I may be a little crabby.....

Hello, 

How is everyone doing?

I am fine, getting busy once again, kids schedules and activities. I also must have sucker written on my forehead. I sign up last night to be in charge of 3 marching band activities.  It is all good, anything to help make some extra money for the Marching band will help. Right?

Today's card is with a new image from Doodle Pantry, called Quirky Crab. He is a super cute crab on the beach. 

The Crab and the saying are from Doodle Pantry. The Smaller images at the top are from Flourishes called Beach life.

I have also used one of Arlana's great sketch for Sweet Sketch Wednesdays. It has been I while since I joined in with Sweet Sketch, the girls are so sweet and leave you the most encouraging comments. Hi SSW girls, happy to join in this week!  Thanks for stopping by. 

Happy b-day

Hello, 

Today I have Birthday card for you with a image from The Stamping Boutique. 

This is such a fun image to color and it also could go for Christmas, as a pile of presents. I even think this could be a guys card, the colors are bright but, they could work for a guy. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day! 

Challenges: Make it Monday- Anything goes.

Sensational Neutrals.

Welcome to Saturday and another sensational one at Sugar Creek

Hollow.  This week our challenge is all about NEUTRALS.  We want you to create

a vintage, primitive or shabby chic card or other paper-crafted project

in neutral colors, preferably off-white, kraft or gray.  You may

use a bit of color in your vintage style image but nowhere else on your

creation.

Here is my creation this week, I used Off white and black.  For this card I used an oldie but a goodie from SU. Lovely as a Tree. This is such a beautiful set. I embossed the tree and the Oak leaves with black embossing powder.

This should be a very easy challenge because there are so many gorgeous

neutral papers and embellishments available online and in the craft

stores now and the best part is that so many of them are of a vintage

style.

We will give one random winner a digi of our choice and a badge to

display.  In addition the Design Team will choose a Card of the

Week and the creator will receive a badge to display and will be in the

running for a Guest Designer spot.

Our designers have created some wonderful inspiration for you and if you

would like to see the details, just click on their name and you will be

taken directly to their blog. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Vacation photos.

Here are just a few of our vacation Photos from the hundreds that I took!

Here is my son, Nic with a trout that he caught in a river in Yellowstone. After a bad start this made a good finish for him. 

This BIG guy was grazing by the road side. We had the great experience of a heard crossing right in front of our camper. There were lots of babies too.

Here is my daughter, Mia she got a big kick out of these giant Puff balls that were growing everywhere.

This coyote was pouncing on something, this is a drive by photo. We were driving by and there was no room to stop and get the picture, so I rolled down my window and took a shot. Not too bad, I wish he would of looked up but,  I guess he was busy.

This is one of my favorites! I was so bummed that we did not see a Moose. I spotted this super photo opportunity as we were heading south and leaving the Tetons! At first I didn't think he was real. LOL!

Thanks for stopping by. 

Bouncing you way....
