'Painted Season'

I LOVE it!  Check it out!  This is another card I made with the NEW Level 2 Sale-a-bration choice called- Painted Season'.  I just love the way it turned out!!!

This card is bright & cheery- which is something we can all use right now with the terrible winter weather we have had lately.

When I made this card I stamped a whole sheet of 8 1/2 x 11" Whisper White card stock & then cut it up!  Check out how I did it!

           1.  I stamped the flowers first.

          2.  I stamped the leaves.  First I did the larger ones & then added some of the smaller ones.

          3.  I stamped the little dots as a fill in randomly all over the sheet to finish it!

Here is a close up of it!  Check out how the stamp is a dis'ink'tive type.  This means that there are light & dark images all in one stamp!  This flower looks like it was stamped multiple times to get this look doesn't it.  Nope- it is all done just once!  And that is pretty darn awesome!!

With a One Sheet Wonder- you can cut the images into as many different pieces & sizes that you want.  Here are the different sizes I decided to cut this sheet into to make 7 different cards.  There is just a tiny bit on the end that I'm not using!  

You can do a One Sheet Wonder with any stamp set, any colors & cut it any way you want to do it.  There is no right or wrong way to do it!  Stamping the images all on one sheet like this at a time is just lots of fun & simplifies things when you are wanting to make multiple cards with the same design. 

So what do you think?  Pretty cool huh!  This is an OLDIE but a GOODIE technique to do when you want to do a collage style stamping with images. 

I just think that this turned out great & is a beautiful card!  

Oh- I used the NEW Stitched Rectangle Framelits with it too!

Yesterday morning we were suppose to sell 2 loads of hogs, but due to the terrible icy gravel roads & county pavement- we rescheduled them for next week.  So Deke worked on the farm all day & I had  a busy day with kids.  Trey & I made his Valentines while Masen & Ainslee napped yesterday afternoon. Then Masen & I made his Valentines when he got up.  They both turned out super cute & I'll post photos of them sometime to share.  Nathan & Sarah are gone, so the 3 Wood kids spent the night with us.  By the time we got everything all done & everyone ready for bed I was beat!  

This morning Brayden & Masen are going with their Grandpa Doug to Des Moines to State Wrestling to watch a cousin of Sarah's wrestle.  I'll spend my day with Trey & Ainslee.  Trey needs a hair cut, so hopefully we get that done.   And then we'll see what else we get done.  Tonight when the 2 Wood boys get home from Des Moines they are going to have a slumber party at the Seeley's home & Ainslee will stay home with grandma & papa.  

I hope you have a FABULOUS Friday!!
Happy Stamping!

Look closely at the embossed hearts. How did I do that?  I used the Be Mine Stitched Framelits Dies, along with my Embossing Mat!!!  The Embossing Mats are awesome & work with any of your framelits- turning them into embossed images!!

Yesterday was a long day!!!  We were up really early.......and on the go.  Me & all 6 kids were together for awhile yesterday morning since school was delayed.  It was then late when Deke finally got in last night from working on the farm.  (And I hate cooking supper & eating really late too!)  This cold winter weather is getting us all down!  It is so hard on those that have to work out in & it is brutal for the poor animals too.  

Speaking of cold & animals I want to share this.......my heart was very sad last night when Deke said he heard on the radio how 40 head of cattle in Iowa were found dead due to weather & neglect.  They starved & froze to death.  Oh my gosh!!  I know how hard it is to have to work out in the cold.  And I know how much extra work it is to have to do this or that to get something done with this weather, when that is normally not that difficult.  Maybe that farmer couldn't get to his cattle due to the bad roads, piles of snow, maybe he didn't have any extra bales of hay to feed them?  Whatever the reason is- it still just breaks my heart for those poor animals & I can't believe that something somehow couldn't have been done for them.  They should not have died.  And then this makes me think of the many poor people all over that don't have food, clothing & someone to care for them too.  It sure makes me think about things & count my blessings- big and small!

This morning we'll be up bright & early again.  I want to hurry & walk & Deke is off to chore.  As Nathan & Sarah will be bringing their kids at 7- they are leaving on a trip to Wisconsin to snowmobile.  So we will have their kids for the next few days.  Deke will come back in & stay here with Masen & Ainslee while I go to town to get the Seeley boys & take Brayden, Brody & Drake to school & come back out home with Trey to spend my day with the 3 little ones.  

The maintainer finally got over our road late yesterday!!!  Woo Hoo!!  The snow drifts hopefully won't drift again over night.  The ice is still there- so they are still super slick!  HOPEFULLY it warms up some & melts some of the ice before we get the next round of predicted snow. 

Gotta run.......I hope you have a GREAT Valentines Day!!
Happy Stamping!

Yesterday was a totally messed up day!  I got up early to walk & enter orders.  We then shoveled & moved snow 2 times & it drifted right back in.  It was blowing so hard it was a total white out.  The gravel roads are the worst I've ever seen in the 35 yeas I've lived here.  Deke said that the highways were even awful!  Some of my friends messaged to say that the interstates were the worst they had been all winter & there were cars, trucks & semi's in the ditches everywhere.  Wow- what a rotten Iowa winter. 

I finally found time to work on some stamping stuff again last night for awhile.  

