Right Some Good!

Right Some Good is a food experience like no other. An evening filed with fine dining created by local and far away chefs. Their creative dishes are designed around our local foods and beverages with a twist of "come-from-away" flare.

My little bother, Jason, was honoured to be one of the local chefs for this event.

Chef Rich Francis, Chef Tommy Klauber, Chef Dennis McIntosh and

Chef Jason Sampson (AKA...little bro)

I started this lay-out a while back and I'm sure I used one of Karan Gerber Sketchablities but can not remember which one.

Tim Holtz Tags 2016- January

Haven't followed the tag train in a few years but during a girls crafting session on Jan 2, I decided to jump aboard and make January's tag as my first 2016 project. Thanks Tim for always inspiring!

Had to alter a tad from the original but that's OK and it's what makes the monthly challenge so much fun.

Get Your Happy On!

I seen this photo on facebook and I knew I had to do something with is as it is the picture of the inner me! You know, that person on the inside that is dying to get out.....well this is me :)

Inspired by Creative Scrapbooker's " Sketchy Challenge" for January. As well as Heartfelt Creations flower dies and Stamps.

Products used: Theresa Collins Spring Fling collection, Time Holtz Kraft Core Nostalgic Collection, Tim Holtz Distress Inks, Heartfelt Creations Sun Kissed Stamps and Dies, Stampendous Frantage Aged Hunter Embossing Powder, Creative Embellishments Chipboard.

Gift Cards Boring??? I say not!

Sometimes the best gift is either money or a gift card, but this seems so boring...nothing to unwrap. Well not any more!!

Using the Fuse It Tool and the 4x6 Pockets from We R Memory Keepers, you can create shake it surprises for those favourite people on your Christmas List.

 It all started with the Tim Holtz Crazy Bird Stamps, Dies and Accessories Stamp and Dies.  I colored these little bad boys/girls in, cut them out.

Then I pasted them on the top of the photo sleeves, stuffed them with either the Gift Card or Money and added sequins, other loose embellishments and fused them together. I then added an eyelet and string so they can be hung on the tree.

 Please support your LSS this holiday season!

Winter Wonderland

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...at least where I live! Drive 10mins away and it's spring again.

Each scene is lit up at night is gives me the feeling of days gone by.

We tried to use all nature products this year and was even able to include a few made by my dad.

Christmas Card Series: Card Six

This is the last blog post in this series featuring Carta Bella's Winter Wonderland Collection. (Card 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 in previous post)

I also used a variety of die cuts from thin wafer dies, added a lot of stitching and a variety of texture elements such as UTEE, hemp and cheese cloth.

I love the thickness of their paper and the colors are amazing. Hope these samples inspire you to create!
