Happy Saturday!
Feels like summer!
We are off the the Sea & Science center in Manchester NH with the kids.
I have cut WAY back on all my design commitments so I can focus more on my children, family and pursuing my template designs, and MAYBE stamp design 😀 My true passions.
Sorry this is late. I had a day out of the house and spent some time with my children, so I’m sure you understand!
Tomorrow I will spend the day packing orders from my HUGE STAMP SALE!! Paulette and I are buried in stamps and our houses are TRASHED! LOL! All the orders stacked and getting ready to go out! Some will ship Tuesday as I alerted the P.O. of how many packages we have (well over 100) and they asked me to break it up for them! We live in a small town, so you don’t want to upset the P.O.!
Yesterday we went to Build a Bear to make Ethan’s sister Ava the Pawsome Pony!! We have two outfits-one ALL GIRLY, and the other is ALL boy. We stuffed out hearts and prayers in the pony, and left it “open” so Ava and her family can stuff their hearts and wishes in the pony too!
Amber decided Ava HAD to have a set of ALL Girly clothes for her pony so she could make it a boy or girl. She did all the “styling” of Pawsome Pony for Ava (basically she chose the same outfit she loved for her own Dog she created) Avawill get to name the pony and stuff on her own, online. Now she will have BOY Cowboy and Girly clothes for the pony. We also got a bandanna and a Saddle!
When you squeeze the hoof it says I love you! Alexa decided we had to include that.
I don’t know WHO had more fun, me or the kids. Amber decided she wants to have her birthday party there! OK! Now I know!
I let my kids make thier own animal! They want to be “featured” here (My kids LOVE when I put their photos here! LOL! My husband, not so much!) with their animals, and share photos of the Pony that they made for Ava. Another post, another day. I think Ava will really like it! I wanted to make one for myself! LOL! Lot’s of fun.
OK so onto the challenge!
This week we have a color challenge, and I asked the My Time to Create Team to use the NEW! Weiman Wrangler’s Digi images for our challenge.
Please read about this set! All proceeds benefit the Make A Wish Foundation of Illinois in Honor of Ethan Weiman!!
Today’s challenge is the PERFECT opportunity to help you get something together to enter to WIN the $25 gift certificate to Pink Cat Studio! –>READ HERE<—
No limit to number of times you can enter, as long as it is a NEW! creation, each time!
PS IF YOU ARE USING THE WEIMAN WRANGLERS—->PLEASE LINK IT HERE, AND IN THE CONTEST POST! That way you are entered in the contest!
Here is my take on the challenge
We’re Celebrating
I think this is so cute!!!
I thought this would be the ULTIMATE cute Cowboy themed birthday invite (or card to give the Birthday Cowboy!)
I LOVED these colors for the Weiman Wranglers Digi Set! I normally go with red or blue, and chocolate. Great to step out of my color comfort zone!
I used the horseshoe image from JustRite Stamps–NEW! Favorite Occasions Borders & Centers Set 1-5/8″ and the We’re Celebrating from the NEW! Celebrations Demi Phrases Set 2″ . It was PERFECT (I think) for this card.
Overall this is SIMPLE, but it didn’t NEED much more.
So I hope you get to give it a whirl!
My contest ends Monday!!! So get a move on 😀

Hey there! I just wanted to let you know how inspiring you are! I’ve just spent the last 4 days going through your past blogs. I’m just absolutely amazed at all of the beautiful things you’ve made. I’m new at card making and your creations have just awed me. Thanks so much for sharing so many ideas! They are truly amazing!
Awwh…what an absolutely adorable card! Love how you broke up the panel and how you colored Cowboy Ethan. Glad to hear you had such a great time at Build A Bear! Can’t wait to see the horse :O)
I ended up playing along today also…just had to go all digital!
Have a great time with the family today :]
Adorable card Lauren. Love the grey horse and the layout of the card. Super duper – thanks for the ink to Alicia’s book – what a great memory item.
love this! I hope i’m able to play this week!
Wow everyone did such great jobs on their cards! I’m glad to hear you’ve cut back to be able to spend time with your family Lauren. They are so lucky to have you. Enjoy your summer!
Hi Lauren,
I was able to play along for your color challenge! It’s my first. At first I had a hard time with the colors, but love how it turned out in the end. How could it not with such sweet images and inspiration! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Hi Lauren, Thanks you for all your inspiration. Your ideas and creations are beautiful, so much so you have encouraged me to design my own templates.
Thank you

Lauren,
I am just now startine with Copic markers. I loved your video on coloring with them. Could you suggest what markers to start with. I have mostly stampin up paper, designer paper. I do have some designer paper by PTI. The baby paper and the black. Any help you could give me would be appreciated. Oh, I also got Sports Billy. That might help you know what markers I might nee.
What a wonderful thing you are a part of with the Weiman fundraiser. Love your card, too!
Good luck getting everything shipped out–bet that will be a big relief!
Love your card, Lauren! Glad you have cut back a bit! You’ve worked too hard not to enjoy the summer with your kids!
I made a card using the Weiman Wranglers Cowgirl image and linked it with Mr. Linky. Love your card as always Lauren!
