{ On our way }

Just a quick note to let you know that I am taking off this morning camping again. We are heading out to Ol' MacDonald's Farm this time. This is our first time there, but it comes highly recommended by all. We will be back Thursday evening...so everyone have a great week. I will try and post something on Friday or Saturday, as we will be leaving on Sunday for the final camping trip of the summer.

Later all...

{ Whew...finished and... I Won!! }

I finished up all 12 sketches for Julee's AVS Sketch Challenge on SCS tonight. You can check them all out here at my SCS gallery. And guess what???!!!

I WON!!!

Julee is having some random draws for each sketch and I won for sketch #3!! Woohoo!!! You have no idea how excited I am right now!! Well, I am sure you can guess. ;0)

Okay...I am off to pay some attention to my family now. ;0)

oh and incase anyone is wondering...this is the set I decided on over at Verve.

{ Check it out! }

Okay...so if you have not heard of Whiff of Joy yet...where have you been!!?? Katharina is having a hugh blog candy giveaway right now. Go check it out. These Guardian Angels are just so sweet. Go check it out!!

On a side note? I realized something lastnight. You know these great sketches that Julee has for the AVS Challenge on SCS? I will not be able to complete them for the giveaway. We are leaving on Monday for some more camping. Oh well...I still plan to do them all and with all a Christmas theme too! Guess, I will just have to buy the line like all the rest of ya. ;0) Well except for the lucky winner that is.

Oh...here is another couple BIA creations for ya. My girls asked me to make them little sticker books just like Mommy's wish book. Lovin' my BIA...it definitely gets easier with more practice. Not that it is hard...just trying to decide on coil size is the tricky part.

Later...

{ AVS02 & AVS03 }

Okay...quick post...gotta get outside with the girls and read more of my book. It is soooooo good!!

Here is my entry for AVS02. I am really liking this one and my ribbon seems to be behaving for me, so that always helps. And I even used some buttons!! I just love Julee's sketches...don't you?





This is my take on AVS03. You might need your sunglasses for this one! I know a little bright. But I had this image with the stack of colored ones and thought I should use it up. Even though it is a bright one...I like it. And as you have guessed by now? All 12 of these sketches I am gonna do Christmas cards. I need to get going on them and thought this was a good opportunity to do it. So while the rest of you are making beautiful flowery and butterfly cards...I am shivering in the cold! ;0)

Okay...back to the book...later...

{ Anni-verve-sary Sketch Challenge 1 }

Okay, so if you have not already heard...go on over to SCS and check out Julee's Anni-verve-sary Sketch Challenge. It is 12 days of Sketch Challenges. If you complete all 12 and upload onto the correct daily sketch, you will be in the running to win the entire new August release!! I just found out about it yesterday, so I have a few to catch up on as today is day 4. GO! NOW!!

So here is my take on AVS01...I decided...since I have a ton of colored images, I really should start using them. And since I really need to get some Christmas cards started...well you get the picture. ;0) I have another 6 or seven of these Snowbunny Bellas colored in all different colors. I should do a group of these ones. Although some are not 'typical' Christmas colors, but they will still be pretty cards.

Okay, I am off to beat my children...just kidding...but I better find something to do before they either kill eachother or I do it for them!! I am really hoping today is a better day outside for some pool/sprinkler fun!! And I want to sit outside and read my new book! I picked up Breaking Dawn yesterday at Costco. I read the first 2 chapters quickly last night...oh my oh my!! ;0)

Later!

{ one more for today...}

I almost forgot to post my creation for Jen's LCSC #2. It's not the greatest...once again, me fighting to make ribbon work!! Uggg. Oh well...one more Christmas card for the stash anyway. ;0)

{ It's the little things }

Happy Sunday All! Well, it is a gloomy Sunday here. Don't know about the rest of you, but...What happened to summer!!?? It really has not been a great summer weather wise here in Calgary. I am sure hoping that it is nice next week when we head off camping again.

Onto the creation for today.

This one I used Julee's Mojo Monday Sketch #44. I really like this sketch...definitely will use this one again! This one is a real girly card. I used an Elyzbell image sent to me by my friend Dottie. I added lots of irridecent ice, a TAC sentiment and used my new Swiss Dot cuttlebug folder. I was not too sure about the plain pink layer so added the glitter and like it a bit more. Over all I think it turned out pretty cute.

Thanks for stoppin' by.

p.s I forgot to mention that this is also my take on the Color Throwdown Challenge 1.
