Manti Temple

This Valentine's Day is one I will never forget. First on Friday night my hubby took me for a night out, dinner, movie the whole thing. Then he got me a dozen red roses, a dozen white roses and a dozen and a half pink roses. They were beautiful. But Saturday was the best. Marty and I drove up to Manti to go to the sealing of my Uncle and his wife and son. It was amazing. There were so many family members there that I hadn't seen for so long. And that temple was AMAZING!!! It was the first time I had been to that particular temple , and the spirit was so strong. All I could think was that we are so lucky to have the true Gospel in our lives. We are so blessed. I have posted some pics. You can see when we got there that morning it was stormy and overcast. But by the time we were done with the sealing the storm had left and the gorgeous blue sky was the perfect back drop for this beautiful temple.

It's been awhile!!!

So it really has been a while since I have posted ANYTHING. Then as I am looking it has been a REALLY long time since I have posted anything other then a kwerner color challenge. I just wanted to touch base with everyone and say that I will be trying harder to post more often and i am also going to add more about the fam. thanks for everyone who comes to check on us. We love you all.

Kwerner Color Inspiration #37

It has been a while since I have been able to do a Kristina color challenge. But I locked myself in my craft room (and my kids and husband out) and got this one done in the nick of time. As most of you know I am WAY behind on my scrapbooks, so I have been doing pages for these challanges instead of cards. This is my oldest daughter Brittanie, and she just turned 13. AAAGGGHHH a teenager! So I wanted to do a page that highlighted her personality. So for the names of the colors we were suppose to use head over HERE. I am leaving to go see a movie with my hubby so thanks for looking. I hope you enjoy!

P.S. leave me a comment :)

P.P.S. Don't you just love these flowers? I made them myself!! Here is the link to learn how.

Kwerner color inspiration #33

Time for another color inspiration. Colors this week are chocolate chip, pumpkin pie, taken with teal, certainly celery and whisper white.
So you can see the chocolate chip background, certainly celery mat behind my image. This is one of my favorite stamps, she is a Hanna Stamp. I used the technique for the stamp that I believe is the paper doll technique. Anyway you stamp your image on several different papers then cut out each area and paste to the image that is stamped on whisper white. I hope that makes since hahaha. Well here is my submission, I hope you like it.

Color Inspiration #31

Time again for another kwerner color inspiration. I decided this week to do a scrapbook page because I am sooooo behind on them. This is a page about my little Brock. Yes the same Brock that turned 8 last week. Hahahaha, he is like 2 in these pics, yep that's how behind I am. Anyway I am glad I am 1 page less behind now. I am pleased with how this turned out, and pretty proud of my self that I was able to get Elegant Eggplant on a cowboy page. So here is the break down, the background paper is so saffron, the mat and the fringe are close to cocoa. There is pumpkin pie on the rub on cowboy and the 'cowboy up' chip board and also the stitches on the side of the main pic. Ribbon is whisper white with elegant eggplant x's and also an elegant eggplant mat on the main pic. I think that is all of it, and as always, Thanks for visiting!
P.S. You can see the colors and accents tons better if you click on the picture and view it really big.

Is it just me, or do these colors get harder every week?
Maybe I need to take a week off, I don't know. Anyway the colors for this week are Pacific Point which is the dotted lines and the star brads. Taken with Teal, lined paper. By the way all of these are paper pieces that where together on a 12 x 12 by Cosmo Cricut. OK next was Elegant Eggplant which is the ribbon. Pumpkin Pie is on the 'You Are' words and mat. And last was whisper white which you can see is all over. It ended up being a very simple card, no stamping or ink involved at all, just paper, ribbon and some dimensionals. ENJOY!
