Happy Birthday Angy

August Challenge

Well, here I am a couple days late and probably several dollars short. I know we've all had a busy summer and ours has just flown. It's been full of grandchildren and activities (are you sure we only have three?). Don't misunderstand, I love them dearly and treasure every minute we have with them. But it's a job in and of itself. And I haven't touched a stamp since mid-June! Enough about me.

I don't know what it's like where you live, but we've been roasting here with record breaking temperatures. I know the Midwest has been sweltering and Texas is suffering from a horrible drought. So I thought it would be fun to "Chill Out"! Make a project that speaks of cool to you. Take it literally or figuratively. Want to start on holiday projects? Here's your chance. Or maybe you're dreaming of cool ocean breezes with icy cocktails with umbrellas. Whatever your thoughts, let's all "Chill Out"! Hope that sounds cool. Add your link below. I wanted to have a sample ready but that doesn't seem probable until next week. I'll be back to add that.

July Challenge ...

Okey Dokey Peeps! I'm all ready here ... :0)

I wanted to share a new place that came across my radar screen lately - everyone out there already know about Cath Kidston? I recently had the fun of going into a store and really didn't want to leave!

How much fun are fabrics like these? Or how about this batch? Who wouldn't like to add a couple of mugs like these to the kitchen? And I was pretty sure that I *needed* a new bag urgently!

Unfortunately they haven't employed me as their new marketing manager (in case you're wondering), but I came away with a heaping dose of patterns and colours in my head!

So the challenge!

Is to take some inspiration from any picture or combination of pictures from the site ... but if you use co-ordinating scraps (those lonely little bits) of patterned paper from your stash and incorporate a flower - you get extra points in my book!



What do you think? Ready to play?

I hope you're a tad inspired and I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with!!





Have a good one :0)!

Happy Birthday Aimes!

Happy Birthday Rhonda!

June Challenge-Let's Hear It for the Men

Hey Peeps! Since June is month where many countries have a holiday to celebrate fathers, this month's challenge is  to create a masculine card for those special men in our lives. I made this card for my special man--my husband; although not officially a father, he is a good daddy to our fur babies, a wonderful son, and I blessed that he is my husband.

I can't wait to see what everyone creates.

Happy Birthday Cammie!
