As seen in Canadian Scrapbooker

I was very excited a little while ago when Canadian Scrapbooker asked for three of my layouts for their Winter 2007 issue. The holiday season is such a meaningful time, and Christmas pages are very special to me. This layout of the girls playing piano is from last Christmas and I hadn't even posted it anywhere before submitting it, so here it is for the first time. The starting point for this layout was a monthly kit from Scrapologie, with a little Pressed Petals and K & Co. chipboard and MM letters added.
This layout also has a Christmas theme, and holds special meaning for our family. I also mentioned this page in a previous post. The journaling here tells the story of our first Christmas following the loss of my husband's grandmother just over a year ago. This layout also has a Scrapologie kit at its heart. The over sized chandelier transparency from Hambly Screen Prints is one of my favourite scrapbooking products ever, and the Thickers from American Crafts really make the title stand out.
Evan's obsession with Yu-Gi-Oh! is well known amongst our family and friends, and when I shot this photo for a class assignment, I knew I had to scrap it. The patterned paper here is by Around The Block. I love the stamp from Autumn Leaves. The big chipboard letters are from Li'l Davis, and the crushed velvet are Maya Road. My dude is happy to see this one in print, however chose his "Sponge Bob Marley" t-shirt from Jamaica for Show & Tell last week over showing off his photo in a magazine. Kids!

If you haven't picked up this latest issue of Canadian Scrapbooker, grab it quickly, as they are moving fast. It makes a great stocking stuffer for that scrapper in your family, it's Canadian, and it's jam packed full of great stuff.
