What's happening this week!

I can hardly believe the store has been open for two weeks now. This has been a busy week though, I added four new products this week- Paper Tears as per Melinda's request, Aged Cardstock , Alpha Cardstock and the finally finished Wild West kit.

The Wild West Kit was inspired from Kimi's Jimtown Scrapyard Blog.
Kimi takes some incredible photos. From a post of her DH doing a reenactment I started making the Wild West kit. It's interesting the images that inspire us to create. I often look through scrapbook magazine, or any magazine for layout ideas and then I just get an idea and away I go...

On the personal side, I have a very busy week starting out with a 20k run on Sunday, the last weekend before my 1/2 Marathon Race on Nov 4th. This will be my 4th race in 3 years. I had hoped to do more races this year but with the torn ligament injury from playing soccer this summer I had to make a few adjustments. I am very happy to be running again. It's so much fun though, girlfriends and gabbing and the outdoors, what more do we need...well maybe some chocolate and coffee!

My Sister and wee niece are coming this week too. I'm so excited as they will be trick or treating with us on Halloween. The boys aren't quite sure of their cousins costume a very popular female insect( you'll have to wait to see the pics) but they are vampires, ninjas and gangsters. They're not quite sure she'll fit in! It will be fun all the same, the first walking Halloween for her too!

Blue Eyes

I have been trying to do some layouts over the weekend. I realized I have not actually scrapped any layouts in a while and need to catch up. I completed one with my youngest son Evan, off in la la land! I used multiple elements from products to comlete the layout and I am really pleased with how it turned out.
Products used: Birthday in Blue Kit, Straight stitch from Eco Friendly Kit, Circle scribble frames from Oopsi Daisy, Staples, and Monthly paper clips
Font is Jr Hand from 6000 Fonts.

The first week!

It's been quite a whirlwind! The first week has gone well and I am looking forward to the 2nd and many other weeks! I have some exciting promotions starting next week so be sure to check back on Monday for a great Halloween special. There is also a new kit to be hitting the store next week called




I am now concentrating on Christmas products. I'm very excited about creating for one of my favourite Holidays. I have so many sketches, I need several uninterrupted days to complete everything! I will hopefully be spending some much needed time with my girlfriend in Nova Scotia which, I'm sure will allow me some time to get some more work done!
Don't forget to check back on monday for a new store promotion!

Back to Fall Layout

The store will be open next week!! YEAH! We are heading into Thanksgiving this weekend, and a much needed break with family. Of course, there will be mass quatities of turkey consumed as well. The weather is warming up for the weekend, and as my family makes the trip North to Ottawa for the festivites, I am looking forward to taking some family photos with the fall backdrop that will be on display.
This is my favourite time of year; Mother Nature works overtime painting the landscape with my favourite colours!
Here is a layout with my Back to Fall kit - pictures are of my eldest son Liam, taken in the fall of 1999. You can download the template at www. scrapleaps.typepad.com .I hope everyone enjoys their Thanksgiving weekend! Look for the store opening announcement to follow shortly!
