Backyardigan Season Begins...

Yaaa!!!  May 24 Weekend and the weather was pretty much perfect!  I spent some time cleaning up my gardens and then took time to sit out and enjoy them.  I love my little backyard oasis.  It may be small and underwhelming to some... but it's just right for me.  When I am out there, it's as if nothing else exists beyond my fence.

The Scrapping Bug - May Sneak Peek

So this is my first Reveal as a Designer for The Scrapping Bug.  I used the acrylic journaling tag set and added more pages using supplies from my May kit to create this mini book about things that 'Make Me Happy'.  I plan to keep it on my desk at work.  On those days that are 'less than perfect' I will look at my book to remind me of the many blessings in my life :)

Supplies List:  

Acrylic journaling tag set - Maya Road; Patterned Paper - Pink Paislee, JilliBean, October Afternoon, Crate Paper; Cardstock - Bazzill; Flowers - Prima; Letters - My Little Shoebox, Maya Road; Punch - Martha Stewart (crab); Stamps - Pink Paislee, Studio Calico; Ink - ColorBox; Misc - Ribbon, Hot Dog on 2nd-last page created by me with cardstock, my trusty scissors, ink and a little ol' imagination :)

I created this l/o for a Shelley's May 1st sketch challenge of The Scrapping Bug forum.

Fun times at the KOF

Well, it's been another busy, busy week at the new building - KOF (Kitchener Operations Facility).  We took a bit of time out today for a little fun.  The cafeteria was full at lunchtime as we celebrated the new site and all of our accomplishments in getting there.  First we had a Pizza Party, and then it was time for the real fun - Pies in the Faces of management.  Hmm... if you ended up having a lot of pies thrown at you, does that mean you're popular or not???

Isn't He Pretty?

I've had this layout created for a few days, but with such a busy schedule this week... I haven't been home during daylight hours to take a picture!!!  Finally this morning I opened the blinds and took a couple of pics of it before leaving for work.  It was still a little dark, but the colouring isn't too bad.

Journaling reads:  this is the penalty for showing up late for work at the Patch!

Design Team Member

Guess who was selected to be a Design Team member for The Scrapping Bug in Kitchener?? That's right - yours truly! I am so freakin' excited, I can hardly contain myself :) I picked up my kit on Saturday - it's amazing. I can't wait to get cracking on this one. I hope I can impress.

Scrapfest 2011 - Posing with the Fancy Pants'

Avril and I were so excited to win these girly aprons from Mr. & Mrs. Fancy Pants themselves. I got mine for guessing the colour of Mrs. Fancy Pants' car.... ORANGE :) Denise actually won the one that Avril has on, but she gave it to Avril after I won mine - 'cuz it's just not her thing. Yaaa us!!!
