So Proud!


This year my oldest starts High School, I feel like I have been talking about this moment for the last 2years and now all of a sudden it's hear! I have even been googling how to tie a tie today because he has to wear one for school and I have no idea how to do it...hehe! Let's say I now know how to do it, and it really wasn't that hard!

Anyway at Brodys Grade 6 Graduation night last year he was awarded the 'DUX' of the year award. We were so suprised and so very proud as well! Brody always works really hard and he definitely deserved this!  

Below is a Picture from that night. 

I have been wanted to do some scrapping for a while and have like about 8 kits from the last 8 months sitting there that I just haven't had a chance to get to. I have just cancelled my subscription as I sooo can't keep up with them...hehe! There just never seems to be enough time! Anyway here is a page I scrapped about Brody's 'Dux' Award

Feeling a Little Blue!


This week over on the M4M Challenge blog the girls are all trying out some new color combo's, so I thought I would have a go. I ALWAYS go for my pink copic markers, so I thought it was time I tried a few different colors. So for this Odd Girl Stamp I have used my Blue Copics, not my usual go to colors But I am happy with the outcome!


You can get all your Odd Girl Stamps from the Mad For Markers store. I have just started to color with these girls and they are soooo much fun to color, I am definitely going to have to get more of these Stamps! Hope everyone is enjoying their Christmas Holidays. My hubby goes back to work on Monday so it will be back to the routine before you know it!

Have a Great Day and Happy Coloring!

Ok, so I know it's been a long time between posts...Sorry! I have had a lot going on lately and although I have been coloring and creating I haven't been posting. 

So here is my Mad For Markers Post, although a little late...hehe!

I love this TGF Oliver stamp, he is such a cutie! I haven't had a chance to use him for a while and when I was asked for a boys card recently I decided to pull him out and ink him up.

This was a card a made for a little boys 1st birthday. Apparently the Mother of the little boy who recieved the card was so happy with the card that she has framed it! Can't say that any of my cards have ever been framed...hehe! Well there's a first for everything!
