Mojo Monday- FALL

Good morning!

It is a Mojo Monday sketch...... and I am thinking of FALL!

This is what I came up with.  
I wanted to use something new from the Holiday Catalog.
 I really like this new 'Wonderfall' stamp set & haven't had a chance to play with it much yet.  

So here is the weeks Mojo Monday sketch...... 
 AND here is the card I created using this sketch! 
What do you think??
 'Wonderfall' & 'Fabulous Phrases'
cs:  Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Natural Ivory, Island Indigo
Orchard Harvest Designer Paper
ink:  Early Espresso & Island Indigo
supplies:  Big Shot, Tasteful Trim Bigz XL die, Woodgrain Embossing folder, Autumn Accents Bigz die, 1 3/8" square punch, Crumb Cake seam binding ribbon, Jewelry Tag punch, dimensionals, glue dots

We race in Osky tonight.
Nathan is 2nd in points & only behind by 4 points, 
so it would be nice to come home with a win tonight.  
Especially since tomorrow (Thursday) is his birthday!
What a nice present that would be!! 
I'll have my fingers crossed that we have some good luck for a change.

The twins will be here all day today & spend the night tonight.
Since we get home so late from the races, it is just as easy to have them stay here than go home.
That way they will hopefully sleep in a little & 
Manda & Steven won't have to get up in the middle of the night either.

They are still sick......yesterday was a long day.
Poor little guys!
We might be headed back to the dr. today too.  
Brody has a rash all over him & they are still running fevers.
Will see what today brings.

Hope you have a fabulous day!!
Happy Stamping!
ENJOY!

'Fabulous You'

Good morning.....

Here is a pretty card that my downline Dawn Klein sent to me......check out all of the BLING!!  Love this PRETTY "girly card"!!  What a perfect saying that is so fitting to go with this stamp set!  Someone at Stampin' UP! was really thinking!  I just bought this stamp set, so now to find time for me to play with it & see what I come up with!


'Fabulous You'
cs:  Calypso Coral, Basic Black, Whisper White
ink:  Black Craft pad
markers:  Calypso Coral, Pretty in Pink, Lucky Limeade
supplies:  Big Shot, Snow Burst embossing folder- retired, Basic Rhinestones, Embossing Buddy, Black Embossing powder, Heat Tool

The dr. told me yesterday that the twins just have a virus- so we'll see.  Hope their fevers are gone & they slept better last night.  Not fun to have little ones that don't feel good.  He did give them some medicine for their runny noses & was thinking maybe they have allergies- which is a good possibility since their dad & I both have really bad allergies.  They will be here soon- so we'll see how they feel.

Lovin' the nice weather!!   All of the boys & I were outside yesterday morning & afternoon for awhile.  

We sell hogs tonight.....and Steven & Josh will have to help us since they are from outside lots.  Then the guys will work in the shop on the race car for awhile- as we race in Osky tomorrow night.

Have a great day!!
Happy Stamping!
ENJOY!

A bouquet of flowers......

Good morning!
As promised here is my card with my perfect flat bow that I shared with you yesterday.  I love flowers & there are very bright & cheery!

I stamped the jar onto a window sheet using the Black Stazon ink pad.  Using the Cannery Set framelits I cut out the jar & the flowers!  From the Basic Pearls assortment I added the largest pearl to the center of each of the flowers!
