Beautiful Blocks - Faith

Happy Thursday! I am back to share my DT creation with you for Creative Knockouts. Challenge #195 this week is Embossing. Our wonderful sponsor this week is Bugaboo Stamps and I would like to thank them for letting me use Beautiful Blocks - Faith. 

Prize: 4 images

Copic Markers were used to color my image. The embossing folder is Cuttlebug and the papers are from Stampin Up.

It is another busy week here but honestly, it is making time go by fast, just not as much time in my craft room. It is really hard to believe that there is only 1 month left of school for our daughter. It seems like this school year has been put on warp speed. 

Please come and join us for our fun challenge.

Happy Father's Day

Good morning! I have to say yesterday was a wet, windy, crazy day of driving for appointments.  The best part of it was getting to see our grandson, kids, and mom/dad. It was a quick visit but any amount of snuggle time is great. Today is full of appointments too and this weekend will be busy with company.

We are on the last Thursday of May at 4 Crafty Chicks and our wonderful hostess is Lori. Lori would like us to make a FATHER'S DAY creation for Challenge #352.

The card above has been made with Stampin Up papers and embossing folder. The image is colored with Copic Markers and highlight an Unbranded die. The white scalloped edges is a Gina Marie die, the rectangle is MFT and the Happy Father's Day is an Unbranded Die.

 My fellow Chicks Leanne, Nance, and Lori have amazing inspiration to share with you.  Please come on over and join us.

Wedding

Hello, Hello, Hello! Today is 4 Crafty Chicks day but before I get to the details of our brand new challenge there is some spectacular news to share with you! Rob and I have become grandparents last Thursday to our very first grand baby. Our son Robin and his girlfriend Summer had a precious little baby boy! We are over the moon and well I am busting at the seems with being able to love and adore Emery.

4 Crafty Chicks are on challenge #351 and it is me who is the hostess. Today is my 21st wedding Anniversary and it has me thinking about weddings. Wedding season is around the corner and with love in the air, I thought it would be fun do something with Weddings.

Challenge #351 - WEDDING

My card above is made using unbranded dies and Stampin Up paper. I did use Wink of Stella on the Swans, wish I get it so you can see it better.

My fellow chicks have outdone themselves in the Hen House again. Be sure to hop on over to see their beautiful creations and then show us what you got.

Craft On!

Hello, friends! I must apologize for my late post for Lil Patch of Crafty Friends. It was a crazy busy week and with two days of musicals with our daughter and then a weekend end of Provincial Handball, I forgot to schedule my post and left it in draft form (thought I was all organized) Both musical days were very successful and the girls finished 7th place in the Province. A successful week/weekend it has been. Any time now we will also have our first grandchild. Must say it is sooooo very exciting. Okay, let's get to the fun stuff.

I would like to say thanks to Denise for being a wonderful blog owner and challenge hostess each week. I look forward to seeing her creations but she has passed the baton of the blog ownership to Lynn aka Lynnpenguin for Lil Patch of Crafty Friends.

Over at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, we have an amazing new challenge with awesome sponsors. Thank you so much to  Peppercus Design - Guinea Pig with Stamp Set

The Guinea Pig image was colored using Copic's and using Taylored Expressions pattern paper. Flowers were added to highlight the oval dies (MFT), the lattice die (Unbranded), the letter die (unbranded) was used to craft on as well, I thought it needed a little bit of something extra.
