Playing in Paradise #64

Happy Friday my Paradise friends!!  Not that great here in Calgary.... cold and rain!  And we will be enjoying all of that while we are at the zoo field trip. I can't believe I'm saying this....but I would rather have the snow than the rain.  At least with the snow you have a higher chance of seeing the sun. Rain is just gloomy and depressing. Wow! How's that for a Happy Friday?

I hope you will find time to join us with this week's Playing in Paradise Challenge over at the Scrapbooker's Paradise blog. This week's challenge is by me!  I hope you'll have no excuse not to join us because my challenge is very versatile... you can use an image or sentiment.
I used Penny Black's Bubbly clear stamp and PTI Mixed Messages.

Playin in Paradise #63

Happy Friday my Paradise friends!!  I'm hoping it will be as hot as they said it would be for us Calgarian... not holding my breath though, but it will sure be nice to see some sunshine.

I hope you will find time to join us with this week's Playing in Paradise Challenge over at the Scrapbooker's Paradise blog. This week's challenge is by Angela and she's thinking of spring flowers.
I used Rose Creations and Foliage Spellbinders for my flowers and Martha Stewart corner punch.  My glitter cardstock is by Best Creation Inc. from Scrapbooker's Paradise.   A bit expensive, but so worth it.

Birthday Cards

I am finally able to post some cards for you... I made them a couple of weeks ago for my regular customer who always order Birthday cards for the whole family.  Total of  15!!  Of course I knew about it since January, but didn't start them till a week before the due date. Here's the first 3 cards.

Reno

Just an up-date with our reno....
We finished the hardest part.... moving all the pipes to accommodate the new shower stall

We decided to get new vanity...which is good since we haven't done the floor yet.

my tiling job... I guess when you buy your tiles from a hardware store, the tiles are not all the same size. there's 1/8" difference....you would think that's nothing, but by the time you do four tiles together the gap is almost 1/2".


And of course with all the reno....you'll have one messy place.  This is what our bedroom looks like now...or should I say how it has been for a while now.


Thanks for bloggin' by and have a nice day!

I hope you will find time to join us with this week's Playing in Paradise Challenge over at the Scrapbooker's Paradise blog. This week's challenge is sketch challenge by Allison!
