You are the world...

Here's a bookmark I created using a quote provided to me by Bela for Kards for Kids, HSC challenge. I used one of my all-time favourite Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps for this. I'm please with how it turned out...and it just so happens to fit into the current KKS Challenge #197 - School's Back in (create a bookmark) I didn't attach a ribbon as I'm not sure we can do that for the Kards for Kids, HSC items...otherwise I would have put a fancy pink ribbon on it !!

You deserve a treat

Here's a cute little card I made using a Sassy Cheryl's Digital image.

Sassy Cheryl's Show Me Thursday #128

Here's a photo I took of my son this afternoon after going out for a drive in our Convertible Mustang to get an end of summer "Ice Cream Cone" in Erin, Ontario. Bailey's Ice Cream Shop is amazing and the portion sizes are immense. It was a beautiful drive, but somewhat cool in the 'stang. Thomas managed to doze off on the drive home !!

Happily Ever After

Here's a Wedding card I created for the Brown Sugar Challenge #57. It uses a Meljen's Designs Image and I had this cute heart paper that went beautifully with that image.

Datebook clip (bookmark)
