The Mom Club
So yesterday my mom and I went to a baby shower for my cousin, Ali who had a wee little baby girl at the end of March. It's funny - I'm nine years younger than my next-youngest cousin and always growing up when we'd get together I was desperately trying to fast-forward myself to be at their (super-cool, older-than-me) level.
THEN I did something a little stupid and got MARRIED when I was 21 (hahaha - don't worry, I don't REALLY think marrying Mr. Man was a stupid thing to do; apparently it was THE perfect choice for us, who'da' thunk it?) and then we had Little Miss two weeks before my 25th birthday.
My other cousin had twins six weeks after Little Miss's arrival and that left Ali at family functions the only non-mom of the female cousins.
(This turned out longer than I meant - hahaha - but I guess that's standard for me...SORRY)
ANYWAY, at her shower Ali said to we cousins - I'm finally part of the mom club, now!! hahaha TOOOOOO cute!! She's trying to catch up to ME for a change!!
My mom made an adorable card for the occasion:
AND here's what I gave for the gorgeous little girlie:
(for some reason that last photo is coming up sideways...I don't have a clue why, and neither does our computer genius Mr. Man, soo weird, and whoops!)

Finals are DONE!
Okay, so SLIGHTLY huge hiatus there - sorry about that. Finals were kicking my butt and I found I had nothing new or interesting to post about. I hope you haven't been too distraught over my disappearance - I'm BACK!
And here, too, finally, are pics of the upcoming 'That's Amore' workshop projects - there are lots of instruction booklets kicking around ($1.25) for these gorgeous layouts, so be sure to drop me a line if you want one!
BY the way - check back SOON for some exciting new information about next week's LAUNCH PARTIES - I can't WAIT!

Free Food, anyone?
Hi, hi!! So, it's been a BUSY day - check my main blog in a quick bit to read ALL about it, 'cause I know you're DYING to know how I spent my Saturday morning...
BUT I wanted to take a sec and make sure you ALL know about and feel invited to... the new Idea Book LAUNCH PARTY!!!
Okay, okay. So here's how it works - Close To My Heart is SO awesome (who me? I'm not biased...) that instead of just shipping us sell-sell-sell catalogues we're all treated each new catalogue to new tricks, tips, and ideas to make our projects B-E-A-YOUtiful faster, simpler, and easier!! So even if there's no new products in the idea book that tickles your fancy there'll be TONNES of great new ideas!!
Idea Books come out three times a year - three times a year we get new product, GREAT new ideas, and a fantastic excuse to PARTAY. This time we're partying like it's the summer 2009 Idea Book. (I know, I know - we had snow here last week, too. Just go with it....)
This time around I'm hosting TWO launch parties so it's easier for you all to make it out: one in St. Catharines on May 1st, and one in Georgetown on May 2nd. The idea books go live May 1st, so attending either party you'll be among the FIRST to see the new stuff! If you have any interest at all in a fun girls-night out to play games and chillax with the ladies, and potentially meet new ones then COME. We always have a blast.
PLEASE contact me if you'd like to come - we'd LOVE to have you!

Happy Easter
Little Miss 'helped' me make this card today.
(CTMH Lilac Mist, Sunkiss Yellow, Baby Pink, Key Lime, and Sweet Pea papers/inks)

A few of my favourite things
These three layouts (featuring the one and only Little Miss, of course!) were completed with Close To My Heart's uber-fantastic Emporium Workshop (step-by-step how-to guide still available for only $1.10!)
I will admit, even having a little girl, I still for the most part loathe pink. I mean, as much as a person can feel strongly about a colour I feel negatively toward the colour pink. Luckily, it's just a COLOUR soooo it doesn't really matter.... This card came out of RaeDawn's suggestion that baby pink go wonderfully with chocolate brown...
And the above pink-and-brown success lead to this gorgeous baby gift! (Baby-pink, lilac mist, chocolate, and Sweet Pea Level 2 paper
I did this last week for a girlfriend's wedding present... I just can't get enough of this Silhouette Level 2 paper!
My BEST work, for sure, though it will look even better with a picture of the little angel...
Using That's Amore level 2, "Delight in Everything" stamp set, some big letter stamps aaaand....an old connections club reward, plus some hemp. :)
