Congrats!

We had lots of (much needed) rain over the weekend, so I did manage a bit of time in my scrap space! But I also managed to get some housework done, visit some friends and check out the NEW Stampin Up Catalogue, go on two (damp but awesome) hikes - one with my boys, cook a nice dinner and finally on Sunday evening, get in the garden and get most of my veggies planted. Now THAT was a productive weekend!!!

Below is the inside of one of the Grad cards I made. I need several this year. We have friends graduating from University - one is now a medical resident in Psychiatry, and other is a Teacher and Historian and is now going on to complete his second Masters degree in Archives. My eldest son graduates from Grade 8 along with another family friend. And a close family friend is graduating from high school and going into Accounting. Lots of transition around here!

This card is for The Paper Players - tic tac toe challenge - I used the row the includes: yellow, masculine and embossing.

I would also like to share at Make My Monday Challenge where the theme for this week is "Graduation."

So glad you stopped by today!

Happy Saturday! We have had some rain these last couple of days so things are looking nice and green! I have some gardening to do, but if the rain keeps up, I might just manage some time in my scrap room this weekend, fingers crossed! :)

I would like to share at:
Little Red Wagon where the challenge is Round and Round. I managed a few circles on this one, lol
and
Cute Card Thursday - holidays/vacation - planning lots of camping for our vacation this summer :)

Thanks for visiting,

We have lots of spring Birthdays in our family, so I was thrilled when this CAS card idea popped into my head while working on my niece's Baby album (see previous post for the title page). It seems I forgot to photograph the inside.

I would like to share at The Challenge #74 - Masculine Inspiration Challenge

Looking forward to a short work week after a productive and enjoyable May long weekend!

Cheers,
Shanna :)

Hooray, I am an Auntie again - this time it's a Girl!!! This is the first child for my youngest brother and his wife.

Here is the title page for her album. Isn't her name just lovely? My sister and I created this album together. I will share the rest of the photos in a separate post.

She was born a couple of weeks early on April 18th. I flew home to meet her and to help throw her a Shower last weekend. She is gorgeous and perfect and Mommy and Daddy are doing well. Pretty Wow to see my Baby Brother become a Dad! 

Once I decided that I was going for a visit, I decided to bring my boys as well, but kept it a secret until we arrived, so they got to meet their brand new cousin too! 

Thanks so much for visiting!
