 A complete blog line up is located for you below my post in case you get lost along the way.

And now for my project....

I decided to make a Project Life layout using the new Destination Fun stamp set!  My family & I traveled to the Grand Canyon & the Hoover Dam last summer for our vacation.  These stamps were PERFECT for my layout!  

I stamped the sentiments directly onto my photos.  Here are some close ups of the stamps.

My youngest daughter "read" the map for us so, needless to say, we got lost a few times.  (:

This is one of my favorite pictures of the girls on our trip.  Another one of my favorites is one of them at the Hoover Dam.  The wind was blowing when I was taking their picture & Lorelai had crazy hair!  (:  Let me share it w/ you guys just for fun.  (:

Isn't the Grand Canyon absolutely gorgeous?!?!?!?  I'm so glad we decided to visit there!  I cut the side tab from one of the brochures we brought home w/ us from the visitor center.  I can't wait to finish documenting the rest of our trip!  We had such a blast & can't wait for the next one!  

Next up on the Line Up is the amazing Glora.

Be sure to hop with us!!! Winners will be picked from a different blog each day, so the more you comment the more chances you have to win.

We Go Together Like...CDD Daily Post

Hello again!  Aren't you loving Tara's newest release?!?!?!?  Just wait until you see the next one!!!  (:  

I used the Perfect Pair stamp set for my card today.  This is one of my favorite stamp sets!!  There are so many fun sentiments w/ this set.  

I just love this little dragon!!  He is from SVG Cutting Files.  The flames are also part of the dragon cut file. My card base is also from SVG Cutting Files.  And these sentiments worked PERFECTLY for my card.  Below are some close ups of the sentiments I used.

Below is a picture of the Perfect Pair stamp set.  I just can't get over how fun this stamp set is!!  (:

I also put my cute little dragon on an action wobble!!  These wobbles are too fun!!  Here is a picture of the wobble in action!  (:

I finished off my card w/ some white sequins.  

Thanks for stopping by & have a blessed day!  (:
