Hello everyone! Just a short post tonight, I really needed to pop on and let you know about this fabulous kit that
Maurine has out this week, called
Family Feast, and it's great!! The elements are so cute! Check out the preview:
It really can be used for any kind of layout, and since I'm in Canada and our thanksgiving was last month, my layouts are not themed!! The first is my niece and nephew, and my dad at his birthday party the other night. I am such a scrapper through and through that my only thought was that this was a total photo op!! I used a template by
A Scrap Away for this layout, as well as
Thanksgiving word art by Kathy Winters (preview is below my layout).
And for this one, I used a
freebie template by Krystal Hartley, which I've actually
used before. I just really like this template!
In my regular life news this week, I've cracked open one of my quilt kits to try and get one of my sewing projects done. I started cutting the material last week, and haven't finished. Every time I go down to start Chase wants me to help him build a train track, and it all goes downhill from there!! I also busted out my Boney M cd and dusted off my Christmas decorations. Last year I didn't even get
any of it out, so this year I'm ahead of the game! Chase helped me put up all the window clings, and tomorrow while the girls nap, we'll slowly get some more of it out. And, I have to tell you I went to see New Moon today!! It was almost anti-climactic for me though, as I felt like I'd seen most of it in the previews. It was nice to have it in sequence though, so it made more sense. You can definitely tell there was a budget difference between this one and Twilight though. Overall, it was a good movie, I enjoyed watching it and would definitely go watch it again. There were several action sequences that were added, and the Volturi weren't as old and leathery/papery like they were described, but it was good. It sure moved a lot faster than the book, and I thought the editing made it feel a little choppy at times, as it seemed like some of the scenes felt like they assumed you read the book to understand how they got from one point to the next. 4 stars!! lol. That's all that's happening in my corner of the world. I have more personal work stories to share at some point, but it's on going right now, so you'll just have to hang in there. I know, I know, you're hanging on my every word and can't wait, but you'll just have to!! Oh, and was anyone else PO'd that the Vampire Diaries was a repeat?? I mean, I know it's Thanksgiving in the States, but c'mon! Ok, that's it, thanks for reading my drivel as always, g'night!

Her kits are available at 
Font was P22 Cezanne. I also used a template by Kristal Hartley.
The typewriter font I used for this one was Depot. Make sure you check out 
And my layouts:
I remember the font I used for this one was Angelic War, and I love how it looks on the layout!
And 
This one, is Rayna this year, her first time outside in the snow. It was pretty cute, she just kind of sat there like this pink stay puffed man. It was hilarious. The alpha on this one is included in the kit, isn't it gorgeous!
I think she may even have a special on that might get you the alpha for free! This was such a great kit, the colors were perfect for birthday stuff! This first layout is of some photos of Rayna's first birthday (there are lots more where these ones came from!) I'm really bad at sharing regular photos, so I kind of like that I can show my layouts, and everyone can see my pictures at the same time! This is the first birthday kit that I scrapped with, and my first actual birthday photo layouts, and I loved the kit! So many cute elements, and lots of them were non-themed, so you could do everyday layouts with this kit as well!
And even though the kit is called "Girly" Birthday, I used it to scrap Chase's birthday photos as well! He had a Spongebob party (and yes I made his cake as well as Rayna's!) I got the idea from 
Oh, and make sure you check 
Today being Friday the 13th made me think of it, as I remember watching it a long, long, long time ago! If you don't (sigh, then it was before your time) and you can check out the trailer, well, you can check it out even if you do remember it:
Just click on the photo below to be taken to download, password is beauty.
and my first layout, starring my nephew, I just loved the papers and all the elements in this kit! This layout is of my new nephew, using Cheri's part of the kit only:
And this one was Chase, just ecstatic that it was snowing {it was early October, so needless to say, I was not as overjoyed}.
And this one is my daughter, just being all cute and happy! Love these elements, and the photo mask! This layout used both kits.
And here is one last freebie for you! A quick page made from my first layout for you! Hope you like some of my layouts, and please leave a comment if you download! I know you hear it all the time, but I know I for one really like to hear what you think! Click on the image to be taken to the download, and the password is family.
I found something I find very interesting on Wikipedia (don't you just love Wikipedia??) about the 
And here are my layouts, isn't that carriage element just too cute? And I love the alpha too:

This is what I did with it, some of my macro shots of my flowers from this summer. Yes, sadly, summer is over for us here. Average daily temps have been anywhere from 0C to -10C. Sucks. We had snow for Halloween, but that's a common occurrence here.
Here is my second layout (I just love those sparkles and I wanted them to look like they were coming off my niece's wand). I used the

She has several great prizes up for grabs, so hop on over and enter! (Or don't because then I have a better chance of winning!! 
Only 15 more days til New Moon is in theaters! My sister better hurry up and finish reading it so she can come see it with me. (And I know you're reading this so get off the computer and go read that book!) You can see a new (or at least new-er) clip of the movie
