Stamping Bella's Challenge

Emily issued another challenge to use a button on a layout and any of the following colours for a combo. Red, black, cream, or baby blue.

I did a layout with the new Ketto's, some stamps from Inkadinkado. It turned out awesome.

The fan and latern are all 3D. It looks awesome up close, now I just have to figure out what picture I am going to put with it.

Face Cream

Had a great day at work! Came home, ate, and watched some TV. I was kinda cold so before I went to bed I decided I would take a quick shower before I went to bed. When I got out my face was pretty dry, so I decided I would borrow my mom's face cream. Seemed pretty normal...until I wake up the next morning with an orange face and two orange hands.

Scary.....

Apparently on the bottle, when it says "glow" it means there is self tanner. WOW! Was the blonde showing then.

Of course when I went into work the next day everyone got a good laugh. My self included.

Just goes to show you, if it ain't yours don't use it!!

PJ Crop

Veronica hosted an amazing crop on Saturday, the theme PJ's. Over 30 ladies joined us. Here we all are in ournight wear.


I had an amazing time at the crop. We had two card swaps that were hosted by Vern. The cards were amazing. Everyone did such an amazing job. The food was fantastic as was the store. Got lots of work done.I will upload the photos from the card swap tomorrow to show all the lovely work.

Workshop Retreat

WOW! It certainly has been some time since I wrote.

I am getting ready to go to the Workshop's retreat in Collingwood. I am so excited I don't think I will be able to sleep. Well I will try. My bags are packed, my fingers are twitching and I am ready to emerse myself in glue, gitter, and all kinds of fun stuff.

I am bringing quite a bit to work on. Hopefully I will get a lot done, and be able to post some more work I have completed.

Well got to get finished organizing.

Cottage

Got to spend some time at the cottage last weekend. Sarah and I left Friday night around 11pm. We had to make a small detour at Sarah's house but then we were off. Driving through Bradford and the smell of the farms and the onions is one thing I miss about living there. Every year you could smell these amazing smells, the fresh vegetables, the cow poop being put on the fields.

So on our way up Sarah and I encountered the WORST fog I have ever seen in my life. I could not see three feet in front of me. It took us almost three hours to get up north, not including the extra time we spent because i missed the cutoff, mainly because i could not see it. At one point on the highway we were doing 30 mp/h. Can you believe that. I was horrible. But luckily we got there safe and sound. I was up really early on Saturday Morning, about 6am. Got some really great shots of the fog on the lake.

I love this photo. It has to be one of my favorites.

We ended up leaving sunday afternoon. On the way home while in Barrie there was this horrific accident that took up two lanes on each side of the highway. We managed to pass it just in time.

There was debris all over the highway, it was like a mine field trying to avoid all the bits and pieces.

Bella Card Class

Today, I signed Carol and myself up for a class at Stamping Bella, "all that sparkles". I am so excited. Nicky is teaching the class but i have to wait two weeks. Blah!! But it will be worth it. Nicky does some amazing work.

Well that's all for today.

Last Weekend

Well, since I just started this blog today, and since i am going to tell you about my scrappin and such I thought I would tell you about this past weekend.

It started out early friday morning.....nah, just kiddin. On Friday, I visited the Stamping Bella Store in Thornhill. Can I just say it was like walking into paradise, and yet just a bit overwhelming. I was like a kid in a candy store, awed at every turn. Met the Bella herself, Emily. She is awesome. She is welcoming and so much fun. I saw Nicky there, and met some other wonderful ladies.

Later Friday night I went over to Veronica's and we did some scrappin. I worked on my invitation for the Halloween part I am throwing this year. I can not wait. You see Halloween is like my Christmas. I have way to much fun for a grown woman. But as they say, "we are children at heart", and mine always comes to visit at Halloween.

Saturday, I went out to help my sister at school. When you only have three hours of sleep and then you are moving stuff around all day, you get completely wiped out. I crashed as soon as I got home. Dead to the world. Sarah came over after she finished work, and we went out to see House Bunny. God, it was histerical. Then we came home, hung out, and by then i was like a walking zombie, so we went to bed.

Sarah left sunday morning to go to work, and I cleaned my Scrappin room and fiddled with some ideas I had for a card. Which by the way turned out to be so cute. Will upload for next time.
