Granny Squares Are So Chic!

Yes brightly coloured soft yarn always brings a smile to my face. I have to admit I can not stop crocheting....so it seems like my blog will now be all about a mixture of scrappy goodness and the wonderful new hobby I fell in love with crocheting! So for this weeks challenge over at Scrapperie the fabulous Freestyle DT had to come up with a layout all about alphas....so here is my layout! I used MM mini alphas to add some crocheting terms, and I did some journaling all the way around my layout in addition to a journaling card.

I LOVE making granny squares!
Well I am up early and ready to head out to the gym...then to my local thrift store to see if I can find any treasures! Have a great day :)

Go Canada!!!

I have lots to share today but have to hurry because I am going to the Olympic Torch relay!! That's right the Olympic Torch is coming through our little City today, I think that is so cool!So we are having a big ceremony at the MultiPlex this morning! GO CANADA!!!

Okay first of all yesterday was week 2 for the fabulous Freestyle DT to reveal their take on the challenge over at Scrapperie! The challenge was to doodle on your layout.So here is my take.....

This is a layout about me learning to accept myself....and just be happy during my weight loss journey! I am down 35lbs....and I still have a way to go! So I really wanted to make a scrapbook on how I feel about it because it really is life changing for me.

Okay now I am going to share with you what has recently come off my hooks!!!

These gloves were really easy to make, and are super warm! And here is a cute little i-pod sock monkey cozie! I joined crafster.org and found the pattern there it was really easy, and my Daughter loves it!Make sure to come back soon because tomorrow I will have a legendary.......wait for it ~ layout inspired by one of my favourite shows...."How I Met Your Mother" using Creatively-Green Cardstock!

Kickn' it Freestyle!

Woo hoo the Freestyle DT over at Scrapperie posted their first project last Saturday......and WOW you should see the fab layouts the girls made!!! The challenge was to scrap what "Freestyle means to you" the first thing that came to mind when I read the challenge was stepping outside the norm, scrapping outside the box. So that is what I did! I tried a few things I never do and came up with this layout!
One of the techniques I tried was to make a pattern on my base piece of cardstock. I used white acrylic paint and covered a square of bubble wrap and used it like a large stamp to get cool circles on my paper!

I also scrapped a layout with no photo....which was really hard for me I felt a little lost like I was almost doing it wrong! But once I got going adding embellies I got in my groove :)
I am really excited to show you next weeks layout! Come join the fun! Everyone at Scrapperie is really friendly and there are great daily challenges too!Just click here :)

Lets Get Ready To Rumble!

I had so much fun taking my Nephews to see The Monster Trucks a couple of months ago! They both screamed at the top of their lungs when the announcer at the Monster Trucks yelled "Let's Get Ready To Rumble"! We had such a blast...watching all the trucks get squished like pancakes! Okay I enjoyed watching the boy's faces light up more! Every time the trucks did a jump the boy's squealed in excitement! As soon as I opened my kit from Creatively-Green and seen the label "Do not crush" I knew I had to make this layout! And how perfect was it that I got a large Clay Artz letter C.....perfect to make my funky title....... CRUSH!

And if you haven't heard Creatively-Green is hosting a Valentines Blog Hop! Come join the fun, there's going to be a scavenger hunt, bingo challenges and cool prizes! Just click here :)
