Camping Trip Album/Journal

Hello stampers! Wow, it has been a month since I last blog. I've been busy altering dresses and away a lot.
I volunteered for 2 weeks at Camp YES! and then went to our yearly family camping trip. I think I'm all camped out for now. It is always fun camping but tiring at the same time.

 I made this album for my girls. They request for one every year so that they can record our family camping trip. I love reading what they wrote and drew about the trip.

I stamped each and every pages in the album. I leave the cover and inside pictures the way they are so that my girls can colour them how ever they want them to.

Thank you for stopping by! Happy Stamping!

Little Pumpkin Baby Shower

Thought some of you might like to see the decorations from the baby shower. The theme was Our Little Pumpkin'. I wasn't in charge of decorating this time. This was the gifts table area.

Food table. I took the picture before there was food on it.

Centre piece for the guests tables.

Wreathe with hanging pumpkins.

A tree made out of foam.

Hanging pumpkins made out of paper lanterns.

A pumpkin cake. A lady at church made this. It was so cute. See the baby on top of the cake and little mushrooms at the bottom around the cake? So cute!

Close up of the baby. I think it was made out of fondant.

Pumpkin baby.

Pumpkin baby in a tutu. A lady made it for the baby.

Thank you for stopping by! Hope you enjoy looking at the baby shower decorations! Happy creating!

Baby Ella Mae's Baby Shower

I went to a baby shower last night but baby is not born yet. I always find it weird to go to a baby shower with no baby. I made a scrapbook/guest book for the baby. I made a blanket and hat also but it doesn't match the book. The book match the colour of the baby's room.

I made 12 pages for putting pictures of baby's first year.

I die cut 3 different colours 4 of each card stockfor putting pictures in. The guest could sign around it.

The book was attached by 2 binder rings. I covered the holes with one of the Apothecary Accents framelits. Added ribbons to the rings to make them look pretty.

Thought some of you might like to see the shower decorations so I'll post some pictures from the shower on the next post. If you like to see the blanket and hat up close and individually you can see it here.

Family Camping Journals

Happy Canada Day!

Hello, stampers! I just got back from my family annual camping trip. We do this every year with my side of the family. We went to Cultus Lake this year. There were 27 of us and that was not all that was present. Jarod and a few others didn't come this year. We had to book 4 sites still and the sites at this camp ground were smaller than the other sites we've been too. We had a good time even though the sites were small. The kids went to a waterslide park but I didn't get to go. I was not a happy camper then but today I realized I probably wont enjoy it anyway. I'm afraid of heights and I saw a few slides that you have to climb up to the top before you slide down and they were pretty high. I'm glad I didn't get to go. God knows me better than I know myself. He was taking care of me.

Faith loves to write about her trips and every year she asks me to make one for her. This year she gave me at least a week notice. Other years she would ask me to make it the day before.

This year I only made 2. One for Faith and one for Hope. Here is the inside of the journal. I stamped every pages. I used the Under the Stars and Backwoods stamp sets. There is this new The Great Outdoors stamp set in the catalogue that I want to get from Stampin'Up! It has everything in this set that is perfect for the camping journals.

Thank you for stopping by! Happy Canada Day!

My Family Annual Camping Trip

Hello, everyone! I'm back from my family annual camping trip. There were 24 of us camping together. We rented 4 sites and probably the noisiest bunch. lol We went to Shuswap lake up north/east about 5 hours drive from  Vancouver. It was a very nice campsite.

2 days before we left for our camping trip my oldest daughter asked me to make a camping book for her to write about her trip. Of course I can't just make 1 so I made 7 of these. I only made for the little ones this time since it was so last minute. Very simple book for her to track down what she did during camping.

 This was the section of the lake for dogs. You can let your dogs swim here.

 Picture of islands across the lake.

 Here a picture me sitting on a bench by the beach. Did you notice the level of water under me? 2 weeks before we were here it rained so much it flooded the lake and the inland. Lots of pools of still water on the inland so there were lots and lots of mosquito.  I got about 60 mosquito bites. I'm itchy all over.

Picture of the entrance.

Hope you enjoy looking at the pictures of my camping trip. Thank you for stopping by!

Colourful Mexico Trip Journals

Good day.  These are the journals I made for all the nieces and nephews for the Mexico trip we went to in May. They can write down all the things they did there during the trip.

Here is the cover. Very simple one. I stamped some images on the front cover and they can colour them if they wish to.

I love the colours of the journals all staked together. So pretty! I sewed the spine to keep the pages together. Each kids get their own colour. I gave it to them before we boarded the plane. Some was so excited they wrote and drew pictures in the journal while on the plane. 6 hours of flying was a long time for the little ones so the journals kept them busy for awhile.

Here is the inside. Lots of space for them to write and draw.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. Have a great day!

Wedding Essential

Guess what? I found the wedding creation pictures. They were in Martin's computer. I never thought they would be in his computer. I search and search on all the SD cards we got and they were not in any of the cards. I'm glad they were not deleted.

I made these wedding stuff for my brother's wedding. My SIL was very easy to work with. She's not picky at all. She's a sweetheart.

This is the picture of the menu card and a tag for the maraca. The tag said "stand and shake with all your might to see the groom and bride kiss tonight". I love it. It is so cute. One of my nephew really enjoy shaking the maracas.

This is the other side of the tag.

Colourful maracas favours.

This is the ring pillow I made long time ago for my wedding. I just changed the flower and ribbon to match their wedding colour.

This is the table number card.

This is the guest book. The frame piece on the book cover opens up and there is their picture inside.

Here is one of the pages inside the guest book. I put their wedding invitation and respond card in the guest book. Unfortunately I did not make the invitations.

Here is another page in the guest book. I added pictures to each pages and the guest can sign around them.

Hope you enjoy looking at the wedding stuff. I enjoy making them.

Thank you for visiting today.

Anina's Paint Can

 Good day! Here is a paint can gift set I made for my friend's baby girl. It is a wonderful baby keepsake can. I decorate the can using the colours of the hat I crocheted for baby Anina.

 The front of the paint can. The beautiful frame shape under the name is for Anina's picture. I made a template for the mother to trace the shape for the picture so she didn't have to guess the shape.

 Back of the paint can. I went crazy putting flowers on the can. A girl can never have too many flowers. My friend love the flowers.

I added a flower on top of the lid. I used green ribbon for the leaves. I think they look like leaves.

I made an album for pictures of Anina. I love this little album. It is so cute. The colours are so pretty.

Thank you for stopping by! Have a good day!

Camping Trip Album

 

Hello, everyone! Here is an album I made 2 years ago. I looked and looked for these pictures forever and finally found it. It was actually on my husband's computer file. I thought I deleted it. I never made one for myself. I gave them all away to my family. They all loved it of course. I made 5 of these albums and it took a long time to sponge every single pages.

Here  are few inside pages of the album. I didn't add pictures to all the pages. I left some pages for them to add their own pictures to it.

Here is a top view of all the pages.

My family are waiting for me to make the 2010 and 2011 camping trip albums. Yikes! I'm so behind! That's a total of 12 albums to make.

Thank you for stopping by today! Hope you enjoyed looking at the album!


Happy Stamping!
