Contest!!!! & lot's of photos & scrapbook layouts!!!

Well the registration went off successfully, we have a few spots left. I am 300 people away from hitting 100 000 visitors on my blog so let's

CELEBRATE!!!!! how do we do that??? we have a ...

     Contest!!!!!

Now is the time that we start gathering sponsor prizes and goody bag stuff for the crop and of course we are always looking for ideas of what people like, so we thought why not have a contest to get suggestions from people and give away something big. So every day till Friday we will have a new question, and you can answer everyday till Friday to get more than one entry. The prize will be FREE entrance to the Saskatchewan crop for you & a friend. (If you already registered you can still enter, and you will be refunded your fee) Now if you live far away and wouldn't be coming, then we will send you a retail basket equivalent to value of the crop prize!!!approx. $250. Everyone is eligible for this! So we will give you all the questions today so you can think on them but only answer the question of the day on the right day to be eligible for multiple entries.

So today's question is this:

In the comment area leave your top 10 items that you think would be the best scrapbook prize ever to receive or your favourite scrapbook companies.

*** Cheryl you are right, I did think it was Monday! LOL!, see I lose my mind all the time, so I will combine 2 questions.

Wednesday's question: What techniques would you like to see shown at a make n take table? 

Thursday: What theme do you think we should have? or no theme? We would love suggestions on how to decorate!!!something fun!!!!!

Friday: What do you think the ultimate MAIN prize to give away at a crop would be? Last year we had a Digital Rebel camera kit with lens. (retail value: $900)

I LOVE giving away prizes!!!!  (my husband wishes I would give them away sooner as I have 8 boxes already collected and he said Nov. is way too far away to keep them!LOL!!!!)

************************************************************************************************************************

Ok, let's move on to some fun stuff. What's new with us? Well I spent almost everyday painting my brother's basement, and boy is it looking great. I would love to just curl up and soak in his HUGE jaccuzzi tub forever!!!!! Then we spent the weekend at the lake and had a blast!!!!! Lot's of photos, boating,visiting and I scrapbooked my heart out!!!! The Just Cre8 kit this month was my FAVOURITE so far evah!!!!! 

Here is the July kits:

Cre8ive pack

Scrap Pack (smaller version)

And they have free shipping on all stamp orders right now! Awesome!!!! In this one kit, I made 11 layouts so far (with 1 more still pending)5 cards and 2 tags, and have a smidge left over to do something with. Total bang for your buck, and some cool stamps & the digital elements below. I didn't use any of these on my layouts as I am cre8ing a Kaiser Craft recipe box right now, and it is going to be filled with these fabulous little cards!!!!!

So want to see some layouts????? I'll post some from this kit everyday this week. Also, I had a blast because I got new photos back from Lisa Landrie (shutterbug photos) seriously OMG love them!!!!I'll show some everyday too.

So this photo shoot was all about capturing the kids as they are, no formality, total relax whatever they do. It was great! fun and always lot's of laughs. This year for me is all about capturing their individuality.

Jager showing his moola.

She was able to capture Riley in his true unaware of himself stage. He is often just taking things in at a distance and then goes and tries it out. So for her to have captured this innocence is truly my favourite!!!!!

brothers at their finest!!!! especially Jager, notice anything??? well I wouldn't expect anything else out of him!LOL!!!!

ok, gotta go, a mountain of laundry awaits!!! and you know I give up anything to spend quality time doing laundry!!LOL! well, its better to make it feel like fun cause it is a chore that is never going away!!!!

come back tomorrow and enter the contest again!
