We Are Family

Casey met his cousin Jasper for the first time in December 2008. They got along well as they enjoyed a walk in Varley Park.

Cup of Happy

Nothing says Christmas like the red Starbucks cups. :)

We Fish You A Merry Christmas

We went to the Chateau Laurier to view the Trees of Hope for CHEO this year. There was a Senators tree as well as a Fisher tree! This documents the tree and our silent auction win! :)

Hello My Name Is....

Fun and colourful, just like Casey himself. This page lists some of his many nicknames.

Peter Pan

Casey dressed up as Peter Pan for Halloween this year. Love love love the way this page turned out! Just look at those Karen Foster brads!!! Too cute.

Alanis

Thanks heavens for the Internet! My photos sucked so I was able to use one of mine (the one on the left) and grab a nicer one from Flickr (on the right).

Anton Volchenkov

Me and Anton taken at the Sens season ticket skate on October 19, 2008.

Masham Bridge

Masham Bridge in Gatineau Park.

Marven

Whipped this one up in record time at last night's crop. Really love that BoBunny paper line...

Wards Creek

Where in the World...

These were all the different state/provincial license plates in our hotel parking lot when we vacationed in Niagara Falls in 2007.

Oasis

Memories of Oasis, a very mediocre concert. I had no photos but found these awesome shots on Sandy Sharkey's blog. Thanks, Sandy! :)

Erik

Not at all what I had envisioned for this page. :( Might contstitute a redo at some point...but only when I can make it perfect.

TV Time

Something quick and simple to capture my tv viewing in the 2007 season.

Le woof

A fun page for Casey ... based on one of Stephanie's layouts.

Clematis In Bloom

My gorgeous clematis plants in bloom, June 2008. Bazzill Stitches, 7 Gypsies paper.

Both pages of Estella

Estella, part 2

Gone.

Gone. The pieces of my heart are missing you. In memory of Erik.

Juno is Love

Juno quickly became an instant favourite as soon as I saw it. I could not resist making this layout ... so much orange, which is such a happy colour!

Drop the bum

Estella

My very favourite baby girl - Estella! A Scrap-en-Masse kit using the delightful Fancypants papers.

I Like Mike

Mike Fisher signing autographs at the September 2007 WWR.

Great Glebe Garage Sale

Just some random shots from the Glebe Garage Sale. 4th layout this weekend for the YMDB online crop.

A Walk in the Woods

Third layout this weekend using a picture of Andrew and Casey taken in April 2007 down in the woods along the river. I really should have more than 3 layouts done considering I am trying to participate in an online crop but I find a lot of distractions, including the computer when I crop at home. Still, 3 is way better than I would normally accomplish in a weekend.

Great Blue Heron

I'd always heard that great blue herons were quite elusive, but this guy was just walking down the street near the entrance to Lac Philippe in Gatineau Park in October 2007.

Bon Chien

Casey

Made this and the Bon Chien layout from a kit I picked up at Scrap en Mass.

Because you fit the suit

A layout about Elvis tribute artist Shawn Barry. The title and journalling are from what I think is a classic Brady Bunch episode - adios Johnny Bravo. Greg gets the gig only because he fits the suit. :) Not true in Shawn Barry's case as he is a super talented performer but that's what this beautiful baby blue suit made me think of.

Dear Santa

Autumn View

This, the 21st layout of 2008 came together in a jiffy. I wish they were always this easy for me! :)

Sno Way!

The winter of 2007-08... photos of one of the biggest storms we had in March. We almost beat the record that was set in 1970-71. I probably jinxed it by including the total snow accumulation in this ... I bet it snows again and I have to redo it! :)

Mike Fisher

A total case of my friend Pattie's layout. Okay, not total... her paper had flowers and mine has stars. Her layout featured a cute little girl, mine features a hot guy! :)

Avril

This one was so much fun... lots of bling and glitter thanks to a shopping trip through Jane's stash! :)

The Heat is On

Dany Heatley and Marianne Wilkinson taken at a pre Sens Skills brunch, Feb. 10, 2008. Unfortunately Dany's autograph got smudged in transit.

Oh Senators Tree

The Christmas tree in our family room - this one is all decked out in Ottawa Senators ornaments. Go Sens Go!

Essence of Deke Part 2

Essence of Deke Part 1

Derek's memorial service. Thank you for the music and the memories. Rock on!!

Scrap Chicks

Love Elsie, glitter, Bazzill In Stitch'z. 3 of my very favourite things highlighting some of the coolest scrap chicks I know!

Mamma Mia ... part 2

Mamma Mia

A two page layout to remember my 7th trip to Mamma Mia. (Can you say obsessed?) Sadly the layout did not translate very well from what I had in my head. This one was done with a MySweetSpuds.com kit.

Christmas Greetings!

An idea from Ali Edwards. I cut squares out of Christmas cards we received in 2007. For the ones that were too special I left them whole and put them in the pocket on the page. First time sewing on a layout - turned out not too bad....just a little crooked! :)

Yappy Easter!

A Ruff Life

A quickie to show off Casey's new haircut and an excuse to use my Cricut markers! Casey is all ready for the green beer with his St. Patrick's Day bandana!!

Halloween 2007

Casey doing his best Johnny Depp for Halloween, 2007.

Guitar Hero

Andrew loves his Guitar Hero! Definitely the best Christmas gift we gave ourselves in 2007! :)

Skating on the Rideau Canal

Skating on the Rideau Canal, an Ottawa winter tradition. Lots of bling and sparkle on this one!

Elf Yourself!

Yup, we got elfed!
