GAVIN & COLE / byLORIdesigns New Release Blog Hop...

Hello! If you've come from Jayne's blog, not only have you been inspired by some gorgeousness, then you're in the right place, too! Today is NEW RELEASE day over at byLORIdesigns!!! YAYYYY!!!! If you've happened here by chance & would like to start at the beginning, please go to the byLORIdesigns shop!

I combined two Puddle Jumpers, Gavin and Cole for my card! I just loved Cole's sketboard and thought Gavin would look cute standing on one - lol! (The sentiment is by the Wax Fruit Company, Brother's Big and Small.)

You next stop is Angela! I'm sure you're in for a treat!!! Her cards are always fabulous!

Bye for now...

MOMMY's FAVORITE HEELS / ADFD New Release & PDCC #71...

Good morning! Here's a super cute new image from the A Day For Daisies release called, Mommy's Favorite Heels! I guess with the glitter, maybe her mommy's name is Dorothy?!? You can find the images here.

This beautiful hand dyed ribbon is from Sherry... also a DT at ADFD... IT'S GORGEOUS!!! Thank you so much Sherry!!! If you'd like to know how to get your hands on some, go visit her! She has so many beautiful colors available!

I was happy to play along with The Play Date Cafe with this card - YAY!

Bye for now....

BUSY BEE / WFCo New Release...

Happy Wednesday! This image is new, called Busy Bee! It's warm and sunny outside today in Alabama, but if you're somewhere still snowed in, hopefully this little guy warms your heart a bit! I know it's hard to tell from the pic, but he even has a little glitter on his wings! The sentiment is also from the Wax Fruit Company, called Encouraging Words.

I'm excited, I just book a campground for next month for the first ever Gordon family camping trip! Jeff and I went camping A LOT before the kids were born, as a matter of fact, I went camping a month before Alex was born - lol! He's about 30 months old now & Maisie is 14 months old, so we thought this might be a great time to go! YAY! We're camping off the Gulf of Mexico, should be a blast!

I missed last month's I {heart} Sketches deadline for the Sketch for You to Try, but I decided to use it anyway since it was so darn cute! Here are a few other challenges I am participating in...

INCHWORM / Wax Fruit Co. Release, CQC #74 & SSSC #106...

Another new image today... Inchworm! Not very girl~y is it? I made this boyish card with colors from this week's colourQ!

I have always love creepy crawly little critters, so over the weekend I had a need to draw one!

I decided to play with Karen's sketch for this card.... Karen, I love your sketches, week after week.... you're so awesome! She has a very "CASE"able card on her post today, too, which I think I'll need to use soon...

Bye for now...
