Daughter

I created this LO for a posted sketch challenge over on the cricut MB but I didn't use my cricut for any part of it. I used pictures taken of DD while we were in Chicago, she's wearing a hat that once belonged to her father. When he saw the pictures he wasn't happy that it was all pushed in!

Family Ties

This is the first LO that I created using pictures from a recent family reunion in Chicago last month. I also created this LO for a challenge posted over on the Cricut MB. I cut the butterfly using the wrap from a cricut cartridge and colored it with alcohol inks; this was my first time using alcohol inks. These pictures were taken for the Saturday evening banquet where the requested attire was African. I used pictures of my DD, DH and MIL.

Sisters Rule

I created this LO for one of the Technique Tuesday challenges over at Scraps of Color. I used a picture of me and my two sisters, I don't know the exact year but I do know that it was Christmas Day and we were at a family dinner! I love this picture of us especially since it is one of the few pictures I have of the three of us. I used misc pattern paper and some foam stickers from the $1 zone at Target. I picked the embellishment up from ACM a few months back.

Chicago Cows

We recently went to Chicago for a family reunion. I took pictures of these cows in the Midway Hotel Center where we had the reunion. We have had fish here in Richmond and mermaids in VA Beach.

Christmas in July

Over at Scraps of Color, the weekend card challenges for the month of July was to create various holiday cards. Card challenges included a blue Christmas card, a card with a Christmas tree (non-green), a card with no red or green and finally a Kwanzaa card. Don't be surprised if you receive one of these cards this holiday season!

Family Reunion

I created this LO using pictures from a recent family reunion for a posted challenge sketch over on the Cricut MB. I used the cricut for the circles and most everything else was scraps from some misc. paper packs and buttons.

Hattitude

DD recently went to the theatre to see the play CROWNS. It's a play about hats, DD was invited to the play by her aunt. They went to dinner and then to the play with a group from my SIL's church.
