USA w-end and some much needed rest!

Since last Thursday I'm battling a COLD.... yes you read correctly a COLD!!! This is completely horrible to have during summer. I took off work Thursday and Friday I just felt so dizzy and exhausted.... and just slept all day.

Saturday we went to the Syracuse "area" with Laurie and Denis. Again I tried my best to not talk to much, but just wasn't able! My voice today is a tad better but I am still congested and coughing. These are the yummy thing I got in our different stops that we made:We B' Scrappin' AMAZING store if your looking to find one in that area, Target, Joann Superstore (all scrapbooking 40%), A.C. Moore and Michaels! Thanks Stephane for the lovely treats!!! XX

Sunday was simple: sleeping until 11, surfing the net, watching 24, taking a nap and scrapbooking!

Tonight I'm finishing my 2 page layout class for September 18 and if you like yellow's and lime's this is the class for you! Photo's will be posted tomorrow!

Enjoy your week!

Make sure that if you wish to join to give a call to Jenn and reserve your spot! I think it's half sold out!
Have a great w-end!

**** Edited: The class on the 5th is sold out and now we decided to open a new night on the 25th. It is 3/4 sold out!!! Make sure to call the store if you wish to join us making this amazing mini! ****

Such pretty girls now transformed to Two best friends!

Happy Wednesday!

Here's a page I did Monday night but redid the title last night before dropping it at the Scrapbox. Jenn asked me to do a page with this paper line by My Mind's Eye... she may order it... we will see! Well I jazzed it up with some Crystal Lacquer... my new favorite thing to do! It's the perfect touch for any papers and I just added it to all the die cut flowers! I had a small title (see last image) and it was just lost with all the bling. So I added an additional strip of paper to cover it and added glittered Thickers instead and it balance more the page now with the black accents. Ohhhhh and Katie I was so inspired with your "paper ruffles" so I did one too on my page! Thanks

Later today or early tomorrow I will post pics of the Making Memories "Passport" tag album that I will be teaching on September the 5th at the Scrapbox. All ready 6 names since last Saturday ( the ladies taking my class got a preview!) So make sure if you are interested to call Jenn and sign up!

Canadian Scrapbooker magazine - December 2008!

I decided to work on being published a few months ago (big dream since I started scrapbooking) and this morning in my inbox I had a email from Canadian Scrapbooker requesting my layout!!!!! My first time being published!!!! I am so happy..... *** insert here: jumping up and down***!!!! They needed layouts with a "postage theme" and I sent one that I just recently did in April. I will be able to share with you in December which one it is, because it was removed this morning from my gallery and my blog post.

Thanks to all my supporters that were pushing me to send my work Katie, Rach, Mellisa, Tanya, Barb, Jenn, Pattie and so many others!

Have a happy WEDNESDAY!!!!

A few American Crafts pages

A few pages with tones of American Crafts products! "Simpler lines" that I'm use to do but it goes with the product and the company trend!

I had a great w-end, lots of rain at the Nascar Race in MTL! Then went to see Batman, what a great movie!!! Sunday was relax: Enjoyed the pool and corn on the cob! Monday we went to pick up my parents at the airport; they had a lovely trip in Europe visiting my sister! And hop we drove back home to enjoy a few episodes of 24, season 5!

Enjoy your week, a busy one for me... 2 classes @ the Scrapbox this week!
