'Count My Blessings'

This is a clean & simple fall card that I created for my September monthly classes.  The Painted Autumn designer paper is just gorgeous- every single sheet of it!!  And it has endless possibilities when creating with it. 

I used the cool Woodland Embossing Folder with it too.  I thought was a nice added touch. 

And this stamp set is a totally my style too.  It is called 'Count My Blessings'.  The stamp images & the font for the words are great, but the wording itself is awesome! 

This is a simple z fold card, just to make it a little different than a normal fold card.  

This card could be a great All Occasions card- guy card, birthday card, Thanksgiving card, sympathy card, etc.  Don't you think?

Yesterday was a busy day with kids.  Masen & Ainslee are staying with us too, as Nathan & Sarah are both gone for work.  

 

This morning I'm off to the Seeley's.  I'll take the twins to school & spend my day with the 3 littler ones again.  Tonight the 3 big boys have flag football games- that we'll be going to.  When we get home I'll be working on stamping stuff, getting ready for my October monthly classes & my upcoming Christmas Stamp A Stack classes.

We had a BUSY, LONG, HOT DAY yesterday.  After I took the twins to school, Trey & I ran errands- to the recycling center & the grocery store.  We then spent the rest of the day working on the farm, as the semi got here at 11:00.  Thankfully Deke had just gotten home his meeting.  Trey was our little farmer boy helping us & he was a trooper.  He helped & did a great job of being a big boy!!  We just love our baby piggies!!  They are just so stinkin' cute!  

This morning I'm off to the Seeleys', will run the boys to school & head home to spend my day with Trey, Masen & Ainslee.  Deke will be home to work on the farm all day!  The 2 Wood kids are staying with us tonight, as Nathan & Sarah are both gone for their jobs.  Sarah told me last night that Masen is all excited that he is having a slumber party at Grandma & Papa's.  

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

These Coffee Cup Framelits are just so cool!!!  I am a big coffee drinker & so I just love them & the coordinating stamp sets that go with them!  They just have so many possibilities.  It is awesome that Stampin' Up! has coordinated this new Holiday Catalog stamp set- 'Merry Cafe' to go along with them too!

Yesterday was another busy day of stamping!!!  I enjoyed another awesome day of stamping with those attending my Halloween Treats class here at our home.  We all had a great time visiting & stamping & sharing together!!!  

Last night the Seeley family brought out pizza for us to eat supper together.  Steve & Deke flew Steve's drone over our corn field, as the neighbors cows got into it & they were getting photos for the insurance company.  The boys had fun playing on the swing set.  We then went through the closets & found old Nintendo games for Steve & the boys to take home & play with.  I'm not sure who was more excited- Steve or the boys!  

This morning I'm off to take the twins to school & Trey will spend his day with me.  Deke is off early to chore & then he has his weekly board meeting this morning.  He hopes to be home before noon, as we have baby piggies coming today!  Masen & Ainslee are going to their other grandma's for the day, as they aren't big enough yet to spend the whole afternoon/evening outside on the farm with me when I have to help Deke.  I hope Trey has fun getting to be the only little farmer helping us today.

Hoping today is a MARVELOUS Monday for you!!
Happy Stamping!

I want to send out a special thanks to Ruth for being my right hand at all of our Hiawatha classes, as I don't know what I'd do without her always there to help me with everything there.  And I am sending a special thanks to Andrea, Jenny & Teri for helping us clean up & load my car after the Halloween Treats class was over with!  They are usually my group that helps me at my N. Liberty Group each month & I also so appreciate them always being there too.  What is that old saying that my Grandma use to say- "Many hands make less work".  I have many other friends that help me at my different classes throughout the year & I appreciate & treasure each & every one of them!  I am truly blessed!

This morning I'm gearing up for my Halloween Treats Class that I'm having here at our home today.  I am looking forward to seeing those that are joining me & can't wait to share & stamp with them!

Yesterday was a busy day with the kids.  Brayden & Drake had good football games.  Deke's sister, Darci came down to watch them- so that was nice to get to see her! When we got home I worked on stamping stuff all night.

Detailed Gate Thinlits Dies- Halloween card

Here is a pretty cool new Halloween stamp set- 'Graveyard Gate' & coordinating thinlits dies- Detailed Gate!!  They are in the back of the Holiday Catalog on page 54 & can be purchased separately or as a bundle.  Check out how pretty & detailed this gate is.  Neat huh!  It doesn't just have to be for Halloween either.  Can't you just see a wreath hanging from it on a Christmas card?  Or a pot of flowers sitting next to it?  I can think of lots of other ideas & hope I have time in the coming weeks to get to play with this a little more. 

This card is one of the Halloween card I created for my upcoming Halloween Treats classes.  

The gate is taller, but I cut about 2" off of the bottom of it, so that I could have more of the spooky sky showing on my card front.  

Oh- and I used the neat 'Marbled' background stamp to give the sky a swirly (spooky) look!  

I also added bats & the gravestones (behind the fence).  And then the padlock on the gate is kinda neat too & finishes off the whole theme of the card. 

stamp sets:  'Marbled' background, 'Graveyard Gate'
card stock:  Basic Black, Smoky Slate, Whisper White (for inside greeting), Silver Foil
ink:  Archival Basic Black, Smoky Slate
other:  Big Shot, Magnetic Platform, Precision Plate, Detailed Gate Thinlits Die, Seasonal Tags Framelits Dies (for the bat), 1 1/2" Circle Punch, Black Rhinestones, Dimensionals

This morning Deke is off early to chore & head to the office for his weekly board meeting.  I'm off to go pick up the boys, take the twins to school & spend my day with Trey, Masen & Ainslee.  I am praying that they all have a healthy week this week & we don't have to make any trips to the dr. with sick kids!

Tonight when the kids go home I'll be a card stock cutting fool!!!  I have LOTS of projects to get cut this week, for my upcoming Halloween Treats classes that I have this coming weekend.

Yesterday was a busy day with kids.  And Ainslee was sick again.  Deke had a meeting yesterday morning, but thankfully he stayed home with the 2 littler boys in the afternoon & I just had to take one kid with me.  Ainslee's ear infection is cleared up, but she was running a temp & has a red throat & a little rash.  Her dr. said she thought it was just viral, so no meds.  We'll see.......she sure was a crab.  Poor baby!  You could tell that she didn't feel well at all.  We just can't win with having healthy kids lately!  Maybe next week will be our lucky week!  We need it- that is forsure. 

So when the kids were gone last night I burnt the midnight oil stamping!!  I'm working on finishing up all of the projects for my upcoming Halloween Treats Classes that I am having next weekend.  They are all SO CUTE!!!  I will be sharing them here on my blog the next couple of weeks, so be sure you stop by the check them all out!

Today I'll be home all day (& hopefully alone).  Deke has power washing to get done in the grower & I have LOTS of card stock that I have to get cut.  Tomorrow is my monthly group in Hiawatha & I am looking forward to seeing everyone & spending my day there stamping with them.

I hope you have a SENSATIONAL Saturday!
Happy Stamping!
