Good Things

This is my post on the
Dies R UR Us challenge blog today!

Can you believe we are half way through August?

Yikes, where has our summer gone..who took it...

I want it back!!

I think maybe being on these design teams

 makes me even more aware of how fast time goes by,

which brings me to this card for the new challenge

at Dies R Us which is "The Great Outdoors".

My hubby and I used to fish on a private lake he once owned

waaaaaay up north as we like to say..lol.

So my idea of the great outdoors is all about fishing!

I used a cute digital from Stitchy Bears to build my

outdoor scene....and nothing says outdoors like trees

and lots of them!

The Birch tree is a Cheery Lynn Designs die called

Birch Tree With Cute Critters.

(I didn't use the critters...)

The pine trees are Impression Obsession Fir Trees.

come in all 3 sizes shown.

I added a little red cardinal from the

 Impression Obsession Birch Trees set.

Can you guess what I cut him from?

A bit of the red velvet wreath ribbon you see at Christmas,

I think it really makes him "pop".

I finished off with a sentiment also from Stitchy Bears

that I printed in Microsoft Word, then used

Impression Obsession Clouds to cut it out!

I encourage you to join in the challenge with us,

there is a great prize to be won!
