1st 2012 Christmas Card (Bo Bunny Sketch Challenge)

Every year i take a resolution to not wait until the last minute to start making my Christmas cards, and alas, every year i break that resolution!  hehehe

The idea for this card came to me totally randomly as i was not in a Holiday creative mood at all.  I just spent about an hour looking through my extensive BoBunny stash, wondering what papers to use to participate in the current BoBunny Card Challenge when the gorgeous Snowfall collection (one of my all-time favorites!) caught my eye.  I had put my leftovers away last Winter to make room for all the gorgeous new Spring and Summer collections.

I used this sketch from the challenge as inspiration:

Now here's to hoping that making this card will get me crackin' on all the other Christmas cards i have to make before December rolls around!  

Thank you BoBunny for the inspiration! :)

Simon Says... Put a Stamp on It Challenge!

This month, the Simon Says Stamp blog is having a Stamptember celebration with a fabulous blog hop and challenge every week!

To celebrate with them, i created this card using a Inkadinkado clear stamp and some leftover KaiserCraft paper.

Hope you enjoy!

I haven't been updating much this Summer, but now that it's coming to a close, i am hoping to be able to start creating again on a more regular basis, so keep visiting for new posts and projects to come! :)

On The Road Again (SIWAS DT Reveal)

I bet that most of you have sang the chorus of this song at one point or another, driving in your car!  ha!

Willie Nelson's "On the Road Again" is the next track on this month's Scrap It with a Song playlist.

To see what my fellow Rock Chicks created inspired by this infamous song and to find out how you can play along, visit SIWAS right now!

For my layout, i used some very special pictures of my cousin Stephanie and her husband Daniel while they were driving cross-country from New Brunswick to British Columbia back in the Summer of 2009.  They created a blog and documented their entire trip for their family and friends with numerous pictures from one camp site to another and from province to province, all across Canada.  What a spectacular and memorable experience this trip was for them, and i am happy to document a little piece of it for them in my own way.

You will have probably recognized the Ad Lib collection from BoBunny.  What a fun colorful line that was (and still is)!  Can you believe that i had it in my stash since its reveal almost 2 years ago and had never used it?!  It was about time! :)

Have you gone on any special roadtrip this Summer???  If so, make sure to scrapbook your photos using this week's inspiration at Scrap It with a Song!

Scrap It With a Song "500 Miles"

Just a quickie to share with you the 3rd Track on the Scrap It with a Song playlist for August.  Make sure to visit the SIWAS blog to see the Pop Gals's DT reveal and learn how to participate.

Inspiration this week comes from The Procclaimers's "500 Miles"

What a catchy tune!  Every time i hear this song, i cannot help but sing along to it, as loud as i can.  It just the perfect Happy Go Lucky song, and the lyrics would look so nice on a layout.  I didn't have time to play along with the Pop Gals this week, but i am definitely adding this to my 'To Scrapbook' list! :)
