Mesmer "eyes"

Here is a layout that I did while at NavCan with my friends last weekend. The beautiful photo (photographed by Marlene - thank you) is of our puppy, Neely. Thank you to Stéphanie for the scraplift, glitter and pebeo, Karen for the flowers and Katie for lending out her title. (well used that weekend ... by Stéphanie also)

I have a few more projects to share and a couple on the go. Hopefully I will get back to my regular blogging before the craziness of the holiday season hits.

Never Too Old To Play Dress Up

"As the group of us sat around one Saturday evening, chatting and laughing, Stéphanie and I snuck off so she could try on my wedding dress. Veil, tiara and all, it made us very excited for the real deal. We just can't wait for the day."

Now, for a real scrapping treat, check out this amazing creation on Katie's blog.

Interrupting this regularly scheduled blog ...

to bring you photos of our new puppy.

NEELY

As many of you know, we lost our beloved Koda suddenly and tragically in May. Absolutely heartbrokem, Kevin so wanted another puppy when the opportunity presented itself. A dear friend promised Kevin pick of the litter. From 11 puppies, (yes, poor Maggie had to have a c-section because she was carrying 11 puppies), Kevin chose this sweet and lovable chocolate lab puppy. Known to us as Neely, he will be registered as Neely Von Bruin. (after Kevin's favourite Hockey player, Cam Neely who played for the Boston Bruins. Think he was a fan? lol)

We now return to our regularly scheduled blog!

:~)

PS - unbeknownst to me, my blog was set so that only registered users could leave comments.

Thanks for the tip, Tanya. I went in and changed it so anyone can leave comments now.

10 Things I Love About Us

I began this little mini-album back in May while at my bi-annual NavCan weekend with my Ya-Ya's and Ladybugs. Having only completed the cover plus 1-8, I finally finished the last few pages last night. I have to say that, although I enjoy scrapping 12x12, it is the smaller sizes and the mini projects that I truly find a sense of enjoyment from. Now, on to the next project ...

She - the big reveal

As per my 'Sneak Peek" post, here is the big reveal of the layout I did for Stéphanie. Now that she has it, I am free to share, share, share. "She" was Heidi Swapp inspired first being drawn in reverse on the back of the paper then the dots mapped out using pencil. In order to know where to place the bling, I used a paper piercer to punch through the paper giving me an outline of holes on the front. Dot liquid adhesive and stick the bling et voila. TFL.
