Graduation....

This is a card I made for my bf's girlie. She graduated from Grade 12 last June and I wanted something different and unique for her card. I find that graduation cards all look the same, so I did something in her style and the colours she likes.

Recipe: Pearl Flourish - Prima, Stamps - Inkadinkadoo, Ink - Memento, Cardstock & Paper Flower - Bazzill, Miscellaneous Patterned Paper from my scrap bin, Sentiments - Computer Generated, Diecuts- Stampin' Up, Brads - Doodlebug.

I had the immense pleasure of photographing M's graduation photos. I was honoured when my bf asked me to do it, and was happy the setting was at their home.... We kept it simple, easy and natural, just like M~! Peanut was with us and kept us in stitches the whole time (and was spoiled by his Auntie E, as always!).  These photographs were  a couple of my favorites. The candid was us walking towards the back of the property. Peanut loves his M and she treats him like she is his big sis. I love that they each have a foot up and the generational difference of M commencing school and Peanut beginning it.

Race fan... his dad won't be happy!

Dan may not be happy, but the rest of the family is. We went home for a quick visit and went to my brother's to see his family. It was a Sunday, which only means on thing for my brother and his family, my sister and her family and my uncle: RACE DAY! While we are basketball fans in our house, Nascar seems to have made a great impression on Aidan (well, and the cake and birthday gifts too... Nothing like celebrating 5 birthdays at once... 4 kids, all cousins born within 10 days.. ) But my brother was so proud! This is Aidan watching Earnhardt, Uncle Ryan's favorite!

Big Helper...

Aidan decided to be a big helper to his dad today and shovel the driveway. Not sure if he is holding up the shovel or if the shovel is actually the one in control!
