The Arts and Crafts House

Happy Friday All! What a gorgeous day to kick off the weekend :)

Is anyone headed up to Kitchener this weekend to attend Scrapfest?

I've never gone and still haven't made up my mind whether or not to go tomorrow.

But if you are planning on attending, make sure you stop by Lesley's booth.

As some of you may already know, Lesley and her husband, Mark, have been working like mad to set up their new venture ...

... The Arts and Crafts House ... a weekend scrapbooking retreat located in Brantford!

Be sure to visit the website for accommodation information and their Facebook Page for updates.

If you're at Scrapfest this weekend, Lesley has a wonderful prize up for grabs ...

Lesley will also be doing a quick little make and take using some of my favorite Unity Stamps.

She may even have home baked treats to share ;)

Hope you all enjoy your weekends :)

March Kits

So ... a little late getting this posted, but considering that they were almost sold out on the first day, I've kind of let it go until now.

It seems as if my local customers have fully jumped on the kit bandwagon. I suppose it helps that they get to see everything first hand.

Both sides of the kit this month were all about My Mind's Eye. They have been consistantly putting out fantastic lines over the past few years, and the latest releases did not disappoint.

"Sweet Love" sold out immediately ...

It contained beautiful papers from My Mind's Eye ("Follow Your Heart", "Miss Caroline" and "Everyday Fun" lines) and Kaisercraft "Sweet Nothings".

An exclusive embellishment included in the kit was the trio of wood hearts created for us by a local craftsman. Look for more custom embellishments in future kits ;)

"Wander" also contains many papers from the My Mind's Eye lines and Kaisercraft "Hunt & Gather" ...

I've included a little hand-stamped tag with trim ...

And you also receive an Itty Bitty from Unity Stamp Co. ...

Check the website for a full list of kit contents. Only two of these left!

And be sure to visit this month's gallery. So many beautiful creations :)

March Kits

Only 2 days left until the March Reveal!
How about a few sneaks from Sarah until then ...

I'm excited to see what everyone thinks of these kits :)

I'm also very much looking forward to the product I have arriving today ... loads of new Bo Bunny, October Afternoon, Best Creation and Moxxie. Paper, paper, paper.

Have a great day!

More January Projects

Hi All! Just a quick update regarding the next kit ...
I had hoped to maybe have a mid-month release (meaning this week), but it looks as if we'll have to wait until March 1st for the next kit. I've been waiting on several items to arrive to complete the kits and I want to give Sarah and Lesley a bit of time to work with them before they're revealed. But trust me ... it will be worth the wait :) Lots of new My Mind's Eye in these ones.
Until then, I thought I'd share some of my January projects ...

I kept starting the journaling for this one, but I think I'll add it later and stick it in behind the photo. For the most part, I try to include the journaling as a page element, but there is so much going on that it just looked cluttered when I tried to add it in.

I'm on a real "title on the photo" kick this month ...

All of the supplies for this layout are from the "Live in the Moment" kit but I wanted to add the bird stickers from the "Little House" kit. The colour on the birds was a little too yellow for the layout so I added some orange via Copic marker until I was happy with the match.
