Happy Birthday!




Happy Birthday to Heather from Heather Scraps  who turned 29 today ;)

Us Aquarians NEVER age lol!!!

I hope you had a wonderful day.  I know you won't see this until Monday, but it's still Sunday here!!
:)

Pop on over to Heathers blog and say hi and wish her a Happy Birthday!!!  :)

Congrats to Chris!!!



A few months ago I heard via the homeschool group that I belong to, that there was a contest for students in Alberta to enter for the chance to win a trip to the Olympic Games.  I emailed the details to Chris, Laurence and Susannah - as I always do when I get Emailed info that I think will interest them.

Only Chris bothered to enter the contest!  You had to write an essay - up to 650 words - saying how you help your community.

Last week we heard that Christopher has been chosen to represent our riding (they are choosing two students from each of the 83 ridings in Alberta) and has won a trip for two to go to the Olympic games in February!!!

For a number of reasons we have decided that he is going to take his Dad with him - I think it will be a really great trip for them both - and really exciting - and the rest of us were lucky enough to see the torch go through our town last week anyway.

The prize includes:
 Return airfare for two from either Edmonton or Calgary (departure city determined by constituency) including all fees and taxes. o A meal upon departure and return will be provided on the flight. o A pair of tickets to a sporting event o A pair of tickets to a celebration ceremony o Ground transportation to each venue to be visited in Vancouver o Food and beverages at Alberta House in Vancouver o One hundred dollars cash (total) to be used at the discretion of each student and their parent or legal guardian o Souvenir Package o One night’s accommodations (optional) upon return to your departure city (room and taxes only)

 Approximate retail value of each Leadership Reward is $3,000.00 CAD (the actual value of each reward may vary and any difference between the stated value and actual value will not be awarded).


I am hoping Chris takes his camcorder and Lloyd has promised to take my camera so I have plenty of pictures to post of everything!!! :)

The night that Chris won, I got an Email from Susannah (I was out at dinner with Val and James) and it read "Do you have any more contests I can enter"????  Lol I guess she's interested in trying now ;)

Well done Chris!!!  :)  Enjoy your trip!!

A page of Chris.....



Most of todays pages use some elements from the 'Hope for Haiti' digital kit that I posted about this morning!!  If you are a digital scrapbooker or are considering starting digital scrapbooking, please consider buying this kit!

First attempt at using a mask!!



I want to learn how to use masks but I am struggling....I tried a few and couldn't figure it out.  I ended up using this simple one and following a tutorial on Jessica Sprague's site HERE.  I'm going to try this simple technique in future but now I'm having problems with my layers because I can't position anything in front of the picture/ overlapping the picture because of the masked layer....??????

Hhhmmmm still soooooo much to learn!!!  I do love the effect of masks though and Chris sat and went through some Youtube videos with me and tried to help too....Thanks Chris!!!
