A NEW Catalog Sneak Peek!

Today I'm sharing a card where I'm combining something NEW with some OLD.  

Aren't these birds just totally adorable!!  They are from a new stamp set- 'Free As A Bird' that will be available to purchase starting on June 4th when the NEW Annual Catalog goes live.  This stamp set is super cute!!  I have some other cards made with it already & I will be sharing them with you in the coming weeks. 

This card is one that all of my team & (demo friends too), that joined me to stamp last month in Minneapolis, after On Stage, made at our Supper/Stamping Night Event.  

This card is a similar to one I did for my April monthly stamp classes too- I just changed the stamp set.  You can see that card by clicking HERE!!

Let me know what you think?  Do you like these birds?

Yesterday was a busy day with the kids.  We played games, cards & all kinds of things all morning.  I was trying to keep them busy.  It was too cold & wet outside to play there.   

Last night I met my mom in Sigourney & we went to the Keokuk County Hospice Service.  It was very nice!  I am glad that I went.  My step-dad, Dick was one of the many loved ones that was honored at this service.  My Aunt Virginia, step sisters, Debbie & Brenda & Debbie's daughter came too. 

This morning I'm off to Manda's.  I'll take the twins to school & spend my day with the 3 little ones.  School gets out early today, so the 3 big boys will ride the bus & be here early.  Tonight I have lots of stamping stuff I have to get done when everyone has gone home.  Deke is home all day to work on the farm, as he is power washing, trying to get for baby piggies.  

I hope you have a GREAT Thursday!!

Happy Stamping!
Hugs-
