Hubby and I are about to head out to go do a little hiking for the next

few days! Are plans for the weekend changed like 50 times over the last few

days because of potential rain and storms. We had originally planned

to camp but figured with potential storms that wasn't the best idea, so we found

somewhere that still had rooms available at a state park so we settled on that.

following the current sketch from Mojo Monday. I am also entering this card

into the current Verve Inspiration Challenge.

Good morning crafty friends! I have some exciting news!! I have been asked to be on the

Design Team over at As You See It!! AYSI is a super fun weekly challenge blog that posts

a new challenge (usually a sketch) every Friday with projects being due by Wednesday

evening! I am so happy to be playing along with this new challenge!It definitely made

me have to think outside the box, but I love to be challenged once in a while! 

For the new challenge, you must use all of these items on your project, but for

instance, like me, I din't have anything "pool party" so I just used a similar color.

For my card I cut out circles for my negative space out of my patterned Ombre paper,

then having that negative space filled with paper close to the Pool Party color, and

putting a little slate ribbon with a knot and finishing up with a sentiment and other details:

Viva la Verve September week 2

Good afternoon crafty friends and happy Lord's Day! I hope y'all have been having

a great weekend! We sure have! Friday night out with about 15 couples from

our Sunday School class and Saturday morning at the food bank. Good times!!

Before we head out to evening service I wanted to share a card I made this afternoon

for my uncle's wedding. He is my dad's half bother and only 2 years younger

than me... Sounds strange, I know. My grandma skipped out after my dad graduated

highschool and eventually my Gramps found a new lady a little younger than

him who had never had kids yet so they had a few. I think of them more like cousins

then uncle's and an aunt. Anyways, they are awesome people. The wedding

is in Utah this coming weekend, I can't go, but my parents and sisters are going so

I thought I'd make a card that I think matches my soon to be aunt's country personality

to send with a gift card along with my parents. I followed the September week 2

sketch from Viva la Verve and am also entering this card into the current 

Verve Inspiration Challenge and the current challenge at Wordart Wednesday.

Enabler's List:

Paper: Paper Studio - wood grain and kraft cs

Stamps: CTMH - Wedding Day

Mojo Monday #413

Good afternoon crafty friends! I hope y'all are having a great weekend! I hung 

out with a friend last night who was bored since her husband was out of

town and had no one to watch her kiddos so I went over to her house to hangout!

We had a great time chit chatting and watched a movie. I stayed out until after midnight

which for me never happens lol! I'm getting too old to stay up late. This morning I slept in 

and then did some crafting! Later this evening we are going out to dinner with some 

friends and then my hubby is taking me to go see his new office space that I can't 

wait to decorate if he lets me! Right now he has a folding table and chair in 

there which obviously won't do. He needs an nice, professional place to work outside the

house where he can have clients meet him instead of him always having to go to them

since he doesn't want to bring them home to his office. I've been on Craigslist looking

at some nice desks and credenza's which I think would work for him. 

Anyways, before I get to a little cleaning I want to share one of the cards I made this 

morning following the current sketch from Mojo Monday.

Enabler's List:

Paper: Doodlebug - Ghouls and Goodies
