'Something for Baby'

Here is my baby boy card from my "All Occasions" Card class.

Yesterday was a LONG day!  It started out early with pigs & then enjoyed all of my boys for the day.  Last night Deke & I went to Cale's visitation.  It was just so heartbreaking!  There was a huge crowd.  We stood in line for along time.

I worked on stamping stuff when we got home.

This morning we are up early again & outside at 5:00 a.m.- to mark, sort & load hogs again.  There is no school for Sigourney today, due to Cale's funeral being at the school.  So I'll just have Masen this morning & then I'll keep the other 3 boys while Manda, Steve & Nathan go to the funeral.

Deke is headed into the courthouse for the morning & then he has a meeting this afternoon in Frytown.  

Tonight I'll be working on stamping stuff again!

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

Yesterday was a busy day with all of my boys!  We made some cute little Easter Bunny bags.....I took pictures of them.  I'll get them downloaded & share them sometime in the next week or so. 

Brayden was here after school yesterday too.  It is always fun when they are all together!  

When the boys went home last night I worked on stamping stuff all night!  

This morning we are up early at 5 to head outside to work on the farm- marking, sorting & loading hogs.  Hopefully the trucker is on time & get done by 7:15, so I can get there in time to pick up the boys.  I'll spend my day with all 4 of them.

Tonight Deke & I will be going to Cale Jarmes visitation.  He was only 15 years old & was killed in a car accident last week.  His brother was badly injuried.  And Joe Snakenberg was killed too (his visitation was Sunday night that we attended).  Their tragic accident was such a huge shock & so heartbreaking to our community.  My heart just breaks for these families!  Going to a visitation isn't ever easy to do, but attending this one is going to be really hard! 

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

Yesterday was a great day of stamping with everyone!!  My hostess Kathy had a cute table decorated with an Easter tree & bunnies, along with some great snacks.  I want to give a shout out to Teri, Laura, Dena, Brooke, Jenny, Jan & Andrea for helping us to set up & clean up too!! I appreciate them more than they know!!

Last night I headed straight home from my class to meet Deke & Manda.  We all went to a friend- Joe Snakenberg's visitation.  There was a huge crowd & we saw lots of friends we hadn't seen for awhile.  Joe was killed in a semi accident last Monday, so please keep his family in your prayers. 

This morning Deke is off to chore & head to the office for his weekly board meeting.  I'm off to go pick up all of my boys & spend the day with all 4 of them.  I have some projects planned for us to get done this week.....as I promised Drake we'd do them this week! 

Tonight after the boys go home I hope to get caught up on bookwork & placing orders!  Deke has a meeting tonight in Fairfield, so I'll be home alone.  Hopefully we can be in bed early (for us), as we have to get up really early tomorrow morning to load hogs again. 

Gotta run.....
I hope you have a MARVELOUS Monday!!
Happy Stamping!

Drake & Brayden both scored.  And then burning the midnight oil last night cutting card stock.  

This morning I'll finish getting things packed up & loaded in my car.  I'll be headed out to N.

It was a short night......as Deke & I are up & outside on the farm at 4:00 this morning- to mark, sort & load hogs.  I have to be at the Seeley's as soon as I'm done helping Deke with the pigs, as today is soccer picture day.  Seeley Photography is taking the photos- so their 3 boys will be with me today!  Deke & I will take the twins in for their pictures at 10 & then they have a soccer game at 10:30.  Brayden has pictures at 11 & then he has a soccer game at 11:30.  We'll be there to watch all boys play at their soccer games.

Gray is a neutral color & is always a good one to use.  (It was actually one of our wedding colors!)

Did you notice how I shadow stamped the flowers onto the Smoky Slate (gray) background piece on the front of the card to give it dimension? And then I added the rhinestones, lace doily, silver foil & Silver metallic ribbon to make it elegant & give it bling!

It was late last night when Masen left.  Deke, Nathan & Brayden worked in the shop on the race car.  After everyone was gone I spent the rest of my night stamping away!  

We have an early morning & busy day today!  I'm off to go pick up all of the boys this morning.  I'll take Brayden, Brody & Drake to school & spend my day with Trey & Masen.

