Final Challenge ~ Feels Like Christmas

I just got home from Christmas shopping with my wonderful Mother In Law and her sweet Hubby! It is our annual shopping trip. We take my darling niece along as well. We start off with a big brunch at The Golden Griddle and when we are all bursting, head out to do some damage. The van slowly gets crowded as we pile gifts and goodies into it.

This always signals the beginning of my Christmas season.

Challenge: Leave me a comment below and let me know what signals the beginning of Christmas to you?

You will earn a ballot for the big Blog Draw that I will be doing tomorrow night after work!! You have until then to post a comment!

Challenge #7 ~ Love

I love a good word challenge. Ally and I post a word every Wednesday on the CCAS Blog as a challenge. It is so much fun to do and to use on a layout.

My word for this challenge is: Love

1 : strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties
2: affection based on admiration, benevolence, or common interests
3: an assurance of love
4: warm attachment, enthusiasm, or devotion
3 a: the object of attachment, devotion, or admiration

I used this word on a layout of Paige and her love of Webkinz. I'll post it in the morning. I am afraid the lighting isn't great for taking a picture right now. :)

My challenge is for you to use this word on your next layout or card. Please email it to me at: thynner5@yahoo.ca to earn your ballot for my $50.00 Blog Prize Draw.

**Deadline for challenges is December 1st**

Let it Snow.... ~ Challenge #6

We sure got dumped on with snow last night. It was so magical waking up this morning and looking out the window. It looked like a magic snow globe. Big fluffy snowflakes falling down over a pristine, untouched yard. Lovely.
Here is what our house and lane way looked in the morning:


By the time I fetched my camera, the kids were running through the yard with the dogs. They were all laughing and having a grand time. They must have stayed out there for well over an hour.

They got it and fired up the hairdryer to dry the dogs. How sweet. My bathroom now smells of a lovely combination of wet dog and burn hair. NICE!!??

We just sat down to relax when we heard the tractor pull up. Steve had gone to work to borrow the tractor to clean out our driveway. The girls hopped up and got their snowsuits back on and waited while Steve built them their mountain. Every year he builds this mountain of snow on the front lawn. Last year it was so high that it reached all the way up to the girls bedroom window. If it had been a door there they could have walked out and been on top of it.

They had lots of fun with Steve and the tractor. He let them sit in the bucket and raised them up and down. The best part was when he raised them a little, went over to the mountain and tipped the bucket. They slipped out of and onto the mountain. You could probably hear the fits of laughter all over Ontario. Maybe even as far as BC.....



Challenge #5:
I know that it's not winter for all my blog readers but for those of you that have winter.... I would like to see you post a snow picture on your blog. If you do not have any snow photos you can blog about what you love about it. I know some of you probably have never even seen snow. You can blog about that as well.
Just add a link to your blog or email me at: thynner5@yahoo.ca
You will earn a ballot for the $50.00 CHA Blog Draw!!
Bonus: Do a layout featuring snow as the subject and earn an additional ballot! Email me at: thynner5@yahoo.ca .
**Due Date: December 1st**

Happy Blogging!

Technique Corner ~ Challenge # 5

I have a fun technique to share with you today. I happen to have found something that is really fun and easy to do. It involves using a mask. Yes… todays lesson is all about using masks.

Heidi Swapp has cornered the market on masks. She has some amazing designs out there right now. I love them all. I think I may even have them all too. One of my favorites is the crown mask. I can’t believe I have had it and never used it until now.

So… what the heck is a mask anyways? It is a repositionable template that works the opposite of a stencil by giving you the negative image. It has a sticky surface that will cling and stay in place once you have positioned it. You can use any medium on it. Everything from paint, ink and chalk. I have used them all and I like the effect they each bring. When you use paint you get a great even, strong coverage. With ink you also get great coverage. When you use chalk you can easily blend colors and get a softer look.

