Merry Christmas in July

What a sweet image to work with.  I entered this  Christmas Card in the CDAC Sketch Challenge28.  I think this is the earliest I have ever made a Christmas card.  This is a Bugaboo Image, colored with copics and Gelly Roll Pens.  Stampendous crystal snow on leaves from Martha Stewart Punch.  Anna Griffin DP and Ofray Ribbon.  Flower soft on the hat.  The sentiment is a small sticker from Suzy's Zoo.

Seem to spend every morning watering the lawn and garden it is so dry here, the rains just seem to keep by-passing us.  This afternoon took my hubby to the dentist.  His appointment lasted two hours and kind of backed up all the other afternoon patients.  A tooth that was in sideways had fused itself to the jawbone.
The dentist said he had never seen that happen before.  Anyway he came through it looking pretty good. But because he can only eat soft foods for a couple of days I feel a little guilty when I eat something he can't have right now.

Birds Nest

I entered this sweet digi from Pattie G in last weeks CDAC Sketch Challenge.  I used all bright colors and paper pieced the image.  The flowers, leaves and sentiment were punched from cardstock.  The flower punch and circle punches were from stamping up and the leaves were from a Martha Stewart punch.  I do like the results, even though I forgot to put the ribbon across the bottom and it was too late after I had it all glued.

When you have visitors, sometimes, it is hard to get everything done, that is why I am just getting around to adding it to my blog now. 

The Happy Cow

 

This digi image is from Marg Kieser, I think it is a happy fun image.  I am entering this card in the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge MMSC112.   I have colored it with copics, and added 3 different colors of denim dp as the background.  I have the chosen the Keep it simple version of the sketch.

I have not been very active on the CDAC site this week, I have just popped in several times to see what is going on. 

I have had company all week.  My daughter and her three children have all been here for the week.  My daughter has been working all week from my house, sending her work to the office via her computer.  Her eldest was going to computer camp every morning, and I got to drive him.  Her daughter was going to gymnastics and they went on their bikes, as it was very close to where we live.  Baby got to stay at home with whoever was still there.  It was a very busy week, but it was so nice to have them here and keep in touch with events in their lives.  I must add some pictures of  Colton to my blog, he is now 10 weeks old. 

They both enjoyed their camps, and may return again over the summer for another session.  ( I hope so!)
