Katie and Outside Fun

Good morning!

We have had some very exciting news

this pass week.

Our middle son Robin and his girlfriend Summer

are now engaged.

It brings us so much joy and honestly

something wonderful to plan and look forward too.

The weather has been beautiful. 

On Father's Day we were able to have a

picnic with my dad and enjoyed it.

We are kind of having a mini heat wave here.

Everything is getting really dry.

So if mother nature was inclined to have it

beautiful during the day and rain at night. I wouldn't be opposed...LOL.

We have a brand new and fun filled challenge for you

this week at Creative Knockouts.

We are on Challenge #407

and Kelly would like to see

some Outside Fun.

Our wonderful sponsor for this week is Laurie Furnell Ink

Our prize is 2 digi sets

The image, I used today is one from

 Katie & Kit Sunflowers

Thank you so much for letting

me high light this image.

This image reminds me of playing on the farm

with the cats and I did accidently pull some

pretty flowers out of the flower beds for

my grandma. It was so much fun to chase the butterflies

and to climb the trees.

The image below was colored using Copic Markers.

The stitched layers were made using My Favorite Things

Rectangle Stitched Dies.

The pattern paper is from Doodlebug

A butterfly punch from Martha Stewart 

Paper from Stampin' Up.

We would really like it if you came to join us this week.

I look forward to seeing what our challenge of Outside Fun

inspires in you.

Thank you so much for joining me today!

Wishing you a beautiful day!

Hugs,

Have A Sweet Birthday!

 Good afternoon!

Girlfriends are awesome and just make our days brighter, are shoulders to lean on and can have treasured memories with. Lori would like us to celebrate Girlfriends for Challenge #361.

Hope you like the summery feel of this card. I wanted to highlight the hearts to tried to make grey/black dresses. The texture is on the black piece of paper and then highlighted with pearls.

Summer Lovin'

Good, good morning! We have been enjoying our first week of holidays. The weather has been beautiful so far but very hot. 

We would love for you to join us at Creative Knockouts for Challenge #201 - Summer Fun.  My card above is made with my favorite new little bear. Summer fun means so much to me but spending time by the water is always the best. My image was colored using copic markers and the waves I tried to hand draw. They need some work but it was fun trying it. My stamps are retired from Craftin' Desert Divas. The paper is from Doodlebug and Stampin' Up. 

OUR SPONSOR FOR THIS WEEK IS CTMH  ($25 Gift Pack) Thank you so much!
