SnS June ~ Midnight Madness Kit

What a beautiful and fun kit to work with! I used almost every scrap of ribbon in this kit! You can get the kit at the SNS Store right HERE

My First Project is a 12 x 12 Layout:

I created it for Guest Designer Corry's June Challenge - Cuttin' It! What a fun challenge, as I don't normally cut out pieces of Patterned Paper. All the Challenges are Great at SNS! You can check them all out HERE.

In My {Angel} LO I used from the SnS June ~ Midnight Madness Kit Black - White Dot Organza - # 0400 & White - White Dots Organza - #0177. So easy to work with:) Other products Used: Red Heart Scalloped PP by Reminisce, IOD "Caliope" by Prima Marketing, Queen & Co Heart Felt Fusion, Stash Black PP, Digital Credit {Love} to Rhonna Farrer.

For my second project I altered photo clips I found on clearance. I thought they were cute, but a little plain. So I added some Black - White Dot Organza - # 0400 & White - White Dots Organza - #0177 to the "stems". Then came some Prima Sprites 2 Flowers from our Prima Sprites 2 Swap. Added some stash brads and rhinestones and called it done. Except it needed to hold something just as funky. My Hybrid Photo (credits to Rhonna Farrer) and stash heart stickers, brads and Prima Flowers - Essentials 4 Royalty completes the look. LOL BTW I used my laminate/magnet cartridge for the xyron to laminate the photo. When I'm done with this display, it'll become a magnet for my fridge. (A big one! LOL)

My Last project is an altered photo album. From the SnS June ~ Midnight Madness Kit, I used EVERYTHING!! It was awesome! Black - White Dot Grosgrain - #0403, Black - White Dots Grosgrain - #0405, Black - White Swiss Dot Grosgrain - #0401, White - Black Dot Grosgrain - #0104, White - Black Dot Grosgrain - #0404, White - Black Dots Grosgrain - #0406, White - Black Swiss Dot Grosgrain - #0402, Black - White Dot Organza - # 0400 & White - White Dots Organza - #0177. The flowers are from the Prima Sprites 2 Swap. I decided to "stitch" my White - White Dots Organza - #0177 Ribbon to the Heart Felt fusion. Also used Stash vellum quote, stash flower.

Relay for Life

So on Friday June 20th I participated in Relay For Life, in Windsor, ON. I was on my Sister's Team. We were known as "the Mighty G's Cheering for a Cure". I was fortunate enough to raise $450.75 in pledges through my co-workers and customers. Considering that Windsor's economy is shit right now, I feel amazed and so blessed : ) I believe Missy said we raised close to or just over $3000 as a team. I worked 6AM to 2PM on Friday, then went to my Mom's to shower and tried to nap (Buddy thought I should be licked to sleep), so that did not happen! LOL Mom helped me by sewing the doggy's bandanna's, I decorated them, then off to the KOA I went. I was there until 330AM or so, after the thunderstorm hit, I had had enough. I was also up over 24 hours at that time. Can you believe I had to WAIT at customs for almost 45 mins? I was home just after 5AM, a full 24hrs since I left for work. It was a fun time, love the atmosphere, the lighting ceremony, and the time with family & friends. Here are a few photos from Friday night.

Fathers Day Photos

For Fathers Day we went and spent a couple of hours at Wheatley Provincial Park.  They have a beach there that dogs are allowed to go on. Fun Times for all, though I'd say Jack & Buddy enjoyed it the most. For Max, it was his first time actually in the water, trying to swim. Funny Stuff! Good thing I had the leash on him.



Thats Jack Doing what he loves best - Retrieving:)







Trying to coax Max in the water. What a stubborn boy he can be:)



Finally got him to play! And the last picture is when he was "free" lol
