Memories Are Made in Flip Flops

Good morning,

We are expecting some much needed rain.

Thank you to our sponsor for this wonderful image

they have let me use for this challenge.

Svario: Still Summer 

It is an awesome image that can be used

for so many different types of cards.

I had so much fun coloring it up with

my copic Markers. 

This image has everything in that I love to take

to the beach to make memories.

Bright colors were in order.

I love a good ice cream and fruit with some chips when at the beach.

Sitting by the water on a beautiful or cloudy day

just makes my heart feel at peace.

It is a place that some of my favorite memories have 

been made with our family and grand children.

So when I came across this saying on-line for sentiments.

It truly is perfect.

Some of our best memories have been made in flip flops

and to be honest crocks.

Image is from Mirtillamente Digital Stamps - Svario: Still Summer

Catch A Little Dream

 

Good morning to you!

Well, how the weather can change here in Alberta.

Monday it was a balmy +15, super windy but beautiful.

Now to Thursday -8 but feels like -14 and snow.

It sounds like down south got a huge dump of snow,

blizzard like conditions.

We have a little bit but the ice after the freezing rain is not nice at all.

We are still under a snow warning.

We have a brand new challenge for you today at Creative Knockouts

This was honestly, the perfect image for her.

Critter Crazy Challenge Guest Designer

Good morning and welcome to my blog.
Today, I am very excited to be a Guest Designer
for Critter Crazy Challenge Blog

 Challenge #109 - Anything Goes - Must have a critter/animal/insect 

(real or fantasy), should be the focal point.

Challenge runs from April 1-25

My chosen image is an very old stamp from the Stampin' Up set 

The image of a Mare with her foal was perfect for this challenge and card.

Our son and his girlfriend welcomed their little son in March.

Her birthday was the next day, so it was just the perfect stamp.

They both absolutely love horses.

Stampin' Up was used on everything except for the Happy Birthday die.

I had to dig deep into my old stash and am sure glad that I 

have kept all of these items to make this card. 

Some items used were from my mom's

stash too. It was awesome to have a mixture of our

stuff on this special card.

Please come and join us at Critter Crazy Challenge Blog.

The DT have amazing inspiration for you too.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Spring Is In The Air - Heart 'n Rose

 

Good morning! Welcome to my blog.

The last few days have just been gorgeous.

The snow has been melting and the blue skies

just boost ones mood.

We have had rain that has melted a lot of snow too.

Spring is truly, in the air in central Alberta.

March is flying by.

Last week our family expanded by one more beautiful grandchild.

Our grandson Stetson Robin has brought us all so much joy already.

Being a mom has always been my favorite but being a grandma

and watching my two boys with their kids

is just everything, I have dreamed of and so much more. 

It just touches your soul in many different ways.

Onto why you are here.
