The J's Journey


A page I did of some photos I took of Brodies cousin Julie with her daughter Jaylene when they came to Canada this past summer from Taiwan.



This was also a project for FarFlung, used a googaw charm some cute puffy flowers, fancy pants chipboard for the flower and adhered some of their new fabrics to it.

Life Ain't always Beautiful...

I heard this song by Gary Allan and really liked the lyrics. It's not an upbeat "happy" song it just puts things into perspective.

Life Ain't Always Beautiful

Life aint always beautiful
Sometimes it's just plain hard
Life can knock you down,
it can break your heart

Life aint always beautiful
You think you're on your way
And it's just a dead end road
at the end of the day

But the struggles make you stronger
And the changes make you wise
And happiness has its own way
of takin it's sweet time

CHORUS

No, life aint always beautiful
Tears will fall sometimes
Life aint always beautiful
But it's a beautiful ride

the struggles make me stronger
And the changes make me wise
And happiness has its own way
of takin it's sweet time
No, life aint always beautiful
But i know i'll be fine
Hey, life aint always beautiful
But it's a beautiful ride
What a beautiful ride

My Crush?


Every year I look forward to Easter.
To me it’s more than just treats and more than just the Easter bunny. It’s the time I get to display my collection of egg cups.
Susan a DT member posted a question at SS regarding using the same pictures again on a layout. I used these photos last year on a similar page, but I like the 8.5 x 11 size better.
My first PINK page in ages! lots of felt on this...its so nice having friends to challenge you to use a medium you wouldn't normally use.

Security Soother


I'm so glad Carson doesn't use his soother or "plug" (as I liked to call it) anymore.

The Patch

This was for a cardstock only challenge . A friend and I were stumped as to what to do(big case of scrappers block)....so we decided on this challenge! It was fun and only took me an hour :)
Anyone else up for this challenge?
stay tuned for the next one :)
cheers, Andrea x
