It’s sketch challenge at PalsPaperArts this week…

created by the lovely Margaret Moody and here is my take….

 and  I’ll quickly tell you about this guy…..

sorry for the cruddy pic. , but I was far up in my warehouse {packing Sundog orders} when I saw this hawk  just standing by my gargage.  I thought he was hurt because he didn’t move for a long time. What was really happening this sneaky hawk was using  my bushes to hide. My neighbors feed every sort of  wildlife available to New England… turkey…fox..chipmunks….birds. Well Mr. Hawk could not get a direct dive because of the tall Pine trees, so he patiently waited { so long I was getting ready to call the game warden and tell him we had an injured bird at the house} and then he made his move.  He ran {never seen that before} took a quick low flight and thank goodness I didn’t see the rest { feathers  flew,  the sky filled with small birds, you get it}.

Well that was my excitement for today.

Enjoy!!

Sunday’s surfing turned into Mojo Monday’s inspiration. We spent yesterday afternoon {and evening} on the beach surfing and grilling and playing in the sand. I love living in Maine all year, but summer living in Maine is just perfect!! So when I saw today’s sketch for Mojo Monday 148…

well I must have still been in a Sunday frame of mind…

I wouldn’t mind staying in that frame of mind , but alas the phone is ringing and work is calling

Enjoy!!

It’s a WEDDING THEME at PalsPaperArts and I couldn’t resist using some new items from the new Stampin’ Up catalog { like the cute little Two step Owl x*tra large punch, the new In*Colors, and some Smooch Spritz}….

 aren’t the little pearls to die for { they’re a great value too 150 [ 50each] in 3 verying sizes plus 3 strips [2-5/8"] for borders}.  Have a fantastic weekend!

Enjoy!!

It’s time for another Mojo Monday  and here we go with this delightful sketch….

and here’s mine…

 and here is a little sneak peek for SundogCompany  they’re not available quite yet but can’t resist sharing a few of the new products being uploaded….

and….

EnJOy!

It’s a color challenge at  Pals Paper Arts  this week…..

very nice indeed…except i didn’t seem to have Going Gray so I substituted Basic Gray……. and I wish the photo captured all the smooch spritz I used!!   If you could see the card close up you would see shimmer on the vintage wallpaper background…. the flower petals….and the center of the flower { three seperate smooch colors}……

Enjoy!!

It is 87* degrees at 8:19 am here at my house in MAINE… and I know we are not the hottest place on the east coast today….just gotta love summer!! With summer comes flowers so check out this beautiful Hydrangia set from StampinUp’s new catalog….. I used it to create this card for Mojo Monday 146

I am loving so many of the new products Stampin’Up has put out this year!!  The hydrangia petals are easy to POP’ UP  with the four petal punch from the trio punch pack…..

now I am off to get work done , because as soon as the kids wake up they are gonna be begging to hit the water for a little tubing, water trampoline….aaahhh summer

Enjoy!

It’s good to be back, my camara  BIT IT and that made it a little tricky to post But it finally occured to me to use my son’s camara until I find the camara I want. Anyway I’m back and have a little something for Mojo Monday 145 and Pals Paper Arts 48 . Lets start with a little Mojo…

Round or Square, how about both {I’m feelin’ a little pent up creativity} and I’m LOVE * LOVE * LOVIN’ the new colors and stamp sets from Stampin’ Up!

and of course lets not forget PPA and this weeks sketch challenge (by my favorite Margaret Moody )….

PHEEEW… it does feel good to be back

Enjoy!!

Some of  the Stampin’ Up retired stamp sets just can’t seem to stay on the retired shelf.  Like  “On the Fly” it’s an old favorite of mine {especially around father’s day}. So I pulled it out for this weeks Mojo Monday ….

and here’s an after thought…should have used a build-a-brad with the hounds tooth…next time!

Enjoy your day!

This was such a fun sketch from Taylored Expressions…..

and here is my version…..

and here are the few extras….

and one more…..

Okay I’m on the run today, lots to do, BUT i couldn’t resist the sketch for Mojo Moday 139…

and here it is….

you have just gotta love all  the new products from Stampin’ Up!!  Endless possibilities!!

Cheers,
