Sweet Sketch Wednesday - let's Make it Crafty!!

Hey there friends!!  Time for a new Sketch over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday!!  Our Sponsor this week is Make it Crafty - Click on their Badge to check out all the wonderful images they have to offer.  This week's Winner will be awarded a $15 Gift Certificate!!  How cool is that!?!?

My sister and I (mostly my sister... ;-) have been getting our Beach House ready for the Summer months.  We will have our Annual Father's Day celebration with lots of family and friends in just a few weeks.  I love to see the kids playing on the beach - here are a couple of pics from last year's Father's Day celebration, Willow and Mahalia building their sand castle and some of the family gathered on the Dock.  I love family traditions!!

On to our Sketch:

This week, thoughts of Summer inspired my choice in image selection and I went with this cute Sand Castle image.  I had a few sheets of paper left from an Authentique 6x6 Paper Pad that has a Beach Theme.  The image is colored with my Copics and the button and ribbon are from my stash.

Happy Crafting my friends - I hope you will play along with us!!

Blessings to you!!

Sketch Saturday

I made a quick card yesterday morning for a friend who did me a HUGE favor installing a ceiling fan!!  Definitely something I can not do myself!!  So, I made her this Thank You card using an adorable image from adfd of hatching ducklings...  only, for the purposes of this card I am pretending they are Swans.  On the way to my church there has been a nest with a Momma Swan sitting atop 5 eggs...  I have been checking for her whenever I drive by.  It's been well over a month and a half and she still sits...
Last night both the Momma and Papa Swan were on the nest.  Lo and behold my friend called me this morning to say the eggs were hatching!!!  I Can Not Wait to see these babies!!

The card is made from the Sketch over at Sketch Saturday.  The image colored with my Copics and I added the sentiment from Paper Smooches.  These baby Swans (and my friend) have been a BLESSING to me these last several weeks.  I LOVE to see God's hand at work in Nature and this has been so Special this Spring.  Hopefully I will get some pics of the little family to share soon.



Thanks so much for visiting!!
Blessings to you!!

Sweet Sketch Wednesday

It's Wednesday again - YAY!!  Time for a new Sketch over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday!!  Before I share the Sketch and my card, I wanted to show a few pics of my favorite walking spot.  It is one town over and a home for some farm animals, a Resource for local school children to hike and experience nature and a great place to walk.  These last few mornings have been perfect walking weather.  Cool, crisp air, beautiful blue skies and everything is coming to life...  Today I even saw a White Tail Deer, of course once it spotted me, it high tailed it back into the woods.

Now on to this week's Challenge...  This week our Sponsor is Sally-Ann Hancock of Digi Stamp Boutique.  We all LOVE her images!!  You can check them out HERE  she is such a faithful Sponsor, allows us to use her AWESOME images and offers our Winner 6 FREE Digi Images.  SO - PLAY, PLAY, PLAY along with us!!!

Smell the Roses...

Time for Team B to send out some inspiration for the latest Challenge "Smell the Roses" over at Tuesday Throwdown.  We are Sponsored this week by Pink Cat Studio.  We were given the cutest images to use!!  I chose Lily Sunshine Fairy, how cute is she??  I used an old favorite paper pad that only had a few sheets left... even the cover was gone.  I chose bright colors and colored Lily in with my  Copics.  Added some ribbon and some sparkle, cut out the image and mounted her with Pop Dots.  The sentiment is from Paper Smooches.

I used the Sketch over at Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge:
