I just finished this little coaster book for an upcoming class at Precious Memories

This was a lot of fun to make! That is one of my nieces that is featured in the book.

These canvases are so cool! I finished 2 more - I did one for both Zoey and Angus. Those are their real paw prints on there - yeah that was fun trying to stamp their paws in finger paint and then onto the canvas! Lol!

Well, here is my first attempt at a canvas - it did not turn out like I anticipated but I am working on a second one that will hopefully turn out a lot better! These canvas transfer kits are really cool though - the instructions are easy to follow and everything you need comes in the kit. www.tilanofresco.com

Here is a little exploding accordion book I made a couple weeks ago - it was finicky to make so I won’t be rushing to make any more of these anytime soon.

Dogs in Motion! A cute pic of Angus and Zoey on our walk to the “barracks” the other day. They found an enormous puddle/ mini lake - that they had to run through.

All the projects below are classes I will be teaching at Precious Memories in Langley in April. Precious Memories

More photos for each of the mini albums (all the inside pages) can be seen in my gallery as well as on my 2007 accomplishments page

I created a new layout a couple days ago about my 4 year old niece. It’s hard cause my sister and her family live across the country from us so I don’t get to see them very often - and every time I do see them the changes in her kids are so huge! Madeleine will be 5 in June and Hannah just turned 2. They are the only nieces I have in the world and I feel like I miss so much of them growing up.

This is the layout I did about Madeleine. I did ALOT of doodling on it!!

I had a dream about this kiddo last night - in it I remember sitting with her and we were going through a whole bunch of really old photos! It seemed so real and when I woke up, I was missing her a lot.

The last 4 days or so have been very blah days - I had some sort of stomach bug since we returned home Monday and it got significantly worse by Wednesday. I spent the better part of the week lying on the couch with my laptop. The only good thing about that was I was able to catch up on both the SG forums and the latest 3 episodes of Desperate Housewives that I had on the PVR! Multi-tasking - working on the computer and watching tv while still resting - lol!

Last night I finally dragged myself upstairs to my scrap room to get some actual scrapping done - I really wanted to participate in the online crop that is going on at Scrap Galaxy this weekend. Deanne and Carla have put a ton of work into it and so far it’s a huge hit! Way to go girls!! If you haven’t already checked it out - have a look: Online Crop

I did manage to get one layout done for Challenge #6 of the crop. It is the first layout that I have done just about myself.

Then of course, I got sidetracked and wound up making an entire coaster mini album (which has nothing to do with the crop). It’s more of a Valentine’s gift album for Brent. I made it using the coasters we got last weekend at Outback Steakhouse - hehe. (I knew they would come in handy!)

I also scanned the individual pages before I punched holes in them. They can be seen in my Gallery at SG: My Gallery

One more thing: Lisa and I are having our own competition this weekend to see who can get more scrapping done. So far I think she is in the lead but I intend to stay up late tonight to get some more done. (and yes, this time I will try to stick to the challenges in the crop and not veer off on my own thing….)

This was a fun project I did last week- Photo Blocks!
