Lazy Summer Day Stamping

August has been DELIGHFUL for us here at the Weckesser Homestead!

We have spent some time camping, relaxing, and just playing in the garden. It has been fun after a super busy year just to take a little time and play together as a family.

That doesn't mean that I haven't had my {CRAFTING} moments! While I was enjoying some quiet moments in Waterton, Alberta, I created a card using some chalkboard paper from Canvas Corp. I used some of Heidi Swapp's COLOR SHINE. Love it! It is a new product and the color is FAB!

Then I used one of my new co-branded Unity Stamps ~ Sail Away . I used some UTEE on the image.

  I used Clearsnap'S  wonderful smooch to color in the image. I love how the {COLOR} pops!

Bubble Wrap makes wonderful texture dots!

Scrapbooking with American Crafts

  

  


Recently I had some fun scrapbooking with some fun products from American Crafts. I am loving the colors that are out this season. Papers and embellishments are bursting with wonderful hues! It really make makes it  a joy to play with all these neat supplies! I had fun using American Crafts  foamy letters - THICKERS. I also used my circle punch to make some fun embellishments. AC paper really is fun, so I cut out a heart and used a little bit of paper glass finish from Folk Art to give it a dimensional finish. Oh...and don't forget hand journaling! I love to finish off a layout with a little bit of hand journaling! The great thing about about this seasons colors too is that they are so lovely that they really can be used for other seasons too!
                    Keep on Scrappin'

Photographing Summer Dellights

       Jessica's Day Dream copyrighted© by Susan K.Weckesser

We took a wonderful walk in a gorgeous coulée that is not to far from our new house and I was so intrigued by all the wonderful photo ops  that were all around me. I felt like I was a kid in a candy store. Because I was dealing with different heights and textures I had to make sure that I positioned my self at different levels so that I could capture the atmosphere that I wanted in each picture. I love how I feel like I am right there in the photo with Jessica! You can feel the clouds right over your head.
 Have fun with the pictures that you take this summer. There are so many rich and vibrant colors around you. Try to look at things in different ways and see what you can come up with! Have fun with with the beauty of the world around you!

Spring Planting

The days are getting longer, the air is getting warmer and I can hear children playing outside, as birds playfully fly around. I am so excited because I know that all these things point to one exciting event...Spring time! Oh what a fantastic time of year when the earth 'springs' alive again and I get to play in the dirt again! Not to mention...I get to take out my camera and take pictures of all these lovely colorful works of art. What a wonderful invention that MACRO setting, oh, and not to mention the TRIPOD. When I'm up close and personal with a lovely Black Eyed Susan my TRIPOD is so handy!

* Have you checked out Susiebee Studios to see the GREEN announcement!

Have a wonderfully colourful day!
