WOW.. A whole week went by..
Where the heck did the time go. Lets just say I have been
enjoying my summer.. We escaped the heat for the weekend and
took another camping trip. This time it was three days in a tent. YIKES.
I still enjoyed every minute of it.
I was pretty excited this
morning when I woke up hearing raindrops outside..
Of course I popped out of bed and grabbed my camera
and ran outside..

OK... It wasn't a heavy rain but just enough to get me excited.
I am hopping it sticks around for at least a little while.
As you might already know it's that time of the
week again to show you what I have created for
Kirsty is our lovely host and her theme this week is "Solid as a Rock"
You must use solid paper in your project. No designed papers..
So I used yellow and tan tones as you can see.
And a whole lot of stitching..
I just love this little flower stamp.
I know you have seen it before and will probably see
it again. I colored it with my copic markers.
To get all the details on this challenge you can hop on over to
Once again this week I made a card for the
Jingle Bells Challenge.. YEA.. That makes two Christmas card
done for me.. I am on a roll now..
The theme this week is Santa Baby..
And I just love this Santa Image. It is from Graphic Fairy..
Well that is all I have for now. I am hoping I don't go a whole
week without posting again.. But you never know what the week will bring.
So have you been enjoying watching the Olympics.
I know I have.. Last night I was on the edge of my seat watching
women's beach Volley Ball.. Dang those women are in shape.
USA pulled off the win.. Hopefully they can hold on to it and get the Gold.
Thanks so much for Visiting.
Hugs~

Yes, I have been glued to the tv lately, watching the Olympics! And loving every minute! Love your photos, too. wow, you did an amazing job capturing "rain"! and you did an amazing job with this week's CCCB challenge. I would fail without my patterned paper. ;0 Love all your layers and the summery color combo and stitching. Lovely flower image, too. And a fabulous holiday card! Love that vintage style!
Oh I am thrilled that you were able to photograph the lovely rain...I know you don't see that much where you live so it must have been like being in a candy store!! You catured some beautiful rain-drop images!! Love both cards, especially the Santa. I have always been a Santa fan.
All that stitching on the card really makes that one a standout. The Santa card is awesome with the poinsettia detail; gift wrapped like a present. So much attention to detail goes into your cards. Color me impressed!
Beautiful cards! Your stitching looks so neat, mine never does! Enjoy the rain, we have plenty of it here all the time! Valerie

Love your pretty card using just the yellow shade, and the stitching is just so Linda.
Lovely and cute holiday card too, I better get mine going!

Tent camping is so fun I think! But only as long as you have an air mattress. I can't sleep on the ground anymore.
I love the stitching on your card Linda...the whole thing is so pretty and well done!
Hello Linda! Love those raindrop pictures. So clear, so macro!
The stitching on your CCCB card is PERFECT! And that vintage Santa is so cool...great design on there.

Love both cards Linda... love the colors... they are gorgeous... hugs..xoxo

We've been watching the Olympics too. I've really been enjoying synchronized diving - its just so impressive!
Hi there! Sorry been MIA but back and ready to say your cards are loevly! I love the Christmas one with Santa. your stitching looks fab! Great photos too!
Just checking out my fellow Jingle Belles (have yet to create my card, though) ...
Love the cardstock only card with all that neat stitching but I totally adore your Christmas card with those warm reds and vintage Santa.
Hi Linda, I just was checking your card for the Jingle Belles challenge, trying to come up with ideas for my own, and I have to say I just love your blog! The cards are both wonderful and your photos are fantastic! Great stuff. Cyndie
Both cards are wonderful! Pretty colors on that sweet flower stamp and the black ribbon really sets it off. It does feel good to have some things done for Christmas - it's just around the corner!
Linda, I'm so glad to hear I'm not the only one who did the tent thing! LOl
What an experience.
Beautiful cads and yes your on a roll for Christmas already!
hugs Lynn
Gorgeous cards Linda...LOVE a bit of stitchery on a project!!
Yep, we've been hooked on the Olympics too...it's not too far from where I live (20 min drive away)we are still hoping to get our hands on some tickets! Jan x
I'm glad I am not the only one who gets excited about raindrops. I almost broke my leg running up the stairs for my camera when the storm started here the other day! Amazing droplet pictures :D
Both cards are so sweet and lovely. The details are sweet. The stitched edges and bright colors. Lovely! The photos of the rain are cool. We need the rain too still!
The photos are wonderful, but I love the cards with the sewn zig-zag. That stitch always makes me smile and reminds me of my Momma. :)
Beautiful pictures and cards. I love the image on the birthday card. Wishing you a fun and creative week.
Hugs
