Calming photo and a soothing video ;)

This is a photo from when Ashley and I went to the clinic last week.
She took this with her IPhone. I am just shocked how well this phone takes photos.....I guess I should correct myself and say I am amazed on how awesome Ashley takes photos no matter what she uses.
See the Sleeping Giant in the distance.

I thought I would share with you a video I did on the cards that I had made.
If you are a follower on my blog, you have probably seen these all, but if you want to hear my soothing voice, then click on the video, teehee.

Onto My Day:
Nothing to exciting, I worked all day today.
I watched a bit of YouTube while I was working.
Funny thing was, I saw a video on the Spice Girls, then that video turned into another one, then another one, then before I knew it I spent an hour (while I was also working) watching the making of the Spice Girls, lol.
How does that happen......oh don't pretend this hasn't happened to you before, lol.

Hope you all had a creative Tuesday :)

Grow where your potted :)

This is the last card to share that I had made on my girls getaway.
I sure dragged them out didn't I, teehee.
I used this image from the gorjuss girls line....isn't she adorable :)
My friend Phillane gave this stamp to me, thanks Pea :)
I think this is one of my favourite cards.

I used my Copics to colour her up.
I paper pieced her dress. As you can see, I also shade the paper piecing I do. It gives the image a bit more dimension.
I also drew in the grass., and added some clouds in the background with some distress ink.

The inside of this card.
As always I used left over papers and a recipe/index card.
I edged the papers with black distress ink.

Onto My Day:
I can't believe that October is already here.
So with a new month also comes month end. I was working all day today.

Tonight (while I was working) Wayne and I have been watching Dexter. I really like this show. When I first heard about it, I had no desire to watch it. But after watching a few shows, we are hooked on it.
It is so not what I thought it was.
We are also excited that Bones and Castle have started up again. We just hope that Bones is better then last year, and it doesn't focus so much on baby stuff. Actually Heather stopped watching Bones last season because of that.

Hope you all had a creative Monday :)

Thank you English River Inn

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend :)
I made this card for Lois and Bruce, the owners of the motel. They let me use their Internet when we are at the cottage. So I made them this Thank you card.
I also took a cute picture of the two of them, but I had to promise not to put it on the net.

I used this cute C.C. Designs image.With a separate stamp of the brick wall.
I finally used my cloud punch. I forgot my distress inks at home, so I just edged the clouds with the chisel edge of my Copic marker.

I coloured both the cute girl and the brick wall with my Copic markers.
I fussy cut out both images, adhered the wall flat to the card, then popped up the girl with foam tape.
I also popped up the clouds with foam tape.

The inside of the card.
I stamped this sweet birdie on the recipe/index card.

Onto My Day:
Wayne and I spent the day outside.
It was a beautiful day today. We put away the outside lawn furniture and packed up the trampoline.
Cut the lawn.
Then we went to Canadian Tire...hubby's favourite store :)
We also took a nice drive around town.
Drove to Hillcrest park and enjoyed the view of the Sleeping Giant. 

Stopped by the Marina to check out how many boats were still out, and checked out another view of the Sleeping Giant :)

We checked out the water park, also at the Marina. As nice as today was, I see it wasn't nice enough for the little ones to go swimming, teehee.
Then later after all the work was done, Wayne and I went out for supper :)

I hope you had a creative enjoyable Sunday :)

Closed for the Season

Well today was our last day at the cottage for the season :(
We turned off the water and winterized the cottage.
Hard to believe that summer is over.
Especially when we had weather like we did. It was beautiful today.
But hunting season starts next Saturday, and hubby goes hunting with his dad every weekend from now until its over.

The birds were quite happy with us.
When we cleaned out the fridge/freezer, we threw the bread and buns out to them.
This is a whiskey jack, can't tell from my terrible photo though.
We also had blue jays come and nab the bread.

 But the chickadees and nuthatches loved the seeds.
I'll tell you these birds don't sit long enough to get their photos taken.

Last night we had a beautiful full moon.
There were rings around it, but then again my camera didn't pick them up.
The moon lit up the sky.

