Christmas is in the air!

Christmas is right around the corner (ekks!) and it is time (if you have not already done so) to get serious about your holiday card plans. The cards shown below are the ones that I will be teaching at a workshop tonight but are also the ones I will be sending out to my family and friends. I love that they look elegant and classy but were so incredibly easy to do. With 3 kids under the age of 5 I need an easy and fast option but do not want to compromise on quality or looks. 

I really hope the ladies tonight enjoy the cards we are making. This is 3 of the cards, we will be doing one additional card and a special project to be posted soon. If you would like any information on dimensions, products used, or techniques I am happy to help out!

Until next time, Happy Scrapping!

Happy (belated) Father's Day!

Sorry for the delay in posts but I am just getting back into the swing of things after being away at a cottage for 9 glorious days with the family. It was our first official family vacation together and while it had its challenges, we had a great time and are eagerly awaiting our next holiday in the Fall!


So now it is time to get my craft on again. I am going through scrapbook withdrawals big time and have some many projects that I want to work on but time seems to just be so limited when you have 3 little ones under the age of 5 so I just need to find the time and get some me time in one way or another. 


So anyhoots, Father's Day...this is a new one to me, making Father's Day cards for my husband. This was his first Father's day and I wanted to do something special for him. He has recently taking up fishing and is loving it so I wanted to honour his new hobby along with his new status as a "daddy" and came up with this card.

Now I will be honest, I did not think up this idea, I had seen several of these before and even made a similar one for Father's Day a few years ago in orange to symbolize Home Depot vests since that is my Father in Law's all time favorite store, so this is so not an original idea, just a different take and there are many different types of vests out there if you look. My husband just loved the card and I had each of our girls colour a fish I had cut out for them to decorate and by far, those were the highlight for my husband...fisheys from his girls.
