birthday lauren

Good morning everyone! I hope you had a fantastic weekend! It sure was beautiful here this weekend and is supposed to be 84 degrees today, too! Lovin' it!

For today's card I decided to pull out my Birthday Lauren from Paper Makeup Stamps. I am not much of a fairy kind of gal but I love this images...they are fun to color, just the perfect size for my comfort zone! I added lots of shimmer and sparkle to this card which was difficult to see in the first picture so I tried again which gave me a blurry picture but at least you can see some of the sparkly stuff.

Monday is always the Paper Makeup Challenge day and this weeks challenge is a very pretty watermelon and apple which is basically a pink/green combination. You can see it HERE. You don't have to use their stamps to play along so if you like the color combo...go for it!

Todd and I are going to climb the ridge this morning. That link I gave you doesn't really do the hike or the view justice. Since I'm a big baby it will probably take us about 45 minutes up the ridge and 25 minutes down but the sense of accomplishment and the view when up there are SO worth it!

With that...I'm off to eat a little something and get hydrated without drinking too much...no bathrooms at the top ya know!
