'Daisy Delight'

 

This is a clean & simple card using the "Daisy Delight' stamp set & coordinating Daisy Punch.

Check out the pretty DSP that coordinates too.  It is called Delightful Daisy!  

It is bright & cheery too!

I did use my Paper Snips & fussy cut out the leaves that I tucked in behind the Daisy & stuck down with Glue Dots.  

I thought it needed something more too and didn't want to take away from the Daisy, so I add the staples on each end of the strip through the center.  

I think it turned out pretty cute!  Especially since I just used scraps laying on my counter.

Happy Birthday Thinlit!

WOW- check out this super cute Happy Birthday Thinlit!!!  I love it!!  It is a big size (just perfect for a card front) & it is a cool font too!  Oh, and it cuts out so easy too with the Big Shot!!

This is a card that I created as a sneak peek, at my Spring Fling the end of April.  

The gold dotted DSP is now retired.....it is from the Pop of Pink DSP in the 2016-2017 Annual Catalog, that retired on 5/31.

Check out the gold corners.  I just cut a 1" square & using my paper snips I cut it in 1/2 diagonally.  It just adds that extra splash of color doesn't it!

Yesterday was a bitter sweet day as the Wood family was all together- except for us all missing Dan....which was so hard.  His Celebration of Life was very nice- the service, the luncheon & then our time together on the farm afterwards.  There were lots of fond memories shared throughout the day.  And the little kids all made some new fond memories together riding gators, crafting, fishing, playing in the bubble machine & playing in the puddles of water after the rain.  

Today we will just hang out on the farm with family again........enjoying our time with our family that is here from Pennsylvania, before they have to go back to their homes.  

I hope you have a SUPER Sunday!
Happy Stamping!

Thursday night we went to Deke's brother Dan's Celebration of Life Service, at their church in Decatur, Illinois.  It was a beautiful tribute to him!  It was very sad, yet very comforting.  My sister-in-law Sheryl is an amazing person & she did an awesome job with sharing about Dan & their life.  He was such a great guy & he is greatly missed.

We have enjoyed our time spent with Deke's family the past couple of days.  Thursday night we all stayed in the same hotel & many of us stayed up late visiting.  We had breakfast together yesterday (Friday) morning & then all headed out on our drives back to Iowa.

Last night Deke & I went to Brayden's ball game.  His team won!  Manda, Steve, their 3 boys, Aunt Kathy, Sarah, Nathan, Masen, Sarah's parents & Brayden's Papa Mark were all there too.  

After the game , Deke & I ran over to the What Cheer cemetery & cut down some little trees growing in the ditch.  We came home, ate a late supper, got some things done around the house & finally called it a night.  We were both beat!

This morning we are up early.  Deke is off to chore & I'm going to do some cooking.  We'll then head out the door, as this morning we're having another Celebration of Life for Dan, here in Sigourney at the church.  And we'll spend the rest of our day/evening with The Wood family!!  

I hope you have a SPECIAL Saturday!!
Happy Stamping!

Yesterday was a fun & busy day with the boys.  In the morning we went to What Cheer to play in the park!!  They had so much fun!  It was a little chilly.....we wore coats & hats & were on the go!  Yesterday afternoon we played outside some again too.

Last night we went to Brayden's ballgame.  They won & did a great job.  And then we ate supper with everyone at the Mexican place afterwards.  When we got home I finalize orders & stamped!

This morning Deke is up early to chore & head to the office at the courthouse.  He then has a meeting this afternoon.  

I'm off early to go pick up Masen (as Nathan has an early meeting) & then I'll head to town to pick up the other 3 boys & spend my day with all of them. 

Tonight we are suppose to race in Osky- so I hope Mother Nature is good to us & we get to do that.   It will be fun that we all will be able to go together tonight!  I hope Nathan has good luck!!  I am sure it will be a late night, as there are extra racing classes with sprint cars & truck races too, added to the regular race classes of cars! 

Gotta run.....

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