I'm back, did you all miss me?? I was away on Summer Vacation!

And guess what?? All my training since January paid off,  I reached my goal and hiked Humphrey's Peak! The highest peak in Arizona, Elevation: 12,637 feet. It took 12 hours!! It was awesome! 

 Humphrey's Peak


 
 Here I am at the saddle. 

It was a wonderful hike that we have trained for! We are super excited that we were able to summit and we are already planning our next adventure!

We spent 3 days in Flagstaff AZ then drove to California. We went to Sea World, Lego Land, Coronado Island, New Port Beach, and Balboa Island. Our trip was jammed packed!

Here was the view from our room:

 Here is me and some handsome Lego Man I met at LegoLand:

And here is my daughter getting eaten by a Lego Shark:

Here is  a Polar Bear from Sea World:

Glad to be home and getting settled back into our routine. I'm looking forward to catching up and visiting all my friends!

Get Well Soon! 3 Girl Jam Design Team Day!

Today is my day to design over at 3 Girl Jam!  I am featuring the Crinkle Ribbon Harvest Orange,  and Mistletoe! Have you used this amazing ribbon? This ribbon is a MUST have!! I love how versatile it is!  Can you believe I handmade this flower?

I love how this flower turned out! My Husband was in a "let's run a lot of errands today" mood, so I grabbed my crinkle ribbon some matching thread and a needle and while he drove us all around town I stitched along the bottom of the ribbon. I was then able to pull the thread which caused the ribbon to scrunch together, once I got home I pulled, shaped the hot glued my flower into place! I love that I was able to mix crinkle ribbon colors together from different bundles and have them fit together so perfectly!

The base of my card is 4X4.  I used my Sizzix Scallop Square to make the shape.

Lunch Bag Baby Mini Albums!

I have been making lots of these fun baby mini albums using paper lunch bags. I am able to use lots of my hoarded paper and my tons of embellishments! They are 5X5 in size.

Here are some pictures, I made a video but it was upside down! So I included a video of my girl version instead!
