Summer is flying by!

I can't believe how fast the days are going by! Tomorrow morning I leave with the kids & my sister-in-law to go visit my family in Florida for almost 2 weeks. (I had hoped to have some new projects to post up while gone but well, life is always happening when I want to be scrappin!)

I am hoping to come home and get the baby's first year album done and be able to share it with you as well as my current youngest son's kindergarten album. I have found that scrapbooking is my true love and not so much cardmaking.... even though I've been trying out cards for the last few months.

As for me I am feeling better but still take it easy most days. My energy level is great in the morning but dwindles as the day goes on. I am almost 23 weeks along and will only have to go til 38! So this little one will be here in about 15 weeks! That time will fly so fast!

Hope everyone is having a great summer and that you are especially enjoying this hot hot weather God has given us (especially after all that snow!).

baby thank you

I wanted to try out some looks for the baby's announcements and thought "why not make a thank you' while trying. So this is what I came up with.




The giraffe & background stars & moons are all colored with stampin up watercolored pencils and then moistened. I think I will do something similar for the announcements. I would like to have them completely done way before the baby comes!!

Simple Summer card


This card is for a challenge over at Scrappily Ever After . The picture for challenge #2 was of flip flops so I created this simple card with scraps!! I like how clean the whole thing looks and it has my favorite color purple on it! I hope you get a chance to play along over at Melanie's blog, there are 5 days of challenges involved so nothing too crazy!

Hubby's Father's Day Card


Still playing with my Stampin Up stuff since I have so many stamp sets. The froggy is on of them. I used EK sucess heart border punch and some Primas to dress him up. Also used the bic markers I won from Samantha's giveaways to color the frog.

Wild Card #40 The Monster

Finally another wild card!! I will slowly get through them all!! This si the monster card. I did boyish colors so I could use it for a boy birthday card in the future. The 'hi' is a cheapy stamp I had around (he needed something) and I stickled his eyes!

Hope you enjoy!!
