Layout - Sunnyside (Good Spirit Lake)

I haven't been to Sunnyside Beach for well over a decade (maybe two). It seemed like such a long drive as a child and I was surprised that it only takes a half hour or so to get there. It's funny how time perception is different when you get older.

We went with my brother and his family. The sand was soft and did wonders for my feet.

In case you can't read the journalling, my nephew took some sand and water home from the lake and made snowmen from styrofoam balls and made a little beach for them and set them out on mom's deck so they could suntan... It was pretty cute.

Layout - (Horse) Racing

In July we went to Yorkton to spend some time with my nephew while mom was watching him for the week. When we came into town we went straight to the races where we knew mom, her beau, and my nephew would be.

I just got a 55-200mm zoom lens for my Nikon and I was trying it out. I got some pretty cool shots, my favourite being the feature photo at the top right.

Photo - Teapot & Roses

I bought these roses at Superstore on Friday and I expected them to die within a day b/c they were only $1 each. But here they are on Sunday, full beautiful plump blooms. I bought the teapot at Niagra Falls during our holiday this summer.

I just love the picture. The colours, the beauty, the simplicity.

I don't have the camera setting available to post, but it was taken on the "No Flash" option with my Nikon D40, 55-200 mm zoom lens.

Card - Dragonfly Best Wishes

I'm so proud of this card. I love it. I was inspired by a stamp set I saw on the Basic Grey website. It had a dragonfly and some bees with leaves for wings (going to try that another day).

Supplies: Cardstock (Bazzill Basics and Provo Craft); PP (Basic Grey); Stamps (can't remember, but I bought them at Walmart); Ink (Versamark, Tsukineko); Die Cut Machine (Cricut); Cartridges (George, Lyrical Letters); other (chalk, corner rounder punch, pop dots)

Card - Turning Grey to Blue

I made this card for someone I haven't yet met. I heard that she is struggling and I wanted to cheer her up. The idea for this card came to me in a dream and I couldn't wait until the weekend to make it. Here it is, and it's not even 9:00 am on Saturday!

Supplies: CS (Other); PP (Provo Craft); Mulberry (unknown); Stamps (EK Success and Fiskers); Ink (ColorBox and Pig-Meez); Brads (unknown); Cricut carts (Mickey & Friends, Storybook, Lyrical Letters).

Cards - Thank You

Enjoy. You may be getting these one day.

A couple of cards I made using my new Cricut cartridge, Lyrical Letters. Love it, love it, love it.
