COF: Summer in June!


Hi there!  It's time for another Crafters of Faith Challenge for the month of June! Yes, that's June and now it's July .... oopsie!!  I'm so far behind in crafting and getting anything done but I'm finally finished and posting!  I adore the theme that Liz gave us to work with!  But what's more, ** I LOVE SUMMER!! **  And Summer for us means spending as much time as a family as we can together and our traveling actually starts this weekend.  We started off the first week of (non-camp, non-class, free to do what we want) summer night as you might have seen on Facebook!  I took my dd13 (who is the biggest One Direction fan!) to the sold out concert in Ft. Lauderdale along with her sister, dd15  - oh my stars, she was one happy baby girl :)  And even if you aren't a fan, or don't know who they are (okay, I knew WHO they were, just hadn't heard more than like 3 of their songs, lol) I have to say, they are a JOYFUL bunch of talented young men.  They put on an amazing show and were like brothers, so enjoyable to watch.  (see photo below if you want to peek!)


But even in the busy-ness, one thing for certain is how much I adore the beach.  We spent a lot of time at the ocean and I'm truly blessed that we live so close to it and I've raised 4 water babies!  When I saw this image in Mo's shop, I just had to buy it - it reminded me so much of my son when he was little.  He would do something just like this - put the bucket on his head and wear it around like a helmet ;)   Liz's challenge for us is this:

Hi Ladies , Yeah its June and its time for some fun in the sun!  I would like us all to make a "Fun in the Sun " card or scrapbook page I would like to see a Sun, some summer toys, ( bike, beach ball, roller blades ect, these can be anywhere on the card your image doesn't have to be doing it )at least one thing on pop dots and something Blue . is that to much? have fun let your creative side take over and enjoy !!!!! Hugs, LizD

Well!  She didn't have to tell me twice to create a Fun in the Sun card! :)  Although I did miss the actually "sun" part - sorry!  I did get the beach, summer toys, color blue and the pop dot (under the flower) on there *smile!*
I just loved this challenge - thank you, Liz! 

Summer fun:  





And here's a peek at the 1D boys :)  




That's it for me today!  We'll be leaving in a few days but I have one more post to make before we head for the summer fun with the family!

Big hugs,
Bigger Blessings!

  12. This card just makes ya wanna pack up a picnic basket and swimwear and head towards the beach. How darling is that little guy??? The those cool, breezy colors.....!!! Love it, Kel!!

    Yes, I was thinking about your hubby while watching the final. I know I'm evil but Keke... so happy with the result. Italy deserved that 0-4!! That's what they get for beating my Germany. I'm still scratching my head how they got to the final playing like that?! That was an embarrassing game. Oh, ok.... once I saw some of the Italian players' tears after the game, I did feel bad.... just a little though. ;)
