<u><b><span style="font-size: large;">Hello and welcome back to my leave of absence (LOA) from my Creative Studio.</span></b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been approximately 1.5 years since my last post on my blog here at Cottage Life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Life has presented many changes and experiences during my LOA and I have decided to hop back in say hello and that I am continuing to experience the Journey of Life. Extended family changes have kept me occupied and traveling the globe with my husband has brought new experiences meeting people who have enriched our lives.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Coronavirus Pandemic announcement of March 11, 2020 brought us home early from our travels on March 21st and after our 14 day travel quarantine we here in North America are making a difference around our homes as spring arrives. The staying home campaign, keeping us safe will allow us to achieving goals around the home that will provide our family lots of satisfaction.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wishing everyone Health and happiness while staying home safe.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been a season of change and adjustments as our families grow and celebrate milestones.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My son Andrew has returned from Asian modeling recently and is back in Canada enjoying </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
life in the big city. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The fashion industry schedules and calendar's take time to prep for seasonal production and marketing of their products and here is a pleasant surprise that we recently discovered.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Andrew has made it to a Men's Section within a department store in Asia. We are happy for his milestone success and hope to see a few more in the future.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
June is a big month for summer Weddings. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I live near a beautiful Floral Garden Park and its a place for many Weddings to have photo's taken. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I in fact had my Wedding photo's taken at this park 33 years ago.</div>

To celebrate June as Wedding month, I have created a special card for a Bride and Groom. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
is a twist to the traditional folded card.</div>

Hello and Welcome...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh my goodness it's May 1st already! 4 months have zipped past, with a late Spring start and still waiting for the weather to warm up and settle.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once that sun start's to shine with blue skies, I immediately think of </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
lake side breezes or ocean beaches.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To-day I am celebrating the month with the arrival of spring flowers in the garden, lake and oceans with new activity.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a sneak peek of my Easel Card that I made to celebrate the season.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is my double page layout that I created using the 13 Arts<u><i><b> Frosted Life collection (retired) </b></i></u>designed by Aida Domisiewicz. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used the Cold Wall sheet, Mrozne Paprocie and Gwiezdny Pyl pattern papers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Check out the store <a href="http://13arts.pl/pl/c/Papiery-do-scrapbookingu/1/1/default/1/f_producer_1/1"><u><i><b>here</b></i></u></a>.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
A trip to South Korea was a real travel adventure and hiking to the top of the mountain was breath taking. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I designed the layout with out using any black cardstock. I found some shades of grey, pink and blue that complemented the Frosted Life collection and I am pleased how it turned out considering the pictures have alot of dark texture within them.<br />

I kept the layout clean and simple as I wanted to place a lot of photo's on the layout. I followed a layout sketch which showcased many photo's. I hope to enter this double layout and give 13 arts some additional promotion later in the month.</div>

The birthday Bash has taken place during the month of February 2018 and this is my last submission to celebrate with the Winnie and Walter team.</div>

Stop by the blog and select the top tab the says 4th Birthday<a href="http://www.blog.winniewalter.com/2018/02/w-4th-birthday-bash-details.html"><u><i><b> Bash</b></i></u></a> to catch all of the inspirational submission from the Walter and Winnie designers and fan's of Winnie and Walter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today, I joined the challenge titled: Die Challenge with Lydia. Check<a href="http://www.blog.winniewalter.com/2018/02/w-4th-birthday-bash-die-challenge-with.html"><u><i><b> here</b></i></u></a> for the link.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was inspired by a previous post whereby designers were challenged to use left over embellishments to create a card. This got me going and I challenged my self with my embellishments to create a die cut card for Lydia's challenge.</div>
