Fall Cards

Hi everyone~ hope your week is going well!  I put together a couple of cards that I wanted to share with you.  I've been asked to make more cards that have been quilled.  So here they are...

Back to School

So many of us have children going back to school.  I for one just dropped my daughter off at high school.  Wow how the time flies.  I took a couple of quick pics - cause she's too cool to pose now for those cute little pics!

I can't help but reflect on the years gone by and it reinforces how I want to make sure that these memories are not forgotten.  I will take just a few moments today to jot down a couple of things that I don't want to forget, so when i go to scrapbook it I will have those memories forever.

Digital or Traditional scrapbooking is all about saving those moments, so we can share them with friends and family.  Most importantly (for me) is to be able to pass these memories down to the next generation.

Hug your family and love them while they are at home because all too soon they will be grown up with their own families... and that's a whole new chapter in our lives!

Here she is at 1-1/2 - seems like only yesterday-

p.s. my son will drive himself to college later this month and that just blows my mind completely!

Stamp TV - Free For All Friday - CASE the DT!!

Here's my card for this challenge... fun simple quick.  I love that!

link to stamp tv's site:  http://stamptv.ning.com/forum/topics/free-for-all-friday-case-the-dt-3

rules of the game...Hey ya'll!!  Welcome to this month's installment of CASE the DT!!  Up next in line for this challenge is Illustrator and Stamper extraordinaire Tami Mayberry!!  Here is Tami's gallery link below:

Tami's rocking gallery!

This is how this works...I will give you one of the DT's names, along with a link to their gallery here on StampTV and you can choose ANY card of theirs to CASE. Just tell us which card, either by giving us the title of the card you CASEd or the link to the actual card of the DT member we are doing that week. There are a few simple rules to this and they are:

1. You need to change 2 or more things on the card. Colors, image used, add more bling, take away bling, etc....

2. You will need to provide the title of the card or a link to the card that you CASEd.

3. Have fun!! :D

And remember, you do NOT have to show the actual card of Tami's you CASEd, just the title or a link to it in the description area of the photo you upload! Most importantly, you must CASE TAMI!!  Not Gina or any other DT!

Ok, your turn now!   Here is the small print:

 Please create and upload a new project for this challenge and it can only be entered into this challenge here on StampTV to be eligible for a prize. However, you can use it for challenges outside of StampTV. If you use Gina K. Designs stamps, your name will go into the drawing twice for that awesome prize package!!

Be sure and have your project uploaded to our gallery here on StampTV using the tag STVFRICT22 by 8PM CST Thursday, Aug 23rd!

Camping Photos

I wanted to share a couple of pics of our camping trip.  We were on a river which my hubby and friend had to kayak down, don't worry they looked up all the important info before leaving and even scoped out the rapids first, nothing bigger than a class II on a fast river... ok with that said we also went on a beautiful hike to a waterfall and had to share that too.  Enjoy your weekend everyone!
