It's All About The Journey

Slippin & Slidin & A Photo

Hi Ladies, I hope that all of you had a wonderful 3 day weekend. Wayne and I stayed home most of the time. Me cleaning & cooking and Wayne doing some repairs around the house.  

Today is my turn to do the challenge at Soul Scrappers. I decided to make a sketch challenge. I've never made a sketch before so this ought to be fun.:) I kept it simple........very simple.  I would love to have you play along. I will be giving away an MDS download  to the winner.The prize is worth 10.00 towards your favorite MDS download.  You can find more information at Soul Scrappers. My Sketch is DC19.

Here is the sketch I made.

Here is my page.

We had gorgeous weather this weekend. Yesterday I walked 3 miles and today I walked 2 miles with Wayne.  I also spent some time outdoors taking some photos with my new lens. I am still trying to get used to it. I'm not used to working with a fixed lens so this is all  new for me. It is getting easier. I took a photo of something growing in with my tomatoes. I have no idea what it is. Cold be a flower or it could be a weed but I had to take photos of it.  Anyway, here is one that I would like to share with you.

Wayne said that I take photos of unusual things some times and he is right. I see beauty in almost every thing. This weed/flower? Also fascinated me which is why I took the photo.

Well that is it from me today. I will be back again soon. Stay safe, stay cool and Smile. :)

 

  

Pretty In Pearls Card & A Few Photos

Hi ladies, this week the PPA challenge is called PPA58-Pretty In Pearls. I could not resist doing this challenge when I saw the photo of Audrey Hepburn wearing her signature black dress and white pearls. This card is suppose to be clean and simple as I think by now you all know how I love clean and simple. :)

Here is my card.

 
 I sure sure hope that you can see all of the little pearls that I used. Four of them are on the flowers on the embossing folder. A litle hard to see.

Here is what I used.

All products are from Stampin'UP!  Stamps: Silhouette Sentiments & Occasional Quotes. Card-Stock:
Basic Black & Very Vanilla. Ink: Black and Rich Razzleberry. I also used basic pearls,Elegant bouquet embossing folder and a Rich Razzleberry satin ribbon. I used 10 tiny pearls. Can you see them all? Hope so. :)  

We were very fortunate here in New England. We escaped the hurricane that was suppose to hit us. Thakfully all we got was rain. And the air is so much cooler. yay! I went for a 2 and a half  mile walk this evening and it was so nice. On Tuesday, I went and visted my daughter and 2 granddaughters for a little while.  I don't get to see them as often as I would like to. So if coure I took a few photos..

 
 On the right is my granddaughter Darcy and her BFF Emily.

 
 

Here is a photo of Darcy, Jen, my daughter and Molly my oldest granddaughter.

 
Here is Jen and of course you know me. :)  Molly took this photo of us.

Well that is about it from me. I will be back when I have something more to share with you. In the mean time I hope that all of you have a fantastic Labor day weekend. Stay safe,stay cool and Smile. :)

 

 

A Prom Page & A Smilebox

Hi ladies, I had to take a break from making cards so that I  could start making more pages for all of the books that I have to finish before December. I know that sounds far off but heck we are in September all ready WOW! Despite the very hot and humid weather we had this summer and my not being able to do some of the things that I wanted to do the season flew by me way too fast. Did it for all of you?

Well here is my page for Molly's book. I only have about 16 more to make for her. Yikes!

 Before I add my smilebox I have a photo I would like to share with you. This time It is a photo of leaf that has turned yellow. I took the photo a few days ago. I bought a new fixed lens for my camera. What it does is make the image I am aiming at looks sharper but the background looks blurry. I am still playing with the lens and trying all kinds of things. :)

Here is my photo.

 

Here is my Smilebox. I made it about our family BBQ that we had last Sunday. We all had a wonderful time. I wish that I could have put all of my photos inside the book but there wasn't enough room. If you have time to look at it I hope you enjoy it.
