Weekend Fun....

Good Morning,
I'm sharing some photos from our fun Easter weekend. On Saturday, Ben and I spent the day hiking to Bad Branch Falls. It is a beautiful waterfall located on one of the highest mountain ranges in Kentucky. We hiked in just a little over a mile on a rugged and rocky terrain. It was so worth it. We had been in to different parts before, but never to the falls.
Here's a couple photos for you.

Isn't this just beautiful! We were blessed with the perfect day!

On Sunday, the little kids came to go to church with us. We all attend church with my Gran on Easter. That is one Sunday she wants the family to attend the same church. I always get to help the kiddos color eggs while "the grown ups" are getting the dinner finished. Here's a couple of Easter fun photos of my two blessings!

This photo was taken outside the church. My little man was not into the picture taking mood.
These two are the kiddos coloring their eggs. Jon-Christopher didn't mind sitting picnic style to do his, but Ashlea wanted a table.

Don't forget to come back tomorrow to see what is new at The Sisterhood!

And Practical Scrappers is being sponsored by Creations by Penny this month! This week's winner will get 5 digis!

Blessings,

SECOND POST, SCROLL FOR FROSTED DESIGNS POST
This week at The Town Scrapper, we are challenging you to use charms on your project. We have a tutorial for handmade charms here.
I decided to use the little butterfly from the Sophie in the garden image to create my own charm. I colored it up, traced an acrylic little tag, cut to fit, and then adhered it together. My image is one of the new Victoria Case images. Isn't it just perfect for an Easter greeting?

The winner of this week's challenge will get her pick of any one of the six original Victoria Case images Phebe has at The Town Scrapper. Our Scrapettes have such incredible inspiration for you and your charms. Please visit them by the links in my side bar. Leave them some happy love!

Blessings,

Hoppy Easter....

SECOND POST, SCROLL FOR THE SISTERHOOD SOCIAL
Today is another new challenge up at Penny's Challenges. Penny wants to see your Easter themed projects this week. So, I pulled out some really old Mullberry paper, kind of did a little free hand on the bunny, wet the mullberry along the edges I wanted to tear and look how cute this bunny is! This was a very simple layout. I cut the title using Cuttin' Up cart. The cardstock is CTMH, the dps are very old were just in my stash. I used a Martha punch and my white gelly roll pen. I also just used my finger and some pink chalk to make the pink in his ears and cheeks. For some fun I gave him some wiggly eyes and a button nose.

My incredibly talented sisters at Penny's have some beautiful cards and projects to offer inspiration. You must head over to visit them and leave them some love!

Blessings,

Easter Chicks.....

Good Morning,
Today is a new challenge over at Practical Scrappers. Thanks to you all who played last week! I always love to see just how creative you can be with each challenge and I love the inspiration I always receive from you! Congrats to our top 3 this week, Denise, Gram Cheryl, Penny and a favorite, Gloria. You can see their winning creations here.

On to our new challenge, this week, we want to see you using flowers.
We're going to pick three winners - the most creative use of flowers, the project that uses the most flowers (leave us a comment so we know), and again our favorite project! We will also be picking one winner randomly generated to get some bling from Glitz Design.
I used this sketch from my incredibly talented dt sister at PS, Heidi. I love this sketch and it worked perfectly for what I wanted in this layout.



Here is the layout. All my papers are My Mind's Eye. The title is thickers, inks are CTMH, the bling flourish is Prima, and the stones in the flowers are from stash.



Be sure to visit my PS sisters, amazing creations to be seen. Leave them so love and let them know how they inspire you!


Blessings,
