10 Things I Love About Everyday

10 Things I Love About Everyday Life 2012, a photo by TheGreySparrow on Flickr.

Good evening everyone! Hope you all had a lovely weekend. This weekend was pretty low-key for us, since Dan worked Friday and Saturday, but today we finally were able to catch up on a bit of house maintenance and spring cleaning (better late than never, haha!).
We did a bit of shopping, too, and I bought us all matching Canada day t-shirts for July 1st - I figure it will make a pretty cute family photo (fingers crossed the weather is nice!).
Shortly I hope to start sharing photos of our everyday lives and other crafty projects I'm working on - I'm still pretty new to blogging and if anyone has any suggestions/comments, I'd love to hear them!
The layout above was to document one of my favourite photos of Dan and Reid - I love how Dan is such a natural father and how Reid loves spending time with him.  It warms my heart to see them together :)  This page uses a few elements from the Story Hour and City of Lights kits from Studio Calico, some new My Mind's Eye papers and the 10 things envelope is from Little Yellow Bicycle.
Have a great night and hope Monday is not too rough on anyone, LOL. :)

Loving Early Summer Weather

Day at the Beach Complete Layout, a photo by TheGreySparrow on Flickr.

We were really lucky to have beautiful weather for a bit last month. We took advantage of the unseasonal temperatures and took Reid to the beach for the first time - he loved it! After trying to eat rocks (and succeeding in eating a tiny bit of sand) we went for a walk and got some ice cream :)

On a side note, just wanted to mention how amazing Basic Grey is, and how excited I was to find out earlier that I won a collection pack for their new line. I'll be sharing some pics and layouts as soon as possibe!

Happy Wednesday!

Early Mother's Day Layout

Meant to be Your Mom 2012, a photo by TheGreySparrow on Flickr.

This photo was taken in March, but it's one of my favorites of Reid and I, so I thought it would be perfect on a layout about us. There is hidden journaling on the 'Sincerely Yours' tag. Hope everyone had a safe and happy weekend!

City of Lights Cards

The City of Lights kit is my favourite from Studio Calico so far - I love the colours and the adorable bicycle stamps!  Here are two cards I made using the kit, one for Mother's Day and the other for a birthday :

Have a wonderful day!

Spring Layouts

Well, I managed to get not one, but two layouts finished today!  The little guy had a fun afternoon hanging out with daddy so that mom could have some 'creative' time :)

These layouts were both completed with products from Studio Calico kits (City of Lights, Story Hour, Daydream Believer and County Fair).  I'll update later with specific products used.  Hope everyone is having a great day!

My most recently completed layout using the City of Lights kit from Studio Calico.  This was a very special Easter for us, as it was our first with Reid.  These pictures are from our dinner with my family - shortly I'll have a layout from the dinner we had with my husband, Dan's family.  I'll try to be back soon with more - have a good night everyone!

Here's a pic of a recent layout I completed using the Story Hour kit from Studio Calico.  I am currently on maternity leave with our first son, Reid, who is 8 months old - but I'm also trying to finish a French degree.  It's been a little trickier than I thought to juggle Reid with the courses, but I'm very lucky to have a really supportive husband.  I just hope it's worth it in the end!

Welcome!

Here it is - my very first blog post!  Hopefully this is the first of many.  I will be back shortly to post some scrapbook pages I recently completed and in the near future I hope to have some card pictures as well.  If you have any questions, please feel free to message me!
