Well hello there.
I hope you are all having a great long weekend if you're here in Canada?
It's like the calm before the storm.......the last day of freedom before a new school year starts, although it could be the other way around, with today being a little busy and not so calm.......laundry, packing backpacks, lunch planning.
I'm hoping 9.30am tomorrow will bring some much awaited peace and serenity!
We had a great week last week........the Morgan's survived their first camping expedition. The weather was fabulous considering the initial gloomy forecast and even the puppy had oodles of fun digging the same hole on the beach 20 times over!
Here's a little snapshot of his usual pose after the digging!
It's a hard life!
Anyhow, back to some crafty stuff and I'm starting today with a layout from another Two Scrapbook Friends DT Kit, this time using the 'Ahoy There' collection from Carta Bella.
This company always produces awesome quality patterned papers........the kind you like to run your fingers over constantly (or is that just me?!)
This line is no different, and together with a fabulous nautical colour scheme, hopefully it's a recipe for success!
My first page captures our family memories of a year ago, when we were fortunate enough to visit the 'Tall Ships' docked in Hamilton harbour.
Not quite so surprisingly entitled.......Tall Ships!
I'm not 100% sure if I like this one. It's rather busy and I tend to shy away from busy. I guess I'm out of practice when it comes to scrapping 5 photo's on a page.
I did have loads of useful stickers to make use of on here, starting with a perfect banner for the theme of this page.....
........and a few more down here, alongside brass eyelets and fixtures, which seemed to be called for.
A wooden nautical star from my stash.....perfect, and I designed and cut the 'family' photo mat using my Silhouette.
Finally, the title.......a combination of another Silhouette cut, together with more alpha stickers.
Well that's just about all for that, but I do have a Sketch for you.
Enjoy your day and I'll see you Wednesday,

Hello all.
Thank goodness it's Friday and I have a day off.........well almost - the 3rd load of laundry is in the dryer, one more in the washing machine and I'm just about to start prepping dinner.
Time to take a break though for one little blog post.
Another layout just for fun and this one's a double! Yep definitely got my quota of doubles in this year........anymore than one does it for me!
This one's been gathering dust since the Spring so it's about time it made an appearance:
Day At The Museum
Everything's pretty self explanatory - no rocket science going on here so I'm not going to bore you with details.
Just a few close-ups........
Papers are from the 'Family Ties' collection by Pebbles.
Time for me to move on to dinner preparations......beef stew........hey it's snowing out so it couldn't be anything else!
Have a great weekend and I'll see you on Monday,

Hi there, thanks for dropping in.
I have a double page for you today.......yes ANOTHER double that I created, and it's only January! This means I probably only have to do one more this year to double my usual quota.
In all fairness though, this was again another layout I started at the very end of my scrappy weekend in November, and I finally decided to finish it last night.
The wait must have been worth it because I am happy with it at least........makes a change for any double I scrap.
So here goes with 'The Sugar Bush'.
Layout inspiration for this one came from a Pagemaps sketch.
The papers I used on here, from Authentique's 'Thankful' collection are technically Fall themed and this layout is not.......as you can see it's more Spring related (well a cold, maple syrup season, Canadian style Spring!) but I love the rich earthy colours and knew they'd work perfectly with the Kraft background.
I had to get some more of those wooden veneers that I'm lovin on there.........
............and another in the form of a word, layered on rolls of patterned paper.
I die cut a few tree branches to create 'the bush', then used my Dymo labeller together with Tim Holtz Kraftcore cardstock for the journalling strips.
And that just about does it!
I'll be back on Friday with a cute card, so till then, be safe out there,
Jayne.x.
