Check out Baymax!

Check out this Baymax birthday invite that I made for Trey.  He just loves this super hero!!  And was bound determined that his invites were going to be Baymax.  So this is what G'ma came up with for him.

stamp sets:  'Confetti Celebration' & 'Balloon Celebration'
card stock:  Smoky Slate, Whisper White, Real Red
ink:  Archival Basic Black & Real Red
marker:  Basic Black
other:  White Twine, Balloon Bouquet Punch, Dimensionals, Paper Snips, Glue Dots
retired:  various Oval punches & Real Red ribbon
 
His invite is clean & simple!  It has some new stamp sets too, along with some retired things- like ribbon & oval punches.  

Below is a photo of Trey before he started opening his gifts.  We had a fun party.....it was just a little hot out.  Thankfully we were in their back yard under the trees & there was a little breeze.  

I still can't believe our little Trey man is now 2.  He is actually like 2 going on 4!  Such a smart little guy!  As he melts G'ma & Papa's hearts too.
 
Yesterday I helped Deke in the afternoon for awhile.  Gosh it was hot out!!  Otherwise I spent the rest of the day catching up on laundry, placing orders & doing bookwork.  I accomplished alot in these 'areas'....now to get caught up on everything else!

This morning I'm off early to go pick up Masen for the day.  Nathan is in Des Moines for meetings for work this week & Sarah leaves home by 6:30 every morning for work.  Masen gets to hang out with us at our bank appointment today too.  And while we are in town I hope we get to run to the store for a few quick things too.

Tonight Brayden has a ball game- so we'll be headed to it.  When I get home I'll burn the midnight oil stamping!!  I have several swaps to make & lots to get ready for my upcoming team meeting that I am having here on Saturday!
 
I hope you have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!!
Happy Stamping!

A double pleated card!

Check out this pretty double pleated card!  This was one of the cards that everyone joining me for my June classes got to make.  

I used the new 'Floral Phrases' stamp set & coordinating Floral Boutique designer paper!!!  It is more of a vintage style than I usually do- but I love the way it turned out!

This stamp set & designer paper is part of a suite in the catalog on pates 76 & 77 that all coordinate!  Be sure you check it out!  It all coordinates:

• 'Floral Phrases' stamp set

Yesterday was a busy, but a GREAT day of stamping!!  Sandy & Sherri were great hostesses & we all had a fun day together stamping!

Last night we enjoyed supper together & watched the boys swim in their pool- as we celebrated Trey's 2nd birthday!

I was hot & exhausted when I got home last night.  I didn't even unload the car- that will have to wait until this morning, so I'm off now to get that done.

Deke is off early to chore & then head to the courthouse for his weekly board meeting.

I think I'm home alone today.....and I have lots to get done.  I am praying I can get alot checked off of my long list of things I need to do!

I hope you have a MARVELOUS Monday!!
Happy Stamping!

Wow it was a busy day yesterday helping Manda & Steve get ready for Trey's 2nd Birthday party!  All of his grandparents, Great Grandparents & some great aunts & uncles were there to help celebrate.  We had a yummy supper & of course cake!  He had lots of fun!  It was a nice neat enjoyed by all- but it was rather HOT out.  

And then I was a busy beaver cutting card stock yesterday afternoon & then last night when we got home from Trey's party. 

This morning I'm up early to finish packing up, load the car & head out, as I have 2 stamp classes today.  (One this morning & one this afternoon.)  Sandy & Sherri are my hostesses!  I'm so excited about getting to see everyone that is joining us & share lots of new things from our new catalog with all of them!

Tonight I'll hurry home from my last class & head right to Manda & Steve's to meet the rest of my family there for supper to celebrate Trey's birthday!  I can't believe our little guy is 2 years old today!!  Tonight it will just be Deke & I; Manda, Steve & their 3 boys; plus Nathan, Sarah & their 2 boys- as they couldn't be there last night due to another family obligation on Sarah's side.  And the boys will get to go swimming too after we eat.

I hope you have a SUPER Sunday!!
Happy Stamping!

Lots of hearts!!

Here is a quick card that I made playing with some new Stampin' Up! products yesterday.  I needed a special thank you card to send to someone very sweet & this is what I came up with.  I hope she likes it when she gets it. 

stamp set:  'Thankful Thoughts' (NEW)
card stock: Thick Whisper White,  Whisper White, Basic Black, Melon Mambo
designer paper: Pop of Pink Specialty DSP (12x 12 NEW)
ink:  Archival Basic Black
other:  Big Shot, Magnetic Platform, Sweet & Sassy Framelits, Best Badge Punch, Dimensionals

Check out the scalloped edge along the bottom.  I love scallops & we no longer have the scalloped edge punch.  So I created a scallop here using our new Best Badge punch.  It was so easy!  And so cute!  

I just used the bottom edge of the Best Badge punch & went along a 5" x 1" strip.  I started it out like this.

And this is what it looked like when I got done with it!!  Cool huh!

I also cut out & layered these 2 hearts together on my card.

This is the new Sweet & Sassy Framelit set!  It is only $35.00 & look at all of the different hearts that are included in ti!  There are 15 different heart framelits in this new framelits set!  WOW!!!

Yesterday was a full day doing bookwork & then burning the midnight oil cutting card stock for this weekends classes.  We did take a couple of hours & went to Brayden's ball game.

This morning I'm up early to get some more cutting done. I'm then headed into Manda's to help her get ready for Trey's 2nd birthday party that is tonight.  I hope to be home by noon to get lunch for Deke & work on getting more card stock cut. 

Gotta run.......
I hope you have a SENSATIONAL Saturday!! 

Happy Stamping!

Yesterday was a LONG day!  WE were both beat when we got in late last night.  The heat wasn't fun!  I'm not a hot weather lover.  I am praying that all of our piggies get to the packing house ok & don't over heat & die on the semi.

Deke was so hot & dehydrated last night when we got in he had the chills & sick.  I was worried about him, but he is feeling a little better this morning.  I don't know if he just overheated yesterday or on top of it if he picked up the flu that Brayden had earlier this week too.  He still doesn't feel good....but much better, thankfully!

The boys had fun on the farm with us though yesterday.  I took some photos to share with you below.  

Here is Drake, Brody, Trey & Papa Deke riding in the scout.  We are headed to the house for lunch!


Here is Brody, Trey & Drake.  They were suppose to smile!!  What fake smiles I got from all of them though!  Check out the little piggies in the background under the heat lamps.  They are just adorable & the boys had alot of fun helping us!
 
  
Deke is off early this morning to chore & has a meeting in Fairfield all day.  I THINK I'm home alone!!  I have LOTS of stamping stuff to get cut for this weekends classes......and lots of creating & cutting to do to get ready for a monthly swap I'm in too.  PLUS I'm having my team meeting next weekend & have LOTS of swaps & projects to create & get cut for that too.  But before I get to stamp today I have to catch up on farm bookwork.   I will be burning the midnight oil forsure. 

Tonight Brayden has a ballgame......so we plan to run to town to watch him play too.  

Gotta run......
I hope you have a FABULOUS Friday!!
Happy Stamping!
