Recent Travels and Bowling

Happy Wednesday!! Getting closer to that three day weekend!! Hope you don't have to work on Monday! 

This year has been very different for me than in years past. As most of you know. Bill took a job with USBC working the Open Tournament in Reno, Nevada. He has been out there since the middle of February. I made three trips to see him and this last trip was also to bowl in the tournament. Bill was my doubles partner in the tournament and we bowl with a team from Pensacola.

Like those lavender shirts? 

Team "Pensacola Storm"

(Lisa, Bill, Peggy, Tony, Kristen)

The Chocolate Factory is just outside of Reno on the way to Lake Tahoe. This miner sits out back of the factory. He definitely makes Bill look tiny, lol!

Ahhhhh......beautiful Lake Tahoe!

On the outskirts of Reno. A beautiful view of the Sierra Nevada Mountains

Check out Peggy McCurry's score for the second game of three!! Wish my first and third game were like that....

A short clip of the tournament so you can see that we really do bowl!

Enjoy the rest of the week. I may make it back with a card or two in the next few days!

SCS Color Combo Challenge 327

Happy Tuesday! It's Tuesday again already??? I don't think my weekend was quite long enough....

I spent some time at the bowling center this weekend watching a Pro Tournament. Some of my friends were bowling  in it and I was playing cheerleader. On Sunday I went to the beach for a while. It has gotten HOT here! But everyone that knows me knows that I like it that way.

I will be heading for Reno Wednesday afternoon. Our team is bowling in the USBC Open on Thursday and Friday. Wish us luck!! I will also get to spend time with my sweetheart. Only four more weeks and he will be home for the rest of the year. I have him thinking that I have a "honey do" list a mile long, lol!!

My card is for today's SCS Color Combination challenge~ White Chocolate Olives. My friend Vicki has picked some lovely colors for us this week! Green, brown and vanilla is so stately, don't you think?" 
I cased a card out of the new issue of Papercrafts Magazine by Windy Robinson on page 36. I am slowly working my way through the magazine and gathering ideas!

Sweet Birthday

Happy Tuesday!!

I had such a great weekend! My daughter flew down for a visit. We hung out at the beach on Saturday. The water temps were perfect and we did a little swimming and body surfing, lol. On Saturday night we ended up at one of our favorite restaurants on Pensacola Beach called Surf Burger. If you are ever in the area, check it out. It is a little place with a lot of atmosphere and really good burgers, short boards (hot dogs) and hula chips (sweet potato fries).

My card is for today's SCS Color Combination Challenge~A Regal Pink Mambo. And... I am the hostess! I decided a monochromatic theme was in order and the dessert option~ use a round embellishment on your card! I used this weeks CPS Challenge #221 for the layout.

Come on over to Splitcoast and join in the challenge!

Paper: Regal Rose, Pink Pirouette, Melon Mambo, White, DP
