Hello Sunshine, Happy 4th USA!

It was so good to wake up and not have to get dressed for work today! I'm looking forward to today, a BBQ and the beach, pool or water park, not sure which, then of course end the evening with fireworks!

I have a little Tiddly Inks to share. Once again I have been slow and posting because she's been done for months. I love her little bathing suit! It reminded me of my girls when they were smaller and wore ruffles. I could probably get my youngest to wear again but not the oldest. She's growing up to fast for me!

Happy Birthday USA! We will be celebrating on your behalf. Hope everyone has a great day where ever you are! Thank you to our men and women in the Armed Forces that give us this day to celebrate with thier heroic duties everyday!

Challenges:

Crafts and Me: Anything goes

Creative Moments: Flowers

Inky Chics: Anything Goes

YNS Summer Fun After Party!

 I hope you joined us for our June release blog hop! If not you still have time! Here's a couple of teasers to get you going. Above is Austin, I get a kick out of the fish jumping out of his bucket. He's a real cutie if your adding to your summer stamps.

For me he's year round, one of the perks of living in a hot climate.  New this month too are some fantastic Summer Dies. They are a must have. Both are available now at the YNS Store.

 

Summer officially began a couple of days ago, and it certainly rolled in super hot! Perfect beach weather!

 

 

Don't forget the great discounts Karen is offering, it ends today so head on over! Take a hop below for some more inspiration and teasers!

Totally Tubular Fun!

 

Hope you all are having a great Sunday! I just found a c on FB contest for Kraftin Kimmies Challenges to be a Guest Designer with thier talented team and today is the last day! Well I had to give it a try and this little guy was sitting on my craft table just needing a layout. I recently added a handful of Kimmies to my collection and can't wait to sit and play! He was first!

 

So fingers crossed! I'm off to relax some more before I put some steaks on the grill. Ahhhh I love Summer!!!!

Magnolia and Me Under the Sea

Just a quick little post. I have all these cards that I made earlier this year that I just haven't shared so I better get to it.  Some of you have already seen this one on Facebook yesterday. I was overwhelmed with all likes and sweet comments. Thank you!

I have been playing with lots of stamps from different companies and love them all, but Magnolias will always have a special place in my heart. They were the first stamps that I played with when I first started blogging and learning copics. I can probably color them with my eyes closed now! LOL!

Hair: E49, E47, E44, E40

Skin: E11, E00, E000, R20

Dress: B06, B04, B02, E55, E53, E51

GDT at Little Miss Muffet

 Hello friends, it's been a few days since I've been around. Summer is here and I'm enjoying my free time with my girls. This year I'm doing Summer break a little different. No camp...sort of. It's Mommy Summer Camp and so far the girls are getting a kick out the whole thing  and I have to admit I'm having fun too. At night I put a schedule of events up for the next day. The kicker is how I describe the event, for example, later  today it's "Splish Splash" They are dying to know what that means....want to guess too?? I'll let you know on my next post since I have BIG EYES over my shoulder at the moment!

Even with my summer camp fun going, I was still honored to asked to join for a Guest spot at Little Miss Muffet Challenges. The theme for today's challenge is Families and the twist is to merge two images together. I gotta admit that I was challenged by this. I use Gimp and I had to seek a help on how to do it. But I think I did pretty good with Leilani and Katie. There are two new digi's over at Little Miss Muffet. I thought they would make cute sisters. What do you think?

Stop by and see what the rest of the amazingly talented team has to inspire you and join the challenge! I can't wait to see what you come up with.

Last chance for Tasty at YNS

It's Tuesday! Technically Monday for most of the US since many got to enjoy the three day weekend. I had a great weekend. I got so much Spring cleaning done and still got to enjoy pool time and bbq's.  I'm looking forward to having my week confused by the extra day off and a short week.

Today is the last chance to join this month's Tasty Tuesday over at the  YNS blog. Here is my take on the inspiration picture. I used Birds on Wire from this month's new release. I also used Clouds die and the Skinny Alpha Font. Love that font set! Love all the clear new sets!

Don't forget to stop by the YNS blog and see what the rest of the DT team has to inspire! Join us too and join the chance to win some goodies.

YNS May After Release Party!

Yeah it's Friday!! and it's a three day weekend!! Whoot Whoot!! Today I'm sharing the another great image from YNS in our After Release Party!

This is Zach. He is quite a golfer. I was never much for golf until I moved to Florida. Now I surprise myself when I know the players and actually watch it on TV!! But I have to know...why is thier clothing so odd. Plaid pants and white shoes, matching pastel shirts!

Zach isn't wearing any pants but I certainly thought he should wear plaid so I paper pieced his belly. My Dad has become a golf fan too. So this will be a perfect Father's day card this year. I'm sure it will make him smile.

Make sure you return to the YNS blog, there you will find links to the rest of the DT and all the great After Release Party inspiration!

Have a great weekend!

Summer Fun around the Corner!

 It's only a matter of weeks before all the munchkins are out and the beach and pool become a major staple in this house. I definitely have two fishes and I can't blame them, it gets hot way before the hot "months" like August come around. I love it and so do they.

This image is me, Snorkel Fun Penguin, LOL!!! I don't need the tubbie except for some serious lounging around after a long week at work. I'm ready for the water and some serious summer fun!

That's our theme over at YNS Fun Friday! We are celebrating SUMMER!!! Come join us this Friday with your Summer fun! Last week we introduced some great clear stamp sentiments and I have included another one in my card today. I love the new Cute Critter Circles. You really need to check these out!

Karen has been on a roll with some amazing new stamps! And this month is no exception! Don't forget to come back on May 22nd. We always have fun on our blog hops and prizes too!!

Don't forget to visit our YNS Blog for more Summer Fun! Happy Friday!
