2 Sketches 4 u !

2 Sketches 4 u.....sketch #31
Here's my take on Laura's sketch! I used the New Basic Grey, Making Memories, and Papertrey Ink stamps.

Just a quick simple card I made using Melissa Frances paper, K & Co embellishment, and a Melissa Rub-on.

On this card I used Paper Trey Polka dot paper and the bottom clear Polta dot is a bag I received with Gum Balls in it. I thought it would make a fun card.

Happy Tuesday!!!

Hi Everyone!!

Well, I'm back from vacation, and it's off to work I go, (Hi Ho-Hi Ho!!!). It will take a few days to get back into the groove of everyday life, but I'll be back in a couple of day's with a RAK celebrating my 1 year blog anniversary! But for now I will leave you with some pictures of my vacation to Trinidad, California, The Redwoods and Ocean!!

A Seal on a rock in the harbor at Trinidad. ( Isn't he cute? !!)

This tree was in the Redwoods, and I really liked the colors on the bottom of the stump....Very pretty!

Another tree with a cool colored stump.

These ferns were on a road on the way to the Redwood and its called Lost Man's Creek. These ferns everywhere

Before you go intothe redwoods you pass this opening where the Elk feed. The sun was facing me, so the pictures of his face aren't very good.

A little Birds nest at the Ranger station up in the eve's.

Just some pretty flowers along the road called "Star Flower's" I thought they were cool!!

I spotted these guys on a drive along the coast. The road is out of Trinidad, and it's called Scenic Drive.

Then to the south of Trinidad there are more Redwoods and I passed thru this town called Ridgecrest.

Ferndale is south of Trinidad and it's an adorable Victorian Village ! The houses are spectular...Here are a few!!

I hope everyone has had a wonderful summer so far!! I know I have!!

Hugs, Char
