Vacation photos

Hi everyone! Here are a few vacation pictures! Weather was awesome and I'm sad to be back home and at work!

 These are all taken in the North Cascade Mountain Range. The Mountain is Mt. Baker and the lake is Baker lake.

 The dogs cool off swimming from the 90 degree heat wave we were having!

 Elk grazing in the meadow.

The above picture is of Diablo lake. I decided to stick out my tongue at my DH because he just had to stop to take pictures in the heat. It was a lot cooler when the Jeep was in motion! 

Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks for the lift!

Hi everyone! Wowza, what a wonderful relaxing vacation we had. Saw so many cool critters along the way (see below) but mostly just chilled!

This card was made a while ago and I'm now just getting around to posting it.

Stamps and the dies are from Papertrey Ink.

I colored the balloon with Copic markers and then used the die to cut it out. I first cut a piece of acetate or "marker" and used that as a guide to make sure that I lined up the balloon die fairly closely with the stamped image.

The cloud die was used to emboss the blue cardstock. I just put the die on the cutting surface cut side down or on a piece of thin chipboard and then put the cardstock over the top of it and ran it through the CB.

Palette fresh snow used to stamp the clouds and it's also sponged around the edges of the card.

Below are a few of the pictures I was able to snap of the critters we saw last week.

Herd of Elk (7 bull's in the herd)

These were taken in the North Cascades of Washington State.
