Avery Elle Challenge

 Today I'm joining Avery Elle's Challenge. We were to come up with a card based on this sketch.

Here is my take on the sketch.

The stamp I used Happy Camper. I first stamped the mountains on some masking paper. After placing the mountains the way I wanted them, used distress and hero shadow inks to blend the sky. I then colored the mountains with Copics. I then used Simon Says Stamps banner die and stamped the sentiment on it. For a finishing touch, I added dash lines, cropped the edges and added glitter to the tops of the mountains.

Here's a close up! :)

Personal Post :)

Hi! I never do personal posts so I figured it's time for one. :) I just wanted to share a few pictures with you of our time here in San Diego so far. Ya know, my husband and I never wanted to move here in the beginning but with the Navy, you don't get a choice. We're making the best out of it.

This is me and my husband, Michael. We took a trip to Julian and had a mini photo shoot in the apple orchard!

I think this one is by far my favorite. :)

Oh, and I'm in love with this one as well! He's so handsome!!

Here's me on the cliffs in Point Loma!

Here are a couple of photos of our babies! This is of Brody. 

This beautiful girl is Bree!

These pups and my husband keep me sane. Oh--and card making! I am so excited though for our trip coming up towards the end of November. We're going back to the PNW. Ahh--I can't wait!

We would always take our quads to Tahuya and go mudding! Gorgeous!

This was at Mount Rainier!

This adorable chipmunk was at Hurricane Ridge in Port Angeles during July.

This was at Hurricane Ridge as well in November!

Those are just a few pictures I put up--I'm getting excited for our visit already!

Well thanks for stopping by and looking at all my photos and me reminiscing on the past! :)

Relaxing Sunday!

Hey Y'all! It's a gorgeous day here in San Diego! I had to get caught up on a card for the Sweet Blog tomorrow and here's what I came up with! :)

I also joined the Neat and Tangle Challenge today. Of course I made a Halloween card. I'm really in the Halloween spirit and I'm kinda bummed I have to work that day. Oh well... At least I can enjoy all of my decorations and card making until then! :)

I'm also entering the Halloween card into Simon Says Challenge! Thanks for stopping by!

Here's my last tag for the Blog Hop!

I love this tag! So classic and simple! I'm also entering this into CASology's Country Challenge this week! I guess I'm from the country and there's pinecones there--maybe that's the connection in my head! :)

Here's all the tags:

Thanks so much for stopping by today! :)

Second Tag for Blog Hop:

For this card, I stamped a white card base and then added vellum over the top. I'm glad I did. It softened it so much! :)
