Refreshing & Relaxing Summertime

Today I am a Guest Designer at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 Challenge 165.  I am so excited since I love their sketches and the sponsor is none other than Bugaboo (where I am on the DT), lol. So to promote an image that I already enjoy working with was wonderful so then let's add a sentiment from TLC, Create since I am on that DT too, hehe. The image I used is from the Picnic Ant Set 01.

Birthday filled to the brim with Happiness

Well, I am late again with my Catch the Bug post.  This is because my daughter came to spend some time with me since around my birthday we had to travel for a family funeral. So Saturday started a new challenge which is an Anything Goes since it's the beginning of the month.  I used an image from the new Christmas set, Gingerbread Wishes Set and a sentiment from TLC, Create.  I have quite a few birthdays just before the holidays so I thought this would be a perfect birthday card.  The 50% of Christmas sale is extended until August 5th so still time to grab this set.

The "Lion King" movie was great! My son wasn't able to come, but my daughter and her boyfriend did and we had a great weekend.

That's how I feel about my life....lol.  I had to repeat my sinus surgery and now my birthday has come around again.  Luckily, I feel like I can breathe better with the surgery and will be seeing the surgeon later on great birthday present, hehe. To have a scope shoved up my nose. Actually then I'm going to drive to spend the rest of the day with my children and parents who live about 100 miles away from me. Then we are traveling for a family funeral for the weekend. My kids are planning to come spend the weekend with me next week so we can go see Lion King which I am excited to see since they used to watch the animated movie when they were children, especially my daughter. I'm just blessed to be spending time with them and to have so many wonderful friends that I have on my blog. So.......after my long story. I am posting some birthday blog candy. So just leave me a comment and the kids and I will chose a winner next weekend.  So you have until midnight on Sunday August 4, 2019 central time.  Thanks and many hugs.  Lisa     7/25/19

Sunbonnet Beach

Today is Friday Freebie at Catch the Bug and it's this adorable Sunbonnet Beach.  When making my card, I wasn't sure if I wan't to make it a summer, birthday, or thinking of you card so I left the sentiment off and thought I would add it later.  I used a Prima flower as my sun.
