Giving Thanks Sophia - SFYTT

This is my submission for Jen's Sketch For You To Try from this past Saturday. I used my new Giving Thanks Sophia from Paper Pretties. I'm a member of their Stamp of the Month Club and this is July's stamp. She reminds me of one of my pretty nieces. They are precious just like this Sophia.

I'm really enjoying this summer off with my son. He will be starting the 5th grade in August and this is the first summer I have had off with him. After having him I stayed home with him until he started Kindergarten then I went back to work. This past January my husband and I decided that Garrett needed me more at home so I gave it all up again. It's been one of the best decisions we have ever made. He is just so precious to me and I don't want to miss anything with him. He is my only child and the time I have with him until he goes to college is going to be so short.

Thanks for coming by to check me out today. I hope you are having a wonderful week. I'll talk to you soon.

It's a weekly occurrence on their blog The Paper Clip. I am so excited and honored that they would pick my card. It's a very cute stamp to play with, especially this time of the year. Thanks Jodi for picking my card!!

Summer Florals- SC234

Are your flowers blooming pretty like this right now? I just love the bright pretty flowers during summer time so I thought I would make a card to reflect that feeling. This card is my submission for last week's SCS Sketch Challenge SC234. I used Fifth Avenue Florals from SU. It has my most favorite flowers of any stamp set. These flowers are so much fun to color.

We will be getting ready for a BBQ at our house today. No one does better smoked ribs than my Chuck. I can almost taste them right now. LOL.

Thanks for coming by to check me out today. Have a great 4th of July. I'll talk to you soon.

In Color Joy - THT004 and AMYRS4

Hello and Happy Thursday. Sorry I haven't posted this week but when we got back from our week long camping trip this past Sunday I brought home a kidney infection with me. That's the first time I have found one of those things in the woods so if you are ever out there in "the wild" watch out. I'm thinking those things grow on trees and when you walk by they just jump on you without you even knowing it. LOL!!!

Anywho, here is my card for this week's Treehouse Thursday Challenge, THT004, hosted by Treehouse Stamps. I used Amy R's sketch, AMYRS4, from this past Friday for my card. I used the newly released set Dino-rific from Treehouse Stamps. Our challenge this week is to use some form of embossing on your card. It can be from a Cuttlebug, Big Shot, Brass Stencils, Faux Embossing, etc. Please play along with us and make sure you use the keywords THT004 when you upload your card.

Do you notice the new bright colors I used on my card? These are three of SU's new In-Colors called Soft Suede, Melon Mambo and Bermuda Bay (hope I got those names right LOL). My precious friend Mercy let me borrow some of hers until mine comes in. I am in love with these new bright and bold colors. Also, here is a pic of Amy's sketch. It's a good one.

Thanks for coming by today and checking me out. I will be posting another card in a few for the Stamps and Smiles Thursday Sketch that's hosted over on The Fresh Batch blog. See you shortly.
