All Revved Up...

Whew! We just returned from a wonderful crop event in Peace River, Alberta. The crop was hosted by Jennifer Thietke & Megan Curry. Classes were instructed by Stepheny Fenton. What a great time!

We booked a room at Third Mission. What a fabulous place! Worth a stop when you are overnighting in P.R.

Anyway, this weekend just pumped me up to get the planning underway for our fabulous March event! Stick around and see what's new in the start of November here at the blog!

Enjoy!

As the spooky season approaches, get in on a great halloween project from Tim Holtz himself!
Check out his blog! Feel free to let him know that you got there, from here!

Happy Halloween!

Wow! The weather is turning cooler....the leaves have fallen, and the ghosties and goblins are getting geared up to come a 'knockin'
How about a great crafty project, from a super-crafty guy?
Check out Tim's Blog, and see what he shares when he teaches you about halloween tags, distress inks, and, of course, some kraft-resist paper!
Good luck with your tricks!
Till next time,
Bon

A decade...

It is hard to believe that ten years have past since that dreadful day when the Twin Towers fell. This is just a wish and a prayer of hope for our neighbors to the South, as the sun rises tomorrow.

Stay safe,
Bonnie

I'll Make Ya Famous

That's right! Pick up your issue today and check out our moment of fame!
Make sure to drop into the CS Facebook page and thank them for "makin' us famous"

Till next time

Great Times, Great ideas!

Hot Hot Hot! Hope your summer is going great! I apologize for the delay in posting, but sometimes you have to live your life and document it later!

First off, I want to share that we took in a fabulous crop down in Grande Prairie, AB with Tanya Fix and her team at Artully Inspired. A nice store, with great food service and a perfect location to the rest of the city! It was a weekend filled with friends, shopping, great food and some interesting scrapbooking.
One thing Tanya shared, was her love for the new Tim Holtz Distress Stain. Here is a link to the ever-popular http://www.scrapbook.com/ that shows how you can apply this fun stuff to your next project: http://www.scrapbook.com/videos/?m=view&v=2049

Then, I want to share another fun opportunity for those of you ready to attend a scrapbook weekend in September.

Scrapbook for a Cure
September 16/17 in High Level, AB at the BEST CANADIAN MOTOR INN
Early Bird registration is only $50!! before August 26th!
They will feed you and treat you all weekend!
T-shirts and classes are available!
Great room rates for out-of-town travellers!
Call Cindy at 780-841-8568 for more info!

(Psssst! I think they might even show you a few tricks with distress stain..................)


Finally, I just wanted to let everyone who will listen know that our Relay for Life team for the Canadian Cancer Society (a.k.a: Fighting Down Under) is presently selling teal rubber bracelets to share awareness of Cervical Cancer.
We will be actively fundraising throughout the year to support the team. Whether you are a scrapbooker, or not, if you would like to show your support, please drop me a line and let me know at bonnies@fvsd.ab.ca .Any ideas are welcome!

Take care, and enjoy the sun!
