Don’t forget today is the last day to pick up Circles and Scallops Vol 4 for 50% off.

A Place to Call Home was Word Art World’s portion of the Gingerscraps May Buffet. However, that sale was May 1-5. Oops, I forgot to blog about it. So it’s no longer on sale, but it is still really cute.

That little sign saying everyone needs a place to call home called to me. I had to use it. I decided to scrap the photo of James and I with the sold sign in front of our first home. We no longer live there, but we made lots of memories the little over 6 years we did live there. Journaling reads: On December 4, 2004, our real estate agent Tom Coplen took us to visit six houses. House # 3 caught our interest right away. It was a nice size and had a decent yard. The kitchen was fabulous and it had a huge walk-in pantry. We came back for a second walk-through and put in an offer. It was accepted and we went through the buying process: inspection and negotiations. We closed Friday, January 14, 2005, but didn’t move in until about Valentine’s Day. This allowed us time to paint all rooms except closets and have laminate flooring installed in the three bedrooms, all prior to moving. The laminate flooring we had installed matched the existing flooring that was in the living, kitchen, and dining rooms and made it so the master closet was the only room with carpet in the whole house. We were so excited to become homeowners.

Weekly Masks

Posted on May 18, 2014 by Jennifer

Amy of Amy’s Designs is all about P52/Project Life. She makes the most amazing layouts for it. People were constantly asking her about them, so she decided to package up the masks she made and put them in the store so everyone could benefit. You can purchase Weekly Masks 1, Weekly Masks 2, Weekly Masks 3, Weekly Masks 4, and Weekly Masks 5 individually for $2.50 each or as a bundle for $10.

I have two layouts to share today using these masks. My friend Jillan happened to post some of these adorable photos of her daughter and nephew having a lemonade stand the same day I picked up this adorable lemonade kit as the free-with-purchase kit. I asked her to email the photos and some journaling and she obliged.

True North Scraps Sales

Posted on May 16, 2014 by Jennifer

It’s the long weekend in May in Canada. A quick history lesson before we get to the sale details… This is known as the Victoria Day long weekend, intended to celebrate Queen Victoria’s birthday, May 24th. She was the queen when Canada became a country rather than a colony of Britain. Originally the holiday was celebrated on May 24th only, but eventually it was changed to the 3rd weekend of May, which is usually close to the 24th.

Now a little trivia… in Canada, they use the slang term “two four” when they are talking about a case of beer (24 bottles in a case). They also don’t really give a hoot about Queen Victoria anymore because she died in 1901 and nobody from that time is alive anymore. This weekend has become more known as the first weekend of summer. Memo to Old Man Winter — time to go!

Since the May long weekend was originally May 24th, and since it is the first weekend of summer, there is a lot of beer consumed. So some smarty-pants came up with the idea of calling it May Two-Four. That became one of the nicknames of this holiday.

That leads me to the sale – finally!
