Change of scenery ...
Well I decided to go back to scrapbooking for a few days to try and finish up the album I have been making for my sister (and a duplicate for myself) of our cruise to Alaska. The cruise was over a year ago :( and I had only got about half way. Anyway I was having a home/work weekend (One of the reasons I love summer) and I got a few pages done, finishing her book and getting close on mine. Here are a few of my favorites.
In case it isn't obvious we were being silly in almost every photo! lol In the photos are me, my sister, my friend Kelly and her partner in crime Dave.
We really had a great time and doing up a few pages brought back some great laughs and memories.
I think the last is my favorite ... very clean but bright and cheery.

Card Challenges!
Soooo I am not really a pastel person ... I don't pick them out naturally and even for a baby card it's tough for me to be creative for some reason. So of course I wanted to challenge myself to try to use some pastel bits I had hanging around to make a nice little girls card. It turned out nice, I would definitely give it to someone (If I could think of someone I knew having a girl right now) but it's not me, it's not my colours and I know it.
SO I was sitting there looking at it and thinking "it's just fine Laurie, move on ..." when it came to me. I have friends that have been trying to adopt for years! So I thought what kind of card would I make for them. I scrounged through my paper, and little odds and ends and came up with this colour palette and the idea of a card that would be perfect for adoptive parents. "A Wish Came True" ... I wanted it to be very fairy tale/gypsy feeling and cheerful and I think it does those things! I used stamps to create pa terned card stock (The green, not the main pattern! :) ) and my cricut was a bit of help. I am really pleased overall.
This card fits a couple of challenges:
