Hello blogging world J Cannot believe we are entering our final week of vacation here in Nova Scotia (where the heck did the last 6 weeks go?!?!). We have had such a wonderful time and there are still many things on our to do list before we head back to Ottawa next Sunday.

I am so excited to be hosting my very first challenge over at Sunday Stamps (http://sundaystamps.blogspot.ca) this week! We took a 2 week break but we are back in full swing and have some fabulous challenges planned to take us into fall starting with my sketch this week J

Our Challenge:

My Card:

I realized before I left for vacation that I was getting a little low on little girl birthday cards so I thought I would break out a super fun colour combo and put a few together to add to my card box for the year - hope you like!

Sunday Stamps ~ Happy Birthday Little Boy!

Good Morning all! Sunday is here again and that means 1 month left of vacation for me and my family J Once again we had another fabulous week. My sister was in town visiting this week from Edmonton so we have had a nice time with her.

For this week's card we have an excellent colour combo from Lisa! When I saw this colour combo I thought how perfect for a little boy birthday card and so that is what I made. Ethan's little friend Liam turned 3 yesterday and when we make it back to Ottawa this will be the card he receives with a belated pressie J

Our Challenge:

My Card:

Who doesn't love those fabulous framelits! I get so excited when I see Stampin' UP! coming out with a new design. As a fellow stampin' friend of mine mentioned this week she loves to use them for scrapbooking. I have not had the chance to give that a shot yet but feel they would be fantastic for that as well!

Sunday Stamps ~ The smallest word...

WOW! Sunday is here again which means another week of vacation behind us J We had a wonderful week with a few more beach days and some much needed rain.

Searching for crabs J

So here is this week's Sunday Stamps challenge. We have a lovely sketch from Joan Jeffery over at J J Creations -http://j-jcreations.blogspot.ca. It is so fun to see what each design team member brings to the challenge each week!

For my cards I usually pick a stamp set and then a colour theme and go from there but for this card I actually picked the sentiment first and the rest fell into place. We are just 11 weeks away (but 8 week would be just fine baby lol) from meeting our second child and we CANNOT wait to see what this new little life with bring to our family J 

Our Challenge:

My Card:

I am totally in love with the colour theme of the Summer Smooches DSP the set that suites it is super cute too.

A Little Sparkle to Brighten Your Day

Time has really gotten away from me J I meant to space these posts out a little more to crate a wee bit more action on my blog while I was away but here we are the 28th of July and tomorrow is the deadline!

Once again here with a previously used Sketch over at Merry Monday Challenge to complete my 4th and final card for the July challenge.

I did not have enough room in my luggage to bring any Stampin' stuff with me while I was on holidays but my aunt here in Nova Scotia is a crafty lady too and I may just be able to duck up into her craft area to keep my Merry Monday Challenges going until we make it back to Ottawa in September.

My Challenge:

My Card:

Once again broke into my retired stash of Holiday DSP and came up with this simple card. It is amazing what a little sparkle can add J

Merry Monday #3 for July!

Just chiming in with a SUPER quick Merry Monday post. This is my third entry for the July challenge of one old sketch a week for the month of July! I was able to make these cards before we left for holidays in order to keep up J

My Challenge:

My Card:

I always tends to end up with lots of Christmas DSP left over after the holidays so it is fantastic to be able to use it all up for the MANY Holidays cards I make each year J

Hello From Nova Scotia

Happy Monday to you all! I cannot believe week one of our vacation is behind us now. We are having so much fun and cannot wait for all the fun still to come. As I am on holidays I have taken a break from the many blog challenges I take part in but will still be keeping up with my Sunday Stamps posts J (yes I know it is Monday hehehe)

We have been spending most of our time at the beach and we are LOVING it as you can see!

This week we have a colour challenge over at Sunday Stamps http://sundaystamps.blogspot.ca. Would love for you all to take a pop over and take part. Just think if you complete one challenge a week that is 52 cards you have made in a year!

Our Challenge:

My Card:

I made this card for my grandmother. It is always hard for her to find nice sympathy cards so I wanted to send her out a few special ones!
