I had bought a new stamp the other day but was really to busy to try it out right away. So I tossed it onto my Desk and sorta forgot about it. Shortly afterward I was sorting thru photos to use with some of the page kits I recieved for IT. I came across some photos I had taken at a Build-A-Bear Party for Raye's best friend. The colors in the photos were a perfect fit for one of the page kits. I had been dying to scrap these photos for a while so the layout came together pretty easy. Except I kept coming up with a "blank" space on the page. Just as I was about to give up,, I spotted my new stamp. I felt the dragon on the stamp matched the Hippo Raye made at Build-A-Bear, so I started to stamp and color and voila! It all came together and my new stamp was a perfect fit .

opps I think we killed her!

One of the 8 rinks we built

Ok so I have not posted in a while, but I do have a good reason. ( it is also my reason for not calling friends or family). Abbout 4 months ago 4 of us were asked to put toghether a pond hockey tourny. So we said yes. Hmmmmmmm, hindsight says "not so smart". We had to build 8 rinks (140 X 80) on the lake. this consited of 8 men 2 children and myself. After sevral cups of tim's and a cold afternoon we got it done. We planed built and put together a tourny that brought 18 teams to Alix to play on the lake for the day. We estimated having over 1500 hundred people on the ice at any given time. Everyone enjoyed the dat and we are still recieving many thanks and praise for a job well done. We have also recieved many emails to say " thanks we enjoyed the day and hope to do it again". So now I plan to get back to Scrapbooking, and hopefully posting on time.

Ok, Week 2, so far so good. I think I am getting the hang of things. Still not sure how to add links to other blogs yet. So as promised here is a look at some of what I have done so far. Also a pic from Christmas. This past week has been pretty good (minus the bad news). My darling husband was sent for a gift certificate ( from Pages In Time) for my helper. It was her 16th birthday. And he came home with a present for me!! It was a new cd for my Pazzels Inspriation cutter. The CD is the paper lace designs. Wow is it ever nice, and yes I used it in my mini book already. I hope to have pics of it later, for now everyone will have to go to Pages in Time at the end of the month to see it. Well thats all for this week, I now have a sick child to take care of ( on top of my sinus infection). When it rains it pours!

YES YES YES I did it. I finally uploaded a picture! Ok this pic is my DT kit for the month. (I am currently on a design team with Pages In Time , Stettler Alberta). I spoke with Stacey ( our fearless leader) before opening my kit, she had made a comment on how I tend to put purple with everything. It's my favorite color, anyway when I opened my kit there was purple on just about everything! :). So my goal is to hopefully post my progress of my kit week to week. Although this morning we are not off to a good start, Rick's uncle passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. So I am off to be with my wonderful husband.
