Good morning! I can't remember if I had shared with you that Cortney is getting the opportunity to "walk" the runway in August. Runway Loud is doing a large fundraiser for the March of Dimes. We are so grateful for this amazing opportunity. They had their launch party yesterday, and since we couldn't be there, I had created a video to share Cortney's story. I hope you can take a few minutes to view it.
Have a great day!

Summer Invite Inside a Hot Dog!
Yep, an invitation stuffed inside a hot dog. Why not? Anything goes in crafting right? ;)
This invite was published in Northridge's Cricut Magazine.
I love the Fast Food Cartridge from Provo Craft. I assembled my hot dog and made sure not to glue the center at all.....only the edges behind the relish. I wanted the "onion" to be able to slip in there easily.
For the onion I cut an additional circle and ran it through my printer for all the details of the party. I took a soft yellow Copic marker and made my rings along the perimeter to resemble an onion. Of course, I don't think onions usually have gingham bows and red gems....but remember anything goes in crafting! ;)
Cort and I are planning on hopping in the pool today! Nowhere to go. Nowhere to be.
No makeup, no chasing, nothing pressing at all.....just relaxation today in our floaties!
Enjoy your day!

Mommy to Be and Other Misc. Stuff!
Good morning! I hope you all had a great weekend! I had a busy weekend of golfing, birthdays, and Father's Day!
Today's card was a card I had created awhile back for Northridge Publishing's Cricut Magazine. I just gave it to Cortney's teacher who is expecting her first baby in the fall.
It was created using two cartridges, Baby Shower and New Arrival.
I used a variety of designer papers against the black to make it pop a bit. (no pun intended! HA!)
It has been busy around here for sure!
Last weekend was my niece's dance recital and I finally edited a couple of the pictures from it.
She loved wearing her ballet dress!
I adore her coy expression here.....
This weekend was Brian's birthday and of course Father's Day. Brian and I are lucky enough to have both our dads to celebrate with. Here is my Father in law. :)
And my birthday boy!
And my dad......
I have lots more to share with you since my camera has been on overload lately! But I don't want to overwhelm you! ;)
Cort and I are off to her orthopaedic doctor for a check up today. It is an hour drive and takes up most of the day. She will need surgery in the next year and I am waiting to see when the doctor thinks it will be the appropriate time.
Have a wonderful day my friends!

Good Dog!
Good morning! I am officially finished with school and ready to begin my summer!
Crafty Secrets has the cutest set ever for all of you dog lovers out there! The set is a fun digital set called, Big Dog!
I printed two copies of it, so I could cut out the center and pop it up using dimensional foam circles. I traced the shape on cream cardstock so that I would have a back to my card. ;)
The image was colored using Prisma Colored Pencils.
I added black epoxy puffy paint to the paw prints for added dimension.
I added a few fun touches to finish the card off, colored seam binding, string, twine, a little flower, and a dangling bone charm.
Today is my husband's birthday, so I've got lots to get done before he gets home from golfing!
Have a happy day my friends!

JustRite's Last June Release-Snow Days!
Good morning! Today is JustRite's last day of their June release! As you know I love making shaped cards and look for any excuse to create them! I found this cute Christmas cupcake cut at the Silhouette Store. I wanted to add a subtle wintery texture to it, so I stamped the new background stamp, Snow Days in Versarmark. I sprinkled it with a blue embossing powder by Zing. 
The snowflakes add a bit of whimsy without being too overwhelming and "in your face." I added lots of Doodlebug glitter and pearls for my sprinkles. I finished it off with a bit of silk ribbon, string, and a little satin posy I had in my stash.
Be sure to pay these ladies a visit today! :)
I am off to see my little niece's dance recital today! I am sure I will have to share some pics of her tomorrow!
Have a wonderful blessed Sunday!
