Baby It's Cold Outside

So it is a little chill outside here today ! So I thought I would share a fun summer layout. I know I was sharing hockey before the snow was falling and now summer. But I love these photos of my son and our dog. Laika our beloved dog passed away this fall which makes this layout that much more special.

This layout shows how much these two love the lake. There were many an hour you could find these two right here. All the product on the layout are from Bella Blvd. 

Enjoy your day no matter the weather! Chris

Last Day of Scrapper's Club Week

So for the last day of the week I decide to share a page that the members of the club haven't even seen yet. They will get to see it at tonight's session! Shhhh! It is one of the layouts that they can choose from for next month. I love the way it turned out. My daughter had a pink cast at the end of the summer post surgery so there are lots of pink in my pages in that time frame.

She has lots of Instagram photos so it was fun to be able to add so many here. I really like the way the layout turned out. Thanks for spending the week with me!
Enjoy! Chris

Scrapper's Club day four

Day four and another Scrapper's Club page or two. Toady I am posting a few pages from the summer. The first is a fun sunshine ray covering the two pages. The paper had a total summer feeling. To create the layout I found it easiest to make a template. Then everyone use the template, it worked like a puzzle.

The second page I love because of the color combination! This page I spent a lot of time putting together all the little embellishments. There are so many little details I love!

It is hard to believe the week is almost over. I have been having fun I hope you have too.
Enjoy! Chris

Scrapper's Club day three

We are now half way through Scrapper's Club week. I am really enjoy sharing the pages so far. It is a bit like travelling down memory lane. Here is a slightly older page.

This is not a very complicated page but everyone had fun working on it. It was nice because it features one photo but you are able to add lots of photos to the page. This is a layout that highlight a fun event in my sons school year. They have a few practice speed skating then they get to go to the MTS Center (where the Jet play) to race the other kids in the city.

Enjoy! Chris 

Scrapper's Club day two

So the layout I pick for the day two reveal is a very recent page. Last month I believe! But it is one of my favorite pages from Scrapper's Club. When I am creating pages for this club there are several things that have to be taking into account. You have to create a page that can be duplicated with relative ease, that has a broad base appeal, just to name a few.
Some of my favorite things about this layout are... I love the color contrast, the pie charts (super hot right now and so fun!)

I always love when there is a tip that goes along with the layout. So for the pie charts I cut the circles together and then when it was time to cut them into parts I cut them at the same time. That made it really easy to exchange the pieces to create a varied pattern.
So fun! Enjoy! Chris

Scrapper's Club Week!

As some of you may know and some of you may not...I have been designing for what is lovingly called Scrapper's Club for several years now. It is a local group and once a month we get together and scrap. I do the design work for them. They come armed with a their own pictures and get to work. I have never shared any of the pages I have design here. So I thought it might be fun to have a Scrapper's Club reveal week. I will post a layout a day all week. I have had a good time looking back and picking the layouts. I thought as we are starting to think about our photos for the family Christmas card, this layout would be a fun one to share.

At each evening session they would come armed with their photos and a few tools and at the end of the night they go home with four completed pages ( two layouts). One of my favorite parts is to see how different everyone's pages turn out.
Enjoy! Chris
