It's Monday!

It's Monday night and I'm just now getting around to putting up my post. I am behind on so many things due to some exciting family fun. :)  But for now I have a few things that I have done and would like to share with you. 

I made a card for the PPA94-A Sketch Challenge. Due to my not having lots of time to paper craft I made my card for the challenge using the MDS program.

Here is my card.

  
 
I made this card using the July Fourth stamp set from last year. I love this set and wish that Stamin'UP! had put  it in the 2011 catalog. Since I have it in the MDS program I thought that I would use it any way. :) Yet another nice thing about the MDS program. Many of the discontinued stamps, papers and embellishments are available forever. This card is  7x5" and I can print it out from my own printer or from The SU printing place. Love it!

I have a digital page to share with you. I made it using a challnege that I participated in at Soul Scrappers.

 
This is how our brook looked back in April of this year.  Due to all of the rain that we are having it is even higher and much of the trees and bushes are all green. I hope to get a photo of it before summer comes. :)

 
Here is the free Word Art that I made to use for my title. If you would like to download it for free for your own personal use you can find it here at  4Shared.

I have 3 photos to share with you of Colleen's graduation day. I took many more but have had very little time to resize my photos or edit them. I hope to find time this week to make a smilebox so that I can share with you the photos that I took of her special day

 

 

 Here is a photo of the happy graduate and her very proud father.

Here I am with Colleen. What a great day!

We were very lucky to be able to get some photos after the graduation. It has been raining here in NH for the past 10  days and Sunday was no exception. But we did get a small break so we were all trying to get photos of Colleen and the family as fast as we could.

 Wayne and I had a wonderful weekend. On Saturday we went to the 3youngest , dance recital. It was a long day but so much fun to see them dancing in their different costumes. after we left we headed off to manchester to find me an outfit to wear. It seriously took me over 2 weeks to find something. If Colleen had not been at the mall with Peter and Caleb that night too I do not think that I would have found any thing. Thanks Colleen. :) Sunday as I mentioned above was Colleen's graduation. She graduated with an associates degree of Business Science. She is hoping to go back at some point to get her bachelors degree. After she graduated and the photos were taken Wayne and I left to get to Mount St. Mary's for her surprise party. What a beautiful place to have a party. I took lots of photos and have every intention of sharing them with you.  What a fantastic weekend!

I hope that all of you had a wonderful weekend and that the new week will be a good one as well. Thanks so much for stopping by to see me.  Remember to stay safe and  Smile. :)

What a busy weekend you have had! I love the MDS card. This was my favorite 4th of July set! Your scrapbook page was absolutely perfect...exactly the right layout! Of course, I always love looking at your photos! Enjoy your week!

[Peggy Maier]

My you have been busy! I know it's a happy busy, though. Colleen looks a lot like her dad - same facial features (chin, cheekbones, etc). You can certainly tell they're related! We finally got a little rain
(1 3/4"). Sure need a lot more! (By the way - a great, great, great, etc. grandfather of mine graduated from Dartmouth College in 1810.) I know you're extremely proud of Colleen & her achievement. Hope the rest of your week is blessed beyond measure.
