Tania's fabulous extras
I totally forgot to show you these! Tania (always stretching her kits for miles and miles) sent me these images of just a few of the other things she's made using her kits. It blows me away how this woman A) has this much time on her hands and B) that she can squeeze out so many wonderful projects from one kit. It just goes to show you how much stuff is really in these Couture Collections!

Challenge 78
Aaahhh....another work week down and yet another Friday is upon us. I've had a week full of good intentions when it comes to my To-Do list but I've kinda sucked in the accomplishment department. But in my defense, my bathroom is super clean and (almost) all the clean laundry is put away AND I've been knitting like a maniac so maybe I've been more productive that I think. Today, I'm heading to Jen Oviatt's house for a crop today after supper till midnight and all day tomorrow! So I'm totally bailing on the fam so I can do what I love. The way I see it, if I do something fun like scrapbooking all night and all day, then I might have a little more warm & fuzzy for the toilet scrubbing and laundry folding for the coming week. Sounds logical, right?
So this week we've got a super challenging image to scrap from and I must admit, I was kinda stumped at first but I dug up a couple of old contact sheets from a photo shoot I did years ago in Victoria BC with one of Karen McKinnon's photography students. I am always the first one in line when her students need a subject to help beef up their portfolios! The photos had been sitting in an envelope and I never did do anything with them so this was more than opportune.
The challenge this week lends well to a 2 page layout - which I rarely do - and I just love what the gals created for us this time. Our Flickr photo pool is bursting with great submissions for this month ! You don't wanna miss out on your chance to win a FREE COUTURE COLLECTION by creating pages from our weekly challenges and posting them to the photo pool. You can use any materials you wish just make sure you indicate which week your pages are for so we don't miss them in the voting process. Today's challenge is the final one for this month and we'll be choosing a favorite once we post the first challenge for July so get scrappin' and upload those pages!

just for fun
I decided to hide out in my studio yesterday afternoon and this is what I did...
Seth has an undying fascination with puddles (like he's the only boy with this affliction!)
Baby Sethy...didn't take much to knock him out...a bit o' the boob, a burp and la-tee-da, sleep, just like that!
Baby Noah, such a funny little guy, everyone thought he was a girl when he wore this outfit. He never wore it outside the house. BOOO to gender stereotypes!
I haven't worked on my art journal for a while but this is one of few pages that I'll publicly share.
Seth's 3rd birthday in Courtenay. The wheels were a gift from Auntie Shannon. Now they belong to Mikhail.
This was from a few weeks ago when Ray, Seth & I went for sushi. Gotta love watching a 4 year old try to master chopsticks!
and lastly, my favorite page of all of them. This page captures such an important part of who I am. If you know me at all, you know me to be an articulate & outspoken person with a keen sense of ha-ha! This page pretty much says it all...
Hope your weekend was as good as mine and that it continues to be!

Challenge 77
Shazzam! That was fast! It happens in the blink of an eye, the way Fridays show up around here...It's been another hectic week but the weekend is just around the corner and sometimes that means we get to pause working and hit 'play' on social time. Yay for hangin' with friends & BBQing in the sun.
This week's challenge is a 6x12 sketch (my current favorite change of pace from 12x12's) and it has been used in so many clever ways - again- by our talented team of designers. They have shown the elements of their Couture Collections in a way that can't help but inspire everyone who sees them. This week's pages are bursting with creative goodness!
But don't just look at them, take your inspiration and rock it out on a page. Post your page to our Flickr groups and you could be the lucky winner of this month's Couture Collection. OH! and speaking of Couture Collections, July's Kit is up-Spirit of Summer- it is gorgeous, overflowing with fun embellishments and sure to please even the most discerning scrapbooker! Check it out and order yours while supplies last.
