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

Challenge #569 - 2 or more Pattern Papers

Our challenges last for 2 weeks.

Prize: 2 images

The image that they let me show case today is called

Dream Catcher

Our daughter turned 24 on Tuesday.

When she moved to the country one of the first

things she did was by herself a hammock.

She loves to read and study in it and of course nap.

This was honestly, the perfect image for her.

I colored this cute image up using my Copic Markers.

 The paper and punches are from Stampin' Up

Spellbinder was used to cut out the Happy Birthday

Please come and join us this week over at Creative Knockouts.

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:

FarmQuest General Store Challenge: #38 - Theme - Anything Farm and/or Country Goes

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.

Creative Knockouts Challenge

is up and ready for you to come and play.

We are on Challenge #567 - Spring Is In The Air

Our wonderful sponsor for this challenge is

The prize is 3 Images.

The image, that is being highlighted on 

my card is called Heart n Rose
It is a beautiful image,

that is so versatile for many different types of cards.

The image has been colored using Copic Markers.

The stitched die is from My Favorite Things

The flag die is from Spellbinders.

The punch, embossing folder, pattern paper, ink and are from Stampin' Up

This card is a special birthday card. Our son Robin's birthday is at the

end of March and has always been the first birthday celebrated

right after Spring solitice. 

We will celebrate him on the 29th of March the day he was born. 

Robin brought

so much light/love into this world and into our hearts.

We are forever impacted by the greatness of his love, kindness and generous spirit.

He loved beautiful flowers.

His favorite are peonies and then roses with carnations.

Thank you so much for letting me use

Ducky Martini

Isn't it a cute image. Ducky Martini was colored using Copic Markers.

I pulled out some old Stampin' Up pattern paper and card stock. 

Into my punch drawer to help me finish up the inside of the card.

Next was leaving some white space for someone to write on.

On the front of the card, a Stampin' Up punch was used

and the sentiment is one I did on the computer.

We would love for you to come and play along.