Onto My Day:
Most of the day consisted of cleaning the cottage and packing and putting away the boat, kayaks and outdoor items.
Wayne hooked up his snowplow to the truck as we aren't sure when we will be coming back up.
On the way home the truck overheated. We had to pull over on the side of the highway. Thought we might have to go back to camp and drop it off until the weather got cooler to drive with the plow on.
But Wayne just turned off the A/C and it was fine. But then again, who drives with a snowplow on their vehicle in September, lol.

Wayne was going to take me out for supper tonight, but he got a major nose bleed, and it took a while to stop. So hopefully we will go tomorrow.
He has been fine for the rest of the evening.

The girls were all excited for me to play a video game called Slender. I knew it was going to be scary, if they were that eager to watch me play it.
I had to collect notes and not stop as someone is following you. Well they never told me he was following me, just not to stop.
Well when I turned around and saw this white faces figure, I screamed... just like a silly girl in the horror movies....yup they laughed and fully enjoyed it.

I hope you all had a creative Saturday :)

Tarnished Beauty

On our way to camp we drive down the Trans Canada Highway.
It is a beautiful drive.
The highway is surrounded by forests.
We drive past many beautiful lakes and rivers.















 We see lots of different animals along our travels.
It isn't surprising to see deer, moose and even a bear or two on our journeys back and forth.
It is a stunning country I live in.

Sadly there is also litter, not a lot, but still it tarnishes the land and makes me sad.
But what makes me angry is seeing the bottles filled with urine that litter the sides of the highway.
You may wonder bottles of urine?!?
Yes sadly the transport truck drivers can't take the few minutes to pull over and piss on the side of the highway. They pee in empty bottles and then toss them out their windows.
I apologize if if you are one of the respectful drivers that pull over, if you are then I thank you for being respectful of our beautiful country.
If you are one of the piss tossers, please pull over. I would rather see your tallywacker then your urine filled bottles.

Onto My Day:
Wayne and I enjoyed out lunch around the campfire.
Last one of the year.
We are closing up and everything (so far) is going smoothly :)
















Is this a moth or a butterfly.
I am sure it is a moth, but it sure is pretty.
















I hope you all had a creative Friday :)
I did, I made a thank you card today, and a card for a friend last night. :)

I love my Red Washer and Dryer

Ohh the beauty of Red.
I received my new washer and dryer, I am so happy.
The only problem is, the pedestal for the dryer didn't come in.
But that hasn't stopped me from doing about 8 loads of laundry.
I love it, this thing can do such huge loads.
I am having so much fun I ran out of laundry to do, lol.
Is that sad or what?!?
Now just to fold and put away....that I don't like to much.
Mind you I love to fold towels, I think that is from working in the hospitals laundry as a teen.

Onto My Day:
Hubby and I are heading to the cottage to close it up totally for the season.
It is suppose to be a beautiful weekend, so hopefully we don't have to do it in the rain, like every other year.
As sad as it is going to be, I am kind of looking forward to hibernating for the winter and snuggling in.

Hope you had a creative Thursday :)
I wasn't creative, but I sure did enjoy doing laundry today...I wonder how long it will last, lol.
Well, its better then hanging the laundry on the line all summer ;)

Last Project for Redonkulous Designs

It is with a heavy heart that I have to say good-bye to my Design Team position at Redonkulous Designs.
My term is up...I can't believe it has been 6 months, wow, time really does fly.
So without further ado, here is my card.
I used the papers from Authentique "Loyal".

 For the image I used "Baby Girl Hugs"
Isn't she so cute :)   I have coloured her up before, using my Stampin' Up markers, this time I used my Copics.
I paper pieced her dress.  Yes she is a digital image, and yes you can still paper piece your digital images :)

And lastly, the inside of my card.

Now with this being the last of my Redonkulous Design Team cards I thought I would go down the creative memory lane and show all the cards I have done.

Wow, there have been quite a few and I had fun making every one of them.
Now go and check out all the girls from the design team and leave them some love :)
Kim
Sharon
Kate

And the designer of all these fabulous images Sheryl.http://redonkulousdesigns.blogspot.ca/

Thank you so much.

Hope you all have a creative Wednesday :)
