Can't wait for club tomorrow!

Tomorrow is my first Scrappin Simply Club. I am beyond excited. For those who don't know these last couple months have been rough- my Nana and Grandpa moved here from Winnipeg in Nov and I've been loving my time with them and helping care for Nana. Well end of Feb Nana got sick so I spent a lot of time in hospital with her until her passing Mar 6th. It's been hard plus all the normal craziness of my life. So I NEED this me time! Anyone else?! LOL.

I took the Chantilly paper pack from the Workshop on the Go which is rather feminine and used the reverse side (love love love how CTMH papers have that option) and made a layout for my oldest son as he's often forgotten in my scrapbooking as he's not a huge fan of getting his picture taken. But man he can take a good pic if you catch him at the right moment. Which makes layouts of him even more special to me.

I still used the dark pink sparkly gems as I find it gives the right amount of sparkle and shot of colour. I also used different sizes photos. I often print in 4x6 and take lots of pics. So I like to add extra in and play with the sizes to make the layouts own.

The first picture is what I created with using the Workshop on the Go as my base. The second is the sample of one of the layout pages from the brochure so you can see what I was starting with.

Wish you were joining me tomorrow?! Let me know and you can join us in May! I know I'm already excited about what we will do next month! The club will decide tomorrow!

Hopefully even if you are not coming tomorrow you can find some ME time in your life and some down time for some Scrappin!

Wow...where does the time go?!

Hi there!
I'm not sure where the past month has gone!  Simply crazy!  I have so much to post but not enough time!  I did want to share at least 1 layout I did from the AWESOME WEEKEND RETREAT I was on!  It was so great to have a full night sleep!  Oh- and scrapbooking too LOL!!  Actually that was the best- to just leave my stuff out, work and stop to eat, then go back when I wanted.  I didn't get as much done as I had wanted but, do you ever?

I have a 2 page layout I did with the Miracle Scrapbooking Kit.  The funny thing is, I got this kit last year, but now they have it as a paper package!  The kit worked great with my photos.  I did 2- 2 page layouts and still have more to use!  Everything was included as well as an instruction brochure so no thought was involved.  Well, a little as I never have the right sized photos.  So I do the layout then move my pictures around until I get them to work.  Sometimes I need to add some matting, sometimes the paper in the background is enough.

If you have any questions about the layout let me know!  The picture was taken with my Blackberry so quality isn't great but it will work!  I want to take pictures of my other layouts.  I'm especially excited to show you what I have done with Flip Flaps.  On my list of things to do!

Here is the layout- I'd love to hear what you think!  Have a fabulous day!
