Happy Camper Blog Hop


Welcome to my stop on the Jillibean Soup 
Happy Camper Blog Hop! 

So excited to share my project with you today, it is a mini album featuring photos from our Father's Day Weekend Camping Trip. We had such a wonderful time that I had to add extra pages to hold all the photos :) This collection was so perfect for our adventure and I am completely in love with this new line- the colors, the critters, those campers and the fab designs are right up my alley. I also just happened to have the Cricut Cartridge/Campin Critters and turns out it is the perfect complement to this collection.
Enough with the talk, take a look and judge for yourself:



Sorry Photos have been removed for Publication :) Watch for this mini album in Cricut Idea Book Feb. 2014

So any guess as to who is the guest designer for the Card Kitchen this month?
Here are a couple sneak peeks from the 9 cards I created for the assignment. The July kit is full of yummy summer goodness featuring the Fresh Vegetable Soup Collection, you can get yours here.  There is seed packet paper, mason jar diecuts and a new clear stamp set included in this fun kit.

 







This collection's B sides are very versatile and the color palette is perfect for bright and cheerful cards or layouts! To see all of my completed cards watch for them on the Card Kitchen blog all week!

Be sure to come back by the blog on Friday, July 5th- The Jillibean Bean Soup Design Team is doing a Happy Camper Blog Hop and I have a Father's Day Camping Trip Mini Album to share!

See You Soon!

Aspen Graduates

So it has been a long time since I posted, there is a very good reason. My daughter graduated High School on May 25th and the weekend after we celebrated with her party. The weeks prior were spent planning and scrapping preparing for the big party day. Special thanks to my parents for hosting the Graduation Party, it was a wonderful day! Also a giant thank you to all the family and friends that came or sent cards and gifts. I just wanted to share a photo recap of this milestone event:


Aspen getting her dipoloma.
My absolute favorite photo of the event, love that face!
Family photo at home before ceremony.

And some pics from the Graduation Party:

Precious Easter Memories

Just wanted to share some family Easter photos. It was a difficult Easter for us losing my dear Aunt Betty that week, words can't describe the emotional roller coaster the last few weeks have been. However, we know how much fun she had with us last Easter and so it is certain that she was with us in spirit. So first I want to share a photo of her from last Easter:

Rest in peace Aunt Betty, until we meet again.
Having Aunt Betty here for the past year was such a blessing, she made every family gathering more fun. Sharing this past years holidays with her made them so much more precious, she so appreciated every moment- knowing her time was limited. Much can be learned from her attitude and compassionate spirit, the strength of her faith was unwavering up to the end of her journey here.
2 Timothy 4:7
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Amen

Now on to sharing some family moments:


 






 But the highlight of the week was the day after Easter when Aspen was baptized. Oh Happy Day!
So proud of my baby girl and the extraordinary woman she is becoming. Praise the Lord.
