SMASHing time!

Hi All

It has been a while! We got back from Canada on Sunday….strange to think that I was in Michaels craft store this time last week . We had a fabulous time away. We saw so much so it was exhausting, but I now have lots to SMASH about! Scroll down for a few of my fave pics from my hols-I won’t bore you all with the details but some of the highlights were visiting the beautiful Rockies, seeing a bear walking along the road (!), braving the Capillano Suspension Bridge and of course visitng Michaels Craft Shop! Canada is definitely somewhere we will return to, especially as Steven wants to try his hand at climbing a mountain…eek!

However, it is nice to be at home, lazing about, drinking proper tea! Lol! We were also hankering after a roast dinner so looking forward to that at the weekend…yum! Anyway, getting back to SMASHing! I managed to get a bargain green SMASH book from Walmart and I have already started documenting our trip. Below you will find my first page all about the flight and our first day. It was the first time I had ever flown so quite a momentous occasion for me! Hope you like it-I am trying not to worry about the layout of this book, I am truly going to SMASH it all in!

It isn’t very colourful though…mmm…may continue adding to it. Here is my second page so far, a work in progress! Want to print some piccies off for this one I think.

Hope you like them. I love the background papers in the green book, they fit really well with our trip as they contain coastal views, trees and mountains!

Here are a few of my favourite pics from our hols……

The beautiful Lake Louise-the water was just stunning!

Me and hubby at the top of Sulphur Mountain in Banff.

Gorgeous stop off on our way to Jasper.

Can you spot the bear?! On the roadside on our way to Jasper.

Lynn and John (my in-laws who took us to Canada) on an actual glacier! Think this is a lovely picture of them both!

A view of Vancouver from one of my favourite places, Granville Island.

The cutest little sea otter in Vancouver aquarium.

One of the grizzly bears on top of Grouse Mountain (They were in an enclosure-not sure I would have liked to have met these two on the side of the road!)

Back to reality now Isn’t too bad, had a lovely Christmas crafting day yesterday with my best friend Becky. Will upload my makes over the weekend…going to do a little more today whilst watching Murder She Wrote! My guilty pleasure

Hope you are all well and thanks for looking. Will try and do some blog hopping over the nest few days and visit you all.

Hugs
