Birthday Bella & Her Wall of Memories

I love photos.  I don't know exactly when in my life I discovered my love for photos but I'm glad I did.  Capturing an image also captures that moment of time; one which will never happen again.  This is the reason so many people spend thousands of dollars on photography whether it's for a wedding, birthday or just to have family photos.  Of course this doesn't mean you only want to dwell on the past but to remember the special moments in your life and document you and the one's around you.

This is one of the reasons why I enjoy scrapbooking; I can enjoy the moment all over again when ever I want.

A lot of us have photos somewhere in the home and some even hanging on the wall, this was the inspiration of my card.  I used a couple of Stamping Bella stamps and a couple from Stampin' Up! Enjoy! 

Thanks for popping by!  Have a fabulous weekend!

Monkey Valentine

Valentine's day is around the corner and I wanted to make something special for my husband.  We usually celebrate valentines day like any other day, a homemade meal and a movie.  One year we had a couple of friends join us and I made a chocolate fondue, homemade pizza and we watched the Notebook, it was fun : )  Do you do anything special for Valentine's day?

For today's card I used the monkey from the Fox and Friends stamp set by Stampin' Up! She's doing a cartwheel on this card, showing him she's head over heals in love ~ cheesy eh? lol

Have a fantastic weekend!  Thanks for dropping by!

Relax And Rejoice Anya

As I reflect back on last year and remember the many events that happened I can't help but think a big part of my year was spent watching movies with my family and friends. My husband enjoys a good flick as much as I enjoy creating cards! He posted his top 10 movies here.

I don't have a top 10 but these are the movies I really enjoyed.

Eat Pray Love

How to Train your dragon

The Social Network

Legend of the Guardians

Do you have a favourite movie that was released last year? Or maybe a movie you're looking forward to seeing this year? I'm looking forward to seeing: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, X-Men: First Class, Green Lantern, Transformers: Dark of the Moon and I'm sure there's more.

Today's card makes me smile when I look at it. It's a girly girl card and it's all about me time. I hope you're all getting some me time whether it's suggling up with a book, walking your best friend, or crafting! ... it can only energize you and make you feel good.  I used another TGF stamp I purchased last fall. I hope you like it!

Have a Wonderful weekend! 
BTW, it's finally winter in Mississauga!  Bundle up if you're in the neighbourhood : )

McSplendid Farm Birthday

It's hard to believe the holidays are officially over.  I had Monday off but Jamie didn't so after meeting him for lunch at Swiss Chalet (soooo yummy!) I enjoyed the afternoon at the Dixie outlet mall.  It was perfect timing, as it was the last day for some fantastic boxing day sales!  I'm talking 80% off the regular price! I got a bag of Jacob clothing, a pair of shoes and a new cupcake punch by EK Success... wherever there's a Michaels I can't resist stopping in and picking up a little something.  It was a great last vacation day for me.  I hope you had a wonderful holiday too.

To top off my holiday's I got some awesome comments on my blog that made me smile!  Thanks for leaving some love.  If you've seen the movie "You've Got Mail" with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan you'll understand my "happy" when I saw those comments.

I had a lot of fun with The Greeting Farm's "McSplendid Farm" set, there are a lot of animals included in this one.  I liked how the mouse was originally sitting on the cat's head but since I couldn't make the card work with the cat I moved the mouse to the cow's head... and he appears to be happy there. 

 
You'll be seeing more TGF stamps on my blog throughout the year.  I picked up a bag of them from Scrapalicious back in the fall when they were having their 12 weeks til Christmas sale.

And just because, I thought I'd share a couple more photos I took of the cards I made for my Christmas card orders.  I am working on a few more card orders which I'm excited about.  I'll be showing those to you in the next two months : )

Have an Awesome week!  And thanks for dropping by : )
