TPE - Color challenge

This week the challenge at http://thepinkelephantchallenge.blogspot.com/ is to use white as the main color of your card.

We were able to use adorable digi images from Meljen Designs. 

If friends were flowers, I'd pick you!

I made this card for MFT Wednesday Stamp Club.  The challenge is Floral Fantasy.  I used my new PI image along with some of the great Die-namics.  Paired it with some fun floral paper and punched flower!! (=

Simply Adore you

Claudia and Company is having a monthly challenge.  The sketch is below.  I used one of Lori  Boyds Lollipops!! They are just too CUTE!! (=

Back from Vacation

It's been awhile since I have posted.  We just returned from a family vacation!  We had such a GREAT time!  I took SO many photos!!  We started our trip on the Oregon coast.  Went down hwy 101 and made lots of fun stops.   The Beach, Devils churn lookout, Sea Lion Caves, Heceta head lighthouse.

Next, we went through the California Redwoods.  BEAUTIFUL drive!!  We stopped at the Battery lighthouse, went to the Tree's of Mystery, Rode the Sky Trail which was so Awesome!! Drove through the Avenue of the trees and drove our car through the Chandelier tree. 

From there we drove into San Franscisco.  This was the first time for the kids.  Drove over the Golden Gate Bridge,  had fun at Fishermans Warf,  Rode the cable cars and drove down America's crookedest street!  Also, got a chance to visit my old College roomate!! (=

Now we headed to Six Flags Great America!! This was probally the funnest for the kids!!  We had so much fun!!   We rode LOTS of rides and fun Roller Coasters and just had a BLAST!!!

Yes, there is more... (=  On our way back we stopped at a Water Park!!  Again,  the kids LOVED this!!!

And Finally on our return to Oregon we visited Wildlife Safari.  So glad we did it.  It was amazing how the animals just came right up to the car!  We had a giraffe standing right next to us! So COOL!!  Also the kids got a chance to ride a Camel. 

We had a FABULOUS vacation!!! The kids were SOOOOO good!  Even the car ride was fun!! Just hanging out together - playing games, singing songs...  Can't wait for our next rode trip whatever that may be!!!

Recipe Challenge at TPE

This week at The Pink Elephant we were able to use adorable images from the sponser Pink Cat Studio.  I love the cute Lily images.  This is Lily Rockstar!  The recipe this week is to use ribbon and sparkle.  I used diamond stickles on her guitar (it was hard to photograph).