Once you have chosen your mask and your medium you need to chose your background paper. Position your mask on your paper and apply your paint, ink or chalk over the mask. Once you’re satisfied with the result, gently peel the mask away. You are left with a beautiful negative image!! Then, just wipe the mask clean. They are completely reusable!!

I used white paint with a little Ranger Crystal Stickles on the following layout of DD. I loved the overall effect.


You can also make your own masks by using stickers. This is very easy to do. Just place them on your layout, paint or ink and once it is dry, just lift the stickers off.
Have fun and play around with different masks and mediums!!

Challenge #4:
My challenge for you today is to use a mask on your next project. You don't have to use paint, ink or chalk, you can also just trace an outline of the image. I have done this before as well. If you don't have a mask use stickers as your mask. The possibilites are endless!
Email your layout to me at: thynner5@yahoo.ca to earn a ballot into this month's $50.00 Blog Rak draw.
Remember you are creating to win the following:
October Afternoon Tab Book
Pink Paislee Pixie Stixs
Glimmer Mist

Crate Paper Rub ons

Birthday Wishes ~ Challenge #4

I still find it hard to believe that my Dad turns 61 years old tomorrow. I am so lucky to have him as my Dad. We have always been close. I look back over the years and find that we are closer now than ever before. Is it because of the cancer and almost losing him? Or is just that we are both older and wiser.

I was adopted by my parents at 4 days old. It was the best day of my life. I was fortunate to be raised by two loving people who adore me as much I do them.

My Dad is away on a business trip to Bermuda right now. He will not be around for his birthday but I wanted him to know how much I love him and how lucky I feel each and every day to have him as my Dad. I am grateful to God for letting him stay with me and my family a little bit longer.

My girls and I will be making cards for him tomorrow and we will celebrate his birthday when he gets back on Saturday. Here is a photo taken of him and my girls during the summer. Look at how happy they all are. Again... I am blessed!



Challenge #4:


In honor of my Dad's birthday.... I challenge everyone to blog about their Dad. Tell us a little something about them. Link back on my blog or email me at: thynner5@yahoo.ca. You will earn a ballot for your blog entry or email.

BONUS: Make a birthday card!! Email it to me at to earn another ballot for the Blog Prize!!Yep... the $50.00 value prize.

Challenge #3 ~ Cover It

I am a little behind right now. I have been battling strep throat and an ear infection and my Mom is quite ill as well. I will get caught up.... starting with another blog challenge!

This challenge entails covering up your chipboard! I admit that I love to pull out the paint, chalk or inks to cover my chipboard with. I also like to stamp and stickle my hipboard as well.

I recieved an amazing kit from Scrapdango an in it was some funky Maya Road tree shaped chipboard. Man.... was I ever excited about them.


I traced the top tree onto some of the green pattered paper from the Bella Blvd line. Yummy!! I then adhered it to my chipboard. On the base I used some awesome Ranger Crackle Paint. It gave the tree trunk a realistic look. I then grabbed a Maya Road bird that came with the kit and inked it with two diferent colors. I added a cute Kaiser Kraft pearl for the eye.



Here is my finished layout:



So... look through your stash of chipboard and cover it up. Then... place it on a layout. Email your layout to me at: thynner5@yahoo.ca to earn a ballot into this month's $50.00 Blog Rak draw. Remember you are creating to win the following:

I'm In Mourning.....

It is with great sadness that I announce the death of my camera. I am taking this loss very hard and I am finding it difficult to even get my head off the pillow in the morning. The girls and Steve have been trying to take my mind of this terrible tragedy and even though I do appreciate the distraction it doesn't make the loss any easier to bear.

My Mom.... bless her heart..... has given me her camera to use in the meantime. I feel like such a traitor even having it in my house. I can't even bring myself to hold it in my hands. My loss is still too fresh.

I have had my darling Olympus in my life for over two years now. Two, long, glorious years. It has seen me through some great times. Some family triumphs and some low times too. It has helped document my Father-in-law and my Dad's cancer battles, my children's milestones and my hubby's amazing work. It has been to the beach, Canada's Wonderland, Pumpkinfest, concerts, modeling contests, riding shows and to meet all my friends. I know my camera will miss our fun times this summer at Camp Labamke and seeing all the children's smiling faces.

