Catching Up!

Things have been a bit busy around these parts, I'm part of two CT's now and that's pretty exciting!  Inspired by Dominic Designs and A+Designs. Make sure to check out their stores from the links in my posts :-)  We are busy with spring flooding things - not at our place but helping out where we can. It's been very wet, and although the past few days were very nice, it's a bit cooler out today.  We have been spending lots of time outside, even on cooler days, because we are SO TIRED of winter! Luke asks each morning, "Can I go outside for even 10 minutes?" and we have been lucky enough to spend hours a day outside. Checking fence, cleaning up the yard, getting the flower beds ready and of course thinking about planting flowers, gardens and mowing lawns.  I did a 'frame' challenge recently on Scrapbook Flair and some pages for the various kits I've tried. Check them out:

Quote Challenge

I used the Spring Blossoms blog train mini by Inspired by Dominic Designs.  It was for a Creative Team Quote Challenge - what fun!  Enjoy...

At The Shop

For Luke, spending time with his Deeda and Grandpa are amongst the best things he can do. Going to the shop to see Grandpa and all the big machines puts him over the moon and a ride in a loader can be the topper for the whole week!  We did just that, and of course I took photos.  60+ pictures later and many layouts to come I've done two more pages.  I used Inspired By Dominic Designs CopperWorks Kit and the great Granite Alpha.  

Paper Pages and Projects

Luke and I had fun tonight doing some 'Easter' present pages for his Grandma, Grandpa and Alberta Grandparents (Grandma Jacki and Papa Dude).  He did one for his Deeda, but Deeda wasn't feeling well enough to help him do one for Mama...that's okay little man!  Mama knows you do great pages!

I'll post pictures tomorrow - he cuts, crops, glues and uses stickers.  We sure had fun and he explained why he did each thing on the page and then proudly went to show his Daddy (Deeda).  It makes my heart feel so good to see him proud of his creations, and have fun doing them.

I think I'll chat more when I post his photos tomorrow, did a new blog header (did you notice?) and am hoping my DH can sleep through the night with his bronchitis...poor big guy!  I love them so much...so tomorrow I'll chat about the preschool scrapbook project I am doing and show you Luke's latest pages. Night all!  

Note: decided to 'edit' rather than do a new post so the pages won't get lost :-)  Here are some of Luke's creative pages on my Facebook album.  Click here!

Tropical Get Away...

This great kit is available at: http://inspiredbydominicdesigns.blogspot.com/ and this is my creation with it, more to come but had to share this one...photos from today, sentiments from today as well from my little man Luke.  I call it "Wish We Were Here" and I think you will agree!

New Kits, New Collab - Come & Play!

It's been a busy couple of days, even with Earl not feeling well, doing house stuff, furniture stuff and studying and watch the snow s-l-o-w-l-y melting....no really warm days but the must be just around the corner. Question is how far are we from that corner?  :-)

I did a new page with Aisne's new kits, check them out here: http://aisne-creations.blogspot.com/  They are for the new challenge so you gotta do it!  I did my page using the boy colors, and it's a 'pre trip' page for when we go to Disney World next year!  I did it using my 'dream' resort, we may not stay there but we'll visit it often I'm sure!

This collab kit is awesome, and even better you get to see some great designers and their blogs..check  it out at:

Don't forget to check out all the designers and leave them some love - everyone li

kes that!

I rode the Spring Blog Train...

and it was awesome, not that I'm done yet...there are 91 (you saw it correctly ninety one) designers contributed so when you are done you'll have a HUGE mega kit. All for FREE!  Thanks to everyone who did this...Amazing stuff.

I've put my name in to a couple of designers for being on the Creative Team - something I really enjoy. Cross yer fingers...

Speaking of crossing fingers, we are all still hoping that the flooding won't be terrible here or for our friends once again in North Dakota.  We are getting ready and prepared for the worst which is better than not planning at all.  Another blog from someone in North Dakota is Jill DZine!  Check it out...

Going to do some pages, check the animals and help my DH study for his last three exams...then he is done his Ag Diploma...wahoooo!!

More later when the coffee kicks in...just had to let you know about the Blog Train!
