I am so excited! My friend Deanna, took some pictures for us, and I finally got to see them!! You can find her website: here

Here are a few of my fav's!






I could still choose so much more! Oh boy! I can't wait to scrap these! THANKS DEANNA!!!

Lots to share... COLOR ME DAISY, SIMPLY OBSESSED, SASSY SCRAPPERS & THE SCRAPPIEST!

Yes... I admit, I have been a terrible blogger this week! It was such a busy week, with friends visiting from Chicago, my husband was gone 3x's this week at night, and I was out the other two nights... I've had a headache, practically all weekend... so this is why everything is getting posted a little late... so sit back, and enjoy all the reveals!

COLOR ME DAISY... I finally got to reveal more of my creations this past week with the amazing MLYB & DREAM STREET LINES!! Oh my goodness I love all the embellies too... from the Maya Road trim and enevlopes to the rub-ons... Here is what I created:


And my two cards:



I still have TONS left over from this kit, and I hope to do some more playing with it this week with some photos I took!


I also got to do my reveal this week at SIMPLY OBSESSED! I LOVED playing with the Pink Paislee Amber Road Collection! Here is a peek at the kit:
The flowers were AMAZING... and those buttons that Heather created were stunning... I used every piece of my kit!!! I loved the letters in this kit!!! Here is what I created:






I still have one more Layout to share with you... but you will have to wait until I post if for the challenge later this month!

Today is also reveal day at the SCRAPPIEST... I whipped this layout together in 20 minutes... I know a new record for me... but it was easy with this sketch, and with the sassafras paper! Here is the sketch:



And here is what I came up with:

Don't forget the prize! At the end of the month a random drawing for the prize this month from our sponsor: JENN"S HOUSE OF SCRAP! Be sure to check out all of the other design team members creations!!!

SASSY SCRAPPERS...

I got to play around with more NIKKI SIVILS, SCRAPBOOKER products!! Here is what I created with her new Christmas line NORTH POLE LIGHTS!



I love how this banner turned out... I wish I could have gotten a better picture... oh well!


here is a card from her Victoria Street Line:


CONTEST TOO from NIKKI SIVILS:

Nikki has started an "All About Me" challenge with all of us design team diva's! The design team are given a challenge per month, that we can answer in a layout... and in one year we will ave 12 pages about who we are!!! Well this month she has decided to bring everyone into the challenge also! You answer my question in a layout (any size) and email it to nikki@nikkisivils.com and in the subject line write: "AAM Blog Challenge!" you must use some of my products on your layout, I prefer you use my Christmas paper line "North Pole Nights" but you don't have to as long as you use some of my products on your layout. In return she is going to pick one layout to win her North Pole Nights Christmas mini album kit! She will also put your layout on her blog and a link to your blog!
Here is the "All About Me" question: What was Christmas like for you as a kid? (If you don't celebrate Christmas, then pick a holiday you do celebrate and use that in place of Christmas!) This challenge ends November 20th, so hurry and get your layout finished and sent in to me!! I'll post the winner by the 24th of November or sooner.

My mini from NIKKI SIVILS, SCRAPBOOKER!

As soon as I got the chipboard album of the cute little trees... I KNEW I wanted to make a spring album with all the bright colours from MY SWEET CHERRY PIE LINE... who could resist!!! I love this line by Nikki Sivils, Scrapbooker!

So here is what I did:

I called it "spring favs"... and decided to have all my favorite pictures or outings for the spring int he album.


The first page is of Jordan visiting the bunnies at Easter time. The next page was Joshua holding up his mother's day present for me!
This was such a fun day! We went to Port Dalhousie, played on the beach and amongst the trees! The next page was a picture of Jordan right before her very first (EVER) dance recital!!!


We also went to the annual rose parade here in Welland... and my SON LOVED being able to play outdoors any time he wanted! Gotta LOVE spring!!!
