Our weekend

I wanted to post some pictures from this past weekend -- On Saturday M and the kids worked on the play ground that they are building in the back yard. Things are coming right along. I am hopeful that they get it finished this weekend. Then we can work on landscaping my backyard around the sand box and play area. Hooray!


Then on Sunday, J and I made chocolate chip coconut cookies. He really wanted cookies and I wasn't feeling amazing and was skipping church and the two combined into making cookies for him. You know what? They did actually make me feel a bit better -- soon this cold will go away. *sniff sniff* Anyway, I let J hold the mixer all by himself (against my better judgment) and took a couple pictures, I had to share my favorite. We had so much fun together!

She's a cutie - I've been thinking about getting some of these stamps but I have to make sure I get some ink to all my others before I hit another stamp line.

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus). Stamps : For the Soul (Hanna Stamps), "God Bless" sentiment by American Art Stamp Paper: Lily Kate - Basic Grey, Neenah Solar White, SU vellum card stock, SU Whisper White Ink : Onyx Black Versafine Accessories : Sheer 5/8th Inch organdy ribbon, Nestabilities (Circle and scalloped circle), sewing machine, white thread, circle of plastic canvas, copic markers, white brads, paper piercing
