cupcakes anyone?

these layouts are about elki and zoé eating cupcakes at 'pop puce' (a craft sale connected to 'pop montreal') back in october! i did this one of elki first and then just scraplifted for zoé's with a little twist. i must tell you that those cupcakes were to die for! the 2 small photos on the layouts were actually photos of the 2 of them sitting side by side enjoying eating while i snapped away and i just cut them up so that they could go on each of their layouts.

the last of our cruise album...

i actually made this album like a book would be made, the cover page, index and then each port as we visited them. i don't know if they will enlarge when clicked because it seems my blog has a mind of its own. i have not done anything different and all of a sudden some can enlarge and others can't, so good luck!

sunday summary

another busy weekend here! friday night i met julie and nathalie for a vietnamese dinner, saturday did a little window shopping at dix 30 with hubby, babysat the girls saturday night and today lisa & the girls came over so that dom could work on his music! it's a good job i scratched a couple of things off my to-do list last week, (finished my tinkerbell painting for elki and the christmas stocking for zoé) so i could play on the weekend.

here are a few more layouts from our cruise album.

our cruise album...

i just realized that i could only post 4 of these layout at one time, so here are the last 4 places we visited on our september cruise. i will upload more in a different post sometime this weekend. since i was also doing an ibook, because i had taken so many photos, i chose 9 or 10 photos from each port and scrapped them to satisfy my addition! the first 3 you can click to see them bigger, but for some strange reason, some of mine don't and venice will not, go figure!

you might notice that i do not have any journalling on them, but rest assured i had lots to say for each port, but too much for the front of my layout, so for each layout i made a pocket in the back with a slide out piece of cardstock with a tab on top.

it's wednesday...

and i feel like uploading a couple of layoutss! these are both about justin's visit to the great escape in lake george, n.y. this year. i purposely did not make a double page layout because the one about him getting a special delivery of milk and cookies from daffy duck i felt, deserved a page all to itself, but of course him meeting all those other looney toon characters needed one too. so here they are!

even though they are individual los, i think they will actually look like a double pager when they are beside each other in his album.

sunday night...

and the weekend is over and it was another fun one.

saturday morning we went to see 'the rockettes' at the bell center. we had great seats, first row off the ice and close to the stage and what a fabulous show it was, the dancing was flawless and the costumes were absolutely gorgeous. saturday afternoon we went up to laval to celebrate justin's 8th birthday, so the whole family was together and playing with their wii (bowling) and justin beat the pants off of us!

and today i finished up preparing my ibook of our mediterranean cruise for print, so i am a happy camper!

here is a layout i did a few weeks ago.

unplanned busy weekend...

for a weekend i didn't have any plans for, i ended up being fairly busy. yesterday lisa called to invite us to join her family to go to a bazaar in a church near their house and they love to go to these bazaars for the home made lunches and of course if you find a little something in the bargain it works out well. reg had some work to do, so i went with them and bought a cute little oriental teapot with 2 little cups and 2 marguerita glasses, my drink of choice, after a bowl of delicious pea soup, because they were all out of the carrot and a i shared an egg sandwich with elki. after that we all (except dom who was going to a class reunion) came back here for supper and reg made a nice lemony custard dessert. my husband is quite the baker!!!

today, first thing after reg left to play golf, i went and put the cover on the tempo frame since it was such a lovely day. then i made a trip out to scrapbook centrale to pick up my a.c. album and a few other goodies, getting caught in traffic both ways (an accident in both directions, go figure!)

after lunch we went to visit an open house apartment block in brossard for retired people, which was to die for. it had everything from a pool (my pleasure) to a movie theatre to a dining room and a beauty salon, very beautiful but very expensive, so needless to say we won't be moving there any time soon, unless we win the million, hahaha!

i will leave you with a layout i did last week about the day dom, elki & i went out to visit the ecomuseum and met up with ruth & julie & mimi and the kids.

last but not least...

and here is my last layout for the a.c. blog challenge. i did not have any a.c. halloween pps to go with the red for this one (but the requirement is only using 2 products, period) so i found these a.c. papers in my a.c. scraps and did something i found myself unable to do in the past. as a matter of fact ruth and i had agreed on this very thing at our weekend crop a few weeks ago, and that's putting a title on patterned paper. i think it works here though since the patterns are not that busy. and usually i hate red eye, but in this photo it works!!!

supplies:

cardstock: american crafts and bazzill

my second a.c. blog challenge layout

this is justin's layout and my second one for the a.c. blog challenge, he opted for a mask since i cut the eye slits bigger because the mask sat away from his eyes too much and he said he couldn't see that well.

supplies:

cardstock: american crafts, bazzill, colorbox & provo

pattern paper: american crafts

thickers: american crafts

letter stickers: my little shoe box

chipboard: little yellow bicycle & reminisce

one for the a.c. blog challenge!

i have done one layout for each grandchild. my first one is 'our hungry leopard' about zoé who would not sit still to have all her face made up. her costume was a leopard, but she chose to have her face made up as a tiger, so she is a half finished tiger leopard but she started eating candy before we even went out trick or treating so that's what i focused on since in the photo she has her mouth full of it!

supplies:
cardstock: bazzill & provo craft
pattern paper: american crafts (some of my cut out bats are pop-dotted)
