I used a free digital image from The Digi Shack, I got the images a while back & I colored them in right away & than they sat in my copic coloring binder for a while than I bought some very cool ice cream cone & sundae paper from Imaginisce called “Summer Cool” back in May, I immediately fell in love with it & knew what I wanted to pair it with, it even has some embossed images on it.

I used some crystal effects on the cherry & the “strawberry ice cream”, a little hard to see & than I popped the image on another colored image & than popped that image up to.

Here is my card:

Here is the link to the contest, you still have most of the day to enter!

Happy Sunday!

At first when I started reading this book I wasn’t sure if I like Morgan’s point of view because I was so use to Lilly’s but, she kinda grew on me, as I got further in the book I started enjoying it more.

I just got around to finishing mine, not bad actually!

If you look at the right hand side of the page where the butterflies are there is hidden journalling behind the anchor brad (I had to “alter” mine a tad because for the life of me I couldn’t figure out the instructions!).

This pic my friend Brenda-Lee took at the retreat, I kinda look like a “tool”, like I’m in deep thought or something…ya right! but, I just want to try & remind myself that the happiness I portray on the outside is what I want to feel on the inside on a daily basis.

I mean you want me to scratch up my pictures??? Ruin them??? My OCD was kicking in overtime!

I took the the original pic a while back & have always loved this pic of my hubby & our wedding rings together but, I ruined the first pic I took with some kind of paint & I couldn’t find another copy so I had to take another pic, the first pic was much better than this one…oh well!

Here is my layout for this week’s challenge:

I just love all the yummy shimmer. I used a sketch from 52 sketches.

The verse says: Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. 1 Corinthians 13:7-8

Here are some of my fav pics of the day:

Kid’s after their breakfast.

My son waiting “patiently” for his turn at getting an animal balloon done.

Stage coach.

Stampede would not be stampede without buying yummy, cinnamon sugar mini donuts, these are the only food items we buy at stampede, we always bring our own lunch & snacks.

The Native dance show was great, beautiful dress, great dancing & great drums.

After Stampede we headed to my BIL’s 40th surprise birthday, we didn’t get home till around 9PM last night, the kid’s were bagged, heck I was bagged too…

Today it’s a day of hanging out & PACKING…only 11 more days till possession day & I haven’t packed one single box.

Hope you are all having a great weekend.

Yep, that’s a shoe, 1 SHOE, you might ask where the other one was, stuck in the mud, my hubby had to retrieve it and when I saw my son walking down the sidewalk making footprint trails I couldn’t help but laugh out loud even though I really wanted to ask what the heck was he thinking! I’m sure each shoe must have weighed about 2 lbs each!

Oh those big, brown eyes can melt my heart and help him get away with anything!

Hubby literally had to hose him down and than we spent the next hour cleaning up!

Gotta love boys, definately one for the scrapbooks.

We spent last Friday with the kid’s finishing school than we spent Saturday & Sunday looking at houses, Sunday we went to Calaway Park for a bit in between looking at a house, than Sunday we wrote our 2nd offer on a house…Sunday night we have an accepted offer. I just found out today that we have CMHC approval so now all that’s left is the house inspection…yippee. We have a very quick possession…July 16th, which is OK because we get to move in over 2 weeks since our lease is done July 31st (the house is vacant). So everything has moved very quickly. My hubby has been out of town alot for work & now the kid’s are off for Summer so it’s been comical to say the least! We are staying in Airdrie though which is awesome & in the same school zone.

Tuesday we went and saw Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, good movie, entertaining that’s for sure but LONG, whatever happened to movies only being 90 minutes long although with the price it costs to go to a movie I guess I shouldn’t complain!

Than yesterday was Canada Day so we went to the Canada Day parade here in Airdrie, lots of fun, than we came home to start organizing and get stuff ready for donating, selling & throwing out, than we went to the fireworks here in Airdrie, they didn’t start till 10:40PM though because it takes soooooo long for it to be dark enough (and it still wasn’t completely dark at this time), so by the time we got home it was quite late even though the fireworks were only about 10 mins long (disappointing actually), and I am paying the price today with a brat son!

So that’s the exciting news I have to share, well I have some stuff to do than Saturday we are off for some fun at the Calgary Stampede…YAHOO!!!

So here is my card for Mojo Monday Week 93:

I was very productive yesterday!!!

So here is my layout based on Christy’s challenges, I kept mine very simple, but, it’s another layout DONE!

My son was finished Kindergarten on Thursday & they celebrated in style with the wedding of “Q and U”, a real wedding, it was fabulous with a reception afterwards!

The happy husband & wife.
