Second Time to Utah!



We were just in Utah this past April for Sam and Rebecca's wedding. But with big families come MANY weddings!
My sisters oldest, Stephanie got married in the Manti Temple, in Manti, utah. It was completely gorgeous. The only stinky thing was that Ki could not come this time because of work.
Our trip was long, and at times hard, but it was fun in the end.
We started off by flying out of Austin since the tickets were cheaper, so even though our flight wasn't until Wednesday, we left for Austin on Sunday so we could hang out with our awesome friend Summer and her little girl Grace with their family.
Austin has an Archivers and I let Rae pick out a sticker.

We got to go swimming!


Found Rae's first face freckle!

She sleeps like a nut!

2 Cards and 2 blogs

Hey all, sorry I missed last week, but life gets busy, especially since there was a holiday. That means Daddy was home and we got to party!

So like I have been doing the last couple of weeks, I participated in the CAS-ual Friday  challenge. Of coarse with the week being so crazy, I never got a chance to actually upload the pictures to my computer.
Here is the card from last week.
The challenge was to use 2 circles:


 I made this card for a very sweet friend that had to have surgery this past week. I left the inside empty and just put a post it note inside with my note that I wrote her in case she wanted to use that card again.

This week's challenge is to use text.
But before I read this weeks challenge, I was over at KWernerdesign blog and saw that she used part of her office as inspiration for a card layout! How brilliant is that?! Now everywhere I go I see card and page layouts, I LOVE it!! (=
So here is a part of my incredibly messy office...  (Sorry it's so dark)


I decided to use the dresser (far right), and the the three columns of paper shelving. There is also a pants hanger with ribbon hanging from it, and underneath it is more paper, (it's a problem). (=
So here is the card:


Hope you can see the resemblance...






I also added the texting for the CAS-ual Friday challenge to the base of the card.

I  have to add these next pictures because they are too cute.





My girlies love to scrapbook with me! They also made cards for our friend. They have such big hearts! (=



Supplies:  CTMH stamps, K&Company paper pack by Carolin Gavin, Art Philosophy cartridge by CTMH,  brown satin ribbon, Prima flowers.
