It’s the ScrapMatters iNSD Blog Train!! Welcome aboard! You should have arrived from Cheryl’s (gonewiththewind) blog.  Are you having a fun weekend or what?!  ScrapMatters is having a rockin’ party this weekend, if you haven’t already, be sure to check out the festivities and join in on some of the fun games and events that are happening. Check it out:

Here is the master schedule:

Now for what you’ve come for….the blog train! I hope you are loving all the goodies you’ve been collecting along the way! They are all made with this fab new kit from the ScrapMatters Design Team:

Isn’t it gorgeous? It’s all about vintage with a fresh and fun colour palette, I love it! I love vintage-y things in general. I love the story behind these things, the memories they invoke. One of my favourite possessions is an old hand knit sweater that my one Grandmother knit for my other Grandmother. It’s as old-fashioned as tea (as my Grandmother would say LOL) but the fact that it holds memories of both Grandmothers just seems to make it more cozy and comforting than all the other sweaters I own!

Speaking of my Grandmothers, here is some “Classic Beauty” word art for you all, I hope you like it!

ScrapMatters Birthday Blog Train

Hi everyone! Welcome to my stop on the ScrapMatters Birthday Blog Train! You have arrived from Plum Dumpling Designs.

I love birthdays, and each one is special in it’s own way. But one especially memorable birthday for me, was my son’s 8th birthday. He chose to have an “Echo Age” Birthday. Their premise is One Meaningful Cause, One Meaningful Gift. My mom had just been diagnosed with cancer and it was definitely on all of our minds, including my son’s. He chose to donate half of his birthday money to Camp Ooch, a camp for children with cancer.  I was so proud of him for choosing to do that at such a young age. My mom was in tears when she heard who he had donated to. It was such a special birthday. We had a big party for him and for his One Meaningful Gift, he got a new bike:

And here is your freebie made with Cupcakes and Candles which is free with a $20 purchase (Aug 6-12) from the ScrapMatters store!
