For A Special Family

My brother and his family have always lived very near to us. When we moved to Conquest three years ago, we were 45 minutes away and that is the farthest we have ever been. Needless to say, the kids are all very close.

Well, this past summer, my brother, his wife and their four kids moved away…far away…like a whole different province away. We miss them so much.

I saw the challenge for this week at Heart2Heart and it was to create something for someone you are thankful for. We are thankful for all the years we had living close to them and now we are thankful for the times we are able to get together with them.

This is what I came up with:

Paper:

Accessories:

Metal Mania

This week’s challenge at Heart 2 Heart is to incorporate something metal into your project. You can see the challenge here.

I must confess that I didn’t actually do this challenge. my eight year-old son, Will J did it. i was so proud of the job he did, that I thought I would share it with my friends on my blog.

Here is what he made:

It is a metal CD tin that he made a treat holder out of!

Heart 2 Heart–Journaling Challenge

I made this layout for a challenge over at the Heart 2 Heart challenge site. I am not very good at journaling. I love to scrapbook, but I feel as though my words will not give the pages justice. I don’t really mind how this one turned out and I really did have a story to tell. It is a layout of my daughter, Roo Bear and my nephew. They are only a few weeks apart in age, so they spent a lot of time together, carseat to carseat.

Supplies Used (CTMH unless noted):

Stamps:
Trees and Things

Paper:
Lucky

Embellishments:
Hemp
