This weeks "WEEKLY DEALS"- June 30th through July 6, 2015! WHILE SUPPLIES LAST ONLY from now on!

ENJOY!!

Here is another scrapbook page that I created for my annual scrapbooking event.  I thought this was the perfect layout for many different occasions you might want to scrap.  I love the little tubs of popcorn.  Isn't it cute!!

I thought the words "enjoy" at the top on a tag was just very appropriate for this layout.  

My upline Shari shared little popcorn tubs like this with the film strip on a scrapbook page that she had made & I just thought it was adorable!  So this is my version.  And I am a HUGE popcorn lover too.  

**There are both some current & retired products used here on these pages.

I enjoyed my day with my boys yesterday!!  They are just so sweet!  We played outside alot.  They should have been tired last night.  

Today I'm a farmer!  I'm headed out early this morning to help Deke with marking, sorting & loading hogs.  I hope we get alot done before it gets too hot out.  

I hope you have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!!  

Happy Stamping!

Woo Hoo!! Today is Masen's baby shower!!

 
Yesterday was a super crazy day!  I enjoyed my day with everyone that came to create scrapbook pages with me!  When they left I started creating things for Masen's baby shower all night.  His shower is today.  I still have a few more projects to get finished & lots of food yet to make!!!

Here is the diaper cake that I made last night!  Didn't it turn out super cute!!  I had no clue what I was doing when I started....and I'm sure pleased with it.

I'll share more photos in the coming days of other projects that I made for Masen's baby shower & some more scrapbook pages too!

I hope you have a SUPER Sunday!!

Yesterday I was up bright & early & went to Manda's to help her get ready for Trey's party!  It was a warm day, but all turned out perfect!!!  He loved his cake!!  It was precious!

 

All of our hard work in getting everything ready paid off!  The food was all yummy, the weather was good & it was a nice celebration with our families for both Trey's birthday & Father's Day too! Plus yesterday was also my Aunt Virginia's birthday too- so we sang "Happy Birthday" to her & sent her home with several pieces of chocolate cake (her favorite). 

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

Happy Father's Day!!

Happy Father's Day to all of the special men in our lives.  Today is a happy day for we'll be spending it with family, but it is also a sad day- as my dad passed away on Father's Day.  So today is a bitter sweet day forsure.

What do you think this quick card I made up last night for Deke for Father's Day!  I just love this new Tip Top Taupe In Color.  The new Go Wild Designer Paper Stack is perfect to coordinate with it too.

This stamp set- 'Friendly Wishes' has definitely became my go to stamp set when I need a card lately.  There are just endless possibilities with it, that is forsure.

I made this card into a quick & fun 'z' fold!

We had a super busy day- but a great one yesterday!  We enjoyed our day with Nathan, Sarah, Brayden & her parents.  We all at lunch together at Red Lobster & then went to the 3D Ultra Sound to see Masen.  He is adorable & a big boy!  We are all patiently awaiting his arrival in August.

We made a few stops up & back.....as we picked up a bench for Manda at Homemakers that she had ordered; we made a quick stop at Target to pick up some things for Masen's baby shower that is next Sunday; and then I stayed in Osky on the way home & Deke road home with Nathan, Sarah & Brayden.  I got the rest of things I needed at Walmart for Masen's baby shower & things for Trey's birthday party that is tonight.  Then I came home & spent the night cooking up a storm.  I made 2 Oreo desserts (for Deke & Sarah's birthdays), potatoe salad, macaroni salad, layered lettuce salad & cut up a big watermelon.  There were lots of dishes to do with boiling potaotes, boiling eggs, cooking macaroni, etc.  We also sliced pork loins & have them marinating & will cook them on the grill tonight for everyone.  

This morning I'm headed to Manda's to help them get ready for the party & a house full of people.  Hopefully the weather cooperates & all spend the evening in their back yard on the patio.  We'll be celebrating Trey's 1st Birthday & Father's Day for all of the special guys in our lives too!

I hope you have a SUPER Sunday!!
Happy Stamping!

This is another card that everyone made at my classes this month.  It is created using the awesome Ronald McDonald stamp set- 'Sprinkles of Life' & the coordinating punch (Tree Builder Punch).

Look closely at the image on the Blushing Bride card stock.....look at all of those little circles.  That is a new embossing folder called- Elegant Dots.

This is still one of my favorite new stamp sets in the catalog.  It is just so versatile! 

Note:  There is not a punch for the ice cream cone- so you have to cut it out with your Paper Snips.

We had a full day yesterday & got home early this morning from Columbus Junction.  It was double features (as a make up feature from a rain out a couple of weeks ago), plus the regular show.  Nathan won the first make up race!  Then he won his heat! And he got 2nd place in the 2nd main.  So it was a good night of racing!

Deke had a good birthday with the kids all here for lunch!  Then Susie's Hair Hut was open for business & Trey & Deke both got hair cuts too!

Brayden stayed with us last night, as Nathan & Sarah are headed to Des Moines early this morning to get a few things.  Today is Sarah's birthday & we are celebrating it together.  We'll meet them & her parents for lunch & then we're all going to a 3D Ultra Sound to see Masen.  

We'll head home to chore & then guys are headed to Eldon to race again if it doesn't get rained out.  I'll be staying home to stamp.  Woo Hoo- I have my big yearly scrapbooking class next weekend on Saturday, plus Masen's baby shower on Sunday & I have lots I need to create for these 2 events.

I hope you have a SENSATIONAL Saturday!
