br />

Happy Friday! Today I wanted to share a layout that I created of my daughter in law Lori. She is such a beautiful soul and I am so proud of her.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added two flair buttons from <a href="http://etsy.com/shop/aflairforbuttons/">A Flair For Buttons</a>. The "Be Brave" flair button is from the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/386908718/inspirational-words-4-flair?ref=shop_home_active_1">Inspirational Words 4 Flair Set</a> and the orange circles flair button is from the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/584324042/pastel-circle-flair?ga_search_query=pastel+circle+flair&ref=shop_items_search_1">Pastel Circle Flair Set. </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zbjAms6nToI/WvTiEC6ZAyI/AAAAAAAAVaU/qFS5asR6XnctVWnkdTF2eqEEMST4C6WqQCEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_9891.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zbjAms6nToI/WvTiEC6ZAyI/AAAAAAAAVaU/qFS5asR6XnctVWnkdTF2eqEEMST4C6WqQCEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_9891.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I began creating the layout by purchasing the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/592433180/flower-bunch-cut-file-svg-dxf-png?ref=shop_home_active_83">A Flower Bunch Cut File</a> designed by Paige Evans. I cut it out on white card stock with my Silhouette Cameo. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JvAWx56Ni4w/WvTiEMcjQJI/AAAAAAAAVaY/PrLS29sK0eohyEtO5gyq0WJ2ubRavz1vwCEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_9892.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="426" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JvAWx56Ni4w/WvTiEMcjQJI/AAAAAAAAVaY/PrLS29sK0eohyEtO5gyq0WJ2ubRavz1vwCEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_9892.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the cut file as a "stencil" and created two layouts. For this layout I used the positive shape. First I took my Vicki Boutin Small Stencil Brush and Vicki Boutin's Art Crayons and dry brushed the cut file. Then I backed the cut file with patterned papers from Vicki Boutin's All The Good Things 7X10 Paper Pad. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IvueBoy2xhI/WvTiFnf8ESI/AAAAAAAAVao/MIISHTfFYtE_QFwCFEeAeNaXEENh8yB0QCEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_9897.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IvueBoy2xhI/WvTiFnf8ESI/AAAAAAAAVao/MIISHTfFYtE_QFwCFEeAeNaXEENh8yB0QCEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_9897.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I began by blending some Abandoned Coral Distress Oxide, with a round foam applicator, onto Vicki Boutin's All The Good Things 12" X 12" White Foundations Mixed Media Art Paper. I placed the cut file on top and popped it up with several foam squares to give it some depth. To embellish the layout, I added ephemera pieces and stickers from Paige Evan's Pick-Me-Up Collection and sprinkled some enamel dots from Pinkfresh Studios and the title of the layout "Lori" with some gold alphabet stickers that were also from Pinkfresh Studios.</div>

Hello friends! The May sneak peeks are up at <a href="http://www.mycreativescrapbook.com/">My Creative Scrapbook</a> and they are awesome!</div>
<br />
I created some projects with the May Creative Kit and wanted to share one of my layouts with this adorable kit that includes some papers and embellishments from Echo Park's Hello Spring and Hello Easter Collections, twine, white pom pom ribbon, white foam alphabet stickers and banner pieces from American Crafts and flower stickers from Pebbles Inc.<br />

I took out my circle paper punches and one of my scalloped circle paper punches and punched paper circles in several colors and stacked them. I added some chipboard stickers on top and arranged the stacked paper punched circles on the white background cardstock. </div>

I had fun with the white pom pom ribbon and cut it apart and glued five pom poms on the sheep chipboard sticker to give it a woolly look.</div>

For the title of the layout "Easter Fun", I added the two border stickers to the bottom of the page and added the white foam alphabet stickers that I added various colors of Nuvo Crystal Drops in several coordinating colors to give the title some interest and dimension and then added some more chipboard stickers.</div>
<br />
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SIdEShP22kY/Wux4s90j7RI/AAAAAAAAVPA/-Z3GmEOFElQvKf5u4RqciaiR6nW8n0a5ACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9743.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="729" data-original-width="1600" height="290" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SIdEShP22kY/Wux4s90j7RI/AAAAAAAAVPA/-Z3GmEOFElQvKf5u4RqciaiR6nW8n0a5ACLcBGAs/s640/IMG_9743.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />

Finally I stitched around the edge of the white cardstock with white thread and my sewing machine.<br />

Today I wanted to share a quick tutorial on how I altered my white foam alphabet stickers that were included in the April Creative Kit for <a href="http://www.mycreativescrapbook.com/">My Creative Scrapbook</a>.<br />
<br />
To alter the white foam alphabet stickers on the layout below, I used a black Faber Castell Pitt Big Brush Pen. These pens come in an assortment of colors, are permanent India ink and won't bleed. The ink dries quickly and I have found they are perfect for this technique. The pens are also used in mixed media and stamping images instead of an ink pad. I wanted to alter my title "Girl Squad" in black to coordinate with my layout.<br />

<br />
<br />
I created a short video on how to do this. Beware, I am a newbie at making videos, but practice makes perfect right? When I get more experienced at this, I will add my voice.<br />
Check it out here:<br />

