Claude Monet inspired

The colour crop at ScrapCentral.ca continues.

Daniel bought a packet of photos home with him from his trip to Victoria. Here he is reading with Kona on Grandma's sofa. Pretty much all Bo Bunny. I did this one for a 'burnt orange' challenge.

And here he is making apple dumplings with Uncle Kim. Uncle Kim's shirt clashes a bit with the Bo Bunny papers. I managed to cover it in the far right photo, but not in the left photo. Did this layout for a 'red, orange, sage and white' challenge.

A couple one pagers

I scrapped this photo of Breanna posing in the hole that is now our new front entry. The base is about 6' below the floor level and there's a crawl hole smashed through the concrete to the storage area under our stairs. The kids want to make it into a secret club house. I doubt they'll be able to reach it once I've replaced all the Halloween and Christmas boxes as well as all the other junk we seem to store instead of tossing.

We took some photos of Breanna the first day she got her haircut. This was how the hairdresser styled it. We haven't been able to replicate the look but it's still pretty cute.

My first all digital layout

It's a slow day at work so I spent the morning playing around with Corel Paint Shop Pro and a free digital kit from Kaiser Craft


The journaling is about how the girls were so cold and were shivering and shaking when they came out of the water, but they were having so much fun floating the Moberly River rapids, they just kept running back up the banks and jumping in again.

We're having a September Colour Crop at www.scrapcentral.ca and my challenges are all based around yellow and brown colours.

Typical Smile

That's what Mum had jotted down in her notes on the back of this photo.


Unforgettable Memories bought in Mini Misters so I picked up a package of three and I've been making my own Glimmer Mists using Ink (reinkers), H2O and Perfect Pearls. This layout has purple Distress Ink made up and sprayed on white cardstock.

The siding is going up.

This is what I came home to last night.
The colour is Mountain Sage.
The lower part of our home will be covered with Rock. We may drive down through the Pine Pass and pick up some green rock off the side of the road (free but a lot of work) or we'll buy the manufactured stuff (expensive but easier to attach to the walls)

Finally got a day to scrap

I've had this idea in my head for a couple weeks, but haven't had the time to get it down on paper. I decided Saturday I was going to ignore the housework and scrap. I even pulled out the sewing machine for this page.
The papers are all My Mind's Eye ~ 'Penny Lane'. I just bought the Quickutz hedgehog die. I sprayed the cardstock before punching out his body, and inked the edges after punching.