I still have it sitting on my desk. A testament to my love and admiration for all it has done for me.
I guess I feel some guilt for it's demise and that is why I can't part with it just yet. I was at the girls birthday party at McCulley's Farm and I bent down to tie up my shoelace and it came flying out of my case and crashed on the cement floor. Oh the agony.... oh the pain it must have gone through.

I tried to take a photo after the tragic accident and although it took the photo, the photo was in a 3D look. I took it to be looked at but, the look in the technician's eyes told me all was lost.

At least I will always treasure the last two photos I took. They may look off to most but they mean the world to me.

I will share my last two photos with you. The first one was of Paige and the second one was of a chair and pumpkin. Alas, unless I am in need of a special effect photo, my Olympus will be sitting on my shelf. A constant reminder of all I have lost due to my careless and reckless behavior that fateful day.






I hope everyone will take the time today to hug your camera and tell it how much it means to you. You never know when it may be gone from your life.

In Loving Memory of my Olympus SP-510UZ:

I will be back tomorrow with another challenge for you to girls. I just a little more time today. Thank you for your understanding.

Challenge # 1

I hope everyone is ready for some new challenges this month. I am really excited to have another month long contest. I think I will post a big week long challenge blitz again at the end of the month. Check back daily of some time limited chances to win. I may even post a bonus RAK like I did last month.

We all have our comfort zone and generally stick it on a regular basis. It is where we tend to use the same type of products, the same style and the same techniques. We know what it will produce. SOMETIMES... it's fun to step outside of the box and create something you wouldn't normally do. If you are a 12x12 scrapper.... you can scrap an 8x11, 8x8, 6x6 or and 6x12. If you are always creating linear pages where everything is always straight and even, try turning a few elements on it's side. If you like everything crisp and clean, grunge, ink and tear. If you tend to use three colors all the time, then switch to colors you don't use or the opposite colors on a color wheel.


For me.... I did a round layout. I love trying to make everything fit in a circle. I used a great sketch from Ally that was posted on her SO Sketchy Blog. If you haven't done a circle layout before.... give it a go!! You can also find some great sketches at PageMaps. Click on the round maps.


If you look at a circle layout and wonder what the heck to do with it.... I know alot of people (myself included) who place it on a piece of coordinating cardstock and put it in an album.


So... my challenge to you is to step outside of your comfort zone and try something new. It could be a round layout, like me. It could be a different size layout, use a new style or a new technique.


Please email your creations to me at: thynner5@yahoo.ca and put Thynner Blog Challenge in the subject line so it doesn't get lost in my emails. You will receive a ballot for every challenge you complete!!
**Due date: December 1st at midnight EST**


I'll post a picture of what you're playing for this month..... tomorrow. Look out... I have another great selection for you.


Happy Scrapping!

Blog Winner Announcement

Since this was such a fun month long challenge I didn't want to just use an online random generator. I wanted to do this the old fashioned way!! Since DD is still home sick I decided to include her in the draw.

We tallied up all the ballots. I am still in shock that we had 66 ballots!! The gallery is full of wonderful creations and a bunch of you blogged and commented as well. There were even a couple gals who did all of the challenges. You rock!!

We wrote every one's name down on a piece of paper and DD grabbed her purple flower box to put them all in. She then brushed her hair and checked her jammies. We then went out on the porch and she sat down on "Ally".



After mixing up the ballots with a twirl of her hand..... she reached in and ..... grabbed a ballot!!







She then held it up to show us who won the big RAK valued at over $50.00 of new products. Can you see your name??


Yep.... the winner of my first ever Blog Rak is..................................................................

I am all set to go to bed now. It's been a long day. I had both DD and Paige home today. They are still so sick. I actually had DD at the hospital for over three hours today undergoing tests. I am so tired but I dare not complain. It is nothing compared to my sweet little ones being sick.

