Pyrus Collection from Basic Grey

My scrapbook page is a layout dear to my heart, of my Daughter-in-law, Grandson and my Son.

 This landscape Fall scene photo,  was the perfect picture for the Pyrus Basic Grey Paper.   On my layout I used paper from the collection pack, chip stickers, epoxy stickers and the paper ribbons all from the Pyrus Basic Grey Line...

Be sure to stop by Scrapbooking Fanatics for more of the

Basic Grey collection lines.

Blogger's Challenge - Sketch Challenge

Hello to Shadesofstamping readers, Iam posting for Bloggers Challenge, which is late...

Lisa gave us a sketch to follow.  Take a tour HERE and see what the other players created.

I love this line of stamps from Stampotique, " Queen of Life"...We are all queens of somthing.
The backgrounds on my cards are  various methods  using a variety of  mediums from Technique Junkies Newsletter:  Glimmer Mist Water Color Art - April/May 2010, Worn Wallpaper - Aug/Sept 2010. 
I masked the image and sponged with an array of different colors of Tim Holtz Distress Inks.  The embossed background was done with Tim Holtz Texture Fades Folder called " Patchwork".

Hello to my fellow readers, it is already Friday and time for Blogger's Challenge. List Mom, Lisa Somerville, gave us this photo to use as our inspriation.  Be sure to click on this link HERE and see what other challeng players created.  I love this photo, because it left it wide open with such a wonderful range of colors.  Imagine having this bedroom!!!

This scrapbook page is of my son and my two grandchildren... There is nothing like scrapbooking these warm moments captured in a photo.
The patterned paper is from the Harmonie product line.  I love how this these papers they seem to work with a variety of theme pages.

My last scrapbook page is of my father holding his greatgrandaughter, a proud moment for grandpa. Two babies born this year in my family; again, I am truly blessed..and a very good reason to buy more scrapbooking goodies.
The Patterned Paper on this layout is from Harmonie and the coral eyelet trim is from Websters Pages. I adhered stones into the centre of the eyelet holes...The large flower is from Prima: Fairyring - Coral Reef. I wanted to integrate some color to compliment my grandaughter's outfit. I sprayed the reverse side (white) of a Basic Grey Doilie with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist Spray: Patina, what a perfect match. Jounaling fonts were diecut from my Cricut Expression Machine.

CANADA DAY PARADE IN WEYBURN, SASKATCHEWAN CANADA 2002

Finally, I am able to post to my blog, we have storms in surrounding areas and the internet is not working properly.   I am a little late for blogger's challenge.  This week, list mom Lisa Somerville, gave us challenge theme to create something "Patriotic".  I  had these parade pictures forever and decided to scrap them for the challenge. The photos depict what my sentiments are for Canada Day.  I like to reflect on the people who built this land and our country roots; with a dash of a  little Canadian humour. (eh!)

It is as " Grandmothers " that our mothers come into the fullness of their grace

Christopher Morley

Hello fellow bloggers and readers. Yes it is Friday already and that means Blogger's Challenge time. Take a gander over HERE to feast your eyes on the different interpretations of this sketch, given to us by the group's list mom, Lisa Somerville.

As you can see, I wandered off a bit from the sketch, that's me...The background that the photo is placed on, started to be a card and I was not happy with it...Off to never, never land and it became a Scrapbook Page.

I am especially proud of this layout; as it showcases my very young -looking and I might add energetic mother...Who by the way, can work circles around anyone of us.

The patterned paper is from the Kioshi Collection Pack by Basic Grey. The Chip Stickers and Epoxy Stickers are also from the Kioshi Basic Grey line. The aqua blue photo matt, and large white journaling letters were die-cut from my Cricut Expression Machine using the StoryBook cartridge.

All of the products used on this layout are from a store, which I am proud to be a designer for: Scrapbookingfanatics.

Jayme Loge is the owner and a hard working gal who runs a tight ship. Jayme is a writer for the magazine, Canadian Scrapbooker.
