Canadian Scrapbooker December Sketch

I actually did this one after the January, but switched dates on my blog:0)  Here is the December sketch:

 And here is what I did with it!  I had a bit of fun with my Tim Holtz for Sizzix dies, using one to cut the snowflake border and another to build the dimensional tree.  For the tree I cut 4 and then glued them together like a fan, so the tree totally pops off the page.  I hardly ever scrap birthday and Christmas photos, so it was great to get an older picture fancied up, thanks to the sketch!

Now show me yours!!!!!!!  If you leave a link in the comments, I would love to come and look.

Supplies used: Coredinations cardstock; Basic Grey papers, stickers and embellishments; Tim Holtz for Sizzix dies; Riff Raff chipboard; Ranger stickles.

Door Hangers (complete with story)

Last June, one of the kids that I worked with and his mom were in a meeting with the principal at our school.  At some point he went up to the principal and said, "You are like a princess!  And a principal.  You are a princess-ipal!!!"  Of course, this was shared with some delight through the school, and so it came a few days later that the vice-principal asked our little guy, "So, if Mrs. W. is a princess-pal, what does that make me?"  Without missing a beat little guy replies. "You are a cannibal!!!"

So for a fun surprise I decided that they would need new name tags on their office doors to celebrate their new titles!

This sign uses Basic Grey "Sweet Threads" papers, which are just so yummy!  And of course a little Maya Road goodness as the base of the crown.

I don't very often get to play boy-boy in my scrappy space, so I was a bit challenged by this new territory.  I ended up having lots of fun!  The papers and some alphas are from Simple Stories "Destinations".  I don't know that much about cannibals, so it ended up being kind of pirate-y.  It was Mark's idea to add the little top knot of hair in Scully-Dude and Avery's to add the freaky vial of blood dangling off the bottom. Both those bits are Tim Holtz products.

I hope they get a laugh out of this little surprise:0) We will make deliveries today.  

And for the record, Mr. S. is a soft-spoken teddy bear of a man.  I know of no occasion where the VP has eaten any children- good, bad or in between!

Happy Monday, y'all!

Friday... Sunday... or some other day!

I am late! I am late! For a very important date!!!  (Can't you just see me in a rabbit suit? I am pretty sure I fell down the rabbit hole.)  So, it is not at all Friday, but I'll be honest.  Friday was a day like no other and it has taken me til Sunday to recover.  Better late than never, I have a winner for the promised Tim Holtz Sizzix embossing folders.  And the winner is....

Sue P.!!!  Congrats!  (See that empty space above?  It was supposed to hold the video of the actual name draw.  After nearly two hours of watching blogger spin it's little wheels about it, I gave up and decided to post sans high-tech addition!)

Please email me your address and I will send this off to you:0)

Thanks to you all for signing up to follow this blog.  I solemnly swear the bloggers oath to regularly add something of interest.

Full work week for me- regular school Monday-Thursday and then I get to spend Friday as a student. (I am now on the other side and have to figure out where Avery can be for my professional development day, lol).  I'll be listening to Barbara Kaiser all day Friday. She speaks about dealing with young kids with challenging behaviour bringing in elements of neuroscience, psychology, social skills etc to help you understand why kids misbehave and what you can do about it.  If any parents are interested, she is speaking on Thursday March 10 at Broxton Park school (7pm).  It is a free session brought to you by the Parkland School District.
