looove the silhouette!


I am totally in love with my silhouette! It started off as a rocky relationship because I'm a little techno noob, but now that I've got it all figured out, I am in love!
I cut the background circles with it, and the bracket.
There's still some things that I'm trying to figure out with it, but I am soooo glad I got it! I can't believe the price either! it was only 299.00 plus I got 25% off for quickutz club, so with tax it was 250.00 then there's 6 months free unlimited downloads with it! I've already downloaded like 1000.00 worth of images, so I'd say I've already got my money's worth!

Silhouette!!!

I'm sooooo excited! Tomorrow I get to go pick up my Silhouette!! yaaaay!! I feel like I'm going to explode because I have to wait until tomorrow! I'm like a freakin kid waiting for Santa to come! Do I sound like I'm a liittle bit of an addict?! lol
I was just looking at the online silhouette store, and I'm on overload right now! I'm like adding everything into my shopping cart! looks like I'm going to have to go with the unlimited downloads...or go broke! hehe

well, once I figure out how to use it, you can look forward to some pages done silhouette style!

I'm going to go try to sleep now! hehe

Summer Fun

I love these pics of Ethan from last year at the water park. It was the first time he'd gone were he was old enough to actually know what was going on. I was laughing as I was making this layout because the shorts that he's wearing in these pics which are at his ankles then are now at his knees! He's grown so much this last year I can't believe it!

I made the photo corner from a chipboard frame from Maya Road that I painted blue first, then added green glitter to it as the paint dried, then I cut it in half.
I used the quickutz pop up flourish and cut ghost shapes out with it. I used the quickutz plastic packaging. (it doesn't cut really, but I ran it through like 4 times, then used a utility knife to cut out the shape) Then I covered it with Diamond Glaze to make them look like water drops.




I painted the grid paper to match my page, but I also used it to stamp on the paper under the "@", then I glued the actual paper under the pics.
The PP is Crate Paper, and the sun is made from Fancy Pants pp.
I also used the quickutz instant photo, nesting circles, squigly circle from the Reuse Spring gift set, and the confetti border. The alphabet is moxie skinni minni.
I'm really liking the instant photo, it's the first time I used it, and I know it definately won't be the last!

Caleb rolled over today!! yaay Caleb! hehe

He's been trying sooo hard to roll from his back to his front, and today I put him on his tummy, and he rolled over so easily! I missed it of course! I just looked back at him and he was on his back again! Then later tonight, I put him on his stomach again, turned around, then looked back at him, and he was on his back again! I still haven't actually seen him roll over, but he's done it twice now!

On another note, there is a mosquito in my computer room that is biting the hell outta my legs and it's going to DIE!!

goodnight, I must go mosquito hunting!

Happy Canada Day!!

It was such a great day to have a Canada Day Celebration! We went to the park today and watched a bit of the Canada Day ceremony, then we went to see Ice Age 3 in 3D!! It was cooL! I guess not your average Canada Day thing to do, but it was a lot of fun. Ethan really liked it, and as much as I was against the idea, we brought Caleb along too. It was my mom's idea, so my husband (who just came off night shift) could sleep, she suggested that we bring him with us. So we did, and he sat there and zoned out on it the WHOLE time (when he wasn't sleeping!) I couldn't believe it! He was quiter than most of the other kids in the theater! So Caleb went to his first movie today!
I am feeling really grateful today that I live in Canada!! YAAAY CANADA!! Happy Birthday!!