SO... I wanted to post a final challenge. It couldn't be any easier either!! Just post a comment in this thread letting me know what your favorite challenge was. What you liked best about spending time on my blog? I also want to know whether you'd be interested in doing it all again next month. Another prize, various challenges posted through the month with a week long blast?? Did you like it? Hate it? Want me to change it? Let me know.

I am looking forward to reading your comments! :)

Mini Challenge #3

This is a blog challenge. With Halloween over and the sugar high subsiding.... I want to hear what was your favorite Halloween memory. It can be from this past weekend or from years past.

I have two that will forever stick in my mind. Mainly because they seem to mirror each other.

When I was 8 years old I had broken my ankle the day before Halloween. I had a fresh cast on my ankle and no way to move around. My costume hung on the closest door. Mocking me as my brother, dressed in his Star Wars costume headed out the door. I was so sad. It seemed like an eternity that Jay was out Trick or Treating with my Dad.

When he finally returned I was expecting him to mock me as he did when he left. Instead he sat down in front of me and handed me a bag, full of candy!!! He had asked at every house if he could have an extra treat for his sister. Some houses gave more when they found out!! I will never forget how I felt when he did that. My brother may be big, and scary to most BUT he has a heart of gold and is one of the most loyal people you could ever meet.

Flash forward to this year: I had Emmy home from school on Halloween with a fever and diarrhea. Paige came home from school looking tired. I gave Emmy some medicine to get her through the night. I dressed them up for Trick-or-Treating. They were all excited and I snapped some adorable pictures of them.

As we were going around the block, Paige literally dropped to the ground and couldn't get up. She was crying and said she was sick. She was burning up. I had Emmy rush to a friends house and they took her home. A few houses later, DD did the same and also had to go home. Emmy was so sweet when we continued and asked for extra candy for her sick sisters. People were more than generous.
When we got home both DD and Paige were lying down, still in their costumes. The look on their faces when Emmy handed them bags of candy warmed my heart. At first I thought this was the worst Halloween ever but... it really was the best Halloween!!

Here are some pics I got before we tried to venture out:


Halloween cuties:




Emmy ~ an angel. So true!! So sweet, innocent and giving!




DD ~ a devil!! Full of spark and tons of unending energy. A little sassy too!



Paige~ a pink kitty. So sweet, tender and loving!



Please blog about your most memorable Halloween. You can provide a link below or send me an email at thynner5@yahoo.ca. If you don't have a blog you can email me your Halloween memory. BONUS BALLOTS..... if you post some Halloween pics or a layout.


***All the challenges this week are due in my inbox( thynner5@yahoo.ca) or on the blog November 3rd!! I have extended the dates so everyone has more time to create and send their layouts or cards to me. I will announce the winner on the 4th. ***

I would like you to make a card. One that gives "Thanks" to someone special.


Here is a card I did for The Scrapping Bug. It is my way to say "Many Thanks" to each of you for taking part in my blog this month and for all the amazing creations I have in the gallery so far!! I hope you will continue to check in as I plan on doing another Blog RAK and challenge run for the month of November as well. I am having way too much fun to let this end. :)

Challenge #6

I apologize for not getting this posted last night. My girls and I have all been suffering the last dew days with what Paige affectionately calls "The Curse of the Green Poo". Ah... children come up with the weirdest things!?

I have an easy one for you to do. Everyone loves a good scraplift challenge. At least I hope so. :)

The following layout is one I created for The Scrapping Bug using Basic Grey Mellow Line. I adore the colors so much. They happen to be the easiest papers I have ever worked with. Once again the darling subject is my sweet Paige.


Quote Reads: "My heart is forever at your service". ~ Shakespeare

My challenge is for you to create your own version of my layout. Find something in it to inspire you to make it your own. The beauty in scraplifting is that you can take one, two, three or more elements and incorporate it into your creation.
