January Layouts & Cards

I have started to get back into scrapbooking. Here are the layouts and cards I have finished in the past few weeks. Most of them are for challenges at Studio Calico

Scrapdango October Sugar Reveal

My kit went on another trip this month, or got held up at the border. But I loved this kit so much I completed all my layouts the night that I received it.

Here are the layouts:

 And I managed to make a little mini of the kittens inspired by this one at the Crate Paper blog

Scrapdango September Spice Reveal

I have been trying to find a new blog template that I really liked, and now I have found one that I am happy with for now. I think I will keep the header and just change the backgrounds as the seasons change. I have also started a new blog about the kittens - Seamus and Rosie. Come check it out, there are only a few posts on it now, but soon I will have their whole story on there. They are very entertaining, so I thought it would be fun to share.

But anyways, without further ado, here is the main reason I am posting - The Scrapdango September Reveal.

I went with the Spice kit this month and I loved the mix of the Echo Park and Fancy Pants. Although I was skeptical at first, the Basic Grey Oxford stickers worked really well. Thanks Heather for putting together another great kit!

Scrapdango August Reveal

I got a lot more out of this kit that I expected! I am still working on one more project with it. But here is my reveal for Scrapdango.

Scrapdango May Reveal

This month I worked with Scrapdango's Sugar Kit. All of the Scrapdango reveals can be found here.
This kit was a lot of fun to work with, it was perfect for scrapbooking our new foster cat and kittens.
Without further ado...

 

This paper was perfect for a cat that likes to hide behind books on our bookshelf

 Our morning in Fort Langley last month.

 I loved the Bo Bunny packaging, so I used it on this card.

Here's what I have been up to....

This weekend has been very busy at my house and I have also been very busy outside the house.  It started on Friday with Steve and his brother Drew ripping all the baseboards off and the carpets out in the living room and master bedroom (We are getting laminate...yay!!)  The rest of the weekend they spent laying the laminate, and luckily did not kill each other.  I was also lucky enough to be out of the house most of the weekend creating some scrappy goodness.

My friend Katie and I took 2 classes at the BC Crop for Kids.  The first one and my favorite, was called "Charming Favorites" mini album.  The instructor was Cari Locken, designer for Canadian Scrapbooker.  She was an amazing teacher, and we had so much fun.  Here are some pics of my finished project.

The papers are from "Paper Trunk" and the embellishments are from "Steam Trunk Craft Works"
 
Katie and I also spent some time with Steve's mom, making Christmas cards.  I pre-cut all the patterned paper, and we managed to make 15 cards each in about 2 hours.  We had so much fun, and luckily we were at Steve's parents house, so we managed to stay out of the chaos at my house.

Here are some of the cards that I made.  I just love the new Jovial line from Basic Grey!  Also, the SRM stickers, made it so quick and easy!!

The living room floor is almost done now, and there is a thin layer of sawdust on everything, but it is looking so good!! 

 

Unfortunately because of Strata, we are only allowed to work on it between 10am-5pm on the weekends, and 8am-5pm on the weekdays.  So nothing will be getting finished until next weekend.  Until then, I am going to close myself in our computer/scrapbook room, and work on my Scrapdango DT application, and Scrapdango's ABCs of Cards.

TFL!!
