New Design Team - ROSE MOKA

I'm so excited to be on the new Rose Moka Design Team! This is a company based in Quebec (so I'm dusting off some nearly-20-years-rusty French language skills and relying heavily on online translators). They make Beautiful paper that I'm thrilled to be working with. I think this will be a perfect compliment to my Clear Scraps team!

Come check them out!

We're in the zone (the tile-zone)

Trev & I tiled the backsplash in our kitchen (see previous post) and then we decided to tackle a project both of us had wanted to do for a long time - a tile/mosaic table top for an outdoor patio table. We'd had the table top sitting in the garage for a year (Free from MCC because it had no legs) and I purchased a few glossy black tiles yesterday (also from MCC - $1.50 for 7 tiles) and we used the leftover tiles from our bathroom floor reno.

Today after work, I grouted. I ran out of grout with one corner to finish...Thanks T & L for having exactly the same colour leftover grout handy in your garages - you're our heroes!! The finished product still needs washing and sealing....but you get the idea. This was SO Fun!

Happy Mother's Day to me!!

It's done! I have a new kitchen countertop and a tiled backsplash! Ain't it great?
I've been waiting for awhile - what started as a simple garbourator install turned into several longer jobs (doesn't it always), including framing in the basement and wiring in more electrical to the kitchen...etc. But now it's done - just in time for Mother's Day!! I love how it turned out and I love that we did most of it ourselves! I'm so impressed with all the stuff Trev knows how to do! We have a flooring goal eventually too but that will wait. Now it's time to find some FREE stuff to do this summer!

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day! I love this weekend. I'm not a gift-y person so if there's no flowers or whatever - I'm SO OK with that. But I love the little cards from my kids that they've made in school and I love all the kisses and hugs this weekend.

I'm walking on Sunday. Our city's doing a Run for Moms. I think the concept is that it's going to be on Mother's Day every year with a different charity getting the proceeds. This year it's going to Anna's House so that's awesome.

And a little sadness. My Grandpa died last weekend so we're traveling a little this weekend for the funeral. We'll miss him....but he was 97 years old and ready to go. I'm kinda tickled...thinking about him running and playing and singing and all those things he hasn't been able to do for awhile. I hope it's awhile before my Grandma joins him but at the same time - that'll be a joyous reunion too someday.

Hugs.
Cathy

OK, I give in....I really do like owls

I've been fighting the owl craze. But they really are adorable. This is a birthday card made for the NSD challenges at Creative Crafts & Stickers.

The second part of the challenge was to make a birthday card (s) to send to Catherine at Scrapbook & Cards Today because she gives them out to children @ Children's Hospital's who wouldn't get birthday cards. Ain't that sweet?

Here are mine. I had scraps in my scrap-bin from Christmas cards so I paired them with SEI tags and a little extra ink.....ta-da! 10 for Catherine.

4x12 ??

My first 4x12 layout - strange for me, but a very fun size! This was a Creative Crafts & Stickers NSD challenge. Think of the paper conservation :)
