Hopscotch

Good morning friends!  I know...how crazy is it that I'm posting again today?  I just want to show you a fun project I made with MyMemories Suite and a new kit from A-Manda Creation called Outdoor Artist. 

I went to the dollar store to find a package of sidewalk chalk but what I found was this super fun hopscotch kit.  It includes chalk, bean bag place markers, and directions.  On the header I used the hopscotch image from A-Manda Creation and made a little scene and I added a little rhyme that I remember using as a kid when I played hopscotch, Teddy Bear Teddy Bear.  Does anyone else remember that?

Anyway, it was super fun to make and I'm looking forward to giving this away.  I just want you to remember that while yesterday was a fun day with a day off, BBQ's and friends today someone will learn that there loved one was killed in action.  Always keep our military members in your thoughts and prayers...there is way more going on in Afghanistan than the government and t.v. lets on. 

Have a great Tuesday!

Some Gave All

Neckties

Good morning!  Maybe you've noticed.  My news has been sitting on my blog for a couple of days now but if you read my blog in a reader you never would have seen it.  I have been selected to join the Designed2Delight design team!  When I applied I thought it would be a long shot to get on the team because I just haven't been that active of a card maker/blogger recently but Faith chose me as one of the eight new design team members and I couldn't be more thrilled!

So, today is my first card as a design team member.  I bought this image, Necktie Banner, when it came out on the 20th of this month.  It is only $1 and super perfect for any of the men in your life.  For only $1 I think it should be in everyone's stash!  The 'I love you more every day' sentiment is a separate stamp and the paper is from PTI.  this card also uses this week's sketch by CPS. 

I hope you are all ready to see more from Designed2Delight!  I also hope you will visit my design team sisters blogs...they are all listed on the right side for ya.

Now, have a wonderful weekend and I'll see you on Monday with a fun little project I made yesterday.

Have a beautiful day!

Hello there friends! I know...it has been forever since I posted and I really do apologize!  Today is the beginning of a new sketch at Sketches by Carly and I like to play along if I can so that is why I'm here today!  I do want you to stop by tomorrow, though--I have an exciting announcement for you that will bring me (and hopefully you) to my blog much more often! 

I decided to combine both of my design teams today.  A-Manda Creation has a super cute new kit out called Outdoor Artist.  It is SO perfect for those photos of your kiddos play with chalk on the sidewalk.  In fact, I'll have a fun project for you to see with that specifically in mind next week!  Anyway, I thought the kit was cute enough to make a card with so I designed this card with the SBC sketch in mind. 

On the inside I used some basic grey and white cardstock with one of the adorable butterflies from the kit to make the inside just as much fun as the outside.  I can't wait to send this off to someone!

So, that is it from me today but I'll be back tomorrow with fun news!  Have an amazing Friday!

Look at that bling!

Good morning!What a week it has been!  I've been ill this week with allergies/cold that I woke up with on Sunday...yep, on Mother's Day.  My boys have taken really good care of me, though, so I'm feeling much better today!  Yesterday was track and field day at Kyler's school so I was outside all day for that and unfortunately it was super windy...no fun at all! Okay, no fun for me the kids still had a great time!

This is the second week of the Sketches by Carly Challenge.  Make sure you check it out HERE.  There are two version to this sketch...basic, like mine, or more stepped up.  You chose which you'd like to use!  Fun, huh?  This card is for my soon to be daughter-in-law's shower on Saturday.  Her colors are purple and gold.  I think she will like it!

Well, busy day ahead and weekend, too so I best get it started!  Have a wonderful Friday!
