Veggie Tales DVD...
Little Bit is all about Veggie Tales these days. It is about the only thing she wants to watch! So when I saw that Big Idea was giving away a free DVD just for signing up for their newsletter...I jumped on the offer. There were 3 DVDs to choose from. You do have to pay shipping, but it was only $2.99. You can't beat that price for a DVD your child is going to love...at least I know mine will!!!

Garden goodies...
Summer is great!...well, don't love the heat but having a garden is just wonderful! Thursday night we went out to check on its progress....these are the goodies we harvested so far. The last of the lettuce, a couple handfuls of green beans, 2 onions, 2 zucchini, carrots and a couple cherry tomatoes! So of course I had to use it up! For dinner I decided to make meatloaf {using onion it it}, green beans and sauteed zucchini! It was great! Had more sauteed zucchini tonight and plan to make some zucchini bread tomorrow. Still waiting for the tomatoes to get fully ripe. This was our first attempt at a garden and it is a great success!!!

Creative Corner...Happy Father's Day!
Happy Father's Day to all the dad's out there! Here is Little Bit's card for her daddy...
I had a few of these stamped owls lying on my desk, leftover from a previous project, and Little Bit kept asking for the "whos". So she would sit on my lap and entertain herself for a bit looking at these little owls. She always made it a point to show daddy the "whos" whenever she was playing with them. I decided what a perfect thing to use for a father's day card. So I went with the sentiment..."who" loves you...and there you have it! Hope he likes it!!!
Recipe:
Paper ~ white, kiwi kiss, SU designer paper "good morning sunshine"
Stamps ~ SU "forest friends"
Ink ~ brown, choc chip marker
Accessories ~ ribbon, button, key tag punch

Creative Corner...Binder Makeover
Ok...so I got this 8.5x11 binder at Big Lots the other day for $2.00! It is actually a Martha Stewart wedding planner and organizer. I thought the color was cute and that I could definitely use if for something...especially at that price. Where can you find an album for 2 bucks, really?!
I also found some yummo American Crafts Patterned Paper {metropolitan} at Big Lots as well. Using that and some SU In Colors, I covered a few areas on the album that had printing referring to weddings....spine, front and inside cover. Then I added some page protectors it is good to go!
Included inside the wedding planner were some things I will toss but there were actually some items that I could reuse...a 3 hole punch, some cute stickers and tab folders that could be altered. What a great bargain!!!
Recipe:
Paper ~ AC patterned paper "metropolitan", SU in colors
Stamps ~ Ali Edwards technique tuesday "bits & pieces"
Ink ~ black ink
Accessories ~ adhesive, paper trimmer, curly label punch

Creative Corner...Play House
This weekend my DH had the great idea of turning an old, large box we had lying around...into a play house for Little Bit! He cut a door, some windows and a sky light. He even used some old paint we had to spruce it up even more! I made a sign for over the door with some scrap cardstock and leftover chipboard letters. There is a window on the side that I dressed up with some ribbon! Inside we put down a blanket for her carpet, princess chair for a place to sit along with a few books and toys. She loves using her play keys to "unlock" the door and go in and out of her new house!

Creative Corner...Card Challenge
I created this card for Copic Creations 6th challenge...Copic marker coloring techniques for Wood. The boat on this Riley image was the closest thing I had to wood...so I did my best with the coloring. Since most everything was brown, I found this cardstock and chose to accent with turquoise color.
Recipe:
Paper ~ white, choc chip, SU dp
Stamps ~ fishing riley {hannah stamps}, amuse sentiment
Ink ~ black ink, copics
Accessories ~ ribbon

Sister visit...
As you might have noticed I haven't posted in a while. My sister spent the week with us, so we were off having some great family time. Needless to say I wasn't online much. We went on some fun outings, played lots of games, and had good quality time together. Little Bit got up this morning looking for her auntie...too cute!
