Some hockey anyone?

I know I know we are finally in full blown summer and I am talking about ice hockey. The sad part is we are just a few days away from a regular scheduled hockey. I know you can call me Hockey Mom.
These pages are all created with Creative Memories Sporty Paper Stack.

This was an outdoor 4x4 tournament last spring. Let's just say the boy had some fun. I am quite enjoying playing with the paper stack. There are lots of bright patterns to pick from.

Enjoy! Chris

 

 

 

Working on workflow!

So I am been missing for a bit. As some of you know my daughter has had some pretty major surgery. I will spare you the details as it would make some a bit queasy ! She is doing quite well now but that way a long road. This is her in the hospital. She looks better then she feels.

Then there was a week of lots and lots of special care from her parents! She had a rough recovery period, but the doctor was happy with how all the bone work went.

 

 So after a week she got a new cast. Very painful experience- by the way.

 

To make it even more exciting she turn 16 in the middle of this whole experience. So her brother tried to make it a bit better with a present to match her new cast.

We seem to be on the up swing now so now onto my next issue. Not a ton of work coming out of my office. So I am spending the day on workflow! So get ready there is some scraping happening so soon as I clean my scrapbook area!

Enjoy!- Chris

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Creative Memories Baby Blog Hop

Well all I can say is I am so excited to be taking part in my very first Blog Hop with the new Creative Memories Design Team. If you have arrived here you should be coming from Gretchen McElveen's blog. You have made your way about half way through and you have to agree Creative Memories has introduced a great baby line. Make sure to read all the way to the end for your clue.

When we were told the hop was going to take place the first thing that came to my mind was- "Hey, that's my birthday!". So I thought it would be a great way to celebrate the new baby line and my birthday with a page layout from when I was a baby.
There are not many pictures of me as a baby because my parents did not have a camera (hard to believe I know). The only pictures seem to be when someone came to visit. Thank goodness my parents were interested in showing me off to others.

The pictures in the layout are of my Grandma Pearl and myself, she was my Dad`s mom. Once I had grown I spent many an hour baking and crafting with her. It was always a special day when I got to have a sleepover and spend a wonderful girls day with her.

I used the new It's A Girl Digital Additions for StoryBook Creator and It's A Girl Digital Kit for StoryBook Creator as well as Cute As A Bug Digital Embellishments for StoryBook Creator.

This layout is pictures of my first airplane trip to visit my Grandparents. I was the first grandchild born on both side of the family. I am sure that has something to do with the nickname my Grandfather gave me, "Princess". Even though I don't remember the event the pictures bring back so many memories of wonderful visits and fun times.

There are so many great blog for you to visit, hope you enjoyed your time here. The next blog on the hop is, Ginger Williams. Before you leave your clue is "I". Thanks for having some fun with me!

Happy Easter

Better late then never right! Easter was a bit different for us this year. It is a family tradition that we head to the mountains for some skiing with the kids for the school break. Nine years straight to be exact. This is the first time that it was Easter at the end of our vacation. We arrived home really late on Saturday night. So we ended up having Boston Pizza for Eater dinner as nothing was open here. Luckily, we had done our Eater crafts before we left. Here is the result posted on Creative Memories Project Centre.

It was such a great craft the kids worked on. They were plaster eggs that you created and the painted. There were even some sparkles for who ever wanted.  If you are interested in a full set of instructions they are here or click on the picture and it will take you there too.

Enjoy!

Beach days!

So this is the first week of spring? Really?? I think it is safe to say it has not made its way here yet. We are still heavy into snow. This is the way my house looked last week as the plough came down to clear the street- Nice, no getting up that! On the bright side the sun is shining. Haha!

The other good thing is it has meant some time for scrapbooking. I am going to share a beach page. My kids LOVE going to the beach. This day it was beautiful when we left the city, not so nice by the time we got there. It was super windy. I am pretty sure I didn't even go in the water that day. This is a page of Hannah dancing on the beach because anyone who knows her knows she dances wherever she goes!

There are lots of great Creative Memories goodies in there, but most of it is from the Enchanted Power Palette.

Enjoy! Chris

PS I Love You

I was able to sneak away this weekend and do a little scrapbooking. It is so lovely to spend the weekend at a B&B with nothing to worry about other then how many hours of scrapbooking you can get in. Haha! It is wonderful to arrive and find your room with the pressed sheets all ready for you. Then it is time to get to work!

This is a page from Valentine's Day last year. What a handsome young man-eh! This is the PS I Love You Ltd edition. If you like it you should get it before it is gone. The Ltd Edition products have been going quick. Some of the new product for January/ February is gone already so don't delay.
Enjoy!

Border Maker Love!

I was lucky enough to be able to escape to a B&B for the weekend. It was so crazy cold, I mean CRAZY cold. But it was that much better for a weekend of scrapbooking. There was nothing you had to worry about other then staying warm and how many pages you could scrapbook. It was very productive.

Here are some of the pages I worked on this weekend. You will see a repeated theme...the border maker from Creative Memories.

This is a fun Christmas page. I used three different border punches. That is one of my most
 thing is to layer the borders.

A super fun winter page. It is not a good sign when you need to clean off the slide but they were determined.

A track and field page with the new Hexagon Border Maker. This is one of my new favorites. Check it out here.

This is a birthday page. Yes pink for my boy what fun! This is also with the Hexagon Border Maker.

If you had not had a chance to check out the whole system, check it out here.

This is a must have tool.

Enjoy!
