embellishments - pearls dollar store :) and the ribbon unknown brand
enjoy!

PS I should mention that I DID MEET Stephanie in Edmonton!!!! she is such a wonderful person we even had a photo taken of the two of us which I would have posted but it didn't turn out :( maybe next time!

on Strike!

My son had started a post secondary school on Aug 30 he managed to get in 4 days of classes before the teachers went on strike! What a bummer for him. So now he is back here in the city visiting which is nice but.... sigh. Hopefully the strike will not last long.

week 6 color Black

Okay, I am still trying to catch up I am supposed to do a black set, white set, front and back covers! I am running out of time! haha this is the last week for the class and I didn't finish my homework :( sigh. I am determined to finish my color book!
Here is an wonderful photo of "Spot" our dog. I am not sure why I was having a hard time putting this one together but I finally did it. I am happy with the final results :)

week 5 color purple

Sorry,I have been on vacation and did not keep up with the class or the blog. I just finished week 5 last night. I just had to take a photo of my little one eyed one horn flying purple people eater and he sings it for me also hahaha I love it! trying to use my scraps of paper that I seem to have so much of. I did learn a new technique. Punch holes and place a differnt colored paper behind to give a differnt effect. Simple! can you see that I did that on both pages?
Now have to work on blue :)

Week two of my color class

Week two we are doing 2 colors orange and yellow. I just finished them both today! I'm happy but I do wish that I could do these in less time that it takes me to do them. Enjoy :)

What am I up to now.....

I have enrolled in an online class that is called "color! or is it Color?"
over at big picutre classes http://www.bigpictureclasses.com
I am a little behind at the moment but that has been my life lately lol
I am going to post my color cards as I finish them. Once I have all my color cards finished I will put them together to form a 6x6 book. Here is the first one and a little background for the photo. This is Johnny washing his Odessey after a good ride out in the mud. The color is "RED" enjoy :)

They met!

Both my brother Michael and niece Amber met :) it was such a wonderful time. So glad that it went so well miss you both! and have to say that they both REALLY like the albums that I had made for them YEA!
This photo was taken of the two of them at my sisters surprise birthday party.
