Vacation? What vacation??

It is so wonderful to be home! For the last three weeks, my family and I have been on a whirlwind trip out west. Don't get me wrong! I love vacation and spending that time with my family, but to be able to take a shower in something other than a two foot square box, that's amazing. Or, to be further than eight feet away from two bickering girls who have grown tired of each other on the third day of the trip, THAT is amazing!

But other than the little things that make you miss home, it was such a wonderful and beautiful trip! I saw things that are so utterly breathtaking and did things that are sooooooooo out of my comfort level {and am completely proud of myself for doing them.} I am not an outdoorsy kind of girl, and I spent just about all of the time outdoors.

I took so many pictures and couldn't even come close to sharing them all, but over the next week I will share my favorites in between the crafty posts.

But now, I get to go back to a regular routine {not really regular, cause we have a couple of great new things going on with the people in our house right now} and I get to go back to work {have I every told you how much I love my work? I know, I have, but it is such an awesome place with some pretty awesome people!}

For now, I will leave you with the first couple of pics:

Peachy Keen Guest Designer Day 2

Welcome back to day number two!  I am so happy to see you all back here for my Guest Design Team spot for Peachy Keen Stamps . For today's project I will be using the Tuesday Sketch Challenge from the Challenge Blog . I used the Cheers and Green Beer stamp set for my card. I have been so focused lately on Valentine's Day that I have completely blocked out St. Patty's Day! But here is a card to remedy that. I used my Copic Markers to color in the images and used my Spica Glitter Pens for added definition. I am glad to say that I think I am finally getting the hang of these markers. I masked the coins to give a continuous border of them and used a pop dot under the mug of green beer. Don't forget to leave a comment here and at the Peachy Keen Blog for your chance to win the Valentine Cupids stamp set! Thanks for stopping by!!!
