Scrap Fest 2011

Scrap Fest Was Amazing As Usual  ... Had a great time with my sister in law Gisele during scrap fest in Kitchener.  We learned amazing techniques and participated in a workshop "For the Love of Junk"!  Scrap Fest will be in Oshawa October 14th and 15th, 2011, so for those of you who love to create make sure you get tickets ... believe me you will not be disappointed!

I thought I would share some pictures of some of the completed projects I have done using some of the techniques and products that I purchased this year ... hope you enjoy!

Bakery Shop Birthday Card

Birthday Card For My Son

Today my son Chase turns 20!  Wow where does the time go!!!  I wanted to make something fun, masculine yet still something that tell's him he is still a little boy to me!  The inside of the card reads:

Happy 20th Birthday Chase

It seems like only yesterday

You'd say I love you Mommy

And wrap your arms around my neck

And seal it with a kiss

Those days are gone forever

Stored in my memories

I can only say... Those days I truly miss

My little boy has grown up

Into a wonderful young man

You truly are a blessing

Of who I am so very proud

Honesty, kindness and gentleness

To name just a few

With all these things

I think of you!

Happy Birthday Son ... I love you so!  Always your Mommy  xoxo

Display Table for Workshop's

This idea was shared through our Sudsol group, so I thought that I would give it a try and make a display table for my Work-Shop's and Card Class!  Thanks for all the great ideas... It will be a work in progress but not too bad for my first attempt!
