Some of my weekend finds!

I took a trip to the "big city" this past weekend....SASKATOON! ooh, ahhh! 

I was able to spend the entire day to myself! No kids to chase, or to listen to wining! (Thanks Mom!!) I had a great visit with my sister and her family! (Love you guys!) And did some shopping of course! Here are some of the treasures I picked up along the way!

Winners find #1! I saw this beauty and my automatic thought kicks in and says, "hey, you can totally make that!" And then reality kicks in and says, "mmmm, ya, no!" So I picked this beauty up for $20!! It will be a beautiful addition to my Master Bedroom Makeover! (Spring 2015 project!)

Winners find #2! There were 2 of these boxes on the clearance racks; 1 was $15 and full of scratches, rips, and stains :( and this one was $12 and in pretty great condition! :D 

THIS. Love this! The photo does not do justice to the color of this treasure! :D My Mom-in-law's next door neighbour saw on Facebook that I was looking for old suitcases, she called me up to come see her before I left, and put this in my hand! THANK YOU SYLVIA!! :D

"Betty" & "Priscilla" Picked these fabulous doll stamps up from Bri's Scrapbook Therapy

AND OF COURSE.....Michaels Haul!!!! The nearest Michaels is 2 hours away from me, so I do try to make a point of going there when I can! I am using the 12 x 12 paper for my summer time album, and the 6 x 6 for my Fan Expo album.

Summer Birthdays...and a bit more!

Hello there! I am just arriving home after spending the last 2 weeks running around! I spent my birthday weekend in Saskatoon scrapbooking like mad! {YAHOO!} Arrived home last Monday, just to unpack/repack and head out to Good Spirit Lake! I love summer!

In June, we celebrated 2 outta 4 of my kiddos birthdays.

WARNING: Massive amounts of photos ahead!

The first one was A.J. who turned 5! 

The second party was for Khymara, who turned 8!

And as an added bonus! {hehe} Here are a few pics from my scrap-cation!

My Birthday Drink of choice for the weekend! Coffee, choco syrup, Baileys, peppermint extract, & whip cream! YUMMO!

Karen working like mad on her fabulous Florida project! This gal is so stinkin' creative!! Only she would think of using some Tim Holtz packaging to make a "Shadow Box" for a gigantic sea shell! <3

I created this image with some help from a page out of Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine . June 2013 ed.

Flowers add just that bit of charm! {Prima & BoBunny...I believe, don't quote me on that!}

I adore making tags! I like to re-use packaging from products {cardboard inserts, etc}

Inspiration for this was found here
...Dyan Reaveley . I have not yet purchased a stencil like this. So I decided at midnight to create one. I really liked how it turned out.

I love my mini canvas! Inspiration for this little guy {2x2" mini} can be found here

 INSPIRATION VID ^_^

Country Moose Scrap-N-Patch! I love this place that is tucked away in a small town called Laird, Sk!

Me & my scrappin' buddy Karen! {Creator & Owner of Country Moose Scrap-N-Patch}

And of course, a project is never finished without getting messy! Love sprays & inks!

Happy Hump Day!!!
