Easy Scrapbooking Page

Posted on by Josee

Are you a scrapbooker looking for a quick scrapbook layout? Here’s a fun and easy page using some new products out of the Occasions Mini Catalogue.

 
Stamped by Michelle Sturgeon

This scrapbook page uses the new Friendly Flowers set with the Summer Picnic Designer Series Paper. This paper is so fun and cheery, if we didn’t have 10,000 feet of snow outside right now…I’d almost feel like summer is coming! The alphabet used is the Big Deal Alphabet.

Enjoy! Josee

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Posted on by Josee

oh my gosh-what a weekend!!!! If you’re local…can you BELIEVE all the snow we received? If you’re not local- here’s a news quote about our Ottawa Weather: "Mother Nature walloped Ottawa with 51 cm (21 inches) of snow over the weekend, paralyzing streets and sidewalks across the Capital." It was quite amazing!!! I’m so thankful our power stayed on and we had no where to go this morning.

My family took a drive around checking out the size of people’s snow banks and took some pictures…here’s a few of my favourites I just had to share:

 

My kids in front of our front yard (blinded by the sun….lol).

 

A car that hit the side of a snow bank and couldn’t get out. My dh got out to help…what a hero!  

I thought this was funny…the car (not ours) is buried in his laneway! I’m guessing it’s not his main car…at least I hope it’s not.

What a true Canadian (or Ottawa) Winter! I hope this weather gave you a chance to do some Scrapbooking and Rubber Stamping!!!! HOpe you’re having a fabulous and warm winter day! Josee
