Exciting news!

Someone you know will be in the summer issue of Canadian Scrapbook magazine! I'm so excited! I got home late last night from a lab in Calgary, and I had that fantastic bit of news waiting for me in my email. I posted the layout on the blog before, it was of when I went to Calgary in November for an optical convention, do you remember it? It was the view from my hotel room. Well, I can't show it to you now, one of the stipualtions is that I have to remove it until after the publication. I promise, though, when I can, I will repost it for you.

Anyways, it sure feels like spring is coming, doesn't it? Like I mentioned, I was in Calgary all day yesterday for a lab, so I can't get out today to take photos, but I sure do want to! So I figured I'd show you a few more from last weekend.The view from the top of the steep stairs that I climbed. My legs are still a little weak after that hike, I'm not as young as I used to be, lol!And this one is from my walk into the woods. It is another one of my favorites from that day.And this one is a little more abstract, I suppose. It's just the weeds up againest the cement base of the bridge. I like how it's all cracked-looking.

And the deer... I wasn't able to get terribly close to them, they watched where I was at all times. I was pretty excited when I stumbled across them though.

So, I'm hoping to catch the men's hockey game (go Canada go!) and the closing ceremony for the Olympics in between 30 loads of laundry. Time to get groceries again, too. lol, The work never ends, does it? But I'll be doing some scrapping in the meantime. I just have to decide what photos I want to print off... I can't afford ALL 430, and besides, I don't know what I'd DO with all 430 from last weekend. I need to have room to take more photos...

Take care! ~RonniH.

A quick post...

So I have to get ready for work soon, but I thought I'd show you a quick and simple layout I did the other day. I love this patterened paper!!
Can you tell what I did the title on?? It's metal duct tape! I cut letters out with my sizzix out of double sided tape paper, and added glitter, and stuck them right onto the duct tape. It's shiney and silvery, just like the fab winged skulls. I wrote the journalling right onto the tape with a sharpie marker. I had some see-through hearts of Heidi Swapps that I added with blinged out brads. I have a corner punch that I used on the duct tape to make photo corners, and ta-da! Done!

Anyone else have the song Rockstar by Nickleback stuck in their heads now this morning too??

K, I'm off to get dressed to face the day, have a good one!

another sneaky peaky

Hope you had a great weekend! I am still trying to recoup from all the awesome classes we took and all the new product we saw.

Canadian Scrapbooker has just arrived! come stop by & pick up yours today!
Plus we also have another great addition... we will be carrying Scrapbook Trends (Scrapbooks, Cards, these come every month & the Create series will come every other month.) I absolutely love these idea books, so amazing.

New adventures...

So I was able to make it down to the park to take photos of the bridge on Sunday. It was something I'd been wanting to do for ages and ages. And I took way too many photos. Like, seriously, 430. Yes, 430, but I did that over a couple of hours.

This one here is probably my favorite of the bridge. Most of the photos I took that day were of the bridge, but this one, it's the most interesting. I got right down low, and just snapped. I love it.And these stairs are steeper in real life too. My calves were aching Monday morning. Granted I kinda jogged up and then back down, because I forget I'm not as young as I used to be. The scene from up top was worth the frost bite on my cheeks from the wind. :)And another favorite of mine from the day. I've got "art settings" on my camera, and it leaves a pinhole effect, that is, a dark edge around the photo. Makes it look artsy instead of just another photo of weeds.This one is a favorite, cause it's the opposite of the last one, lol. It's bright. It's shiney. And do you see this?? Burrs on my gloves!! I'd pull 'em off with one hand, and SURPRISE! they'd stick to the other hand! The lengths I go to, to have a good time, sheesh! lol

Ok, so I gotta go get ready for work, I hope you all are enjoying my photos! Any questions or comments, please feel free to leave 'em and we'll do our best to answer!

Challenge day!!!!

Hey everyone how was your weekend? i had a good one i love working in the store and dont get to very often anymore. I find myself so relaxed when im there, then again who wouldnt? surrounded by beautiful papers and embellishments and bling..yummmmmmy!!!

So your challenge this week is to do a multi- photo Layout. In this LO i used 15 photos, I cropped them to all fit on my page and mounted them on an angle to get a little more room on the paper.

I cant wait to hear about the gurls trip to Edmonton this weekend!!! They went to convention, I so wish I could of gone. I cant wait to see the projects they made, hear all the stories, and find out what new and wonderful product we have coming!!! YUMMMMMMMY!!!
