Tea for three!

Hi Everyone!


Hope you all had a nice weekend! We were in San Diego visiting with family! We have a cousin who is playing on a Hockey team in Texas and had a tournament in San Diego this weekend so our whole family went to show our support! I have to say the team is AWESOME! They swept the entire tournament. Go Rhino's 


My little group of friends always celebrate our birthdays with a lunch or dinner, it's just so nice to get together and eat and laugh.  I have a friend who's birthday is December 22nd and it's just so hard to get together around this time so we either do it early or late :( So last night I got this great idea with the help of the Simply Sunday  Challenge over at Getting Cricky. A tea party! I will just be three of us, the other two will be out of town :( So I came up with this shaped teapot card. I didn't want it to be too Christmas themed but still wanted it to be festive. I used some doodlebug paper that I won a while back from Paula at More than Favors, it's so pretty! 


I am entering this in the Simply Sunday Challenge - It's tea time and the Wacky Wednesday Challenge - Buttons, Bling or Brads

Summer Days

Hi Everyone!

Wow, what a week!  We have been so busy, summer is definitely here. Our holiday was a blast, every 4th of July we spend the day at the beach. We live close so we run home after a VERY sandy day and clean up and come back down for the fireworks show.  One of our favorite parts of the day is sunset when all of the sailboats are sailing and the sun begins to disappear it's just too beautiful for words! Well I guess I had that image on my brain when I came up with this card.... Although, Not even close to our beautiful scene on the 4th. Hope you enjoy!

Wishing You The Best Birthday Ever

Hi Everyone!

Here is my entry for a few challenges. I've used Gyspy Wanderings for the dragonfly and background shape.  I also used my computer for the sentiment and George cartridge for the sentiment background. Last but not least, I added stitching with my white gel pen. The paper is from KI memories and the fibers are from my stash.
