Momma

A layout based on sketch #139 from Creative Scrappers.  I actually do call my mom "Momma" but it sounds more like muh-ma LOL  Journaling reads "I do very much cherish what little time we have together.  Wish you lived closer.  Love you very much".  Over the Christmas holidays, mom and I got to scrapbook quite a bit, we really enjoyed that.  So for her birthday in January, I ordered a huge box of scrapping yummy goodness and had it sent to her.  We are planning a girls scrapbooking weekend with my sister too! I can't wait !

C/Supt Doug Coates - R.I.P.

A scrapbooking layout based on sketch #138 from Creative Scrappers.  I am still fiddling with my new camera, so I apologize for the bad quality. 

C/Supt Coates was my boss when I worked in International Peacekeeping Branch at the RCMP a couple years ago.  He died in the Haiti earthquake last year and this sketch inspired me for this layout.  The colours Red, Blue and Gold are the RCMP Colours. I actually made the mixed media title "Fighting for the world" several years ago for a canvas I was planning on creating, but never did - thought it was fitting for this layout as well.  And while I was on the Dominican Island last week (same as Haiti for those who don't know and just a year after the Haiti earthquake), I grabbed some sand from there and placed it on the star beside the title.  May he rest in peace.

Awesome Mosaic Art

We are back from our trip in Punta Cana.  Our flight was delayed over 20 hours and we got to stay at a different resort, it was beautiful and they had beautiful art everywhere.  This display of beautiful mosaic figures caught my eye.. One of these days, I will make something similar.
