A perfect punch art pumpkin!

Good morning!
Happy Halloween!!!
I am so "thankful" for alot in my life.
I treasure all of those that I met over the years that have stamped with me.
And I'm especially thankful for all of my dear demonstrator friends that I have met over the years too.
Sherri Peters is one of those special friends & the creator of this awesome card!
I CASED this for one of my STYC cards last weekend.
This card was a HUGE hit as one of the favorites of many of my stampers!
Sherri is very sweet & so talented & I'd call her a punch art queen.
I met her a few years ago on one of our incentive trips.
On our trip to Fiji in May Deke & I spent quite abit of time with her & her husband Mike &
 then I hung out with Sherri at Founders in September too. 
This awesome card is her Founders swap! 
cs:  Pumpkin Pie, Garden Green, Very Vanilla, Early Espresso
ink:  Pumpkin Pie (sponged around the edges of the ovals)
supplies:  Big Shot, Expressions Thinlits Die, Pretty Prints embossing folder, Modern Label punch, Extra Large Oval punch, sponge, White Twine, Scoring Tool, dimensionals

When it rains it pours.......yesterday was not the best of days.
It seemed that everything we did around here was wrong.

My repair man did get the part for my frig & put it on- so that is now fixed.
We got some errands ran & got drenched from the rain.
I got Drakes hair cut- (now to get Brody's done).
I got the rest of our Oak trim sanded, stained & varnished for Makenzy to come finish putting on-
he hopes to come next Tuesday!
And I spent several hours last night catching up on bookwork- SU!, personal & farm.

Tonight is Trick-or- Treat night & I need to get the boys treats finished.
I'm looking forward to seeing them in their costumes.

It is a new day & I'm hoping that the sun shines & things are good around here.

Wishing you a SPOOKTACULAR Halloween this Thursday!

Happy Stamping!
HUGS!

It was a late night selling hogs last night.
Our poor trucker (Jerry) had had a long last 2 days on the road. 
He was tired & hungry & I was worried about him.
So after we loaded hogs I came in & made him a plate for his supper & took it to town to the sale barn where he was still loading hogs.
I had a pork roast in the oven for us, so he got that with all of the fixing to go along with it to eat too.
His smile when I gave it to him was priceless, so I know he really appreciated it.

Deke has meetings all day today.
The boys & I are going to run some errands.
Tonight I have to work in my stamp room & get STYC things put away so I can start working on cards for this Sunday's class I have.

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

Here is a great masculine card!

Good morning!
Here is a great masculine card that I made for a swap that I was in.

 'Remembering Christmas' & 'Wetlands'

Our day yesterday was fun with Ryker joining us.
The boys played well together.
And Brayden was here to visit awhile after school.
He was excited that Papa was hauling in bales from the field that he mowed, raked & had baled from our cornstalks left from picking our corn last weekend.

When it rains it pours.....as my ice maker leaked all over my kitchen floor.
I have fans on it drying it out now.....so upset as we just got the trim on in the kitchen last Tuesday from the water damage in July from my washing machine.
Uggh......I just want my house to be all done & put back in order again.

Today I'm hopefully going to get caught up on lots of things that happened last week that I didn't have time to do since I was getting ready for STYC.
And then tonight I'm a farmer & will be helping Deke outside.

I hope you have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!
Happy Stamping!
HUGS!

A Smoky Slate Snowflake card

Hello!
Here is the last one my set of 3 snowflake cards for my Christmas Card class/kit.
 I just love this Circle (Flip) Thinlit!
And I love the new Smoky Slate (light gray) color!

ink:  Night of Navy
supplies:  Big Shot, Circle Card (Flip) Thinlit, 2 2/12" Circle Punch, Festive Flurry Framelits, Large Rhinetson, Snow Flurry embossing folder, dimensionals 

I am still alive!!
Wow.....I'm beat & feel like I've been ran over by a truck.
But I finally got some sleep last night, as I slept for about 10 hours straight!
Wow- that is probably more sleep than than I've had combined the rest of the whole week!

Yesterday's Fall Stamp' Til You Cramp was WONDERFUL!
Thanks to all of you that joined me for this annual Stamp Camp.
I had a room full of ladies that all had so much fun stamping together & creating all of the projects that I had for them to make.
I honestly don't even know how many projects I created & they stamped yesterday.
It was LOTS & LOTS!
I will count them soon- as I'm headed back to start picking & packing up everything.

Last night I just walked out the door & left the huge mess when the last ladies were done.
I'll spend my whole day over there today cleaning up.

I hope you have a SENSATIONAL Sunday & can enjoy this beautiful Fall day!
Be sure to stop back by tomorrow for another stamped creation that I'll be sharing with you!

Happy Stamping!
Hugs!
