T'was the Night Before Christmas Stampin UP! Event
Save Saturday October 24th for this fabulous event that will be held at CKCS! There will be 10 fabulous projects where you will learn new techniques, play with new products from our Idea book and mini catalogue, get a jump start on your Christmas cards and just have a day away.
We are sooooo excited about this event for so many reasons!!! We all love having a room filled with ladies laughing, listening to Christmas music and stamping!!! Also, this event is supporting the CKCS-Kids Christmas Project. What is this you ask…CKCS and Goodfellows team up every year to ensure that children/teens/parents of Chatham-Kent have something to put under the tree for Christmas.
That being said we will have lots of door prizes and we ask that if you bring a small toy or gift for a child/teen/parent that you will earn 2 extra ballots to be added to the door prize draw. Another way to earn extra ballots would be to get yourself and 5 friends together to book an entire table for our event.
Event size: 60 lovely ladies (these spots will fill up FAST so you’ll want to register early!!!)
Registration deadline is Monday October 12th, 2009 and tickets are $65/person.
To see the projects follow this photobucket link to view what all of the ladies have created for you: T'was the Night Before Christmas Project album. Check out all of the awesome creations.
What will you get!!!!!

*Meet 10 creative demonstrators.

A bit about my layout.....I created this layout with a favorite song of mine in mind...Apple of your Daddy's eye by Peter Cetera. I loved the lyrics and they so fit with my husband and eldest son Jacob's relationship that's why I added the title as my page title and included the lyrics as journalling on my page. Give it a try and use your favorite song on your next layout!!!!
Thanks for looking!!!!

Just a few projects to post before the day gets away.
So while I was playing with birds I decided that I wanted to ink up my Trendy Trees stamp set and use an untraditional colour combination; Pacific Point, Real Red, Summer Sun, black and white. I used the Cheep Talk Designer paper and pulled out my mat and template for piercing perfect holes. I had fun making this card.

A few card samples.........
Well I went to Younique Country retreat in Guelph in April and then went to the Mega Meet in Novi in May. I have picked up some new yummy product but just need the time to play.
I have had a chance to make some cards, work on a make and take for a fundraiser crop and organize my scrap space a bit.
Here are a few cards....let me know what you think!!!
Don't you just love the Ketto stamps from Stamping Bella??? I picked them up at the Paper Pickle in Chatham as well as the Urban Prairie Paper from Basic Grey. These stamps are darling and you should go into the store to see them all......I am sure you will want them ALL too!!!
Same image but just tweaked a bit....a different mat and embellies.
This card I created for a SWAP at the Paper Passion. It was 5 People 5 Product swap. The host sent 5 of us envies that had 5 products in them and we had to make a creation using the product. This is what I came up with using stamps from All that Scraps.

Celebrating the loves of my life.....
I just wanted to take the time to thank God for all of my blessings. I am so lucky to have the love that I share with my husband. We have been together for 8 years married plus 10 years dating. I appreciate the wonderful husband he is and the father he is to our children. We are trying to make the best life we can TOGETHER.
I am also very lucky to have the unconditional love of my two sweet sons. I love them more that life itself.
Kiss someone you love today!!!!!
