Love & Care.....and the WINNER IS......

I am happy to announce the winner of my Mining for Memories Red Lake Convention Blog Candy Winner is DRUM ROLL.......

Mary Lou!!!

To enter, convention goers had to post a comment to my blog with the phrase "Mining for Memories"  Mary Lou said "I had a great time at Mining for Memories Convention.  I'm not a newbie any more."
Here are the cards individually.  The entire blog candy package is in my August 16th post.

These first two cards were CASEd from Vicki Burdick.  I changed the colors and placement.  The Perfect Plum, Blush Blossom and Sahara Sand combo came from the Color Coach.  I highly recommend this tool if you have trouble choosing colors for your projects.

This third card was a CASE from another demonstrator, Brandy Cox.  I used her placement of the flowers as my guide for this focal piece.

So thanks so much to those that entered!  I'll be sure to have another Blog Candy event in the near future!!   As always, I'd be happy to help you with ideas and supplies for all your scrap booking and card making projects.

Congratulations Mary Lou!!  Thank you to all those from Mining for Memories Convention 2011 that entered to win.

Winter Wonderland in Northwestern Ontario

It couldn't look more majical than it does in Red Lake right now.  The morning frost on the trees has created a beautiful setting for Christmas.  This picture was taken Christmas Eve.

These pictures were taken around 8:30 a.m. Christmas Day.  It is very overcast, so they look quite grey, but in person, the beauty is quite breathtaking. 

Our backyard.

Merry Christmas!  Have a blessed day!

Mining for Memories Photos

Group photo!  One similar to this will be in the Winter Issue of Canadian Scrapbooker.  We were all thrilled to have co-founder Katharina Doyle come to Red Lake for our Mining for Memories Scrapbooking convention.  That's her front and centre on the right with our fearless leader Catherine Mochrie on the left.  Thanks Lori for providing me with the photo!

Saturday workshop ladies with their easel cards.  Hope you had fun.
