Just playin around…

I’ve been having a little fun today…just playin around. I needed to take a break and decided to make something just for fun. I also did a little photo editing on a few of the thousands of photos I’ve snapped this summer. I’ve learned that the more photos you take, the better the chance you have of getting one you love. With digital…there’s no expense so why not?! So here’s little peek at what I’ve been doing today!

After cleaning up my stamps…all 19 sets that I had scattered around ( I know,  I seriously need some help!) I decided I wasn’t going to pull them out again and instead came up with this scrappy card design. It was all stuff I had laying around my desk  and it was fun to put it together. Card Patterns had a great sketch this week and as I’ve been meaning to play along on their site, it was a great time. Using a sketch always makes the process so much simpler as a lot of the thinking is done for you. I turned this sketch on it’s side to make it work with the paper I wanted to use.

My garden has been blooming beautifully this year with all the rain we’ve had. OK. The weeds have been doing well too but I’m getting there. 😉 I like flowers that I can’t kill and lilies and daylilies always seem to do well. I brought one of my Stargazer lilies into the house yesterday. Isn’t it gorgeous? The detail the Creator put into this work of art always amazes me!

I’ve been asked for more puppy pictures. I’m having some serious issues with getting pictures of a puppy who will not stay still! He’s keeping all of us on our toes. It actually took THREE of us to catch him last night after I let him out for a run. His ears are starting to half stand up and he’s almost doubled in size the past two weeks. He’s chewing everything in sight and has started digging a  hole under one of our tress. He is such a DOG! lol A puppy is a totally different kettle of fish than the lovely old guardian we had. Here he is after his first bath. You can see how thrilled he was. 😉

And lastly…here’s my two littlest ones at a splash pad last week…

…summer fun at its best!

Enjoy your summer weekend!
