DSC#45 - Sunshine & Summertime

I'm late! Ugh! Story of my life this summer lol it's just been so hot that crafting even takes to much energy! The storms are coming through now and it has cooled off considerable. Off with the AC and open up those windows!! We have a new challenge at Digitally Sweet today! We're all about "Sunshine and Summertime" with Template Dreams. Myself and Ali both used the same kit, "water everywhere" so be sure to see the different takes on it. I took these photos of our daughter a couple weeks ago on the beach by our house and absolutely love them. She looks so grown up (she'll be 13 in Oct) and so beautiful. This was the night of her friends Gr 8 graduation and we took advantage of it and had her hair done. Just a moment to treasure as she moves into her last year of public school in Sept. Hard to believe. Both our kids will graduate in a year! One from Gr 8 and the other from Gr 12!



Come on over and join us - we're also having a DT Call there to!!

Brown Sugar #51 - Anything Goes
Aloha Friday Challenge #4 - Summer
Simply Create Too #42 - Anything But a Card
Stampin Dragon - On The Beach
CWLC #50 - Anything Goes
Through the Craftroom Door - Anything Goes
