Weekend Wrap Up

The weekend is was wonderful, but today it' back to work! Friday evening I took the boys to my nephew's tball game. Big mistake. They were awful! Saturday evening I took the boys to a friend's house. We had bonfire and the boys had blast. Last night we took them to the same friend's house to swim in their pond. They swam for 4 hours. It wasn't even that warm out and the water was freezing, but they had so much fun. During the afternoon we went o my dad's house to play with this baby racoon. She is so sweet. She is like a puppy. She follows you around wherever you go. She is about 4 weeks old. The boys fought over her the whole time about who was going to feed her the bottle.

Cameron holding her, while "momma Mikah" looks over. She takes care of her like she is her baby.

She is so little! She also needs a name.

Big Bear Hug


This one is for this week's Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge. It's been a while since I've done one of these sketches. I like how this card turned out though. My little Bear is from Bear Hugs by CC Designs at ATS. It's an older set, but I still love it. Everything else on the card is from SU!, except for the butterfly. That is a MS punch. TGIF!!

Howdy Little Partner




This card is for this week's Mojo Monday sketch. Everything I used on this card was laying on my desk from other projects. I think it's time to clean up around here! The image is from PCS (Sweet Pea). I colored the image a long time ago, and it's just been laying in the pile, so I dusted it off and went from there. The dp is from SU's Washington Apple collection. Everything else on the card is also from SU! Hope you have a great Thursday! And Happy 7th Birthday to my nephew, Ry-Ry!!

Preschool Teacher Thanks

I wanted a card that was quick and easy for Carter to help me put together to give to his preschool teachers.
Today is his last day of school. He punched everything out for me. He did a lot of the stamping too, hence the ink smudges. lol I don't think he did too bad! Happy Wenesday!

Way To Go Myles!

My nephew, Myles, graduated from preschool ths past weekend so I made this card for him. The lighting is a little off, distorting the colors a little because it's a gloomy day.I used some leftover cardstock stickers from the Primary Colors SSK. The ABC123 border was made using my new border punch by EK Success and I purchased it at Michaels. And my little graduate is from PCS, Dress Up Lily/Billy. Happy Tuesday!

Camping Pics

*Second post for today. Scroll down for earlier post*
Over the weekend we went camping with several other families. The weather was perfect and I don't think I've laughed that hard in a really long time.
Cameron chowing on some watermelon.

Austin's 10th birthday was this past Monday, so we had cake for him.

Carter not even sure if he likes watermelon.


Most of the weekend you could find Austin fishing. That is his favorite thing to do while camping.




S'Mores Kit

As you know, we went camping over the weekend. Before we left on Friday I put together this this s'mores kit to give to my s-i-l, who was also camping with us. She appriciates the effort I put into my projects so she usually ends up with them. I used Under The Stars for this project. The dp is from Moxxie. And of course, I used the Ready, Set, Wrap template from PTI.
Here is the side view with a closer look at the tag. I used liquid applique to puff up the marshmallow.

And it was a tight squeeze, but I filled the box with the fixins to make 2 s'mores. Happy Trails!!
