Sketchy Thursdays

Happy Sunday everyone! 

I hope you are having a relaxing one whatever you are doing.

I thankfully do not have many things on my To Do list today, so I get to play around a little!

Today I have a LO with silly faces made by the Co-conspirator next door. 

These were taken at my DD's graduation party.

I have used the sketch from over at SketchyThursdays  which 

I thought was too cute this week. 

My background paper is Black & Kraft Diamonds from Canvas Corp, so I am also linking up over at Kraft It Up! , the other criteria for their challenge was to use fabric, which I have used fabric ribbon and to use stitching, which of course I have!

My other papers are from Tim Holtz (the Postage Stamp PP), and everything else is MMM. 

The Chipboard piece I have had FOREVER. Literally FOREVER. It is one of the first things I bought way back when I started scrapping, it came in a sheet of die cut heart pieces. They are all so cute, and I have never used them!!! Thank you Scrapbookers Anonymous   for the prompt or this would probably still be sitting in it's package :o)

Here is a look at the fab sketch from Sketchy Thursdays

See, I told you it was cute! 

Also linking to these challenges:

Kraft It Up - Kraft Paper, Fabric and stitching

Scrapbookers Anonymous - Chipboard

Frosted Designs - Postage Stamps 

I don't normally combine this many challenges, but these just all fell into place!

I also wanted to share a couple of photos of some backyard visitors. Every spring / summer we have a veritable nursery in our backyard. There are so many baby birds, squirrels, raccoons, opossums - you name it. Here are a couple that we have hanging out right now;

How cute are these little guys? I have been trying for weeks to get a clear photo of the woodpecker babies (the one with the red cap on above) but their feathers are such good camouflage that my lens has the hardest time focusing on them! And they move SOOOO fast! 

Thanks for stopping by today.

Please keep our soldiers and their families in your thoughts. 

As a retired Marine wife, I know that sometimes the toughest job can be sitting at home. 

May God please bring all our soldiers home. Thank you.
