Got Glue?

I know I do.  This could be a very sticky situation.  Every Wednesday, Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine has a contest called "Why Not Win Wednesdays".  All you have to do is comment on the prize that they are giving away from a sponsor for that week and they do a random draw.  On this particular week, Helmar, an Australian company that makes fantastic adhesives for scrapbooking, crafts and hardware had a wonderful prize pack of all sorts of adhesive goodies and guess who is the proud winner?

Helmar Adhesives Prize Pack

I can't tell you enough how much I love their Liquid Scrap Dots and the 450 adhesive for my scrapbooking and paper crafting projects. It's going to be so fun to try all the other goodies and I have total faith that they stand by their products 100%.

So I want to thank Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine for this.  You guys are so awesome and I'm so proud to be a Canadian scrapbooker and also Helmar for making such wonderful products!

Scrapbook Challenges Sketch #297

Hope everyone had a good weekend.  I love May in western Canada!  The trees are blooming with beautiful pink and white blossoms and the air smells wonderful with the scent of Mayday trees.  The grass is nice and green and I'm looking forward to getting outside and doing some gardening and planting my flowers.  It  also makes me think of summer vacation and my son's school getting out for summer break in a month.  

Today the Scrapbook Challenges sketch is nice and simple and I love the simplicity.  As always, there is a choice of a one page layout sketch or a two page layout sketch.  Sometimes it nice to have the flexibility and to challenge yourself and get out of your comfort zone.

Here is what I created with the one page sketch:

Hello Summer

Happy scrapping!

Twisted Sketches Sketch #152

Today is the day that Sketch #152 is revealed over at Twisted Sketches.

The twist on the sketch is "Mom".  I chose to do a layout of my son when he was nine years old.  Isn't he a cutie?  He always was my guinea pig for new smoothie recipes that I would try.

Twisted Sketches Sketch #152

His favourite smoothie that he loves is orange juice, vanilla yogurt, strawberries, blueberries and raspberries.  I make this for him often and love this time of year when the berries are in season.

Hope you have a wonderful day and play along with the sketch.

SC Sketch #296

Today at Scrapbook Sketches we have a nice simple sketch.  Sometimes I love the simplicity.

Yes I like to play in the kitchen as well.  I'm always up to finding a new recipe and I love cooking brunch on Sundays.

Hope you enjoy the sketch.

Scrapbook Challenges Sketch #295

Happy Monday!  I hope everyone that is a mother had a Happy Mother's Day yesterday.  It was a very quiet day for me as I just celebrated it with my twelve year old son.  He was very sweet and made me breakfast yesterday and brought me water and cold drinks all day while I scrapbooked.  I feel very blessed to have him.  My husband was working away and my two married children live three hours away so they weren't here to celebrate it with me.  Even my own mother was away!

Since it was Mother's Day, I thought I would create a layout of myself as a mom and wife.  It is weird scrapbooking about myself, but my children need some for their albums.

Mom & Wife

A good portion of the layout was made with my Making Memories Slice.  Here are the sketches to play along and create your own layout:

Have fun with the sketch and play along and upload it to Scrapbook Challenges Sketch #295 forum thread and the Scrapbook Challenges gallery.  You might win the Gallery Gem Award for the week!

Have an awesome day!
