The one with all the trim!

I have always loved ribbons! Ever since I was little. I used to have a little box that I kept all my favorite ribbons and trims in. Not sure why I kept them all these years..... but now it seems they are totally in for scrapbooking! Good thing I kept them :)

This weekend I was over at Scrappy Chic and it was all about the trims for me! Chris has the new American Crafts ribbon wall set up... and its awesome!!!
Picked up this little guy from Maya Road..... its so soft.... we were all petting it at the counter! The color and size is great too.... less than an inch wide!


These next two I had to have... since I already love the baby version of this ribbon.... this big daddy verion almost 2" wide!!!! I have so many ideas for this already!

Yup I got both white and brown :)

On to Making Memories.... who has really out done themselves with the trims this time around!

These browns are from the Reverie line.... love the thin brown sparkle! And I am not a bling person at all so.... but its so delicate... love it!

This brown pleated velvet.... well I bought at least 2 yards of that... used a ton already :) Its going into my must have list. Think I need at least another yard!!!

With Christmas coming don't you think this would be great on some Christmas cards?? Yup the same little ribbon in green..... this is in their Halloween line!!!

The orange is something I bought a while ago.... its rick rack + pleats + polka dots + wide + orange..... I love it! Have no idea what to use it on yet but couldn't pass it up. Oh and it does come in pink as well!!! (check their valentines line!!!)

Ok back to work for me :)

Waiting on my kit from Catch the Moments.... can't wait to get started on that! Also will have a new layout to show you soon.... just need some time to edit the photos.

Have a great afternoon!!

The one with a SALE!

Its a Friday before Black Friday Sale!!!!

It starts tonight at Midnight... or is that tomorrow morning at Midnight?

Over on the Catch the Moments Kit Blog!!!

Devon will be posting 10 different sales throughout the day. So you have to head over and check often. Best idea : Become a follower and add it to your google reader! It will alert you when she makes a new post... which means a new deal. Then you just e-mail her for each deal that you want. When its all said and done she will e-mail you a total for everything you bought that day. Sounds complicated... but its super easy :)

Head on over and check out her post... she has more details over here!

I have a feeling there will be some kits on sale...possibly! Also she is a great resource for buying part packages of items. Love those Jenni Bowlin buttons but don't want to pay $4 per pack? She sells them in smaller amounts... so you get three different colors of buttons for about the same price. I just got an assortment of brown, white and pink :)

Love ribbon but don't want to buy a whole pack... she sells it by the yard. Cheapest price on ribbon (especially the Dear Lizzy Rose ribbon!) that I have seen anywhere!

Have a great day Shopping tomorrow!

The one with some Friends

I absolutely LOVE the neighborhood that I grew up in. It was beautiful, the neighbors were fun and got along and had lots of kids. Whenever I got by the old house I remember all the good times we had playing there. You know back when kids would play outside all day going from one house to another as long as they were home before dark! It makes me sad that it won't be the same when I have kids of my own.


But we were lucky. Every Canada day weekend my dad and some of the other dad's would collect money from everyone on the block and buy a TON of fireworks. All the moms would make snacks and bring drinks. After the fireworks we would get sparklers and run around in the street!


Late in the summer when I started to get dark earlier, we would have huge games of hide and go seek in the dark. We had teams... usually girls vs boys! In the winter our backyard would flood every year.... which made the best natural ice rink. All the kids would come skating at our house. On snow days all the moms would come over and bring tons of food... all the kids would make snow forts and play in the snow.


Ahh... good times :) .... maybe I should get back on topic to my layout :)

These are some of the neighborhood kids. Me in the front and my brother Sean at the end. Mostly Doodlebug products used here with some KI letter rubons. I really love how this turned out since its very different than my usual style.... but it suits the theme of the paper and picture.

With the lack of sunlight the past couple weeks its been hard to get good pictures of my layouts. So its the best I could get!

In other scrappy news.... the kit that I posed about a couple days ago from Catch the Moments Kits is on sale this week! All the kits that are normally $18 are now $14! So head on over and check it out :)

Have a great day!

The one with some Suede

One of my favorite shows in Project Runway...... unfortunately since it switched networks those of us in Canada no longer get it on regular tv! So I have missed most of this season... only watched a few episodes online when I could find them.

At CHA this summer I got to meet Suede from season 7. (I think I posted this pic just after I got back) But here it is all scrapped up :)

Used the new Glitz products here.... the paper, transparency, tulle and journal cards.
Here is a close up of the flower and tulle arrangement in the corner. My favorite part of the page. Those are the smae kind of flowers I used on the wedding page a couple days ago.... glimmer misted them up to give the color more punch and some sparkle.
Hope you all had a great weekend! Mine was busy working on the basement as usual. The grout is done and the carpet is in... just leaves some trim and then its time to decorate... which is the fun part!!!

On Friday night some friends of our from the states came over for dinner. We went to this little place called Vito's..... SO GOOD! I can see why my brother and Jess ate there like every weekend! lol.

I promise soon some basement reno pics. My brother from T.O. has been asking :) Wish I had remembered to take some good 'before' shots... no one will believe how bad it really was ;)

The one with 2 Lizzy's!

Another CHA photo here! Posed this pic before and sent a link of the post to Lizzy herself and she commented on my blog. My journaling is kinda silly... but I was so geeked when she left a comment that I used it as my journaling :)

Lots of AC Dear Lizzy products used here mixed with some new paper from MME - fine and dandy. The banner is from MME as well... check out this set here! Love this.

And for the record.... I know I'm addicted to the banner 'trend'! I just can't help it. I really hope that its a trend that sticks around... because I think every second page I have made this year has one. lol :)

Now will someone just come out with a triangle punch already! I would buy that up in a second! Hint Hint .... Fiskers and Martha ;)
