July...done at last

My house has never been this neat and clean and tidy for so many days in a row. Of course don't even think to ask me where some stuff may be. I have only a general idea! I hope to make some progress in that department this week, but in the meantime I finished off the 5 pages I have for July. I'm only posting 2, the others are full of faces I would have to blur and that spoils all the fun of showing them to you :-(

But here is July

and the Flowers of July. Such a colourful time of the year.

For the first page a used a fun kit of Kimberly Stewart's, 'Spotted Cows'

and the Flora one features an older kit ' Lemonberry Zinger' by Rina Kroes

oh and by the way Scrapbook-Elements have a 40% off sale, running till the 31st, don't miss this one!

I'll be back with a little giftie for you shortly...have a great week!

Serenity - New from Rina Kroes

I'm still working on the July pages (when I'm not cleaning/sorting/packing - we are downsizing...need I say more?) so I'll be posting those shortly (I hope!)

Meantime I have a freebie for you down below. It features Rina Kroes new kit Serenity. Take a look at Rina's store for the rest of the collection, with new additions releasing tomorrow (Sunday 21/08)

There's some beautiful LO's over on Rina's blog featuring this kit. As well as a 12x12 QP freebie.

And here is my little gift for you...enjoy!

You can download you freebie HERE

Thanks for stopping by!

Those Billy Goats Again....

I figured they probably need a page for themselves these guys....Rina Kroes has a new collection out. 'Bring Me Sunshine' (her wish has come true, we've had more sun in the Pacific Northwest since...)

See the rest of the Bring Me Sunshine Collection HERE. If you are signed up for the Scrapbook-Elements newsletter, you'll be getting a couple of BB QP's that I made as gifts, later this month.


Also -  you can head on over to Rina's blog and pick up this beauty

Yearbook - June 2011

So far I'm able to keep to a 2-pages-per-month average. I feel I'm able to keep up just fine that way and that everything that needs to be documented, is. It will probably take me a few more months though, to get 'free' of the desire to do a picture-a-day album. ;-) Click on the picture/link for full credits to products used!

So here is June Page 1  I find nature shots irresistable...

and June Page 2

Right now I'm working hard on catching up on recipe cards. I also host the recipe card exchange over at Scrapbook-Elements. This month we are doing desserts. Here is my contribution (make one card get all the submitted cards see the forum post for details) This dessert is delicious. Easy to change flavours to suit what you have in the house, or to suit your meal. Yummy indeed!

I used  Rina's Sweet Taste of Summer Page Set     I also used this and other bits from the Sweet Taste of Summer Collection for my first June Page pictured above.

Summery Freebie Time

Well the weather man is promising us some summer this weekend. We'll wait and see if it happens, but I'm not holding my breath. I figured a sunny QP may just get us in the mood for the long weekend ahead though.

Here's a better look at the kit I used.

You can get the freebie HERE If you have problems downloading, please leave me a note. I had to change some settings in my 4Shared and just wanted to make sure it is all still working fine for you!

Have a Happy Canada Day...and a great 4th of July! ...and don't forget to drop by at Scrapbook-Elements for the weekend long SALE starting Friday 1st!

Yearbook - May 2011

Here are my two pages for this month. It was a bit hard to stick to two pages . One of those cases where I could do 4 pages, but really? Do I need that many pictures included, or can I tell the story better with few? I opted for the latter, and hope it works. Click on the LO's to go to the gallery for active links to the products used.

Now I have a freebie QP almost ready for you, hope to make it available before the weekend, at least. I don't know what happened to the days of the week. I'm sure we've lost a couple somewhere...

And I can start straight away on my June pages too! Whoot! After several delays I finally had the second book for last year printed (I did a 365/52 project) and just when I got the books for my family back from the printers...we had a postal strike! ACK! Now I have to wait for the backlog of mail to get processed and then I can mail these. I might as well wrap them in Christmas paper by now :D
