Precious Memories

Happy Birthday to my dear friend, Leandra!!

Hey everyone!

Do you have precious memories of your first visit to the carnival or circus?

I love Natalie's clowns!

They are so sweet and adorable.

They make me smile.

Happy Carnival!

I used Clown Jordy for today's card.

Isn't Jordy adorable?

She Sells Sea Shells by the Sea Shore

Hello, everyone!

Did you have a wonderful weekend?

Mine was a very long one... but it's finally over and it's a new week!

What do you have planned this summer?

Any trips to the beach?

You saw this release last week...

Splash of FUN!

I love it!

I especially love Candace and the coral reef image... so much so that I had to use it again this week.

You'll see me use the other images for Thursday's Sketch Challenge. ;)

A BIG thank you to Phyllis Long (SparklePlenty1000) over on SCS.

She was kind to leave me a wonderful comment on one of my cards in my gallery and invited me to join in on the fun over at Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge.

I found this sketch for the week and had to use it for this card!

The sea shells are so much fun!

"She sells sea shells by the sea shore"... did I get that right? :)

Here's the sketch that inspired this:

Chi Chi Memories 4th of July - Up Up and AWAY!

Hi everyone!

How's the weather?

We've been SUNNY for a few days now.

Too sunny apparently.

I took the boys to the pool yesterday and I slathered sunscreen on them and on me BUT I forgot to do my back. Oh, yes... it's bad. Really bad. On the flip side, it's taken my mind off of the pain on my back and head from taking a tumble in the shower on Saturday night. I've got bruises up and down my arms, legs, and back. :(

So enough about me! Let's catch up on things over at Chi Chi Memories!

Here's the 4th of July digi stamp set:

Here's the 4th of July digi patterned paper!

Interested in a little name game?

Take a look at my card for this week:

See that cute little bear?

He needs a name!

Personally, I like "Little" or "Little Bear" but you might have a better name for him!

Here's what Natalie has to say:

I haven't made up a name for this cute little bear, but let me tell you a little bit about this little guy. Little bear is a shy boy. He's always sitting around with his friends but never says a word or have too much of reaction of anything. Sometimes others thought he's just a doll sitting around. Although little bear doesn't show much of emotions on his face, he's always a happy boy. He loves adventures and loves his friends to bring him along when they travel.

So that's a little intro of little bear. I would love to give him a name but I'm very bad with name. So please help me out here? Suggest a name to me on the comment section HERE. I really hope he has a name. If not we'll have to just call him little bear.... which is pretty cute actually.. lol

Okie dokie!

If you have a name in mind for this little guy, hop on over to Chi Chi Memories.

Post your suggestion HERE!

Come back on Thursday for the next sketch challenge from Chi Chi Memories!
