Now on to the show! Let's start off by getting to know me a little better...
Allison CopeI am a mom of only one little boy, 4 year old Spencer.
I am married to my best friend, Todd, for over 2 years now.
Our little family of three live in the wilderness of the Kootenay Mountains of British Columbia, Canada.
Here are 10 random facts about me....
- I walk with my big toes pointing up! Yup... for some reason I don't like planting my big toes on the ground when I walk... strange!!!!!
- I have only driven an automatic car maybe 10 times in my whole life! I have only owned stick-shift vehicles in my "driving" life.
- I got married to Todd in a BLACK wedding dress. Yup! BLACK!
- I am addicted to my computer. I use it so much that my poor husband had to go out and buy his own just to have time on a computer!!!
- My first scrappy publication was in a British magazine called The Scrapbook Magazine about 4 years ago.
- I giveaway a FREE set of myStamp BOX stamps EVERY month to one of my lucky blog readers. Click the banner at the top of my blog for details!
- We have LOTS of deer that trot through our yard everyday. I have loved watching all the does with their sweet little fawns grow up all summer long. And apparently jack o'lanterns are a deer delicacy.
- We moved to BC a little over a year ago. It took my Mom, my son and I only 3 days to drive out here from my home province of Ontario.
- I am afraid of heights!! On my second date with my husband, he convinced me to go snowboarding with him and I had to take a ski lift for one of the first times in my life. Awww!
- I met my husband through an on-line singles forum! We have been inseparable ever since... almost 6 years later!
I took Tina's sketch and rotated it 90 degrees and this is what I came up with....
First Snow
supplies: patterned paper, alphabet stickers, gem snowflake, button, BasicGrey; transparent snowflake paper, Making Memories; adhesive pearls, Kaisercraft; transparent snowflakes, MAMBI; other, thread. Thanks for playing along, and now you can hop on over to SUSAN'S BLOG. Don't forget to leave a comment!

Great l/o, I love that paper!! I want to see pics of the black wedding dress! A friend of mine was married in black and she was beautiful!
Nice work! I especially love that you used a snowflake printed transparency sheet as part of your layout. I want to scraplift that technique...which, I'm sure you know, is a sincere form of flattery.
