Family Picture

We went to a small wedding on Friday nite, and while we were waiting for the happy couple I thought we could take a family picture. I had my fancy camera and a tripod (I was the official photographer for the wedding) I set up the kids first and got such a good picture and it only took a few clicks and there it was!!! Then I set the timer and had all of us in there, Steve gave the cheesiest "CHEESE" smile, so I had to try again, and it turned out, Steve still looks a little cheesy but not as bad. I like this picture because it captures who Madee is. You can dress her up but it doesn't stop her from being herself. She likes to find things, alive things, things that crawl, creep, jump, slither any thing that most people would stay away from! I love that about her!
Here is one of my favorite pictures of the couple that got married.
And this one turned out so cool!
Well that's all for now, I will have more creations soon to show you!

Sock Monkey

I am playing with my new preview set from SU, the Sock Monkey, he is pretty cute, I think I will have to make a real sock monkey for the kids soon! Anyways I have a few leftover canvas bags from VBS and I thought I could alter them a bit and sell them at our craft table at Cultus Lake. We are fundraising for our trip to Ukraine in October. I thought that I would make a cute bag for a little girl with the sock monkey on it. My daughters are dragging around the bags that they made at VBS, so I think that any little girl would love to have one.
I used Brilliance ink to stamp them out, then copics to color and then heat set it with my iron.
The bags came from the good ol' dollar store. I love that place for the most part, when I find great things to alter, for super cheap!

Well that's all for now until I make some more bags!