<br />
Hello friends!<br />
<br />
I was asked by the lovely Laurel Seabrook to be a guest designer for the <a href="https://theseinspiredchallenges.blogspot.ca/">Inspired By Challenge Blog</a> and I was more than happy to create a layout.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vqBL5LkuaRo/Ws7_s2aZnzI/AAAAAAAAVNM/winJ8tHVHyA9Y8WKuMc4S9fCh_tnpqseQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_6670.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1597" data-original-width="1600" height="638" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vqBL5LkuaRo/Ws7_s2aZnzI/AAAAAAAAVNM/winJ8tHVHyA9Y8WKuMc4S9fCh_tnpqseQCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_6670.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Last October, my youngest son turned eighteen years old and because it was a milestone birthday, my husband and I surprised him with a trip to see his favorite band Pink Floyd in concert.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To begin, I used my We R Memory Keepers Stitch Happy Sewing Machine and the Stitch Happy Thread in the color citrine and stitched a random design on the white card stock background. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I wanted to add a guitar to the layout so I found the <a href="https://justnick.myshopify.com/blogs/justnick/i-wanna-rock">I Wanna Rock</a> digital cut files from <a href="http://www.justnick.myshopify.com/">Just Nick Digital Cut Files,</a> and cut them out with my Silhouette Cameo. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eEIKlcujL3w/Ws8AlJxUbTI/AAAAAAAAVNY/8x0Z1nxqSycImVQrWD23TxnFwv_X2PL3QCLcBGAs/s1600/18422139_10158660825645720_4173844112240817185_o_large.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="443" data-original-width="480" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eEIKlcujL3w/Ws8AlJxUbTI/AAAAAAAAVNY/8x0Z1nxqSycImVQrWD23TxnFwv_X2PL3QCLcBGAs/s1600/18422139_10158660825645720_4173844112240817185_o_large.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
For the guitar, I first cut the arrow patterned paper and then offset the design in the Silhouette Studio software and cut the guitar design out on black card stock as well as a few other designs for my layout.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jH9oxVnfS_c/Ws8BsOkKJnI/AAAAAAAAVOI/LvVTXsp7iDc4PH8-yHXe_IqtPvAk9TYbACEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_6665.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jH9oxVnfS_c/Ws8BsOkKJnI/AAAAAAAAVOI/LvVTXsp7iDc4PH8-yHXe_IqtPvAk9TYbACEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_6665.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Once I was done with the cutting, I had a lightbulb moment to use gold thread for the frets and black thread for the strings. I thought some pewter sequins would be great to embellish the head of the guitar. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Of course I had to use some flair buttons that I have been waiting to use from the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/200235510/rock-on-3-flair?ga_search_query=music&ref=shop_items_search_4">Rock On 3</a> Flair Set and the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/223514887/hello-weekend-flair?ga_search_query=weekend&ref=shop_items_search_1">Hello Weekend Flair</a> at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/aflairforbuttons/">A Flair For Buttons</a>. They were placed in a triangle design on the layout to draw the eyes around the page. </div>

The grey alphabet stickers for the title and the patterned papers were from Bella Blvd.'s Alex Collection. I outlined the alphabet stickers with a black fine line felt pen and then placed them on a border sticker and took my sewing machine and stitched across the title to make sure that they were going to stay put. </div>

Once I had completed the layout, I thought the page didn't look complete and was missing something so I decided to use the packaging technique and my Distress Oxide in Bundled Sage to add some mixed media to the layout. I think it gives it more of a grungy look and I was happier with the result. </div>

Today I wanted to share a layout that I created for <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/aflairforbuttons/">A Flair For Buttons</a> using some flair from the new <a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/183488682/watercolor-splatter-flair?ga_search_query=watercolor+splatter&ref=shop_items_search_1">Watercolor Splatters Flair Set. </a><br />

As soon as I saw these flair, I knew that I wanted to add them to my layout. I chose the green, pink and blue flair buttons from the set to add to my layout. The colors coordinate perfectly with the colors of my layout. I strategically placed them in a triangle to draw the eyes around the page.</div>

I put my We R Memory Keepers Stitch Happy Sewing Machine to work and machine stitched in pink, aqua, and citrine thread on the white card stock background. When I planned out the page, I wanted to stitch a design that would draw the eye to the flower. </div>

The photo was matted on some papers from the new Photoplay Paper Mad For Plaid Happy Collection. I really love the plaid and the colors in this collection. Also, I added some stickers popped up with foam dots, and die cut some butterflies on vellum and wrapped some citrine thread around the centers of the butterflies.</div>

The cut file and title were free digital cut files from <a href="http://www.scrapbooknerd.ca/">Scrapbook Nerd</a>. I cut the title on black card stock and the floral cut file on white card stock with my electronic die cutting machine. I wanted the title to really pop so I added some faux stitching with a white gel pen.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
For the floral cut file, I used some Vicki Boutin Art Crayons and water to paint the flowers and added some enamel dots to the middle of the flowers.</div>
