So I am still working away on my August Photo Challenge..but my SD card became corrupted over the weekend and all…my…photos…LOST! I’m trying to run recovery on them, but so far: no dice:(But I’ll keep working away..I have so many memories in those photos I took..I really hope they aren’t gone for good!
BUT, without further hesitation..here are Days 5,6 & 7:
Day 5, Someone I Love was easy..my fiance!! I took this photo this past weekend {one of only a few that survived} in a wild sunflower field…my personal heaven 😉
Day 6: Childhood Memory

Childhood Memory = Ladybugs! I would spend hours as a child collecting this sweet little insects..wanting to have my very own ladybug as a pet {unfortunately they never did live long enough}
Day 7: Something New


Something New: My Vintage Pearl necklace that Adam surprised me with!! *sigh*
Alright..I’m off to continue playing catch up..wish me luck!

Okay..so I cheated on Day 4 of the Photo Challenge {kind of}
We were challenged to photograph our favorite color and as much I as was excited about this, I just simply ran out of time. But I will make a point of shooting beautiful things that are yellow this weekend and adding it to this post. In the meantime, I did spend time collecting a few favorite images from Pinterest, heck I even made a collage for you!!
Oh yellow..you make me so happy! You remind me of summer, warmth, happiness, coziness, hazy evenings, sunshine & sunflowers and warm buttery baked goods. How could it not be my favorite color?
What’s yours?

Day 3 of the photo challenge – Clouds!
And for that: a view from the Prairies
Some may find it lonesome, some may find it eerie..but when I’m out in the middle of nowhere with my farmer, I find peace and stillness. I draw inspiration from the solitude of sitting and listening to my own thoughts and watching life unfold where it is completely undisturbed. Have you ever been able to sit for as long as you want and not hear anything but the wind or birds? Ever? I get to as often as I want to and I love it!
So often while living in the city I am frustrated by the motorcycles and the diesel trucks revving their engines as they carreen around the corner..the noise wrecks any solitude I may have had..but here, none of that exists!
Just clouds…floating across a big open space…{sigh}

Thanks to the lovely post by Oh So Lovely, Im going to participate in their photo a day challenge for the month of August! Since I brutally failed the attempt for this back in June..I’m determined to do it right for August! I have a crazy busy month ahead of me..so cross your fingers & stay with me!! August..here we go!

So…with that being said..Day 1 {selfie}:
My selfie focuses on two of my favorites: my blue eyes that I got from my daddio and my extreme summer freckles {I haven’t seen freckles like these since I was little!}

Okay so I have seen way too many product lines to love that came out of CHA Summer 2011..and anyone who has been in my scrap studio would know, I’m a teeny bit obsessed with collecting favorite lines {oops!} ..can you blame me though, I mean, really?

I have been patiently waiting for October Afternoon to reveal the full lines of their 3 new product lines..but alas, I’m still waiting:(So…with that being said, I will just post up the sneaks that they put on their blog and when the full lines are revealed, I’ll blog them as well 😉

First up: Farmhouse!

YES! There are 2 companies coming out with a “Farmhouse” line..and I love BOTH of them! The images, the designs, the colors..it makes my heart happy just looking at this!! I cannot WAIT to have these papers in my crafty little hands!!
Next up: Sidewalks

In the words of Carrie Bradshaw, “Hello, lover”..thats all I can muster for this line..its beautiful, its vintage, its colorful…and soon it will be mine, all mine 😉
Next up: Sasparilla

Alright, so my farmer does not own a horse (but are free to ride some whenever we choose), but I don’t care..I love this line! And since it is currently stampede week here in my City and we have gone all out decorating the place..the line will be the perfect addition to my Stampede layouts!!
Time to let you in on a little secret wish of mine: I want to someday be on the October Afternoon design team!! I love this company, their products are amazing and I am pretty sure I own every single item that they have ever created..they are simply amazing and it is on my list of hopes/dreams that someday I can join them in their amazing journey!!
And speaking of amazing journey…this photo came out on PC’s group page…
I had made it my goal to be in PC’s Holiday Cards and More special issue, and this year I did it! 5 of my designs will be showcased in this beauty..and I cannot wait til Sept 27th when it comes out!!
Thats all for me today folks…as always, Happy Crafting!!
