Yesterday was a busy day with the 6 kids. Our house was literally pretty crazy! And then it started to snow!! Wow- we had huge snowflakes & they came down fast! Sarah & Manda got off of work a little early, so came to get the kids. And then I worked on stamping stuff all night.
This morning I'm up early to walk & head to town to get the boys. I'll bring them out to our house, as the other 3 kids will be here too. Then hopefully Deke can take the 3 big boys to school, as they have a 2 hour delay. Tonight I'll be stamping again.
I hope you have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!!
Happy Stamping!

Double 'Barn Door'
Check out these double barn doors!! I think this card is super cute!!
Wow- what a cool stamp set this is!! I was in love with it the first time I looked at the Occasions Catalog & just couldn't wait to find time to play with it! And oh I've been having fun creating with it!! I made 3 different cards using this stamp set. They are all the same colors, but totally different layouts! I'll be posting the others sometime soon for you to see too!
This card opens the double doors from in the front center! Isn't it cute!!!
Check out the hinges!!! All of the barn doors we have on our farm have hinges, so I made these using the middle triangle cut out from the hello frame, that I have hanging on the door. It worked perfectly!! Look at how I did that from the photos I have posted below.
Note: I had to cut 4 of these separately to get the 4 different hinges.
stamp set: 'Barn Door' & 'Perennial Birthday' (for the inside words)
card stock: Basic Black, Real Red, Whisper White, Crumb Cake
ink: Archival Basic Black
other: Big Shot, Magnetic Platform, Sliding Door Framelits Dies, 1/8" Real Red Ribbon, Dimensionals, Glue Dots, Cookie Cutter Builder Punch (little heart hanging on the Hello sign),

Yesterday was a long & busy day!! I was beat when I finally got home last night. I enjoyed my day stamping with everyone that joined me for my monthly N. Liberty class. Denise was a great hostess, with lots of yummy snacks. Everyone made 6 super cute cards!! And it was a fun time with friends!
Last night we went to Nathan & Sarah's for super & to watch the Super Bowl. I crashed when we got home.
This morning Deke is up early to chore & head to the office for his weekly board meeting. I'm up early to walk & then head to town to go get the boys. There is no school today, so I'll spend my day home with all of the kids. Drake wants to make Valentines!! So I'm sure we'll keep busy crafting! Especially if we went up getting the predicted snow that is headed our way!
Tonight Deke has a meeting in Fairfield....so after the kids all go home I plan to cut card stock & work on getting things ready for the other 4 monthly classes that I have coming up yet this week!

Another 'Beautiful Day' with Brusho!
Check it out!! It is clean, simple & pretty!!
After I got it all done I got to thinking- I can't believe I used orange & black together, as usually I think of those colors being for Halloween. But I think they look great together with this flower & it looks like spring!
How did I do it?
- I stamped this flower onto my Shimmery White card stock, using a Versamark ink pad.
- I added the White Embossing powder, tapped off the excess & heat set it.
- I colored this flower with Brusho by sprinkling some powder onto a clear block, using my Aqua Painter, picking up the color & coloring in the flower.
- I let it dry for about 15 minutes & then fussy cut it out using my Paper Snips.
card stock: Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black, Whisper White, Shimmery White
designer paper: Tutti-fruitti 6x6 DSP
ink: Archival Basic Black, Pear Pizzazz, Versamark pad
other: Aqua Painter, Black Twine, Triple Banner Punch, Paper Snips, Brusho, Dimensionals, Glue Dots, White Embossing Powder, Heat Tool

Yesterday was a busy day with kids, piggies & stamping!

Yesterday was a busy day with the 3 little ones. The 3 big ones road the bus here after school. The 3 Wood kids were here late, as Nathan & Sarah both had late meetings. Brayden was excited, as he got to go out & help Papa & see the baby piggies that came last Friday. They ate supper with us & when they went home I stamped!
This morning I'm off to walk & head to town. I'll take the twins to school & spend my morning with the 3 little ones. We get baby piggies again later today, so Sarah will come get their 2 kids whenever the trucker calls & says he'll be here. Trey will go out with Deke & I to work on the farm. Tonight when the kids are gone home I'll be a stamping fool!
I hope you have a FABULOUS Friday!!
Happy Stamping!

