Just Being a Kid

More pics of my grand-nephew Devin playing, taken on Saturday, June 9th at our family get-together.

I never used to use quick pages but over that last little while there have been some really cute ones that were too hard to resist. This one is called "We Are Family QP" (by Connie Prince) and I added freebie cluster frames from the same kit in the bottom right corner. The yellow Tonka truck is from the "Rough and Tumble" NSD Blog Hop by Plain Digital Wrapper (expired now).

Zombiefied!

When we were at our family get-together yesterday my niece showed us an app on her i-phone called ZombieBooth. She took a photo of eveyone, one at a time and zombiefied us, then instantly send the photos to us by email, haha. Gotta love technology. This is how the pics of my hubby and I looked as zombies. So pretty, haha!

We're huge fans of the TV show, "The Walking Dead", so this app was a ton of fun to play with. To make this page I used a freebie kit called 'Bone Yard' (by Dreamsfulfilled); the background paper is from 'Halloween Curiosity' (A Saxon Creation), and made a few things.

1973 Groovy Wallpaper

The journaling says...

This was my first real place of my own. I rented the top half of a house on Lake Ave. in Stoney Creek and I even had my own backyard.

When I moved in I painted every room in the house and hung this groovy wallpaper in the kitchen. I also painted the kitchen cupboards. I was very proud of my handiwork, haha.

It's a tad busy by today's standards :)

I made the funky shaped frame by creating a custom shape in MyMemories Suite and filling it with paper. I used a previous Facebook Exclusive kit (from February 2012) called 'All Retro' (by PersnicketyPrints"). I tried to make a page that just screamed LOUD and BUSY!!! I think may have succeeded :))

Diamond Jubilee

Yesterday my hubby and I watched the Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant on TV. (3 1/2 hours = fabulous). I just LOVE stuff like this. So funny how the British newscasters refused to say the word 'rain' but referred to the weather as 'unrelentingly damp', haha. (It poured!) It didn't seem to dampen the spirits of the people though. I must say the Brits do Pageantry exceedingly well. So nice to see some Canadians taking part in the flotilla. Thought I'd make a little page to celebrate.

That's Dillon holding the Canadian flag in his mouth. I used the kit "The Great British Street Party" (by LouCee Creations). The photo of the Queen and the Diamond Jubilee emblem are downloads available on The official website of The Queen's Diamond Jubilee. (http://​www.thediamondjubilee.org/)

Feed, Me, Feed Me!

This is my page for a Blog Challenge Scraplift on Marie H Designs blog and FB Fan page. I used 'Sweet Sunny Summer' and 'Good Old Summertime' (both by Marie H Designs). The photos were taken in our backyard on May 15th. I didn't realize how huge a baby sparrow's mouth was until I zoomed in with my camera, lol. These little guys have already taken their first flights out of the nest, but the parents are still feeding them.

For participating in the challenge I received this free kit from Marie, 'Dear Diary'

Linda Ronstadt Hair

This isn't really a scrap page. It's just a little something I made after a few of my digi scrap pals on Facebook and I were talking about old hair styles from back in the day. There were four of us that nearly the identical style (and in some cases, the same glasses) lol.

I used items form February's Tinsel Town Glamour Blog Train (on Divine Digital). Now expired.

1983 Eric's Christening

We were discussing old hair styles on facebook and I made this simple little page just to show some of the gals my 80's perm, haha. This was taken on the day on my nephew Eric's Christening in 1983. My husband and I were (are) Eric's God Parents.

I used a retired kit called "Choochie Face" (by LouCee Creations) and another retired kit called "Baby Born"(by Meta Wulandari Design).
