Happy New Year

By my clock it is 12:52. 2009 has been here for 52 minutes already. We had super friends over for supper, games and refreshments. We had a great time. It is the first New Years Eve we have celebrated in years. Usually we are so sick with colds or the flu or the kids are so sick that we miss the New Years arrival.
What do I want 2009 to be like? I haven't really decided yet. 2008 wasn't a bad year for us. We were stretched a little and grew a lot, but isn't every year a little like that? 2008 was filled with friends and laughter,celebrations and get-togethers. We saw some friends get married, others had babies and sadly we lost some friends along the way too.
I look back on the year that passed and think that it was a pretty good year maybe not as good as some but better than others, can't that be true for most years?
I don't know what 2009 will bring but I am sure looking forward to the ride. It is never boring and it's always kind of exciting to see what is waiting for us just around the next corner.

Happy New Years Everyone!!!

I love the picture of Kayne just enjoying the day. I knew I didn't want this layout to have a "little boy" feel to it but I didn't know what direction to go either. I definitely don't mind stepping out of my comfort zone so I tried some of Wilna's paint it mentality. I am not sure yet if I like the layout but I don't hate the results so I guess that is good. I will try painting again on future layouts as I did have fun creating this one. The chipboard letters have crackle paint,perfect pearls ink and glossy accents.

The Fall Issue of Canadian Scrapbooker is out!!!! It's on the shelves....run don't walk to get your copy.  I am so excited to be featured  in the Passport to Creativity!!! What an honour.I freaked to put it mildly when I opened that email. :) :)  These are the 3 LO's that I created for the issue. I stressed over my Bio and felt a little "nerdy" answering my interview questions, but when it's all said and done I am very proud of how it all looks and reads. I want to send a big SHOUT OUT to my friend Karen of KMP Photography for doing my head shots and scraproom photos too. Bird Call was created with Bo Bunny and some vintage goodies. I used my hole punch distress technique to finish it off. I wish I could Freeze Time consists of Graphic 45 and some yummy Tim Holz items. Toes is my last page. It has Basic Grey and my all time favorite photo of 2009. Now who else was is this magazine????? How about checking out my friend Kate ...she was featured in Pas...
