Busy, Busy, Busy, BUSY!

Holy cow batman - I didn't realize how busy my scrappy life has become!! By no means am I complaining!! Its just crazy how I've gone from nothing a little less than 2 years ago to all the amazing Design Teams I can proudly say I am working with and designing for now.

I completely forgot to post my latest projects from Bo Bunny!! (oops) I was so excited/ overwhelmed when I received my 'box' last week that I immediately got to work and completed some cards, an altered project and even a few layouts!! The new lines from Summer CHA are totally drool-worthy!!!! Let's take a peek at the Olivia Collection first.

Firstly I'd just like to say that I normally DON'T do cards - HATE them!! I don't know what it is, but I'll seriously sit for HOURS trying to figure out papers, design and take FOREVER to create a card and once I'm finished - still don't like it. I do however, like this card (eventhough it took me almost 2 HRS to complete!!!)

Funny thing: while I was killing myself over my first card, I was kind of doing this second card at the same time. Using some bits and pieces, scraps from the first card. It took a lot less time and still has those rich, fall colours. (still don't like doing cards...)

Vintage box that I picked up from Jysk for $5.00!! Loved it so much - such a neat shape but kind of boring.

Added some Bo Bunny love and voila! LOVE the rich colours of this line - totally perfect for fall projects! The colours are just so vibrant.

Are we loving Olivia??

Be back tomorrow with my first layout using the Learning Curve Collection. See you then!

Congratulations! Please send me an email so I can get your goodies off to you ASAP! (torrjorr{@}shaw.ca) (sorry, just trying to prevent spammers...)

Anyhow, I was thinking, I really enjoyed reading all of your wonderful comments and having only 1 winner just doesn't seem... fair. It's such a cool idea 'giving back/sharing the love' so I've decided that a blog giveaway a little more often is a really good idea. What do you think? Let's say end of September we'll aim for another okay?

Thanks again to all you wonderful people who keep me motivated and inspired to do what I love so much!! HUGS!

Here's another project to share with you today. My dd simply adores her swing - ADORES! She would SERIOUSLY swing on it ALL DAY if she could.

I chose to use chocolate coloured pearl flourishes from ZVA Creative as they coordinated so well with the soft tones in the photos and papers by My Mind's Eye - Lush Collection. These gorgeously vintage and shabby papers were part of the September Kit from Scrap That! Kit Club.

Of course, my crochet doily found its way onto this layout - they just can't stay away from me - LOL!


Thanks so much for the visit. Much appreciated!
