A Sweet Baby Mouse


Yesterday, I got to spend some lovely quality time with my oldest daughter, Crystal. She needed a baby shower card for a boy with chevrons on it (I got my chevrons from Can You Digi It? and they are part of a beatiful set by Michelle).

I love the Featured Stamper challenge at SCS so we picked this lovely card by Jackie to case.

She also wanted to enter a few more challenges (she thinks they really fun), so I checked out Pile-it-on which always has a cool theme and links to other great themes. This week, the Pile-it-on theme is felt or fabric so we added some burlap just like Jackie did on her card. We used my old reliable House Mouse baby with pacifer image so we are entering this in the House Mouse challenge which is Autumn (we figured the woodsy background would help us qualify there). Finally, we found a cute challenge called Just Keep Creating that has an Anything Goes Theme and we love the name!

It was so nice to have this quality time with Crystal - it seems that once they grow up, you cherish every minute with them even more.

Hugz and hope you have a wonderful day!

    Cute baby boy card, Nancy. That is the sweetest image. I like your background, too.
    It is always a special time when you get to have your children around and great to be able to craft with your daughter.

Some Penguins

Today kicks off the newest Pattie's Creations Challenge which is Tags . Just Tags. No cards with Tags on or in them - just tags. I love to make just tags so this one was right up my alley. I used the super cute Penguin image from Pattie's Creations, but I couldn't stop at just one so I made a little penguin family. My tag is made from an old cardboard box top which I peeled down, painted, distressed a bit, and then added some snow medium. My bow is actually a new bow designed by Pamela Lehto (available at Squigglefly tomorrow). Please join us in the Pattie's Creations Tag Challenge - there are lovely DT tags for inspiration and Pattie gives away wonderful prizes! Hugz!

Language Plays, Billiard Balls, and Some "Interesting" Wine

 I always look forward to the new **Art*Journal*Journey* Theme each month. The May theme was chosen by Elle and she chose Language as the theme. So many cool things you can do with that theme.  This weekend I chose to do the Language(s) of God in my Journaling Bible.  When I started, I was going to do Fasting as a way of speaking to God but after listening to a Sermon on Fasting, I realized that was more complicated and I would have to study it more first. So I switched gears midstream and just did some of ways that God speaks to us and vice versa.  There are many more, but I put the ones I could think of quickly here.   The papers are from an old hymnal and Close to My Heart (CTMH).  The gnome is CTMH as well.  Now I have played with all the gnomes in the set,and I totally love them. While looking for the hymnal paper, I ran across an old song book that I was saving.  It was damaged so I knew it would have to be recycled into something....

A Covered Bridge, a Shotgun Wedding, Patton Wisdom, and Some Art

 On our recent vaction, hubby and I got back to our historical marker seeking.  This time we visited the Clarkson Covered Bridge. It is super long and very cool.  We also found a website HERE that has a mapped out tour of Alabama where you can visit 7 in one day - a fun trip for a Fall weekend.  This is the only picture I took of the bridge. The day before, we visited the Patton Musuem at Ft. Knox, Kentucky and viewed Ft. Knox from as close as they will let you get. They say there is still a ton of gold in Ft. Knox - trillions of dollars worth.  We liked the Patton Museum.  I don't agree with most of Patton's management style, but do respect that he accomplished much.  I was impressed with some of his leadership statements like this one which I totally agree with: They have some fabulous items at the museum - hubby could have looked for hours and hours if I had let him. They have planes, tanks, and other vehicles there too so you can see exactly what ...
