What to do with....

All those miscellaneous chipboard pieces! I am a chipboard addict...yes, I'll admit it, I love chipboard - I cover it with paper, paint in, ink it and hoard it. Recently I was challenged to make a mini album with pieces of it and found that I now have a new addiction - no, not just mini albums but mini albums made with different shapes together! Here are a few pages of my inspiration album!

Hello Everyone!

Well.. the Creative Expo was a lot of fun (and a lot of work!) and worth every minute. We are now going to have to get busy and update the Dragonfly Scrapbooking website as the sale items just flew off the table and out of the boxes! Kits went too which was a nice surprise. Thanks Colleen for letting me 'play' with you and help at the store!

Time Flies!

When you're having fun....and it's fun I've been having creating some things for the creative expo starting on November 7 at Canada Place... here are some sneak peeks!

First Haircut

Here's a recent layout...my grandson's first haircut - using some of the older Basic Grey paper... and chipboard lettering. I am a Basic Grey fan and find it hard to use, I love it all so much!

It's Saturday Night

I am taking a small break from my scrap table right now... I've just about got the whole room messed up and think it's time to get busy cleaning it up! Do any of you find that you can only get so far and then you have to clean up before the inspiration hits you again? I am constantly reorganizing and finding new things... old ones really and that brings me to another dilemma... to use up my stash or to horde it and buy new things!?

How many of you have a horrendous stash? And what do you find yourself 'saving' to use for that perfect photo!? I'm a chipboard junkie myself and have drawers and drawers of it... I just need that perfect photo... ha ha ha!

A Busy Time!

Between holidays I've been busy scrapbooking and creating mini books for the upcoming "BC Creative Expo at Canada Place in Vancouver on November 7 & 8. Dragonfly Scrapbooking will be there and so will I... I'd love to meet any of you living in the area (no, I don't own the store!). There will be a make and take and lots of interesting things to browse through. Here is part of a little project that will probably be a kit:

I love this Sonoma line from Scenic Route - the colors are a little more vibrant than in this photo and there are lots of different double sided papers in the collection.

BC Crop For Kids

What a great time we had! I even managed to get some layouts done... here they are, although, I am not the best photographer!!

Page one and two of a double pager! I entered these into a contest for Canadian Scrapbooker magazine... they didn't get picked but that's not why I scrap so it wasn't a problem - it was just fun to do. I made the cat 3D as well as the grass is a bit loose in spots in case I want to add photos later.
This is the Basic Grey Archaic paper - I just love it, there are dinosaurs and rocks - it's just fun to work with! It would make great birthday cards and invitations.

This one will get 'tweaked' a little - it's going to be put into a frame.

Isn't he just a little devil!?!

3rd birthday... I love this line of paper.

Something a little simple...I only had a couple of photos for this layout. I just painted a chipboard heart in black to match the theme!
Once upon a time...there was a little girl...and she was me! ha ha ha! I entered this into a stamping contest at the crop - again...not a winner!!
