Heidi Swapp.....where do i start?

This woman has a very cool sense of style! She knows exactly what to create and I love it all! We worked with rub-ons, masks, florals and tons more. She has a new patterned paper line coming out as well. She is very cool nd I loved meeting her and chatting with her. She was very down to earth!

I know it looks like I ate her for breakfast! She was much smaller than me and after seeing the photo and that my "ta-ta's" were knocking her out, I need to get back to the gym! I think I need to go blonde again. Not a ton but more than I am now.
What do you think? You be the judge!

Planing and more planning....

Well we are in the works for planning a few of our events and also other events in and around the city. We will be at:

Scrapbook for Scouts (March)
Fundraiser Crop For Breast Cancer (April)
Love 2 Scrap Spring Retreat (April)
Scrapfest (September)
Love 2 Scrap Fall Retreat (October)

Lots of planning.....doing workshops and meeting new people. What kinds of workshops would you want to see? What kinds of make n' takes?


We are starting to register for our fall retreat May 1st so check out our web site at http://love2scrap.ca fo more info. They are always a lot of fun!



Just rented some movies.....Walk the Line with my guy (LOL), Joaquin! and In Her Shoes with Cameron Diaz and Toni Collette. I have seen both shows in the theatre but loved them both! I recommend them both if you haven't seen them.

Scrapbook.....Have a few new ideas!

After chatting with Stacy Julian I have come up with some different ideas of what I want to scrapbook. I have never been all about just scrapbooking my kids. I jump all over the place and NEVER scrapbook chronologically. I do whatever is in my heart or what I feel like at the time. Well, I have got two mini albums on the go of which I will post when I am done them. One is The People I Love and the other is The Places I Love. I was totally inspired to do these. So that is my new challenge to myself. It shouldn't be too hard. I also want to create one that is All About Me. I know that may sound a bit self-centered but really those are for me anyways.


I am going to Janna's tonight to scrapbook and chat about DT stuff. Should be fun. I have never scrapbooked at crazy Janna's house before. Janna is the one on the right and Rhonda Birkoben is the one on the right. They are both such a hoot!

I forgot to mention that I ordered 2 pairs of Crocs from http://crocs.com and was told they were shipped via FedEx today so I can't wait to get them. I ordered the Breast Cancer Pink ones and pir of Lime Green ones (different style). I am set for my trip in May now!

I love this photo of Joaquin.....

Okay did I say I just LOVE HIM?????

I can't believe it....

I met Heidi Swapp, Stacy Julian , Wendy Johnson (creator of The Joy of Card Making magazine from Paper Crafts) and some other cool people.

Heidi Swapp was so cool and cute! We did a cool file folder creation with her. I will post as soon as I am finished. It was a lot of fun! She gave us fuzzy rub-ons to use, chipboard, masks and so much more. She was telling us how she came up with the Lipshine lipgloss. She said everyone needs lipgloss when they have their picture taken. I won an iron in her door prize. Man was I psyched!

Stacy Julian...you don't know Stacy from photos until you meet her. She was one of the most down to earth, friendly people I have ever met. Talking to her, you forget she is a scrapbook celebrity and feel like you have known her for years. She has some great insight into scrapbooking and I highly recommend her "Big Picture" philosophy and book. She has amazing ideas! You should check it out.

I came home with so much loot! I had a blast! I created a lot of cool projects and had a lot of fun meeting some new and exciting people! Janna (L2S Design Team & friend) came with me. We had a blast! Janna even got our friend Elizabeth's book signed by Stacy Julian! It was cute. Stacy enjoyed haring about Elizabeth and checking out all her flags in the book.

I can't wait until the summer to go again!

Happy Birthday Mom!

It is my Mom's birthday today so have a great birthday Mom!

Okay I am just getting ticked. I have tried numerous times to add photos here, have change the links and they how in the html and show my profile including picture and it won't work. I have tried the help section and none of the areas they say to look for are here. PLEASE HELP before I go insane!!

Man, I am tired.....

Well I should be getting to bed.....It is 11 p.m. and I have a busy day with bowling with the kids in the a.m. and then a crop from 11 a.m.-10 p.m.

We are organizing "Scrappin For Scouts" in Edmonton right now as well. So anyone interested in that please check out our web site at http://freewebs.com/175scrappinforscouts/index.htm It is going to be a great weekend crop fundraiser with lots of make'n'take, workshops, prizes, goodie bags and more! If you live in the area you should come. Our Creative Design Member at L2S Janna Henke will be doing some workshops at the crop. You should come for those alone! She is a very talented lady! Details are on the web site.

Nikki (my bus. partner) and I have decided to do "Scrapfest" this year. So, we are going to have a booth there with our Creative Design Leader Corry Heinricks there. Can't wait to meet her in person. She will be doing make'n'takes at our booth and hopefully she can take some classes herself. Corry is pretty crafty and I am sure she will be doing some cool things at the show!
