My Friday finale

Today is my final post as October afternoons guest Designer, it has been wonderful getting to create with some of my favorite products. Thank you to all of you who left comments I read every single one, you are awesome and it made every Friday just that much better. Today I have two new projects posted on the OA blog and then I have this fresh layout for you here. This is created mostly with their previous travel collection, On Board. 

There are a few bits and pieces from other collections that I felt were relevant to the subject, like the scissors from school house and the arrows from every sticker sheet I had in my collection:)

Don't forget about my give away, just leave a comment on THIS post to be entered

And don't forget to stop by the OA blog to see my other creations

To all my Canadian friends HAPPY CANADA DAY!

Have a great weekend

My Friday finale

Yeah it's Friday

There is no doubt that Friday is my favourite day of the week, I think it is most peoples, but this month is extra special because every Friday is my day on the October Afternoon blog. This week I am sharing 3 different layouts that are all inspired by one another. Here is a little sneaky peak, and you can check out the whole thing HERE on  October Afternoon's blog.

Also today is the release of the brand new summer edition of Scrapbooks and Cards today.

Be sure to check it out HERE and see if you can spot my layout in it's pages. I am so thrilled to be a part of this publication. I've been told it is the best one yet :)

Don't forget about my give away, just scroll down a post and leave a comment for a chance to win.

TTFN :)

My first post with October Afternoon

If you are a new friend stopping by from the October Afternoon Blog, WELCOME!! If you are already a friend you know how much I love their stuff.  I am so thrilled to be designing for them this month. Today is my first post on their blog and I created a collection of cards using the brand new Travel girl collection. You can check in out here. I also had a birthday to go to this weekend for a sweet little 1 year old farm boy and so I thought that I would create this little card with the Sasparilla collection.

There is no doubt that one of my favourite OA embellishments are the word stickers, all by themselves they are the little rock stars. Use one or use ten.

They are a fabulous and inexpensive embellishment.

 October Afternoon was so generous, {and since my collection is a little out of hand} I would like to share the love with a give away.

Just leave a comment on this blog post and I will enter your name into a draw for these brand new Travel girl Stamps.

and just because they go so well together I am also going to include 3 brand new sets of spectrum noir alcohol markers.

I will choose a winner on the last Friday of June.

Thanks for stopping by

Hopefully we will see you next Friday

TTFN :)

My first post with October Afternoon

The Day has arrived

Today is the day that I have been looking forward to for months. Today is my introduction as October Afternoons June Guest designer. I am so so so so thrilled, words can not describe. Here is a tiny sneaky peak of what is to come.

October Afternoon has been my favorite pattern paper company since they started. So just for fun I went back into my scrapbooking archieves and found these oldies from some of there first collections.

These first 2 are using the night light collection, this was one of the very first collection that I ever bought more than one sheet of.

Mix of weather vane and cherry hill

and these two are from road trip

as you can see I have been a huge fan for a long time.

Check in all month long in June for lots of projects and a great give away ;)

The Day has arrived

Inside the cover

If you happen to pick up a copy of the spring issue of Canadian scrapbooker you will see this layout within the first few pages, as another take on the cover. If you take a close look you will see that it is almost ALL Core'dinations, the only piece of pattern paper is at the top. The layers of mauve are created with Core Vintage Cardstock that has been embossed and sanded, and then topped with the sewn chevron layer. I really love the effect.  

Just Sharing, Thanks

Do you like it?

Oh do you like it? The fresh new look of my blog, it was a wonderful spring surprise from my incredibly talented friend and designer, Day. She has custom designed almost all of my blog headers. She knows me so well, she did them to totally suit my style. I requested that they remain some what similar and just change a little for the seasons.

This was the first

This one was for fall 

This one was for Christmas

This one was for Spring

and yesterday she surprised me with the stunning new one you see now. I love it!

I am so lucky to have such a wonderful friend, she totally made my day.

Trail Blazing

I love going through my photo's, flipping through my scrapbooks or scrolling through the pictures on my computer. It has the ability to lift my spirits and remind me of  how truly blessed I am. Most of my photos focus on the good times so it is like looking at the fairy tale version of my life. Yesterday I came across this wonderfully exuberant photo of my little man. It practically screamed scrap me.

I used a mix of October Afternoons  Happy Camper and 9 to 5 collections.

Also another beautiful button from Greatest View, I love her simple graphic flairs, {she's having a give away right now, if you feel like popping by ;) }

I used some beautiful colors of Core'dinations to add that embossed touch. I thought it kinda looked like chicken wire, yeah I know they're hexagons, but chicken wire was what I was going for. LOL!

Enjoy your moment's

TTFN :)
