Proud Mommy Moment

I have been sending pictures into ctmh for their catalogs since I became a consultant 4 years ago.  I finally got one published in the 2011 spring/summer book.  It was really funny because I was flipping through it online and passed by and thought wait a minute I know those kids and flipped right back.  My DH was laughing at me because I was so excited and then asked if I was going to scrapbook the scrapbook catalog...of course I am tee hee!  Anyways here are Briana and Henry aka Katelyn (my niece) and William (my ds).  This pic was taken in 2007 in October for our annual fall pictures and is one of many that I love from that trip!

Casa Loma

Okay so this one doesn't count for the layout challenge since I did it last year but it was one of my favorites so I thought I would share.  It took us an hour to get to Casa Loma in Toronto that day due to all the construction.  My Dh was so frustrated that I didn't think he was going to let us go in.  We had more bad milk at lunch in the restaurant there (still not sure how people in Ontario get to have milk...it was always sour when we bought it) but after all the trauma we had a great time looking around and got some great pics of the kids.  It ended up being a fun day :)

Layout uses all ctmh...Emporium, Colour Ready Alpha, Love Rub Ons and Pewter Brads.  Thanks for looking!

Layouts 1 & 2

Layout #1 is all ctmh product.  I'm trying to use up some old product and Stardust works so well with the kids soccer pics...I did 2010's pics in it as well.  2009 will be a challenge to do something new :)  Better use it all up before then so I'm not tempted!!!

Layout#2 is all Bo Bunny product.  We were camping in Edmonton in 2009 with my in-laws.  It's always so much fun and the kids love it!

Time to get challenged!

First of all Happy New Year!  2010 was a really amazing year for me and my family and I am sad to see it go!  My husband I were truly blessed to be able to both be at home for the full year with our 3rd child, me on maternity leave and him working only part time.  What a great time for our family..now with Christmas done and the kids back in school and myself back at work :( we have settled into a new routine.   Time to start getting some crafting back into that routine.  My fellow ctmh sister Rosalynd Kelly at http://www.inmyscrappinroom.blogspot.com/ is part of a layout challenge that I have request to take part in.  I am challenging myself to do 52 layouts in the next year.  So in honour of that challenge I am posting one of the layouts Roz completed for our funky swap #2 (round #3 is coming up fast).  Wish me luck and thanks for stopping by!

My Beautiful Boys...

I have been learning to take my own photos at home instead of paying through the roof at a studio.  This years Christmas pictures are my favorite to date. 

Snowman Christmas Card

This is one of the cards I offered at my Christmas Card Workshop...I love these snowmen!!!!  All products used are CTMH!

Vicki Wizniuk's 9x9 Album...More to Adore Baby's 1st Birthday Memory Book

I found a great card from Hallmark that was designed like a memory book for a child's first birthday and I thought I could do that.  I had a 9x9 accordian album and a fantastic template and cutting guide from the wonderful Vicki Wizniuk and my niece's project was started.   I'm not 100% sure the french is right but all of my husbands family is french speaking so I wanting to honour that as much as I could.  I would love to hear what you think!
