Happy 18th Birthday Kandy!

My little sister-in-law turns 18 today! Holy Macaroni!! That means we have NO MORE children in our family!! YIKES!!

I made her this funky little card...

 
 I love the buttons!!! (Thanks Karen!)

I used double sided paper I bought at Costco last year in a value pack (gotta love Costco!), and Creative Memories stickers, as well as a couple buttons I got in a little surprise package from Karen at Lasting Memories. Easy, easy, easy card... and I like how it turned out!

Happy Birthday Girly!

Happy Birthday TO ME!!!

Yes, today I turn old. Ugh.

Since it is my birthday, I thought I would take you down memory lane to experience all of my past birthdays... well up until I turned 17 anyway. I guess I stopped having birthday's after I went off to university. These are some of my VERY early scrapbooking pages...  from close ot ten years ago! Actually I had originally started scrapping these when I was about 10 or 11... and hated the pages so much that a few years later I re-did them into what you see now. You can see my style evolving every year...

As you will see in the next few layouts... my Dad's favourite thing to do is take a picture of you while you are still sleeping on your birthday morning. The entire family then clamours in and sings happy birthday. A rude awakening, but you have to smile anyway. Glad I don't live at home anymore. :)

I was obsessed with SpongeBob for a few years... oh the fun!

And there you have it...me every year until I was 17. We'll just leave it at that...17 was a good year.

Happy Birthday Hubby!

Last year this was our LAST day of holidays at the Meziadin, and this year it is our FIRST day!!! See you in a few weeks!!!



Last year on this day, we were camping at the Meziadin River... far away from anyone. Kurt was out on the water fishing by the time the sun woke up... I got some beautiful pictures; living the dream. This was our last day of holidays, so we decided to head over to Stewart and Hyder, Alaska for the day. We even went out for Kurt's favourite food, pizza. It had been raining for the last few days, but it was an absolutely gorgeous day. We had to pack up and head home (drive all the nest day...)to be back for work (I had to work on my birthday!), but we basked in that last day of freedom for as long as we could. It was truly lovely and worth every moment.

Here is Kurtis out in the water fishing, and then some glorious pictures from our drive that day. Below are some pictures from Stewart (left) and Hyder, Alaska (right). What a crazy little village! Very neat to visit, though we didn't stay very long. I still need to journal these pages...

Happy Birthday my Love!

More BIRTHDAY layouts!!

It is still July, and that means it is still birthday month... we are counting down till we are old! Yikes!!

So, I thought I would share a few more birthday layouts. These ones are a bit more 'mature' themed than the last ones... actually not more mature...just OLDER people!! :) Enjoy!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to all my JULY BUDDIES!!!

It's BIRTHDAY MONTH!!

July is Birthday month in my family... Hubby and I, my sister, Hubby's Grandpa, my Grandpa, good friends... the birthdays are never ending! With that in mind, I thought it was the appropriate time to share some past layouts of BIRTHDAYS!!!

Here are a few examples of KIDS birthday party pages I have done...

I love this pink from Creative Memories, and this was my very last piece... so I used every scrap! I really like how the chunks that had circles cut out of them fit into the page... very different anyway, and super cute! I hate to waste!

Happy Birthday to all you JULY babies!! We have another little cousin due here ANY DAY!! YAY!!

 

Also... I got my hair cut last night!! It feels SOOOOO good to have it shorter again!!! 

 What do you think!?!? :)
