Our Home Mini Album
Hello friends and thank you so much for coming by. Today I’m sharing my first Mini Album for Paige made with beautiful Truly Grateful and a number of Paige’s versatile and pretty cut files.
Sometimes I’m still amazed by how challenging scrapbooking can be, even though I’ve been doing it for years. Truth is, I started this album twice, changing theme’s midway, LOL!
Because in the end, my album is about our home. After our lake home of 25 years sold quickly, we decided to rent in Edmonton for a few months while we continued to look for that, ‘special one’.
Three years later, when our friend and landlord gave us a gentle nudge, we finally found our home here in Riverdale.
What we love about Riverdale is its proximity to downtown and nature too. We’re just a heartbeat away from walking trails and the river, but close to work too. I can still be a gardener, but on a much smaller scale than our country home. Which leaves me time to enjoy my favourite past-time, playing with paper.
In the end, it turned out lovely. Please join me at Paige Taylor Evans.com for a close up peek and all the product detail.
See you there, xo Kelly

Aw, thank you so much Lavinia! It’s the first step to downsizing. ‘Citysizing’ 😀 Smaller yard, shorter commute and more. We loved country life, all the space, solitude and a community spirit. All thing I’m sure you must enjoy !! xo

Thanks again Lindy !! Have you ever made one? It was hard to decide on a theme, but once I got going, it all came together. I did start over once and broke into a cold sweat a few times, LOL! But a fun challenge ❤ ❤ ❤

Hello hello mama P ! Thanks so much for that and for watching the video too. Big learning curve to making videos, LOL! It takes me a while to do the voice over because I get so tongue tied. But the more I do them, the better I’ll be (hopefully ha! ) xoxox k

I can imagine it is quite the challenge! I really admire those people who talk naturally and let it flow as if they are having a conversation with an actual person standing in front of them – I’d be waiting for some verbal or even non-verbal feedback and we’d go pretty much nowhere 😀 I thought your voice over was natural – it sounded just like you would if we were chatting ❤

Thank you for the encouragement Pauline. I think we never sound like we think we sound. The recorded voice seems like someone else, so there’s a bit of a disconnect with the ol’ brain LOL. ❤

😀 😀 😀 I love your accent and could listen to you and the girls chit chat all day long. You could do a show like ‘The View’ but from NZ ❤

Hello dearest ! Thank you so much for your cheer and supportive message. The crafting is the easier part, ha! 😀 I record and splice and delete and re-record the voice over until I’m not a mumbling nut. LOL! I have a whole new admiration for the gals who do entire process video’s ❤ Thanks for being here, it means a lot xo K
