Graceful Deer fun fold

WOW- this is a cool fun fold card!

And check out these cool deer!

 

This could make a neat holiday card or a neat guy card!

 Which card do you like better?

THIS OR THAT?

THIS- the colored 'winter greetings' one?

OR

THAT- the 'thinking of you' one?

 

This is one of the cards that everyone joining me at my October

monthly stamp classes will be making.

Everyone will get to decide if they want to color on their card or leave it plain.

#162084- Graceful Deer background stamp= $25.00

NOTE:  This stamp set is all one big background stamp.

To make it more versatile to use I cut mine apart.

YUP- CAREFULLY  I cut it (looking at the red rubber side) in 4 places.

I did NOT cut out any of the images or part of the stamp.

By leaving it this way I can still put it all back together 

& use as one big background stamp.

OR I can use all 3 deer separately or come a couple of them.

When looking down onto the card from the top,

 this is what the card looks like when standing up.

I hope you like this fun fold card as much I do!

Nathan didn't have good luck last night.  He got 4th in his heat & 10th in main.  The motor isn't running right.....so the guys worked late in the shop when they got home from the races.  

I burnt the midnight oil cutting card stock all night last night.  I still have some to finish yet this morning before I go pick up the boys.  When they leave I'll be a busy bee setting up tables/chairs & projects.  Tonight I have a house full coming to stamp with me!  I am looking forward to seeing everyone & sharing!

Brayden has his first baseball game tonight (if it doesn't get rained out)- so Deke will go to that.  I am bummed I can't, but I'll be at the next one.  Brayden isn't excited about playing ball- so I hope that he ends up liking it.  I think he will.  He didn't care for playing soccer either at the beginning & ended up loving it!  

OK- I've gotta run.......

I hope you have a great day!!
Happy Stamping!

Yesterday was a fun day with the boys.  Last night Susie's Hair Hut was open for business & I got Steven's hair cut!  I then burnt the midnight oil stamping!

This morning I'm off to go pick up all of my boys for the day!  I hope I can get the twins hair cut- as they have their pre-school graduation tomorrow....so we'll see how our day goes.  Tonight when they leave I'll be stamping again.  I have lots of card stock yet to get cut.

Gotta run.....

I hope you have a very special Thursday!
Happy Stamping!

Yesterday was a busy day with Masen, Ainslee & Acea.  Nathan was in Des Moines for a meeting all day it was about 6:15 when he got home.  They were headed to town for Brayden's basketball practice.  As Sarah had a meeting in Fairfield.  When the kids went home I picked up toys, answered some emails & did bookwork.  Deke got in late, but the corn is finally all picked & he got 60 big cornstalk bales made.  I made him a late supper & we called it a night.  Our whole week is literally just crazy!

This morning we are up early.  Deke is off to chore & head to Ottumwa for another meeting.  I'm off to Manda's.  I'll take the twins to school & spend my day with Trey & Ainslee.  All of the boys will ride the bus out after school.  The Wood kids are here for the weekend, as Nathan & Sarah are out of town until Sunday night.  Tonight we load a semi of hogs at 6:00.  The 3 kids will go with us & we'll see how that goes.  We'll eat a late supper, take baths, read a few books & it will probably be time for bed.  

I hope you have a great Thursday!!

Happy Stamping!
