FAMILY DAY!

So this is the second year that Ontario is celebrating its newest statutory holiday Family Day. Such a nice idea. Not that I did anything much... went to visit my brother and his son, with my DH and sons. A really nice afternoon. Chatting and watching the kids play.
My sister in law was not there today... so in troth, I spent a lot of time listening to my husband and brother talk...
I had forgotten that she is a scrapbooker! So imagine my surprise when I saw her albums on their coffee table!! I sat down with much excitement and flipped through the pages. Her layouts are so cute and well planned. I have watched her scrapbook before and she takes a long time to complete one page. She puts a lot of thought into each of her layouts and it shows! Her style is so different from my own. She will cut her photos into circles and ovals and mat around them. I don't ever remember doing that, and to this day can't say that I would be that comfortable doing it. But my sister in law does such nice work that the photos look like they were taken to fit those spaces and shapes that she creates.
Sometime I will have to see if she will let me post some of her work on here...

On a different note - my inchies are done!! ;)
The sea ones turned out way better than i had originally anticipated. I am pleased with them. I will get some up here soon.
Now here is the thing - I have signed up for another inchie swap and need to make 48 more! Oh well... thank goodness they are little! They shouldn't take long at all. They keep me busy and out of trouble ;) Speaking of these, I should go and plan what I am going to do for them!
