~ almost done ~

Hi!

I'm super excited about the baby book project I'm working on.

It's almost done & I think it looks great.

I've also been working on a few things...

a friend's invitations,

my address book,

my portugal 2009 scrapbook,

my new photo gallery for the website &

way too much more. :)

I feel like I've been spinning and I'm not sure when I'm going to stop. Good thing I don't want to just yet! I'll let you know when I crash! :)

So I'll leave with these fabulous photos I took of my little lulu as we played and walked in the snow!

Happy scrappin' & keep warm!

~ a baptism card ~

the title is more like a sigh...

That's all I've had the chance to do in a little while, what with creating and marking exams at school and lulu going through major injuries in the past few weeks. {no worries though... she a tough nut & she's 2... she'll be fine!}

I hope to get things up & running next week, but until then here's the cute little card I made... on the fly... for a baptism this past Sunday!

Happy scrappin' everyone!

so much fun!

Last night, my cousin came over to scrapbook with me. As a newbie to scrapbooking, I loved her enthusiasm for trying something new and it was just what I needed to get me going on my scrapbook of our trip to Portugal this past summer!

We both started with choosing an album to fit our ideas & pictures we had. I obviously went with summer inspired album, whereas my cousing, went with something classic for her album. I also went over some basic tools of the trade such as papercutter, adhesive, paper types & journalling. As her eyes grew bigger from info overload, I calmed my excitement and started skethcing the title page layout.

I can't seem to post my sketch, but here's the final product...

portugal 2009

{I love the patterened paper I chose & the tiles (dollarama) are so very portugal & summery}

{I also loved how the year stamped out beautifully!}

I'll post my cousin's layout next time, as I forgot to take photos of it. oops! :)

I'm super excited about this project for several reasons, I'll get to scrapbook for me on a more regular basis, I'll be scrapbooking with someone who is just as excited about this as I am, I'll get to play with everything in my stash just so that I can show her how to play and have fun with scrapbooking, AND you'll all get to see some great layouts as we continue to scrapbook together. Yippee!

Happy Scrappin',

Cindy

Happy 2010!

2010... here I come!

A new year is to come & I hope to start it off right.
I'm in a new home, new school, and new frame of mind.
I've taken a little time to take a step back and find out what really matters to me, and thank goodness!

So here's to starting fresh and doing what I need to do to make my life full & happy.
Of course scrapbooking is part of that! :)

talk to you later,
Cindy
