Shiny Happy Farm Fresh Friday

This weeks Farm Fresh Friday was to use a sunny theme. Check out the Shiny Happy Challenge. I also used Aly's Sunday Sketch Challenge (ASSC9) for the layout. Love the way Aly does her sketches, she is so creative, that diagonal panes was really fun to work with.

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! It's very cold here, but may be warming up slightly this week, that would be great!

Sweet Dreamers challenge (bugging out)

I combined two challenges for this sweet little card. Our Sweet Dreamer's blog group was challenged to make a card with a bug on it this week. I hope this little moth qualifies! I don't really have many buggy stamps. I also used Aly's 3rd sketch challenge for the layout. I'm sure you remember me mentioning Aly before, she is the talented ten year old girl who started her own sketch blog. She posts a new sketch every other Sunday and makes her own amazing samples. Check her blog out!

The kids are down at a reasonable hour tonight, so I'm making this post quick so I can go stamp a bit more. Thanks for stopping by today!

Sweet Dreamers' Challenge- ASC2

Here is my card for Aly's second challenge on her Sunday Sketch challenge blog. You may remember I mentioned Aly last week. She is the ten year old daughter of a blogger friend. Aly has started a blog with a new sketch every other Sunday. Her sketch this week was very challenging, and her sample rocks. So check it out if you have time! Our blog group, the Sweet Dreamers, decided to have Aly's challenge as our weekly challenge this week. So this card serves as both. And if you think the paper looks familiar, it's because I used it on the last card I posted. I had a lot left on my desk, so I just went with it!

A little family news... During Finn's birthday party on Sunday he started to walk. He's taken a step or two, but not really walked. He was taking about ten steps at a time during the party. It was exciting, because we had family and friends here to see it. He's continued with the steps all week. He also has mastered the tantrum, he throws himself down and kicks his legs, it actually is pretty funny, because he's so little. And it doesn't last long. It is just so amazing how they do new things all the time when they are so little. Really fun to watch!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Aly's first sketch challenge

Happy Friday everyone! TGIF! My husband has been traveling some this week, so we're glad it's the weekend and he'll be home. Having a little get together for Finn on Sunday, so that should be fun. Not cooking though, doing it the lazy way, take out!

Here is a sketch challenge I completed. It's from a new blog called Aly's Sunday Challenge Blog. This is the first challenge, you can see the sketch here. Now the really cool thing is that this sketch was done by a ten year old girl. She is the daughter of one of the stampers in my blogging group. She also made a card sample for her sketch, her stamping is amazing! She is a very talented young lady! She plans on posting a sketch every other Sunday, there will be a new one this week. I love to see kids involved in crafting! I plan to try to do more of her challenges. Check out her blog and give it a try if you can.

Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend. Stop by tomorrow if you have a chance, I'll have a new Bella card up for their LuLu blog hop.
