Happy Friday everyone! Although it's just about over now!

I have a fun photo to share today.

One of the things weve been doing each summer for the past couple of years is plant a garden. Actually dh has been doing most of the planting.

I went out this evening and was very surprised to see how many strawberries were ripe!


So, of course, I had to pick them!
What about you?
Do you grow anything? If so, we'd love to see your pics!!

TECHNIQUE Tuesday -June 23

Well I have to apologize, because I had full intentions of showing you an awesome stamping/ masking technique I learned from Heidi Swapp herself!!! And When I woke up this morning I discovered my hubby took our Camera to work with him :( I can share it with you before my month is over, maybe even tonight, after he comes back. So in the mean time I will leave you with a super cool tutorial on how to make your very own Prima lollipop flowers (Pinky's blog)!

SISTER Sunday - June 21st

Have you ever taught a scrapbooking class? I have taught lots of little tutorials online and to my group of girls, but never an actual class.

Have you ever been published? Yes, 5 times in Canadian Scrapbooker. Look for 4 of my Layouts in the upcoming Canadian Scrapbooker Basics Volume 4 Issue.

What type of camera do you use? I have a cheapy camera, but it floats my boat for now. Sony Cybershot DSC-H7. But my dream camera is a Canon Rebel. (drool).

What would be your perfect day? A nice brunch with my family, the works at a spa, shopping, and of course scrapping with my girls!

I can't imagine my life without ... My family, Ice Capps from Timmy's, and everything American Crafts.
