To My Best Peep & our weekend project pics

Hey! I didn't post anything over the weekend. That felt really weird. But I'm back today with a new card I made and some progress photos of our home improvement project we started over the weekend.  First I'll show you my card....



Sketch from Sketch Saturday: (I turned it over)



  • My Craft Time "To My Favorite Peep"
  • Corner rounder punch
  • Martha Stewart Butterfly punch
  • Stampin' Up Dimensionals for wings and rhinestone on butterfly
  • Chick, egg, and butterfly all inked around the edges

I love how it came together! Check out all Miss Kate Cuttables files. She has daily freebies, collections, bundles, and so many cut files are just 50 cents! WOW!

Submitted:
Sketch Saturday - sketch
613 Avenue - anything goes with optional twist birds or feathers
Love to Create - BINGO: pink, die cut, ribbon
Crafting by Design - use a ribbon
Little Red Wagon - use as many colors as you can
Moving Along with the Times - photo inspiration - used eggs as inspiration from photo


IN OTHER NEWS:

We had a BIG weekend that started early on Friday with Tom being off. I love it when he's off!

We've been wanting to build a deck in the backyard ever since we tore down the old kitchen and re-arranged our floor plan.  The pictures I'm about to show you are still a work in progress, but hopefully if the weather is good this weekend, we can get the roof on and lights up.

Looking good!

WOW! Tom had to stop because of rain before finishing getting the roof up, but hopefully next weekend the weather will cooperate.

Thanks for stopping by today!
