Mother's Day 2012

Geese and Mallards

Canada Goose

Water Snake

Rose Breasted Grosbeak

I had such a wonderful day with my son and his girlfriend. We went to our local conservation area and feed the birds. It was an amazing day. There were plenty of birds and wildlife out and about on such a beautiful day. We saw geese and mallards. There were lots of water snakes along the lake as well. As we moved around the conservation area there we many birds to see. Downy Woodpeckers, Baltimore Orioles, Black Capped Chickadees, Fox Sparrows, White Breasted Nuthatch and a very beautiful Rose Breasted Grosbeak.Of course we had to try feeding the Chickadees. There are very bold and will eat right out of your hand. They attract lots of visitors who love to feed them. We only feed the birds, bird seeds, NOT bread like some folks. All in all it was a wonderful afternoon.

Oh it was a wonderful day. I spend all day Saturday Oct.22nd doing what I love to do with people who have the same interest as I do. The all day crop at Marchants Paper Memories. It was a blast spending the day creating and sharing ideas. I love my scrapbooking all day crops. This layout was inspired by http://www.moments-of-tranquility.com. I just love her work and her tutorials are get too. Please check Natasha's work.

National Scrapbooking Day

Oh what fun we had for National Scrapbooking Day. My favourite store, Marchant's Paper Memories, had a huge celebration crop. It was so much fun. I did five complete pages. That's huge for me.With the help of a few other tutorials from my favourite bloggers I was able to show off my talent. LOL The lacing on the first page and the heart one the last page were from http://mymomentsoftranquility.blogspot.com. Just follow the tutorial links. The flowers on the last page were once again from http://gabriellepollacco.blogspot.com. I love to make my own flowers and embellishments. Thank you ladies for your tutorials.

Spring Card Exchange

I'm so excited about the card exchange at my favourite Scrapbooking store. It's not until April 30 but I have my 20 cards finished already. I can't wait to find out what all the others have done. It's always so much fun to be with other people who have the same interests as you.

Well I finished it. I made the flowers from a tutorial I saw on http://www.gabriellepollacco.blogspot.com/

I love her layouts. I had a great time making these flower as I find it more creative to make embellishments then to use ready made ones.

It's a cold a dreary day here in Kingston. So it's a good day to try something new. So I found a tutorial on making my own flowers. It's a water distress method. I'm having a wonderful time making these flowers for a glimmer mist page for my Mom. I have even used my Silhouette finally. I will have to get more time in with this machine, it does so much. Thank you to Gabrielle Pollacco for the tutorial... Have a great day where ever you are..
