Good morning!

Here is another one of my Christmas Card class cards.

It is a simple, yet elegant card created with 'Santa's List'.

'Santa's List' & 'Oh, Goodie'

ink:  Early Espresso
supplies:  Big Shot, Pretty Prints Embossing Folder, Tasteful Trim Die, Word Window Punch, 2 Way Glue Pen, Dazzling Diamonds Glitter, dimensionals

This week sure flew by!

Aunt Kathy came down the past 2 days to help me get left over cards that were cut all stamped & things put away from my classes that were last week.

I'm thankful for her help- as we spent several hours doing that with the 2 of us together, I can't imagine having done it alone.

I needed the boxes & things empty so that I can use the sets, ink pads, punches, etc. for creating & working on STYC projects for next weekend!

Last night Susie's Hair Hut was open with Steven & Deke getting their hair cut.

Now to find time to squeeze the 3 boys into my schedule, as they all need hair cuts too.

They probably aren't getting theirs cut until after STYC is over with, as every spare minute I have I'll be getting ready for it.

There is no school in Sigourney today due to Parent/Teachers Conferences that past 2 nights.

So Manda & I planned 2 months ago to take the 3 boys to the Pumpkin Patch at Grinnell.

We are off there this morning.

Deke has meetings all day.

 I am then home later this afternoon to stamp!

I'll be stamping all night- as I have Cathy's workshop in Cedar Rapids tomorrow morning that I will be creating & cutting for.
Plus I several boxes of stamps that I need to get sorted & bagged & ready for delivery too.
The guys are headed to Memphis, Missouri to race tonight.
I'm bummed- as this is my very favorite race track to go to & 
I'm not able to go with them this weekend.
I hope that Nathan has good luck!
Go #52 Wood Racing Team!
I'll be getting text message updates from Deke on the happenings at the races.

I hope you have a FABULOUS Friday!
Happy Stamping!

Hugs!

Lovin' this Christmas card....

Good morning!

Here is a quick post, as I have Stampin' Night here tonight & have a large group coming & still have lots to do in between caring for & enjoying the twins today.

Manda has an early meeting today, so they will be here soon.

This card is one that I did for my GoDiva's Swap.

'Santa's List'

Good morning!!

Happy Hump Day!

Here is another one of the cards everyone stamping with me at my October classes will be making!

 I will update this sometime soon with a supply list.

Isn't this Santa just so cute!

And I love the file folder look made with the new Envelope Punch Board too.

I have been a stamping fool creating my Christmas Stamp-a-Stack cards!

They are all done!

I ended up creating 15 different ones as there are so many cute Christmas sets in the Holiday Catalog that I just couldn't narrow it down to the normal 9 different cards that I usually do.

I will be getting pictures of them, figuring out the prices & sending out emails the first part of next week or before.

I can't wait for you to see them!
I like them all, but I definitely have a couple of favorites!

If you are stamping with me anytime soon- (tomorrow night, Friday night or Sunday afternoon) 
I'll have them with me & on a display board for you to see!

Gotta run.....

I hope you have a WONDERFUL Wednesday!

Happy Stamping!
Hugs!