Tonight......not sure what we are doing.  We are planning to go to the races, but if they get rained out, we'll just go out for supper with all of our family & come home to cut card stock!  

I hope you have a FABULOUS Friday!
Happy Stamping!

'In The Meadow'- a great guy card!

This is another one of the cards that I designed for my 'All Occasions' Card Classes.  

Check out the leaves on this tree!  How did I do them?

• I used a pencil eraser!! (Make sure you use a brand new pencil eraser so that it is perfectly round & clean.)
• I used the pencil eraser just like it was a stamp.  I inked it up by putting it into my Garden Green ink pad.
• And then pushed it onto the card stock/over the tree branches to make the leaves!!  
• I stamped with the inked eraser 3-4 times (shadow stamping) to get the darker to lighter shades of the Garden Green.

So what do you think?  Isn't it a great guy card!  I thought it could be used for many different occasions.

Here are the supplies & the measurements that I used to make this card-
stamp sets:  'In the Meadow' & 'Wetlands'
card stock: 

• Early Espresso- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2", 2 1/2" strip, 2 1/2 x 3 1/2"
• Garden Green- 2" strip, 4 1/4 x 3 1/4"
• Whisper White- 2" strip, 3 1/4 x 2 1/4", 4 x 5 1/4" (for the inside of the card)

ink:  Garden Green & Chocolate Chip
other:  1 3/4" Circle Punch, 1 1/2" Circle Punch, Decorative Label Punch, Dimensionals, 
And a NEW (never used) Pencil (to use the eraser to make the dots for the leaves)

Which one of these In Colors is my favorite color?  Humm.....that is a really hard one to answer.  I know I LOVE the Mint Macaron & the Watermelon Wonder- although I really like the other 3 colors too.  Honestly- I will be sad to see all of these colors leave.  I am just hoping I like the New 2017-2019 In Colors half as much as I like these retiring In Colors!

I enjoyed my day with Trey yesterday.  I think he likes being alone with Grandma- as that doesn't happen too often.  Brayden & the twins were here for awhile after school too.  The boys played outside for awhile (even though it was chilly).  After they were all gone home, I worked on stamping stuff all evening. 

This morning I am off to go pick up all of my boys!  We'll take Brayden to school, run some errands in town & then head out to our house for the day.  Deke is home to work on the farm all day today, so it will be nice to have him home to eat lunch with us.  Tonight when the boys go home I'll be a stamping fool!  

Gotta run.....

I hope you have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!!   

Happy Stamping!

And I want to thank Sandy, Christy & Janeen for helping Ruth & me clean up too!  Plus- "a big thanks" to Sandy for bringing the water & ice for me too!  Wow- I had a car load & I don't think I could have squeeze another thing into it.

'Strength & Prayers'

This is a clean & simple sympathy card that everyone attending my 'All Occasions' card classes will be making!  

I had a hard time trying to decide what colors to use for this card.  The sample in the Annual Catalog is totally different than my card, but it was done in these colors......so that is what my inspiration!

Here are the supplies & the measurements that I used:

Yesterday was a full day with all of my boys!  Drake & Brody love creating!!  I'd hate to guess how much tape & how many zip lock baggies Drake used.  But I love that they are learning to read & write.  Their creativity & skills amaze me!

Brayden was here after school too!  The boys played outside for a little while, even though it was windy & cold.  When the Seely boys left, I took Brayden out to ride in the tractor a couple of rounds with Papa.  When the boys were all gone, I burnt the midnight oil cutting card stock!!  And Deke burnt the midnight oil working in the field.

This morning Deke is off to chore & he'll work in the field until it starts raining.  I'm off to go pick up the boys.  I'll take the twins to pre-school & spend my day with Trey & Masen.  When the boys leave tonight I'll be cooking, getting things finished up & load my car- so that I'm ready to head out early tomorrow morning for Hiawatha!!!  I'm excited about my big day of stamping with everyone!! 

Gotta run.......

I hope you have a FABULOUS Friday!!

Happy Stamping!
