{ High Hopes Polkadot Challenge }

That about says it all...
























I decided to play with this weeks High Hopes Challenge. Sorry for the blurry pic...but I am just too lazy to go down and take another one! ;0) Well, this one definitely has lots of Polka Dots. I would have never thought of a boy card with a Polka Dot theme, but I happened to have this image already colored and decided to use him. I used Swiss Dots, Tiny Bubbles and Spots and Dots embossing folders with this one. Very simple, but a great boy card if I ever need one!

Okay, I am off to sell my kids to the Circus!! Just kidding...is it really only the second week of Summer Holidays?? ;0)

Thanks for stoppin' by...

{ Two in one Day?! }

I know, I know...what's wrong with me?! Well...since I did 3 cards yesterday all for challenges...I thought I might as well get one posted. This was for FFF Sketch#1 over at the Greeting Farm. I am not 100% sure of my flower placement...but over all I think I like the way this one turned out.

























Okay...back tomorrow with another Challenge card!

{ RAK catchups! }

Now that I have my camera working again, it's time to get caught up on the RAK's I have received.

First off is a lovely card I received from Saskia for the One Card Swap over at Teri's blog. This one was very different from anything I had ever seen before. Thanks again Saskia!

Next was this RAK from Mary for the Aloha RAK. See the little magnet on the right? Very pretty...thanks again Mary!

Next is my June OCS from Joni. Joni saw on my blog that I was a Disney fan and made me not only this card but this cute post-it note holder with mini pen inside! I love it, thanks Joni!

Next was this 'Get Well' RAK I received from my friend Dianne. See that? She even included a gift card for Bath and Body works!! Yippee!!! Our first store opened up here in Calgary yesterday! I am holding off until the new one closest to me opens up in August, but we will see if I can hold off that long! Thanks, Dianne. :0)

And lastly is my candy winning from Nancy. I have yet to open these yet...but soon!! Thanks, Nancy.

Well...I think that was it...hopefully I didn't miss any! Thanks again ladies. :0)

{ Having Fun? }

Wish I was today. Having some tummy issues this morning...hopefully they will pass soon.

It is a mix of cloud/sun/rain today so far. The beginning of the week is looking kinda iffy too...like a high of 10C on Wednesday!! What the... Oh well...I have to work on Wednesday anyway. ;0)

Remember my post a few weeks ago about my new digi find...PC Crafters? Well here is a creation using the Penguins in Paradise set I bought. I actually made another card first but did not get a pic of it due to my camera issues off and on lately. I love the look on this little guys face! Almost a look of terror...almost. Too cute!

Well, I am off to spend the day in my stamp room. I think I might work on a few challenges today. Hope you enjoy your day and thanks for stoppin' by...

{ Check these out! }

Okay so I am a little late to the party... ;0)... but still...you have to check out these amazingly cute adorable stamps! I am soooo in love...too bad I am on a spend break for the summer! Oh well...might just have to convince some of my stampin' partners in crime, to buy some so I can steal some images! ;0)

Be sure to stop by the store and check out all these oh so cute stamps!

{ More awesome Christmas cards and a winner! }

But first a few pics to share with you all. Another camping trip over...WAY too short!! And of course I had to take more pics...Hubby bought me some new batteries and the camera now works again, who knew that rechargables only last so long!! :0) But yes, I had to take more pics. I tried not to take too many, as I have TONS of Mt. Kidd already. But how can you not...

And of course my two lovely ladies. ;0)

Okay...onto the Christmas Card Challenge entries and winner of a little RAK from me!

Nancy

And these last three are from our ladies with no blog. First is Carol J

Next is from a new player this month...Bonnie S...I will do another post and show you all of Bonnie's...she played catch up and did all 6 challenges in one week...actually I think it was in like one or two days!!

And lastly is Karen G...another new player this month...and another one who played catch up with all the challenges!

I had my oldest pull a name...since her sister was past out on the couch snoring from the LONG walk to the park and back...heehee...and the winner is?

BONNIE!!

Woohoo Bonnie. Bonnie send me a quick email with your addy or maybe let me know if you will be home next week and I could even drop it off for ya. Thanks again to everyone for playing along. And here is my samples...finally. I actually did get them finished off last week...just been having camera issues, so did not get the pics posted. I decided to go with a Gate Fold. Can you believe I have actually never done one before?!! Well I love these. Although, I still need to go and find either some magnets or velcro closures for them to finish them off.

Thanks for stoppin' by today

{ TCC #6 }

**NOTE: This post will remain sticky until June 30. Please scroll down for new posts**

Okay so it's that time again...already! I was thinking of canceling this month, but then decided not to. With everything that has been going on in our house hold over the past few weeks...well, once again I have no sample and to be honest it might not be until the end of the month. But here we go with the challenge...

This month's Christmas Card Challenge will be...

* you must complete 5 cards
* All cards must use the same main image but can be different in color and layout
* you must use some type of different fold...meaning you have to do something other than a normal 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 or square card. You can check out Splitcoast for some great ideas. I myself am thinking of trying out the Tri Shutter Card.

All entries must be received by 11:59pm MST June 30th. You must leave a comment with a link to your cards or email me a photo of your entries. And once again I will draw a random winner from all entries to receive a small RAK from me.

Good luck and have fun!
