Creative Wednesday Challenge #1

I like how my mom runs a challenge on her blog, so I thought I would like to run on mine. Each Wednesday, I'll do my best to post a new challenge. All you have to do is leave a comment with a link to your blog post. This week I chose Nature! You can use anything common with nature. Have fun!!

I used a bird from a Stampin' Up set and the flowers are from CTMH.

My First Challenge Entry at Simon Says Stamp!

This week over at Simon Says Stamp, it's a distressing challenge! I used one of mom's stamps and stamped it with distressing ink and then I tore paper for more distressing on my card.

Beach Theme Card

Over on mommy's blog, Creations By KW, there's a new Monday challenge and we had to do a beach theme! Last night I made this card. It's a little one, mom showed me how to make a little 3x card. Cute huh? Come on over and play!

Christmas In July Challenge

Hi!! I hope everyone's dry...mom keeps saying we might need to build an ark! Hahaha! So, this is my first card entered in a challenge. It's mom's challenge over at Creations By KW. Last week's was Christmas In July. I used mommy's House Mouse stamp and Xmas paper. If you would like to play along, mommy posts a new challenge every Monday morning!

My Rock Star Side :)

This is me just being silly. I used to have really long hair and it was all curls. I cried every time mommy brushed it and it was hard on both of us. When we went on our first Florida trip in 2005, I decided to take it off at my shoulders and loved it. This is from a few weeks ago. I went a little shorter and LOVE it! It's so easy and SO much fun! Mom and I both have crazy curls, so this is much easier. I was being a rockstar with my "Lips" game and of course, mom had the camera and of course, I had to pose...LOL! One day, I'll grow my hair long again, but for now, this is just much easier for all of us and I LOVE it!

My First Time Embossing

I wanted to share my first embossed cards with you. Mommy showed me how at Christmas time. It's alot of fun! You use a special pad and then you add embossing powder over top and then dry it with this heat gun. But don't get too close to the end of it or let it blow on you, it's VERY hot! Then when it was done, I wanted to color it in. So here's my first to embossed projects. I had alot of fun making them!

For A Friend...

Mommy's writing my post today for me as this is a very special card...

A friend of our family was standing in her kitchen, about 3 mths ago, and she had a stroke. It's been over 3 mths now and about 2 weeks ago, Joyce was moved into a nursing home. She has always loved nature and everything to do with it. I tell you, those birds over there won't know what's happened unless her husband is able to keep up with everything. They were always on top of the many bird feeders they have. Unfortunately, the stroke has left Joyce unable to talk and move. Very sad. So Ashleigh thought it would be very nice to make her a card and she did this one all by herself. She asked me for paper and that was about it. I feel this is one of the best cards she has done and she did an amazing job. I'm sure Joyce will love it.

Some more animal stuff!

Above is a story I wrote and a picture of daddy's dogs when he lived at home and then these are some animals I colored!

Pets!

My favourite thing to do is play with my pets. I love them all. Mommy and daddy really love animals too, so Andrew and I have had all kinds of different pets! We have lizards, fish, bunny, 2 cats, 2 dogs, parrot, budgie, salamanders...alot! It's hard to keep up and sometimes, ok, more than that, mommy finds it hard to keep up and has to remind us that we have to help feed everyone!! The picture of me and my cats is from 2 yrs ago. So, I was about 7, right before I decided I wanted my hair cut short when we went to Florida! I love to put my kitties in dress up clothes and then I walk them around in my stroller and dolly stuff. I think they like it, mommy and daddy think they just do it to keep me happy..hahaha!

The other side is Sadie, she was my mommy and daddy's dog when mommy was pregnant with me. She died before I was born, but I've heard LOTS of stories about her! She was funny and very loving. I wish I had known her!

School and Family

This was my first day back to school, I was going into Gr 1 and the other side is some family. My mom, her dog Sadie and my uncle Duane when they first moved into our house, so mommy was about 21 there, then another picture of my Uncle Duane and a picture of my on my 3rd birthday with my favourite cat, Patches!

