Secret Sister's Crop Day

.
Hi Ladies,

It's me again. So yesterday the girls got together for a little crop. We also had vendors in for Close to my Heart and Pampered Chef. We also had two jewelry vendors in. I got to see Katie and her mom again, which was great.

I also worked on some cards. I love House Mouse stamps. They are the cutest little mice ever.

I used the Bella paper by Close to my Heart. I coloured the image with my copic markers.



I got this stamp at Scrapping Turtle in St.Jacobs.



Here is my card.

Enjoy.

Scraps, Scraps and more scraps....

.
So I decided today that I would make a card entirely of scraps I had in my scrap box. This was a huge challenge for me as I haven't been into this box in about 3 years. It contains all kinds of bits of patterned paper and cardstock.

I decided that I would find a sketch from the Splitcoast Stampers website. I decided to do their newest posting from November 4, 2009. This is what they posted.



This was certainly different for me. So I pulled out some paper and decided to use one of my Close to my Heart stamp sets. I used "Reach for the Stars". It is a great little stamp set for those of us aiming for the stars and beyond.


The copic colours I used in this card are as follows:

BG05 - Holiday Blue
YG23 - New Leaf
RV69 - Peony

It turned out awesome. Here is my card. I changed the landscape of the sketch.





Here is the close-up of my card.

I also accented the spaceship with glitter.

OVO - Part Two

.

Ok, so now it is the next day and i'm dragging my feet. We got home after the show at around 11:30 - and I didn't fall asleep until 2:30am.

At least I have Starbucks!! Thank God for my "Grande Cinnamon Dolce".....mmmmm........

So, the second half of the show was great as well. The had a whole segement with a spider and her web. I can honestly saw I never thought the human body could twist like that. She put the best contortionist to shame.

They also did a little love scene between the blue bug and the lady bug. SO CUTE!

They also used trampolines with the grasshoppers. WOW. It was pretty awesome.

The end was a huge banquet where all the bugs came out. Fantastic.

As a side note - the music was done by a live band. The singer was spectacular.

Ok. Well that's all for now!!

If you get a chance to go - GO - you will enjoy it!!

OVO - Part One

.

All I can say is WOW!!! The show so far has been spectacular! It's the intermission now and I have seen all kinds of bugs.

The best so far has been the cute lady bug. She is just so cute.

I have seen two dueling bugs - praying mantis - spiders - bugs flipping corn and kiwis. These dancers-acrobats are completely astounding!!

There was one dancer all by himself and he danced so beautifully. He could even hold himself up by one hand - and get this - spin around. Spectacular!!!

When the grasshoppers came out they went around visiting everyone.well wouldn't you know it. It stopped in between my parents. Scared my mom half to death - while I was peeing myself laughing - IT WAS GREAT!!!!

Well that's all till after the show!!

Muah to all those "OVO" fans out there!!!

As a challenge - do you know what OVO means?
I do.... But I'm not telling!
Well maybe...but not until later.

SNOW in Toronto?!?!?!?!?!

.

Ok. So while I was at work at my desk, I get an email from my friend.

"it's snowing. woo hoo"

I turned around, and wouldn't you know it....the stupid white stuff is falling.

I am astounded, however, it only lasts a few minutes. It definately was a sure sign that that time is coming however much we don't want it too!!

I am very excited today, as my parents, my friend Julie, and I are going to go see OVO by Cirque du Soleil. I have been told that it is amazing. I will give you all the details tomorrow.
