WCMD

I hope everyone enjoyed WCMD, what fun! There were so many challenges, and I love that some have extended them thru the upcoming week. I am entering this into the EHWCMD2 at the Classroom for the holiday challenge and also for the Penny Black Guest Challenge. I stamped the PB image in memento and colored with copics, then I distressed with ink to create a vintage look. The background is Hero arts wooden design block, stamped and distressed as well. The embossed background is from PTI, and I believe the sentiment is as well. Thanks for stopping by have a wonderful Sunday, it's cool here, so I am off to make a pot of chili!

This weeks Play Date Cafe challenge is black and white with a splash of green. I love colorsplash challenges and green is one of my favorite colors. I chose the Tea set and additons from PTI and stamped with memento ink and colored the leaves with a copic YG93. I am going to have to order reinkers of my favorite copic colors this week as I have quite a few that are dry. I have heard the price will increase on these in August, so now seems like a good time!

I hope everyone is enjoying Memorial Day,  I wanted to Thank all of those who have or are serving in our military. One day to honor them is not enough!

We have actually had my DH home most of the weekend, which has been so nice since he has been crazy busy the last month or so! He and Owen went fishing, golfing and yesterday we took the kids to the pool at the Golf course. Owen was in the pool the entire time of course!  Wyatt sat on the edge and played catch with my DH, only getting dipped once and deciding it was too cold for him. Lainey and I spent the day in the shade, the water was a little too cold for her too! She is in the stage of only wanting me,  and DH does not like to hear her cry, so I spent the day holding her. Can't say that I mind it though, both the boys were like this with me, and now they are all about DH. I will enjoy it while it last! This is a picture of her crashed out!

Nothing beats relaxing by the pool!

This is my entry for the Play Date Cafe color challenge.  I stamped the Hero Arts image with memento and colored with BB pens from Faber-Castell. The sentiment and background are from PTI and the background on the green is a Hero Arts background stamp. Woke up this a.m. to thunder and some rain, I love it. We need it, especially for my vegetable gardens. Until I get my DH to set up my watering system I spend a good bit of Lainey's nap time lugging watering cans to the back field. So far so good, but mother nature does a much better job!

This is my card for the PDCC challenge, the label is from PTI, the bird stamp is from Memory box and the background is a hero arts stamp. Edited: I just realized I forgot to use white, will have to see if I have time to make another entry! That is what happens when I forget to write the challenges down!

Well, Easter is right around the corner, I actually had a chance to run errands Sunday without kids in tow. While it was nice, I was able to run in and out of the stores quickly. Although I was in too much of a hurry to really enjoy it! DH did awesome watching the crew, Lainey even took 1.5 hour nap for him! Here are some quick pictures of my little bunny girl! TFL!

This is my card for the Play Date challenge. I love the colors they have for this challenge and already have a few other cards in the works for this. I stamped the Hero Arts Thank you definition in grey, Then I stamped the dragonfly from Lockhart stamps in black and colored with copics BV02, & 04. The flowers are from a clear set from Hero arts are colored with B002 and B04. The image was cut with a spellbinders die and the blue panel was embossed with a PTI die. TFL! 

It has been beautiful here, we have a friend coming from MD to visit and I should be cleaning my house! I just want to play outside and stamp! Owen's last day of school is Friday, then he has a week off for Spring Break. He is looking forward to lots of fishing and golfing with his Daddy! Wyatt spent his first day golfing with the boys last week and did really well. After the initial meltdown, he figured out what was going on and now says he needs clubs to go golfing too! His favorite thing about it was the "candle" he got to play with.... the golf tee! Lainey is now on the move, well sort of, she has perfected rolling over. So much so that now when you put her down on the floor she rolls away! I am so not ready for this! 

PTI- Make it monday

 

PTI is starting a weekly challenged based on a new video each Monday. I love PTI, so this will help me get motivated to use my ever growing stash!  Every month I am so inspired by all of the projects they come up with. I really enjoyed this one, all of the different sentiments create a very neat card. I will be sure to use this idea again in my designs!

missing you snail

This card uses a new set from PTI: Flutterby Friends, I love the little snail. I die cut the shape and then stamped everything in black. Then I colored with copics and added my own ground to give the snail something to crawl on. Then I mounted the image on green cardstock. The background is embossed and then everything was attached. Just a simple card to send to someone you are thinking of.

Well the holiday weekend is officially gone, but now we at least have a short week! We got a few things done, but mostly just relaxed and played with the boys. DH smoked a pig butt, to make some carolina bbq.   He bought his smoker when I first found out I was pregnant and food smells made me feel terrible. He smoked everything, and it has taken awhile for me to finally be able to eat it again.  It was so good ! Have a great tuesday!
