I was lucky enough to go for a creative weekend at NavCan. After packing lightly for the first time ever - and thanks to the discovery of the page kits - I was more productive than I have ever been at any other crop. Because I had to use what I had an there were no embellishments to sort through or ribbons to chose from, I completed 7 single layouts and 1 double. That left me with 2 page kits that didn't get completed. Not too bad, all in all ... or I don't think, at least. While my layouts have the simple look, I can't believe how time consuming most of them were. Between the double page taking me all Friday night and a few that took a couple hours each due to time consuming elements, I wasn't as productive as I had hoped but alas ... I am not complaining. I also could have produced on more layout Sunday afternoon but I made a family bracelet with the goodies I had ordered from Marlene the week before. It is simple but effective.
"For the Love of Dogs"
"Then & Now"
"1000 Islands"
"Life is not a destination, but a journey"
"The Good Life"
{one of the time consuming ones no thanks to the hand embroidered dog house}
"Friends"
{product challenge with Tanya}
"Play"
"Canon Girl"
{another time consumer. lots of pictures to cut, organize and prioritize. 'canon' was originally white then hand coloured using india ink and a nib pen. letters covered in glossy accents}
Tanya & I late Saturday nights
{wow - this puts a whole new perspective my hair issues.}
So there you have it. My weekend of creating. If it wasnt for the fact that we are still having issues with our plumbling, I would have hauled out that last page kit and created it. Instead, I crawled into bed at 8:30 and laid their in silence until midnight-ish. Tanya currently has the photo of my family bracelet so you will just have to peek back in at a later day.
Happy Family Day.

Awesome production Melly! Love the hand embroidery! I'm glad that you found your groove back during the weekend. :)
Love your layouts! And the making the kits for yourself - that is what I did when I went to NavCan too - it forces me to just use what I brought, and stick to the plan...otherwise I would just spend all my time looking thru my paper and embellies and thinking how pretty everything was and never getting anything done!
It's great to hear you had a good time!
WOW! Mell!
you are back~!
Congratulations on the page kits! looks like you were productive! so happy that you and tanya + the girls had a good weekend! Enjoy your week - sorry that you had yet again some problems with your plubling.... shhhhhh
