Hello Friends...

Well I am back with this weeks challenge over at 

This week the sweet and talented Ros is our host
 and is asking us to Cheer Up!!

All you have to do to play along is
 make a "get well" card or a "Thinking of you" card..
Oh yea, She would also like to see something digital on your creation..
Pretty easy right.



Now if this little guy wouldn't cheer you up I really don't know
what would..







I had no red seam binding.. YIKES
So I colored some cream SB with my red copic marker..
Now thats using my thinker.. Hee Hee...



I used watercolor pencils and my copic markers to color this little cutie..
I got her from our sponsor this week Digital Delights..
If you play along with us you might have a chance to
win some of these cute digi stamps..

To get all the details or to check out what all the other gals made you can hop
on over to CCCB..


*******

Just thought I would share a couple of photo from a quick little
trip I took this past weekend..


We pulled our trailer down to river in Arizona..




As you can see fun was had by all...




It just happened to be one of those weird weeks when the weather shot
up over 100 degrees.. Crazy..
Thanks goodness these sites had power and we have an air conditioner..
So crazy that we had to use our air conditioner.. It's only the 1st of April
for goodness sakes..  By Sunday it had cooled back down..
Just when we were leaving..

Thanks so much for stopping by..
Thanks so much for all your sweet comments..
It is much appreciated.

Hugs, Linda

What an adorable card, Linda! I just love that black stitching with all of that pretty red paper. And good thinking on dying your SB with a red Copic!! What fun photos you shared of your trip! I just finished planning our camping trip for this summer and we are *so* excited about it. :)

Your wonderful card would cheer anyone up Linda! So beautifully done!
100 degrees??? We hit the 40 this past weekend, and it felt like a most wonderful heat wave!

Have a fantastic day!

ain't for city gals said...

Linda, I hope your dad is doing better..it is so hard to see them sick. The weather has been a little strange but I will take anything under 100°...lately I have been turning the heat on for about 10 minutes in the mornine and the AC on for about 10 minutes in the evening...all in the same day!

Love you ladybug, Linda! Ladybugs bring good luck and are usually eating the tiny insects off the garden plants. I love to see a swarm of them. Your card is beautiful, love that Red! Love the travel photo's it was 90 here last weekend and was 39 last night, go figure! I love the cool weather though. Have a great day!
