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,

Give A Girl The Right Shoes

 Good morning to you!

It is hard to believe that in just a few days

July will be half over. *shocking*

We had a lovely weekend spent with family,

enjoying each other and missing our loved ones

that are watching us from heaven.

We celebrated two beautiful young woman who are

now high school graduates. We are so very proud of them.

Today, is my day to pick a stamp set to high light

from The Project Bin.

Wise Woman is what I chose to work with.

 I adore this set with all of the different sentiments.

Now I am a shoe girl but sadly only have a few pairs of

beautiful heels; that I am unable to wear now. *sigh*.

I love people watching for dress shoes. 

There are so many cute/beautiful shoes.

On the card above, I stamped the sentiment and image.

Then stamped the shoe separately and fussy cut it out to pop

it up in the center.

Some circle dies, pattern paper, butterfly punches

and woo-la the card was done. 

Please join us from Monday - Friday on our blog.

We have inspiration for you on these days.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Wishing you a very happy day!

Hip, Hip, Hooray!

 Good morning!

My card today has me feeling like

some spring colors are needed.

We are still getting snow the last 5 or 6 mornings; up to about 5cm

It is all melted by the afternoon, so things are

really starting to green up.

The stamp set, being highlighted today

is 

Birthday Girl

from The Project Bin

Isn't the sentiment and design around it just amazing!

I mean who wouldn't love to celebrate a half birthday?

Well, this girl is going to start...

Thanks Denise for such a wonderful set

Good, Good Morning!

We had a snowy weekend here.

Which has made the roads very, very icy.

The weekend was full of volleyball

it has some highs and lows but in the end was successful.

Today, is The Project Bin Monday for me.

My latest creation is 

from our brand new stamp set

Deer Mom

 

Each one of the sentiments are so amazing. I just simply 

adore what Denise created. Perfect for mother's day 

and many other occasions too.

While making this card the items used 

were Deer Mom Stamp set, Gina Marie Stitched/scalloped oval dies,

Cuttlebug embossing folder, Stampin' Up paper (solid colors)

unknown pattern papers, Martha Stewart Punch and flowers/pearls.

day this week to see much more inspiration.

Have an amazing day

and
