Life Looks Beautiful On You!

Good morning!

It is hard to believe we are on the last

Thursday of August

and for some school has started and others

it will be starting just after the long weekend.

Summer sure did fly by fast this year.

Our daughter is going into grade 11

this year. Here is hoping it is spectacular for everyone.

Today, we have a brand new challenge over at

Creative Knockouts.

Challenge #261 - Something To Say - include a sentiment on the front

Our wonderful sponsor this week is from

Crafty Sentiments Designs

Prize: 3 images

The image they let me highlight is called

Kai

Thank you so much for letting me showcase her.

I colored her using my copic markers,

Used a tag die

The oval dies are from Stampin' Up

along with the pearls, ribbon, paper and the sentiment.

Summer helped me pick out the paper for this card

and the sentiment. It was a great help and way 

to spend time together.

Kaitlyn helped me with some advice on 

the coloring below her eyes and the freckles.

It was a true collaboration with my girls. Thank you so much.

Please come and join us, we would love to see your creations.

Wishing you all an amazing day

and 

thank you for stopping by.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Monday morning!

Today, I am highlighting

two stamp sets from

The Project Bin

Deer Mom

and

Classic Man

DEER MOM

CLASSIC MAN

Their are a few people

in my life who have a love for hunting or just wildlife

but also adore their vintage vehicles.

Denise inspired me with both these wonderful

stamp sets.

The above card is a Twisted Gate Card.

It is my first time making one.

Honestly, it was a blast

and I had help from Dawn's Stamping Thoughts.

I used paper from Stampin' Up

Dies from Gina Marie Designs and Stampin' Up

My coloring was done using Prisma Pencils.

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

Sweet Cocoa

Happy Thursday!

Today, is another very smokey day

with all of the forest fires from B.C. and Alberta

it is effecting our air quality.

Our thoughts are with everyone that is dealing

with these horrible fires.

We are praying for gentle rain for our B.C friends.

Another week has flown by

and so that means

we have a brand new challenge up at Creative Knockouts Challenge

Challenge #259 - Sparkle N Shine

The image I used is Sweet Cocoa

Prize: $10 gift certificate for digis

The card above was colored using my Copic Markers

The dies circle dies are from Gina Marie

The word jolly, dazzling diamonds and all the paper is from Stampin' Up.

It is hard to tell because my paper in the picture is dark

There is Early Espresso, Cherry Cobbler, sparkly paper (hee hee)

It was hard to get the right colors of the papers

not sure if that had to do with all of the glitter and sparkle.

It was super fun breaking out this sparkly paper

and the dazzling diamonds that was used on the snowflakes

on the cup. I do love me some hot chocolate.

Baseball Bear

Hello, Hello and welcome to my blog!

How did we get to the first Thursday in August already?

Kind of feeling like July only took about 5 minutes.

We have had the pleasure of camping with our grandson, our son 

and his girlfriend this week. The only thing missing was our

other two kids.

Here is to hoping our camping will become a family tradition with

Emery every summer.

Today, is Thursday and you know what that means...

a brand new challenge over at Creative Knockouts
