Here comes Peter Cottontail....

Well, maybe not the real Peter Cottontail, but Easter is around the corner really soon!  Over at Paper Therapy, the DT, came up with a really cool challenge.  You needed to make a card that has some relevance to Easter, baskets, bunnies or just whatever.  I chose the concept of a basket being a weaved image and did this.....

So now what you need to do is head on over to http://www.papertherapy.yuku.com/ and sign up to become a member.  Take your imagination to the max and create something to possibly win a prize!?!?  Hope to see you there!

Skittles anyone?

If you're a sweet tooth then Skittles are just the way to go!!!  There was a challenge over at Paper Therapy (where I am a PROUD Design Team member) and I wanted to take part in the challenge.  The challenge was to find something to "dress up".  I'm also a fan of Epicure and had this empty jar and since I love Skittles, I thought it would be neat to dress up the jar and put some Skittles in it that I bought!  It's an indulgence that I go for just once in a while.  Here is the before picture.....

And here is the "dressed up" version shown with some yummy Skittles and a birthday card.  These are great inexpensive ideas to give to friends, family, teacher.....just whoever.  You can personalize what you put in them so that whoever is getting it will have a sample of their yummy candy in it.



Make sure to come over and join Paper Therapy and take part in the fun, learn new ideas and maybe win a prize!  The website is http://www.papertherapy.yuku.com/ .  You have to apply to join but will in no time flat get approved then you are welcomed to come on in and meet some awesome ladies and try your turn at some great challenges!  Hope to see you there!

Second Time is a Charm

Okay, now I can make it official.  I've been hiding this secret for a couple of weeks and now it's official.  Back in the fall time, I took my chances at applying for becoming a Design Team member on a couple of scrapbook sites.  I was unsuccessful at that time but did come along a really great scrapbook site called PaperTherapy.  The website is http://www.papertherapy.yuku.com/ .  I did not make that team the first time but joined in the forum and met a lot of really talented and awesome ladies!  Since I LOVE challenges, this site had weekly challenges.  It has a lot of inspiration for cards and that has also helped me with my card collection (which is very near the 600-700 cards). 

Just a couple of weeks ago, I was asked if I'd join their Design Team and was thrilled beyond belief!!!!  Of course, I accepted in a heartbeat!!! 

So now it's official.....I'm a member of the PaperTherapy Design Team.  I truly hope that you will join me and come and be apart of this team.  I will be posting their challenges here too as they come up but the best part is just coming on over to this site and becoming a member and playing along.  I know that you will be inspired and enjoy the girls and the challenges and friendship.  Come on over !!!!

Lady Gaga....

....is amazing!  You've just got to watch this video!  I've just cried my eyes out!!!  I do tend to cry easily but this wasn't just a whimper cry....it was big alligator tears!!!  I usually listen to music alot, whether I'm scrapbooking, cleaning house, driving my vehicle or even going for my walks.  But I tell you, this is the ultimate song for everyone...humanity!!!!  Maybe the people who are fighting and creating wars should listen to this song!!!!

I don't have enough words to express this song....just listen to it and see the performance!  We are all beautiful and we are born this way!  Here is the link:

Where has time gone???

I can't believe how the time has gone.  It's been a whole month since I was here posting....bad, bad, Rasia!!!  lol.  Anyway, what is new??? Well, I have been scrapbooking and enjoying some time snowmobiling.  My sister in law and her family were out at the end of January to celebrate her youngest and my husband's birthday.  We all had a great time and I know that my hubby was especially touched when he got tickets to go and see Katy Perry in concert on July 14th!  I then just this week won tickets to see Rhianna on June 18th!  Both in Winnipeg.  I surprise my little sister in asking her to come.....my husband didn't want to go so she was so touched and excited. 

I thought that I would post 2 of a few layouts that I've done this month for you.  I'm still working on my Bon Jovi photos (so many to pick!!!???).  As well I've done one that I'm hoping will be the winner on a scrapbook site to be their Guest designer for March!  Hopefully today I'll find out!  Here are my 2 layouts!

Want to win $100????

It's a New Year.....

Wow, 2011 is finally here!  I hope that 2011 will be even a bigger and better year for myself and for each and every one of you.  I began the year off to a slow start with scrapbooking but finally have found time to do some challenges.  This layout was a challenge from 3scrappyboys.com .  All that it had asked was to take a photo from your stash and scrap it.  I've been working on layouts to make albums for my sister's 3 boys (one more on the way any minute!!!)!  This layout is of her eldest son and my first nephew Braeden when he was born.  The black piece at the top of the layout is a picture of the ultrasound.  My hopes is that I can create albums for them to cherish when they get older.  Here is the first of my eldest nephews album....

Go out and challenge yourself in getting some "older" photos scrapbooked!  Have fun!
