It's All About The Journey

A Halloween Card, A Page & 2 Photos

 
This will be a quick post. Good to hear right? :) Seriously I have so much to do but I still wanted to share what I have been up to this week. Well, some of it anyway.

I made a very simple Halloween card for the  PPA110-Fashion Inspiration-Bewitched-AND Blog Candy. If your looking for inspiration to make your Halloween cards stop by and see all of the wonderful designs at the PPA site.

Here is my card:

 
Here is what I used.

Stamps: Dark & Dreary and Wicked Cool. Inks: Early Espresso, Soft Suede and Cajun Craze.Card-stock: Very Vanilla and Cajun Craze. DP: Well Worn. I used a mini vintage tag, Early Espresso/white bakers twine and Victoria crochet trim. All of these projects are from Stampin'UP!

This week I made a page for the song/lyric challenge at Soul Scrappers.

 

 
 
 Although I did not use the MDS papers and embellishments I did use the program to build my page the papers etc... are made from Rasberry Road Designs.

The week before last Wayne and I had a chance to go to Ongnquit Beach, Maine. What a beautiful beach. If you like walking along the shore line then you will love this beach.  Wonderful little shops, lots of restaurants and very friendly people. We will be going back next summer for sure. Although we took photos of the ocean we also took photos of one another. We took lots of them but I have 2 I would like to share with you.

Here is a photo I took of Wayne.

  
 
And here is a photo that Wayne took of me.

 
 
 I'm not sure why our photos are coming out some what distorted. Any photos that Ipost on my blog or on my facebook for the past couple of months have not been coming out clear. However, in person they are very clear and look good. If any of you have any suggestions I certainly would love to hear them. I will be doing some research this week and hope I can get some answers. But I hope that you enjoy looking at the photos that I've posted.

I have a busy week coming up and hope to get some stamping time in. No freebie word art this week.  Sorry about that but I truly have not had time to do it.  That's it from me on this Monday early morning.  

Thank you very much for stopping by my blog. I hope that you all have a fantastic week ahead. Remember to stay safe, stay cool and Smile. :)

 

 

A Card, A Page Etc....

Hello to all of you. It is Sunday and it is a hot one! I hope it's cooler by you. :) This week I made a card for the PPA109-Celebrity Color Challenge. I made my card using the MDS program because I did not have the DP that I needed or ribbon for this challenge. So this weeks card is digital not paper crafted. However, if you have all of the items  in card-stock etc....that I used to make this card, you certainly can make it a paper card.

Here is my card.

 

Here is what I used.

The digital color card-stock: Calypso Coral, Riding Hood Red, Basic Gray and Whisper White. I used Basic Gray to print the image, a ribbon is Calypso Coral and I added a digital staple at the upper left hand corner of the Whisper White digital card-stock. I used the digital stamp Friends 24-7 and Hello Doily.
 
 
Next up is a digital page that I made using a challenge from Soul Scrappers.

 

Once again I used the MDS program from Stampin'UP!  To make the title for my page I used PSE. If you would like to download the title that I made you will find the link at the very bottom of my post.

I have some personal news to share with those of you who visit my blog. I am going to be a great grandmother. I am very excited and can hardy wait to have another baby in our family as well as having another generation added to our family.

Molly is my first born granddaughter and the mother to be.

 

I took this photo and a few other photos of Molly right before out family BBQ started.

 

I wanted to take her photos as  tastefully as I possibly could. I think that I succeeded. I took a few more shots of Molly being 14 weeks pregnant. If you would like to see them they are located at my photography blog.

I hope that all of you have been enjoying the weekend. Wayne and I went to the Hopkington Fair yesterday. Fifteen years ago this month was the very first time we went to this fair. We had a wonderful time. It certainly did bring back happy memories. Stay safe,stay cool and Smile. :)
