a quick layout i did this morning with my new purchase of Maya Road chipboard purchased at Scrapbook Centrale yesterday and some materials i'd had for a while but hadn't used.

For the Scrap & Celebr8 festivities i gave an online class (my first) on paint. You can see it here.

Here are a 4 cards i made with the April scrap pack the first 2 are made with the digi elements cre8ed by { Just Melissa } and the other 2 were made from { Just Caro }'s sketches. you can find them here.

big reveal!!!

The April kit has been revealed on Just Cre8 along with a new, smaller kit called the scrap pack (that's the one i design for)

Here are the 2 layouts i did for the reveal
update: the next layout has just been requested to appear in Canadian Scrapbooker of Dec 2009. layout: Love bites

I've also done 1 more layout with the kit and 2 cards so far. i'm also posting a "Love" mini-book that i did with the February kit.

my first DT kit

i finally received my first DT kit from Just Cre8! i love mail day when i see the card in the mailbox to go pick up the box at the post office. So this week-end i cre8ted 2 layouts. here's a sneak peek of the yummy kit that will be reveal on JC8 on the 15th.

ok so things on the home front aren't so good... i have a sinusitis (again!) and Charlie has tonsilitis. I didn't go to work today and we spent most of the morning at the clinic. I don't think i'll be going in tomorrow either because he still had a 102 fever before bed tonight. We had a really long night last night, he kept waking up 'cause he was hurting. At 3h30 he decided he wasn't going back to sleep. So i've been up since 3h30 am last night, i was able to take a 1hr nap this afternoon while he slept.

He's getting so good at standing up on his own. he'll stand up not holding onto anything. Yesterday morning he took his first steps! we were in the bathroom and dh was in the shower. Charlie stands up and takes 3 steps, crouches down, stands up again and takes another 3 steps. He hasn't done it since, but it still great!!!

ok so here are my pics of the day for the last week (i haven't been good at taking them everyday, though)

6/30 (feb 28) a very messy scrap space
7/30 (feb 29) this is what happens when you let a 3 yr old dress himself
8/30 (march 01) Charlie standing up all by himself
09/30 (march 2) just a cute picture
TFL!
