Happy Father's Day!

Hello everyone! I've been MIA for a bit, but don't fret, I HAVE been creating! Now I'm at the point however, that I think I'll post current projects, and work my way backwards, and probably have very minimal typing involved. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the instructions, colors etc I'd have to recall and type, so if you have questions, please contact me, and I'll do my best to answer them!

Ok, onto todays creation! This was CASEd from the fabulous Erica Cerwin. I'm not sure how she got her photos so clear, but I am in awe! I love, love, LOVE it, and knew right away I needed to recreate it for my dad for Father's Day!

My mom and dad are coming over tonight for dinner, but I'm fairly certain he won't peek at my blog before he receives his present! This photo was taken at one of our favorite spots ever (my parent's summer place), so I am sure it will be delivered up there 1st thing tomorrow when they return! Love that it brings a bit of whimsy, surprise, and a whole lot of memories along with it!

Ingredients: (All SU!)
Travel Log stamp Set (in current Summer Mini!), Old Olive CS, Whisper White CS, Real Red CS and Classic Ink, Early Espresso Classic Ink, 1" square punch, Owl Punch, Distressing Essentials Kit, sand and rocks courtesy Sauble Beach, and jar courtesy of Bicks! :o)

Inkspirations Color Challenge #68

Good afternoon everyone! I wanted to quickly post this, so I can enter it into Keesh's Color challenge before the cut off date. The colors she chose are Pretty In Pink, Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery and Whisper White. Puhhhleeeze click on the photo above to get a better view of it (and excuse the photo in the frame, I quickly whipped it off of my computer so I would have something to fill in the open space, I have a 5x7 of this photo on order, but it won't arrive in time!), as you can't see the matt very well as is. I adore the new Travel Log set from Stampin' Up! and love that you can make your own little mapped backgrounds with it! This is one of the projects we will be making at my "Mom and Me" summer class (though I am thinking Cherry Cobbler, Not Quite Navy and Garden Green for the boys!), being held June 4th, 1-3. Contact me asap to reserve your seat(s)!