'Floral Statements'- WOW!!
This technique is called Black Magic!
How did I do it?
- Use the Embossing Buddy all over the Basic Black card stock.
- Stamped the image using a Versamark ink pad.
- Put White Embossing Powder over the entire stamped image, tapping off excess.
- Heat set the image using the Heat Tool.
- Color the images using the Stampin' Blends. I used Dark Cherry Cobbler for the roses & Dark Old Olive for the leaves/stems.
- I was careful to not get the Stampin' Blends onto the THANKS letters that I wanted to leave white.
- The Dark Stampin' Blends show up so much better than the lighter ones.
- If you get the Stampin' Blends onto one of the letters or someplace that you don't want it to be- you can use the Color Lifter to remove it.
- It is so easy to color when you use the Black card stock, as if you get outside the lines- onto the Black card stock- it doesn't show!
Check out the AWESOME new Embossing folder called- Petal Pairs, that I did along the edge of this card, using Old Olive card stock!!
And I added some of the 1/8" Real Red ribbon- that I doubled up & tied to put at the base of the stems.
stamp set: 'Floral Statements'
card stock: Basic Black, Old Olive, Real Red
ink: Versamark Pad
Stampin' Blends: Dark Cherry Cobbler & Dark Old Olive
other: Embossing Buddy, White Embossing Powder, Heat Tool, Real Red 1/8" Ribbon, Dimensionals, Glue Dots, Big Shot, Standard Plate, Petal Pair Embossing Folder
So what do you think? This is such a wow look & so easy to do!
Be sure you check back again soon. As I have 4 other cards I've made doing this technique with other stamp sets & colors! They are awesome too! I'll be doing a card using the technique at all of my February monthly stamp classes too!

Yesterday was a busy day with kids. Poor little Miss Ainslee hasn't been herself the past 2 days. I'm not sure what is up. I am wondering if she doesn't have ear infection. She has been cuddled & rocked alot this week. The boys road the bus here after school & grandma had warm chocolate chip bar cookies waiting for them. Masen thought he was starving & had a hard time waiting for the big boys to get here before he got to eat his cookie. He actually got a kitchen chair, pulled it up to the counter top where the pan of bars were.... (thankfully I had them cut & had a spatula laying there too), he got out his own bar cookie out of the pan & headed to the little table in the family room to eat it. It was precious & I was so shocked that he is getting big enough to do something like this all on his own!! When everyone went home I stamped last night & did laundry!
This morning I'm up early to walk & then go to town to get the boys up, read & drop them off at school. I'll spend my day with the 3 little ones here at our home. The 3 big boys will be here after school too. When everyone goes home I'll spend my night again stamping!
I hope you have a very special Thursday!!
Happy Stamping!!

'Beautiful Day' with Brusho!!
I've been playing some more with Brusho!! And having lots of FUN! There are just endless possibilities when using it!
Check out this clean & simple, yet- very pretty card!
Oh & look closely at the Whisper White card stock layer.....I used one of the pretty new Petal Pair (flower image) Embossing Folder. You can find this on pg. 23 in the Occasions Catalog.
Check out this flower!! What do you think? I colored it using the Brusho powders & an Aqua Painter.
How did I do it?
card stock: Pear Pizzazz, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White, Shimmery White
designer paper: Tutti-frutti 6x6 DSP
ink: Versamark & Archival Basic Black
other: White Embossing Powder, Heat Tool, Paper Snips, Brusho, Aqua Painter, Clear Block, Dimensionals, Big Shot, Standard Platform, Petal Pair Embossing Folder (flower image)
These are the 5 different colors of Brusho!
IMPORTANT TO KNOW: You just take a tack pin & poke one hole in the top of each lid & use them like you would a salt shaker! Store them with the tack pin left in them. DO NOT TAKE THE LID OFF OR OPEN IT......as the Brusho is a very fine powder & it will poof all over & make a huge mess.

(Gosh- don't look at my messy grid paper- I didn't realize it was that bad- sorry!)
- Using my Aqua Painter I added a little water with the Brusho powder & then colored my flowers.
- NOTE: I did use a Pear Pizzazz ink pad- by squishing the ink onto the ink pad cover & picking it up with my Aqua Painter to color the leaves.
- I used the circle make up pad that I bought at the dollar store to lightly pick up some extra water in some spots.
- I then let my flowers air dry for about 30 mins.
- I then took my Paper Snips & fussy cut out the flowers.

Yesterday was a busy day with pigs, kids & stamping! Our baby piggies are so cute!! Thankfully the weather was really nice, other than it was SUPER windy!
Today I'm home....working on my piles of bookwork, stamping & tax stuff. I hope I get tons done today & tomorrow. Deke has a full weekend of working on the farm, playing catch up there too!!
Tonight we hope to make a quick trip to Menards to exchange my stove exhaust hood that I got for Christmas, pick up a few groceries & maybe eat supper at our favorite place- Boogies in Albia, as we got a gift certificate from some of our dear friends to eat there.
Our kids are all headed to "Fun City" for a weekend of fun in Burlington. We aren't able to go with them- but we are looking forward to hearing all about their weekend venture when they get home.
Gotta run......
I hope you have a SENSATIONAL Saturday!!
Happy Stamping!
Hugs-

That's when we will throw a 'competition caution' and stop the voting engines.Then Wednesday morning we will reveal the final five in each division that will race for the championship. At that time, everyone will only be able to vote for one driver (once every 24 hours) until Thursday at 5:00 PM.
We will crown our champions in all five divisions and the 'Grand Champion' Friday morning.
