Happy Birthday Daddy:)

Just a card I finished up for my dad's 51st birthday. Can't believe he'll be 51 this year. He still looks like he's in his late 30's and acts like he's in his early 20's. Glad it's that way. He's never going to be "old" in my eyes.

Guest Designer for Gauche Alchemy

I am on top of the world! The awesome DT over at Gauche Alchemy has chosen me for a Guest Designer spot for the month of October. I am simply floored at the thought. Thank you Amy!

Now- you HAVE to go and check out the kits over on their site. Totally off the wall, beautiful and inspiring. Go get one! They have some sweet stuff happening over there, seriously. Make sure you check out their esty shop too!

Come Play With Me, & Win a RAK!

Hey Everyone! I got this idea from Alyssa, (awesome fellow designer for SC) and I thought it would be fun to give everyone a try! Send me an email at dinkfuente@gmail.com with your answers. If you get all of the answers correct, you'll be in the pool to win a fun fall-time RAK! Good Luck!


This is a simple play-on-words game where I give you the clue and you have to name the manufacturer. For example, a clue may be "chilly amphibian", and the answer would be Arctic Frog.

ATC Challenge

This was pretty fun, because I never seem to do anything but LO's. I think I'd like to do an entire series of ATC's (Artist Trading Card's) and use them as a RAK for the IDD challenge blog.

We were so excited to take pictures of Kain's first carousel ride on his birthday. He didn't really know what to think, but I'm sure he'll look back at these pictures and really love the idea of it. I had tons of fun planning this page out for the photos we took.

Woo Hoo!

I am super excited for the card's Nancy was giving away on her blog. They are super fun and super creative, and I can't wait to get them in the mail! Too cute...now I have to decide if I will really use them, or just keep them for my personal stash of fun things:)
