A lovely Christmas Dove!

Good morning!

Wow......when I saw this dove in the Holiday Catalog I can honestly say that it wasn't one that I thought I'd ever buy.
BUT- then at Founders I got 2 awesome swaps from friends.

Sarah's had the rolled banner like this one.

And Kay's was stamped in Crumb Cake.

So I combined some of their ideas & came up with this pretty card for one of my Christmas Card Class/Kits!
I really like it!

 I will hopefully get caught up on supplies lists for cards that I've posted the past week in the new couple of days.

WOO HOO!!!

Today is my Fall Stamp 'Til You Cramp!

Wow......I've spend a lot of time planning, creating & cutting for this big day!
I can't wait to share & spend my day stamping with many of my friends.

I hope you have a SUPER Saturday!!

Happy Stamping!
HUGS!

Wow! Check out this ornament punch!

Good morning!
Here is another one of my Christmas card class/kit cards.

I love it when Stampin' Up! coordinates stamp sets with punches!

This makes for a quick way to add a popped up layer to your card.

(I will catch up with supply posting after STYC.)

 

Woo Hoo!!!

Is it really Friday- Yikes!

I'm making progress......but I am still cutting card stock!

Oh my gosh....maybe I need to rename this upcoming Fall even to something else.....

as yes- I'm Stampin' 'til I Cramp!

My shoulders, neck, back, feet, legs, etc.

BUT I can't wait for tomorrow, so I can share all of my cute creations with all that are joining me to stamp all day!

We are going to have a FABULOUS day!

Update:

Brody had a good report yesterday from Lonnie.

She was going to have Dr. Menezes read the x-rays & will be calling with his results.

But she said that their was definite bone growth since his last x-ray & she had no concerns.

And that is what we've been praying for, as I sure would hate to see him  have to have another surgery in his future.

But we will handle whatever we have to I guess.

So we'll continue our prayers that the bone will continue to grow & close shut.

AND

Brody was so also good to lay still for them to be able to do the x-ray too!

Drake had a long day with "just" Grandma.

Good thing he isn't an only child!

He missed his brother terrible & I know Brody missed him too.

They are just never apart- so this was different for all of us.

It was so cute to see how excited the twins were to see each other when Brody got home.

Ok...back to work!

I hope you have SUPER Friday!

Happy Stamping!
Hugs!

A 'Santa's List' flip card!

Good morning!
Here is another card for my Christmas card/kit class.

(I will update supplies in the next few days.)

The different ways to use this Circle Thinlit are endless!

I just love it!

Brody has a doctor's appointment with Neurology today in Iowa City.

Manda & Steve will be taking him.

He will be having an x-ray this time (no sedated MRI)!

He isn't scheduled to see Dr. Menezes this time, he is to just see Lonnie.

Please keep Brody in your prayers that the bone hole is closing now & all looks good!

So Drake is going to be hanging out with Grandma today in my Stamp Studio!

I am gaining......oh my gosh do I have piles & piles of card stock everywhere!

I hope you have a wonderful day!!

Happy Stamping!
Hugs!

Another Poinsettia Christmas card.....

Good morning!

Here is another card that I designed for my upcoming Christmas card class.

 Isn't it a beautiful card!

(I will update my posts with supply lists sometime in the next few days.)

Wow- Mackenzy came yesterday & spent the day working on my trim & flooring!

He isn't quite done- but made alot of progress & did an awesome job!
He is very picky & I love his corners & edges, as he puts precision & detail into his work.

I don't have enough trim for him to finish the job, so I will make a trip to Menards the first part of next week & get a few more oak pieces to get stained & varnished for him to come back sometime next week & get it all done!

I didn't have time for him to be here.....as I needed to be stamping every spare minute I had.

But I have also been wanting him to get here to do this for me- so I'm not going to complain but be thankful & whatever I get done, I get done for STYC.

The twins loved watching Mackenzy working on the trim & he was so good with them. 

You can tell he has 2 little boys at home & is a wonderful daddy. 

He ate lunch with us too since he was here, so that he didn't have to run to town.

 I made baked shell taco salads.

It was nice to visit with him & I think he liked my tacos as he had seconds.

Aunt Kathy is stopping by today & I'm sending some pieces home for her to Big Shot cut for me.

Plus Judy has been doing some Big Shot cutting for me too!

I have so many cute projects to share & I can't wait for the girls to see them on Saturday at my STYC!

Ok....back to work I go!

I hope the boys play well today & I'm going to try to find a good movie for them to watch while I create & cut.

I hope you have a WONDERFUL Wednesday!
Happy Stamping!
Hugs!

Good morning!

Here is another card that I created for my Christmas Card class/kits.
I love that this set has an awesome punch to go with it!

 Our new Smoky Slate is just very striking isn't it?

I love the script & big wording of this Season's Greeting words from 

'Joy to the World' in the Holiday Catalog.

WOW......I've had very little sleep & done nothing but stamp every spare second  I can the past 4 days......getting ready for Stamp 'Til You Cramp!

And I sure have some very cute projects created to share & I can't wait for everyone to see them.

It was so nice to meet her friends & have them join us to stamp!

Nathan got 4th last night at the races- but started 17th- so he did good!

G'ma enjoyed my night hanging out, playing games & reading books with Brayden.

We are off this morning to the annual Sigourney Fireman's Breakfast.

And then I'm home to become a stampin' maniac!

This is the 1st Sunday in many weeks that I don't have a stamp class- 

so I'm looking forward to being home. 

Lord knows I have tons to do!

'Calm Christmas'

Good morning!
Here is another card for my Christmas Card Class.

When I first saw this Dove stamp set I can honestly say that I wasn't thrilled about it.

But I got an awesome swap from a friend at Founders using this set- so I had to get it.

I love the simple elegance of this for a beautiful Christmas card.

I will be posting pictures of them sometime in the next few days.

We had a fun time at the Pumpkin Patch yesterday.

The 3 boys just loved it!

It was windy & a little chilly- but still so fun!

I'm glad we went.

Nathan got 3rd in the main tonight.

I wish him good luck tomorrow night too!

I hope you have a SUPER Saturday!!

Happy Stamping!
