Sorry this is WAY late. I spent the day with my kids and hubby. We went to Squam Lake. It is a nature hike where you learn about wild animals, in their natural habitats. It was fun. A little hot, but fun all the same. We all learned a lot. I think Jay and I were more fascinated than the kids though! LOL!
We learned about Fishers, saw mountain lions (they were really fascinating), bears, owls, fox, and eagles to name a few. There were foot print samples of each animal, pelts to touch. The kids thought it was HILARIOUS that they had actual samples of each animals “Scat” (aka POOP) so you can tell what type of animal is in the forest by looking at the poop, and how you can tell what they eat-YUCK! Yet interesting all the same.
We went to the Beaver show. Now did you know that beavers are the 2nd largest rodent?
Um, yeah! Well let me tell you, that thing was determinded to get off that table. We were VERY close. When it came time for questions that is what I asked
So I raise my hand and say-“Can beaver’s jump? Like off that table?”
Thankfully he said No! But he has fallen off in attempts before.
He kept trying to get off the table. I would have gone crazy if that happened! Funny they don’t bit humans or anything, but at the end of the day they are STILL a rodent.
There was a RODENT exhibit! EW! Rodents are the largest populated thing in the US. (OK so I forgot my technical terms but you get my point).
Amber made this MOUSEY face when pointing to the mouse photo. It was HILARIOUS if you were there.
Then her and Alexa were peering in at a little mouse family-can you see the mice???
OH GOD! I wanted to die. Me and rodents-not cool.
I want to own an Owl! LOL! I knew I loved all these cute owl images for a reason. Mice are their prime prey. LOVE owls, HATE mice.
Here are some other photos:
Alexa was showing me the butterflies up close (note her earrings!!)
Noah climbs up to a cave playhouse thingy.
Then the kids nest to the bear pelt.
There are lots more but I don’t want to bore you with everything. It was just a good educational day.
Anyway-lets think treats.
Sweet Treats! Don’t miss your chance to get your own set—>HERE!
That is today’s set feature here. Christine has put together new Kits-so my ideas here today share MY take on what can be done using ONLY what comes in the kit! I hope you like it 😀
I scream you scream, we all scream for ice cream!
I HAD to make a ice cream cone! This uses ALL nestabilities, and my mosiac tile cuttlebug folder 😀 So cute. It is a SQUISHED version from this creation.
Is that bear not the CUTEST ever? Oh gosh I just love it.
Then you have that monkey!!
I just adore these animals she does. MUST Haves!!
Here is the kit info. The release is tomorrow night 10pm EST!! WAHOO!! Must haves.
In Christine’s words:
I mentioned before that this month would be our first ever card kit. I drew the stamps specifically for the card kit. Since everyone loves Monkey, he is back with a new friend, a bear. And what is better in the summer months than ice cream?The kit will contain:10 pieces of cardstock 6 pieces of pattern paper7 yards of ribbon36 brads16 gems1 Stardust Glitter Pen1 Sweet Treats Stamp Set1 Instruction sheet to make 5 cards
There is enough in this kit to make the 5 cards plus plenty more. This will be an every other month kit.

PS. I have noticed some people place owl figures on their roof to ward off mice. I’t supposed to scare them away.
Ohh Wow!
Love your cards they look awesome!
looks like you had a great day out at squam lake.
Hugs rach.xx
Everytime I see these colors I think of ice cream! Great cards! And now I need the mosaic folder to make of those fabulous ice cream cones!
OMG those pics are great. It made me think of the time I was at the National Zoo (DC) and there was a ROACH exhibit. At the time I had just moved up from Florida. And I thought… “seriously a roach exhibit, just go to FLORIDA!”. Anyway… I appreciate that it is educational and good family time…. but aaaaaaaaaaaack!
lol
Hugs,

I love the cute animal stamps, I’m going to “need” them.
oh Lauren, I am so glad you made another ice cream cone! That is just so adorable. You know you will have to do a tutorial on that someday. I loved seeing your pictures too. Looks like a fun time was had by all!
Holly
Holy cuteness!!!!
These are all Adorable Cards!
These stamps are all wonderful.
Have them added to my wish list!
Great photos of the kids..
Looks like everyone was having a
good time!
Impressed by the beaver were you??? Well not to further your distate for the rodent family, but, 2 summers ago my sweet little Stella (my “dogter” ) got attacked by a beaver. $1500 and 40 stitches (1 surgery + 1 return for a mini surgery) later she is as good as new (except we now hate them!). It is amazing what those things could do. Her life was spared by her collar (it bit her neck and got her collar so she only ended up with 4 puncture wounds from those big teeth- no jugulars involved! and the claws tore open her head and shoulder. I was preety upset, and it took me over a year to go back to that same trail to walk her. I took plenty of pictures and ended up making a really cool card for the vets office- it is still hanging up there today, and the new vet that joined the clinic said to me the first time we saw her- so that is Stella the beaver dog! She is quite the little celebrity there!
Love the MFT page by the way! I am like you – NO SCRAPPING! I have all the intentions, but not the motivation- big pieces of paper scare me! I think I will have to scrap the beaver incident though- my girlfriend just gave me a beaver stamp as a joke!

It looks like you guys had a lot of fun! I am NOT a rodent person myself. Actually the only things that I like that are not human are cats and dogs! LOL I LOVE all of your ATS creations!!
What a great little trip. We had conservation day at school this year which was like that – but our only live species were snakes -ew but they too eat mice! Super cute cards as always!
What a fun place to visit. It looks like you all had a great time.
Your card with the ice cream cone is adorable. I don’t know where all of your creative ideas come from but I am sooooooooo happy that you like to share your brilliant ideas with all of us.
These pictures are soooooo cute! Ava has a bug obsession and that freaks me out, we have to tell her to NOT pick up the spiders! At the zoo her favorite spot is the insect house, soooo creepy!
LOOOOOOOVE that ice cream cone!