Party and Overnight!

This layout is of Andrew's 11th birthday party..that's my grandpa, papa and grandma in our backyard and the other one, I was about 2 I think and nanny and papa took Andrew and I for an overnight in a hotel!! We had SOOOO much fun!!

Piggies and Birdies!

These layouts are about animals! My grandma and grandpa live in the country and their neighbour has 2 pot bellied pigs. They always come to visit and I LOVE them! Grandma and Grandpa like them to because they eat the dandelions. They like food scraps too!! OINK OINK!!

The other one is my cousin Hayden and my baby budgie, Tito. We could hold Tito and everything. He was just a baby and he got sick and died in mommy's hand when I was at school. I miss him alot, but he has a special place in our back garden now. Miss you Tito!

Swimming and Easter!

Every year when mommy and daddy open our pool, my brother Andrew and I can't wait to jump in! Everyone says we're crazy because it's SOOOOOO cold, but it's fun and now it's a tradition!!

The other page is Easter, I don't know what year, I think maybe 2-3 years ago, have to ask mom and the then me and my brother. I think I was about 3-4 years old there. Have to ask mom!

Mommy and Daddy

This layout is of mommy and my new cousin, Jayla. She's a year and a half now, and the other side is of mommy and daddy in our backyard on mommy's birthday 2 years ago.

Some Of My Scrapbook Pages!

I love to make cards, but I also love to scrapbook too. Mommy has been scrapbooking for yrs and she's shown me how. For Christmas, I got my own scrapbook kit and punches! I was SO excited! Mommy helped me take some pictures of my layouts, so I'll show them to you over the next few days.

This layour is of me and my baby bunny. Bunzie's about 4 now, but he's so cute! We called him Princess till he got older and daddy said...Ashleigh? Your princess is a prince! Hehehe! He loved to give kisses and still does!

I'm also busy with summer holidays, so mommy has to help me keep up in here! Have fun!

Wishing You Well

Another stamp that mommy colored and I borrowed..hehehe! I know she doesn't mind. I always make sure that I ask her first. I added some more brads to this one. I like that mommy shares all her stuff! I got a whole bunch of stuff for Christmas too. I love to scrapbook and make cards!

Thank You!

I used one of mommy's stamps and then added it to my card! I added some brads and even a kitty. I hope you can see it. It's there under the mouse.

Thank you for looking!

Felix KETTO Card - Happy Birthday Patches!

Today is Patches birthday. She's my cat and she's 5 today! I made this for her. It's her boyfriend..hahaha! When she was born, we were having a bonfire for UNcle's birthday and mommy went to check on Cutie (the mom cat) and she had another kitten and she was too tired to deal with it, so mommy had to open the sac and baby Patch was born! We were attached at the hip from then on! We gave Cutie to a home with no dogs and kids and she's like a princess there now. She didn't like it here very much, too busy for her.

Happy Birthday Patches! I love you!

Snowbunnybella Card

Happy birthday to my uncle duane today! I made this card using all the scraps mom and I collect. We have a folder FULL of them. Nanny said we should always keep them because you never know when you can use them. I've used alot! This stamp is from Stamping Bella to!

Felix KETTO Card

I think my mom's addicted to Stamping Bella, hahaha, but this one is mine. Mommy bought it for me. I have the other one that matches it to. I want to buy something to put all my cards in and then I can get one when I need one for my friends. I borrowed mom's folder to put them in for now. My coloring is even getting better! Daddy said he loves my cards. Maybe I'll give this one to him.

Solly TUDE - Another Card For Mom!

Good morning! This is another card I made for my mom. I love to surprise her. I used her new Stamping Bella stamp called sollytude. She's cute and I love her balloons. I wrote a nice note in it for mom. I love my mommy!
