City Crafter Challenge Blog Week 120 ~ Solid as a Rock

Hi there, it is my turn to host City Crafter Challenge Blog this week

the theme I had for you is

Solid as a Rock


To use only solid color paper on your project, no patterned paper, but you are allow to use other medium and embellishment.

I started with my aqua cardstock and sew around the edges


pick out my favorite picture I took at the Grand Canyon South Rim


start stamping around and playing with acrylic paint as well


next come the title and embellishment


as well as words found in magazine


that's it, no patterned paper used, all cardstock only, but as much fun



Our guest this week is the amazingly talented Lauren Bergold

Arches National Park


Death leaves a heartache no one can heal,
Love leaves a memory no one can steal

~ Unknown ~

***  ***  ****

Today, I am sharing some of the photos taken on our last trip to Arches National Park

*June 2012*
We drove from Santa Fe, north through the Colorado mountains, and then west to Utah




getting closer....


Finally...... 
Arches National Park, Moah, UT

These rock formations are known as Park Avenue, they are one of the first sites to see after entering the park (and it does remind me of Park Avenue in New York City, aww.... I miss NYC)


for just $10, you get to see all these? WOW, what a bargain



Another popular features of Arches National Park, Balanced Rock
the big rock on top is the size of three school buses


the hike up to the Delicate Arch


The 60-90 minutes hike (depending on how fast you walk) did not look that tough but my..... it is not that easy for me, to make the matter worst, we tried to get up there before it gets dark, I left my water bottle in the car, so you can imagine that hike.......


No, not yet, this one only qualified to call a "window"


just around the corner....

TADA..........


The 65-foot (20 m) tall freestanding Natural Arch is the most widely-recognized landmark in Arches National Park


lots of people waiting for sunset at Delicate Arch


Yes, Arches is indeed a sad place for me, my first time here was with a great friend in 2006, he passed away few years later..... *sigh*


I just love the colors of the sky when the sun is setting


Goodbye Aches, when will we meet again?



I will be back here with a new project for City Crafter Challenge Blog, meanwhile, you might want to check the following blogs out

Make your postman smile......


Just a few weeks ago, I play along with Kissinia's Mail Exchange 2012

The idea is to decorate your envelope, maybe that could make your postman smile, don't you think?

Alright, you can read about the original post on Kissinia's blog HERE!

I received this beautifully done envelope from Kissinia


came with it, 3 more envelopes for me to decorate and send it out

Kissinia also include this wonderful creation of hers in the envelope


Thank you so much Kissinia, for the lovely envelope and tag, but most of all, thanks for spending time to organized the Mail Exchange 2012, I had lots of fun!

Now that I have 3 envelopes decorated and sent it out yesterday

to

Kissinia of course....

and

Sandi, whom I learn about the Mail Exchange from....

and one more is going to 

a special friend

who always there to lend a listening ear

when my days aren't so pretty

Thank you my dear friend!

♥

I will post my decorated envelop soon after my recipients got them and I hope you would find some time to pop over to Kissinia's Blog, not sure if the Mail Exchange is still going on, but a visit there is surely worth the trip as Kissinia has some wonderful art work on her blog.
