AMAZING crop!!!

I'm still on a scrapbooking high!  Crop and Create was even more fun than I anticipated.  The amount of talent, inspiration and positive energy in the room was insane and that was not even counting the organizers and manufacturers and stores that were onsite to teach and enable us.  We laughed, we cried and then we laughed again all while getting to know new friends and catching up with old one.  I will definitely be returning next year!  Thanks you Scrapbook and Cards Today!!!

Want to see what I accomplished over the weekend?  Well here you are!

Here are some of the make and takes we made over the weekend

And here are some of the layouts I made :

 This one was for an alpha challenge :  notice the flourish on the bottom right had corner?  They are "f" s and commas!!  I also used dots from another alpha set on the banner

  this one was for a Colour suite challenge :

And this one was for a sketch challenge :

I have more that need to me completed - all the layouts I made during the classes.  I'll post thoses later this week.

Have a great day! 

Crop and Create!

I'm so excited!!  In a couple of days I'll be at Crop and Create Moncton, an event brought to us by Scrapbooking and cards today!  I've been a fan of the ladies I'm going to be taking classes with.  It's going to be a thrill to see them in person!

I've survived another challenge in LCOM's scrappin' with the stars - We are now in week 6, our new challenge will be revealed tomorrow.  Another project to work on at the crop!
For week 5, we were asked to make a layout using at least 3 different manufacterers, using green, there had to be a border around the layout.  Here is my week 5 layout :

For the other layout I created this week, it was a scrapcapture challenge again on the LCOM forum.  Thanks Kristine Davidson for an awesome layout that inspired me!

Hopefully I'll have tons of layout to showcase next week!  Have a great weekend everyone!!!

plateau

I've hit a plateau on my weight loss journey.  I seem to be at the same point as where I was in mid January, gaining and losing the same pounds is seems.  It's time to shift gears and motivate myself to lose the last 12 pounds I want to lose to reach my weight goal.  I'm giving myself until my birthday in June and as a reward, I'm going on a shopping spree.  So here's my plan : excercise and stick to the meal plan for the next weeks!  So there I said it, you heard me.  Now that I have it in writing, it makes it official.  Now who's coming shopping with me??

In the meantime, here's some more layout I did recently.  hope you like them!

Another productive crop

Thanks again to Kristine Davidson for hosting another amazing crop!  I don't remember when I laughed so much!  I also appreciate being able to share the weekend with my Mom.  On Friday, before we left, my daughter was sad that Mémére was leaving with me and she could not spend more time with her.  I explained to her that it was my turn to spend time with Mémére and my daughter looked at me and said you're right.  I love them so much!

Here are some of the layouts I created over the weekend :
