Here is my June calendar page......

Good morning!
Here is my June calendar page.

I thought it was fitting to do a masculine theme with Father's Day being in June.

 'Open Sea' & 'Wetlands'

cs:  Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Marina Mist

ink:  Marina Mist, Crumb Cake

supplies:  Natural Twine, Sponge, 1 1/4" & 1 3/8" Circle punches, Ticket Duo punch, dimensionals

I only got Steve's hair cut last night......so will try to fit the others in sometime yet this week.

Right before Steve & Manda got here after work yesterday Brody pulled over the coat rack, (that sits right inside our family room door) & it hit Drake on the top of his head & cut it open.

There was blood everywhere- but the cut isn't near as bad as I thought it would be.

Poor little guy....he didn't cry too bad, but didn't want me to touch it or look at it either.

I'm thankful it wasn't bad enough that we needed to go to the Dr. for stitches.

Nathan & Brayden were here after school & for supper, so enjoyed that.

Deke's Uncle Joe is coming today to help Deke get our lagoons pumped.

And then tonight we sell hogs so I'll be going out to help Deke sort & load them.

I hope you have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!

Happy Stamping!

Hugs!

My May Calendar Page......with sneak peeks at some new Ocassions Catalog products!

Good morning!

Wow!! 

What a crazy, busy week I had with 7 calendar classes all in the past 8 days.

I had many stampers came to make calendars with me for Christmas gifts.

I think that they turned out super cute & am so glad that so many joined me to make them.

I know I'm one very tired gal today....

And am hoping to be able to get alittle sleep sometime this week.

What do you think of this new little flower stamp set & coordinating punch?

Check out the stems......they are actually one of the stamps from the 
December "25 Year Anniversary" set- 'Best of Sale-a-bration'.

And then I just punched out these little petal flowers to put over the stamped stem/flower image.

(I will update this with the supply list sometime soon.)

We are starting off with another busy week.....

My boys will be here soon.

Then tonight 'Susie's Hair Hut' is open to do all of the guys hair cut.

I hope you have a MARVELOUS Monday!
Happy Stamping!
HUGS!

Ho! Ho! Ho! A cute Santa (gift) card!

Good morning!

This is what you call a quickie card that I whipped up last night.

I only wasted 1 1/2 sheets of Real Red card stock trying to figure out where to 

score to get it to look like I was thinking it should.

I used the envelope punch board & modified this card from the one that 

I made for Manda on her birthday.

Click here to see her card! 

Isn't it cute & simple!

And just perfect for a gift card or cash that you are giving to those

 special people on your Christmas list.

 4 1/4 x 11" Real Red CS- score at 2 1/4" & 7 3/4"

On the top half of card, using the Envelope Punch Board- make a notch on each 
end at 1 1/2".

Basic Black CS Belly Band- 1 x 9 1/4"- score at 2 1/2" on each end, 
wrap around the card & attach it- having it line up with the pocket
you've created for the gift card/money.

Belt Buckle- Chalk Talk framelit with Silver Glitter Paper

1" Basic Black Square

3- 3/4" Basic Black Circle Punches (for buttons)

 The little notches I made with the Envelope Punch Board are what gets tucked in under the Belt Buckle (which is attached to the black belt with dimensionals so that it is 'free').

I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday!!!

Happy Stamping!

Hugs!
SUSIE

I hope that goes well!

I don't mind the snow.

I hate the ice.

I hate the terrible cold temps......as it is so hard on all living beings- including our animals.

I am ready for alittle warmer temps.

Especially since I'm a farmer tonight- as we sell hogs....

so praying that goes ok.

I hope you have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!!

Happy Stamping!

My January calendar page.......

Good morning!

We have several inches of snow on the ground right now.

WOW- what a snowy day we had yesterday!

It literally snowed all day.

I had a class & almost everyone made it.

I hated that any of us had to venture out on the roads....going wasn't too bad- but coming home it was really slick & slow going.

But Andrea had a great party regardless of Mother Nature!!  

We had lots of fun with wonderful company, snacks & of course lots of stamping!

Many ladies made multiple calendars to give away as Christmas gifts!

This is the January page that everyone made for our calendars!

Isn't Frosty just adorable!

He is one of my favorite stamped images ever.

I never dreamed that the Big Frosty we use to have would be resized 

& works perfect with our punches now! 

I just love it!

 'Best of Snow' & 'Best New Year'

cs:  Midnight Muse, Cherry Cobbler & Whisper White

ink:  Midnight Muse

I literally stamped all weekend!
Now I'll be getting ready to gear up for all of my classes this week/weekend.

I can't wait to have everyone come make my 2014 calendars with me!

But I have lots of cutting left to do!

We have a friend that is bringing out her grandson to see the baby piggies this morning.

The boys are excited that they get to go out to see them too.

So I've got to run.

I hope you have a MARVELOUS Monday!!

Happy Stamping!

 Yesterday was another busy day on the farm getting in more baby piggies.

The boys were so good & had so much fun!

This morning the boys and I are off to run errands- recycle center, bank, etc....

then meeting my mom, all of my sisters & several of my nieces in Pella for lunch.

Today is our annual day that my mom takes us to tour the Christmas Homes in Pella.

The boys & I won't be touring the homes with them this year, but will get to visit with & see everyone.

We'll take my Aunt Viriginia with us too so she can eat lunch with all of us.

I am hoping we don't all freeze to death.

Tonight is the Southern Iowa Speedway Racing Banquet.

Deke will be going with Nathan.

Nathan is the 2013 Stock Car Champion this year at the track 

& will get awarded for that achievement tonight.

I won't be going with them.....as I'm swamped getting ready for my 2014 Calendar Class that I have on Sunday.

I have LOTS of creating & cutting to do & praying I have good mojo.

I hope you have a FABULOUS Friday!
