Flying high

Can I just start by saying I am having a fabulous day? I went to get the mail this morning and...

Can you believe these fabulous goodies? My fabulous, amazingly talented, amazingly supportive friend Catherine sent me all of this swag just because. Can you believe it? My jaw dropped when I opened this awesome package. How lucky am I? Catherine if you are reading this... YOU ROCK!!!!! Many, many hugs to you. I can't even describe how excited I am to play with all of these goodies and there is even a ballerina stamp in there.

Please go check out her fun blog and say hi: http://paperaddictcatherine.blogspot.com/

Another reason that today was great is our friend flew in for a visit. What I mean by flew in:

that's right he has in own private helicopter. So cool right???? Well I was lucky enough to go for a spin with DD.

Unfortunately little one was too little to go but doesn't she look cute sitting in the seat.

We flew over the ocean over our community, it was fun.

Bye Shawn we had fun seeing you!

Wings

I just received my great kit from the Pink Ninjas and I LOVE it! It was full of wings to add to my little devils LO's. You say what? You have a little devil? I sure do. She can be called a little devil, little monster I think they are all quite fitting. See this post for proof ; )

Anyways, when Simon Says Stamp had a challenge to use things with wings I knew just what to do. Here is my LO:

There is an amazing prize up for grabs so come play along. Go here for all of the details!

A little sketchy...

Happy Wednesday everyone! Well, I have been wanting to play along with Sketchy Thursday for a long time. I have played once or twice before and I LOVE their sketches! So I have had a little extra time to play these days and got the chance to play along. This is for their guest DT spot for September. The LO I did was very clean for my but I really like it.

Now if I make the top 5 I will need you to come vote for me. The poll will take place Aug 23 to the 25 (my birthday) so if I make the top 5 you can give me a fabulous birthday by voting for my but I will keep you posted on that : )

Please go HERE to see the sketch and get all of the fab details!!!

Sharing

I just wanted to share this LO I did recently. I got my inspiration from my lovely friend Julie. She runs the fabulous challenge blog These are a few of my favorite things. I love that blog because it gives me the chance to scrap more about myself which I don't do enough if. So I did a layout about my current fav things. Julie this LO is for you!

I did it!!!

Well friends, it is about time. I finally played along with the Design Dollies. It has been way too long since I last played along so this LO is way overdue. I managed to pull of a TRIFECTA !!

So here is this weeks sketch:

and the color prompt:

and for the elements it is all about best Friends!

Here is what I came up with:

This is my best friend ever. It was only last year that we both had to move away. She is way out East and I am now on the West coast. Even though we live so far away we still get on the phone and it is like we are still in the same place. Love that girl!!!

Anyways, it is always fun to play along with the Dollies so go here for the details!!!

I also threw in this LO I did last night. I had seen somewhere stitching a word onto a LO so I gave it a try. You can't see it very well even though I had used teal thread. Even my close up doesn't show it well. Anyways the title is love this sweet baby.

Some creativity!

Well, I am back at it creating away! I have lots to share so I will just throw in a few LO's here and there to wet your whistles ; )

First up is this lo of my dad with my big girl. My dad manages a golf course and my DD loves to go and help him. She especially loves to go out on the course and golf. I used my July kit from Studio Calico.

Next up is a LO I did using some older Crate Paper. I love Crate Paper soooooo much. I am looking forward to all of their new products especially Restoration. The little tag in the top left just off the photo is from Studio Calico.

Last is a super fun LO using Echo Park. Another company I am loving. I wanted to share a link to their website but I'm not finding anything. If anyone has a web or blog address please pass it on to me.

My baby is growing up. She is talking up a storm but she really is a little monster. She climbs onto tables to scrounge for food, when she talks she turns it into a growl kind of like morrrreeeeeeeeeee. A little hard to explain in a blog ; ) Anyways as cute as she is don't be fooled. She is seriously a monster. Love that I finally made use of my Sassafras felties!

Thanks for looking and have a fabulous weekend (I know it is only Thursday but I believe in the summer everyone should have Fridays off!)

On a side note... go HERE for your chance to win a Silhouette!

Just checking in

Hi friends, where have I been you say? Well, I took a break. I had a bit of a rough week last week and I decided it was time to take a little time away from Scrapbooking and the wonderful world of blogging. I had to take the time to think about why I do this, what it means to me, does it make me happy? So after some thinking I am back and in full force. I have been working on a few things so stay tuned and I will share real soon I promise : )

I just want to give a HUGE shout out to the lovely and talented Lolly! This lady is fabulous! Not only is she so stinking creative that it makes me green with envy but she is also the sweetest thing ever. While she was at CHA (which also made me jealous) she stopped at the Upsy Daisy Booth to take pics of my creations being displayed. Just for me. So Lolly, thank you so much. You are a good as they come. XOXO
