One of my goals for 2014 was to take a photo a day of everyday moments at home with the kids. January came and went and I had yet to begin the project! Part way through February I discovered the Collect App – a … Continue reading

The one thing I have complained about all year is the terrible pictures my camera takes! Do you know how hard it is to make a nice layout with crummy photos? Well, let’s just say it is not any fun!! So my wonderful husband searched all the Boxing Day deals and bought me a new camera. We now have the Canon Rebel T3i and I am in love with it. I barely know how to use it but the pictures it takes are amazing!! I am excited to scrapbook one again now that I have some great photos to work with. Here is a layout of a photo I took with Robyn and her Grandpa Kennedy:

Thanks to everyone who is supporting me on this new venture! I am working on some new photo book designs that I hope will be done in January. I also have some exciting new ideas brewing in my head that I want to get started on, so please check back in the New Year for updates.
Earlier this year one of my scrapbook pages was accepted for publishing in Canadian Scrapbooker. This was the first time I have ever submitted my work to a magazine and I was thrilled when it was accepted. The magazine just hit the shelves yesterday and I am super excited! It is a winter themed page that features the photography of my sister-in-law, Amber, when she and her husband were visiting a few years ago.

I was selected as a finalist in the Stampin’ Up My Digital Studio contest. I had to create a card and a scrapbook page and was 1 of 10 finalists chosen from thousands of entries in Canada and U.S. I would love to show you the entries, but they are now property of Stampin’ Up and I am not allowed to post them. I was very proud of my entry and was honoured to be chosen as a finalist. Unfortunately the winners were decided by voting on mydigitalstudio.net, and I was out by just 8 votes! Thank you to everyone who voted for me and I still get to walk away with $125.00 in downloads.
