Congrats Card... Peachy Keen Style!

I have been so consumed with making Christmas Cards it was nice to take a break and make something else! I needed to make a congrats card and enjoyed picking fun colors!

I had no idea that I could cut felt and fabric with my Cuttlebug Die Cuts in my Sizzix machine! I made a fabric flower using my scallop circle die cuts!

Paper is from KI Fancy Free Stack

I punched little butterflies with my Fiskars Punch

Flower is from Walk in my Garden

Button, craft string, liquid pearls

Now if you are interested in reading what else I did this weekend....

We hit the road and decided to go camping up in the Superstition Mountains! It was an adventure just getting the four of us out of the house! We left and had to turn around two times! Once for the tarp and then for the tent!

Once we settled in our whole trip was filled with fun and laughter!

First off we camped in a very isolated area so we were alone and it was super quiet. Also we live in Arizona so we are surrounded by cactus and other pointy and strange trees! While we were walking out of the corner of my eye I see large long legs... nothing else! So I calmly yell to my Husband who is much closer to it than I am... I see a LARGE set of legs!! Ha! It turned out to be a wild cow! Three of them! Just wandering thru the terrain! I thought this was very odd! Why are there cows in the middle of no-where??

 This was what we saw from our campsite (The Lost Dutchman Gold Mine)

 Real SMores!

We had a huge campfire, yummy smores and then we turned in for the night. It is super creepy to be laying out in the dark and hear NOTHING!! It was so quiet it was scary! A few hours in we hear the scariest, loudest spookiest Howling of a Wild Coyote Pack! I was seriously having a heart attack! The only thing I could think about was how we are in a plastic tent! We are never going to make it! And I was even more worried when my very large dog started to whimper and tried to squeeze into my sleeping bag!

But Husband saved the day by going out there to make some loud noise and make the fire huge!

So we survived the night in the wilderness! I am glad to be home! Safe and sound with my Cricut!

It's Challenge Time over at Docerela Creations!
