{ Yes...I am still alive! }

Sorry everyone! We did make it back from camping...it's just been busy around here. I was working and then hubby's lastday of holidays on Sunday we took the kids to Calaway Park for the last time this season. Then yesterday I decided to go through the kids clothes to see what we need to buy for school...which starts in 1 week!! Then I decided to clean their rooms! Why? I have no idea!! 6 hours later I was done both rooms and then 2 hours after that we were done cleaning up the playroom downstairs! What a job...but it is all clean now. I decided to take everything out of their rooms and put all the toys...accept for stuffed animals and dressup clothes...down in the basement. I was getting sick and tired of having 'stuff' in everyroom of the house. Hopefully this will help to keep the mess...at least most of it...in the basement, where I only have to see it when I go down to stamp! Nothing new to show off right now, so here is an old one that I have not posted yet...

This one was for the Color Throwdown #2 and I also used Mojo Monday Sketch #47. Simple, but I think it turned out okay. Now...if I can get the camera to work I will take a pic of a newer creation and get that posted for ya tomorrow.

I will leave you with the only good shot we got on the last camping trip. Of course the only 1 nice day we had we for got the camera and the fact that the darn thing is not working!! Don't you just love cameras...when they work!! Anyway here is a pic of El trying to stay warm under the towel, while her sister is busy making a big trench in the sand. I actually spent more time in the water this day even though it was rather chilly. But I guess with the air temp being lower the water didn't feel all that bad. Okay...it was still cold, but I guess it could have been worse. ;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.

{ Shannon's Color Challenge }

I really need help on my post titles! Anyway...here is my entry for Shannon's color challenge. And look Shannon...I even added a Prima...just for you! ;0) But of course my ribbon is wonky. I am too lazy to take another pic though...so you are stuck with this one. I also thought I would give SCS Sketch Challenge 163 a try. I quite like this sketch, but then again I love square cards.

Hope you all have a great weekend. I have stamp class tonight, so I will share the projects this weekend...don't want to ruin the surprise for anyone. ;0)
