JUGS 38 Color Challenge and my kiddos!

It's Saturday and I'm the hostess today for JUGS! It's a color challenge and I thought it would be perfect for an ice cream card.

We had a very busy Friday, but it was very fun. I took Ava girl to the movie Toy Story 3. It was a really good movie except she fell asleep half way through! She didn't take a nap so that is what happens! I enjoyed it though and so did my nephew and Ava's friend Andrea. My friend Nicole was a trooper.....8 months pregnant and sitting through a movie! I have to tattle on her a little though because she sent me to put extra butter on her popcorn! (She'll kill me for saying that!)

Here's Ava and Kale.....he is 7 months old already!

Here's my take on this week's sketch! Don't you just love it! I can't wait to send it to my friend that watched Kale today while we went to the movies! Hope everyone has a great weekend! We have a fun one planned!

Weekly Update from the Weimans!

Check out the shades too!

I got home from work on Tuesday and Dave was unloading some rock in our driveway. I was feeding Kale his supper and Ava had gone upstairs for something. She came back down in a different outfit....this time she had on jeans, a pink shirt, and her sparkly belt. I asked her what she was doing and she said she was going to go help Daddy. I couldn't pass up these pictures....isn't this too cute! The flip flops just make the outfit! Later she did come in to get socks so she could put on her pink cowgirl boots because her feet were getting dirty!

I was doing some long overdue weeding and Kale was hanging out with me so I had to get a picture of Kale too. He turned 7 months old on Sunday! He's such a big boy. He is sitting up, rolling all over and really wanting to start crawling!

Ava Girl was helping me make some baby shower invitations last night! We had a lot of fun and she is quite the little crafter!

Tonight we went to Brick and Rosie's house to go swimming and the kids had a ball as usual. Kale seems to really like the water and kicks his feet the entire time. Ava loves to squirt people. Everyone got quite wet, including Grandma and Papa too!

We visited for a while after swimming and got this great picture of Rosie, Ava, and their dog Ernie. They are all sitting on their hammock having a great time!

Jugs #37 - Let's Get Digi Technique Challenge

This week JUGS is being sponsored by Lauren Meader at My Time Made Easy. Pam is our hostess today and the challenge is to use a digital stamp. Lauren will be giving away a digital stamp set and some digi paper, so be sure to stop by JUGS for your chance to win!. I used the digi stamp set, Take Time for Petal Perfection. It's such a pretty set and very versatile. Here's the card I came up with. I'm planning on sending this to a friend who needs to take some time for herself to relax. Note the circle sentiment around the button!

Hope all of you have a wonderful weekend. We have a 1st birthday party to go to and a 35th birthday party to go to for my brother. He's only 15 months older than me so we joke that he is 2 years older than me for a few months of the year! See you all next Saturday if not before. I need to share some 6 months pictures of Kale and Ava's 4 year old pictures sometime! Thanks for stopping by!

Jugs #36 - Sketch Challenge and a Sponsor

Another busy week here! Seems to be the norm anymore. I'm just getting my card up....better late than never right! It's a very rainy dreary day here in the midwest. All of us are still in our jammies! We have a wonderful sketch from LISA and a sponsor too.....WinkWink. Be sure to check out their links. Stop over at JUGS to see all the details on the giveaway from WinkWinkInk and link up your creations for a chance to win! My post is short and sweet because there s LOTS to do today.

Have a great weekend!

Jugs #35 - Dry Embossing Challenge

Time again for another JUGS challenge and I'm the hosting this week! It was a wild card so I choose dry embossing for the challenge. Little did I know how crazy busy this week would be. My Dad officially retires Monday, but that is a holiday, so yesterday was his retirement party. He has been the county engineer for over 26 years and has worked at the county highway department for over 39 years. It was a very nice celebration and he got to see so many people that came out to congratulate him.

I've been working on a scrapbook of him from his childhood through now and spent many days working on this. Well.....I thought I had this all figured out and ordered the prints from Scrapping Simply late Wed night. She guarenteed that they would be here overnight, but something went wrong and the time the post office told her they would be here was incorrect. They were to arrive Friday morning.....just in time. I even called our local post office and had them hold our mail. When I went up yesterday morning to get them they weren't there and in fact they couldn't find the package anywhere. The postmaster finally tracked the package down and it was in St. Louis. We live about 2 1/2 hours from St. Louis and it was 10:00 in the morning and I had to be at this celebration by 11:30. I couldn't drive and get the package, but we figured something out and to make this long story shorter, we finally got the package via the Bee Line Express and one very nice worker at the St. Louis Post Office around 4:00 yesterday afternoon. It turned out great and I quickly put it together so he could still have it yesterday. Needless to say it was one busy and crazy week.

I did manage to get my card finished for JUGS. My Mom made the beautiful flower that is the focal point. It is actually a pin and she is sending this as a retirement card for a dear friend that is retiring from teaching next week. She is also my God Mother too. I embossed the background with a cuttlebug embossing folder. I love the bright summery colors. So give the challenge a try. Just link your project up on the JUGS blog .

Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday weekend. We don't have many big plans. We have a wedding reception to attend tonight and then I think we are sticking around close to home.....maybe some swimming at the neighbors, but other than that it will be pretty low key and that is the way we like things around here. Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday weekend!

Jugs 34 Template Challenge

It's Saturday.....what a week! It was another busy week around our house. I keep saying that they will slow down, but I'm starting to wonder. I did get a chance to make a template for this week's JUG's challenge. Dana is the host this week and Lauren with My Time Made Easy is sponsoring us! A friend of mine is expecting at the end of July and she is doing her baby room in this bedding, isn't it adorable. So I decided to make her a matching gift to give her when the baby arrives. For now I just filled it with baby items I had, but I'm hoping to make it a little more personalized when the time comes.
Isn't this bedding adorable! I can't wait to see the room when it is finished!
Here's a close up of my Trendy Toto template from My Time Made Easy.

I made a matching tag so she can use on her diaper bag too.

Hope that you all have a wonderful weekend. We have a fun one planned.

JUGS 33 - Color Challenge

It's time for JUGS Color Challenge. Lisa is the hostess this week and the color pallette is a fun one. It is Red, White, Blue and an optional Kraft. I chose to make a boy baby card. I've been VERY short on time lately.....planning Ethan's Rodeo and getting the details worked out on our house plans, plus all the other day to day stuff that is always there. We feel like we have been running around like crazy people lately. My stamps have been very neglected, but I did take the time this morning to work on a card for a few minutes before we had to head off to Dr. appointments and a graduation. (I'm writing this late Friday!) Our weekend is pretty busy, but I'm hoping to start on a book for my Dad. He is retiring from his position as the county engineer. He has worked there for over 39 years and has been county engineer for over 26. Pretty amazing! I have 2 weeks to get that accomplished.....always something to do!

Hope you enjoy all the gals creations this week. I was absent last week.....internet issues.

Have a great weekend. I'll be back to share new pics of my kiddos soon.....I've got some good ones!