This morning Deke is up early to chore & head to Mt. Pleasant for a meeting.  I hope he doesn't have bad roads making the long drive.  I'm up to walk & go to town to stay with the kids.  As of right now school is delayed 2 hours & hard surface routes only- so we'll see if it gets cancelled again or not.  I might have 3 kids or 6 kids today????  

I hope you have a WONDERFUL Wednesday!!

Happy Stamping!

Yesterday was a fun day with the kids!  School got out early due to the snow, so it was just Masen & Ainslee here in the afternoon.  When they went home I worked on stamping stuff & entering orders.  

This morning I'm up early to walk & I have no clue what the day will bring!  School cancelled already last night- due to the snow & sleet we have gotten for the past 12 hours or so.  Ughh.....I'm so tired of this winter.  And I know everyone else is too.

So I might have all 6 kids & I might only have 3?  We'll see what the day brings!

I hope you have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!!

Happy Stamping!

'Hello Cupcake'

Didn't it turn out just so cute!  This is one of the cards that everyone attending my February monthly classes will be making with me!

Yesterday was quite the day!  The predicted snow didn't come quiet as early as it was suppose to- so I had good roads all of the way to Cedar Rapids.  So that was great!!  It started snowing about 10:00- right when my first class was starting.  The snow ended about 1:00 when my 2nd class was starting.  Thankfully almost everyone made it to both classes.  We all had a great time visiting & stamping the day away!!  Cheryl & Becky had great snacks & were awesome hostesses that did a super job helping me with everything.  We got all done & cleaned up just in time!  I had a long drive home though.....as it was drizzling & the roads were a little slick.  But I made it fine- it was just slow going.  I'm so ready for this crappy winter to be over with!

As of now school is on regular time for today.  The buses are going to be running on hard surfaces only though- which is good since the gravel roads are so terribly slick.  

Deke is off early to chore & head to the courthouse for his weekly board meeting.  I'm up early to walk on the treadmill & be at Manda's by 7:30, as she has a meeting before school.  I'll take the twins to school & then spend my day with the 3 little ones.  Tonight the 3 big boys will be here after school too.  

Tonight when everyone has gone home I'll be placing orders & working on stamping stuff!

I hope you have a MARVELOUS Monday!! 

Happy Stamping!

Yesterday was a long day!  We started our early with selling hogs.  Thankfully the trucker got here safely & back out too.  Deke put alot of sand on our hog house drive & gravel road & hills- so that helped a ton.  We sell 2 loads on Thursday morning, so now need to get another dump truck of sand delivered incase we need it.

I literally stamped all day/night yesterday!  And was just beat last night.  

I'm off early this morning for Hiawatha!  I'll spend my day there stamping with everyone joining me.  They have some super cute cards to make!!  I am looking forward to our day together!

Gotta run.........

A Sneak Peek with 'Painted Seasons'!

On February 15th, 2019- the 2nd Release Sale-a-bration products are released.  Check out this bright & pretty card I made using the NEW 'Painted Seasons' set!

For this card I did an 'oldie, but a good' technique!!  Years ago (19) when I started stamping we didn't have the Big Shot, Embossing Folders and we had very few designer papers.  So we did a technique called- One Sheet Wonder' where you stamp a whole sheet of 8 1/2 x 11" card stock & then cut it up & use it on multiple cards.  So this is one of the cards I made when I cut up my One Sheet of card stock that I had randomly stamped!

This card is a fun Z fold card.  Here is what it looks like when it is standing up.  

Are you wondering how I got the dots in the center of flower?  I used my Early Espresso ink pad & a well inked sponge dauber.  I did have to ink the center 2 times to get the circle this dark.  

Check out this NEW Punch too!  It is called Story Label Punch! It will be available on March 1st to order for $18.00. 

stamp set;  

• 'Dear Doily' - words 
• Painted Seasons'- available 2/15/19- Level 2 Sale-a-bration choice- free with a $100 products order.  You also get a 12x12 pg of dsp with this stamp set Level 2 choice!

Yesterday I just had Masen & Ainslee for the day!  It was a busy one.....they are on the go all of the time.  Last night I worked on stamping stuff......getting swaps ready, happy mail made & cutting for upcoming classes.  My kitchen island was piled high with projects when I finally quit & went to bed.

We are up early at 5:00 this morning to mark, sort & load hogs.  Deke put tons of sand all over our hog house drive, road, hills, etc......as we have a thick glaze of hard ice & it is super slick!  I pray that the semi gets here fine & doesn't have any problems on our gravel road.

I was suppose to have 2 stamp classes here today at our home.  I decided for everyone safety to reschedule them for next Saturday!  Our roads, driveway, etc.....is just too slick to risk anyone being out on them- going in the ditch, or falling & getting hurt. 

So I'll spend my day cutting cardstock as tomorrow is my monthly classes in CR.  I have a group joining me for the morning session & a group joining me for the afternoon session.  Becky & Cheryl are my hostesses this month!  We are suppose to get 1-3" of snow tonight & tomorrow morning.  I pray that the roads aren't slick, I make the 1 1/2 hour road trip to CR & that everyone joining me makes it to class & back home safely too!  Maybe we'll be lucky & the weather people will be wrong!!! 

Gotta run.....
I hope you have a SENSATIONAL Saturday!!
Happy Stamping!

Yesterday we had freezing rain & ice and school ended up being cancelled.  So I only had the 2 little Wood kids.  And thankfully their parents made it home safely from New Orleans & they went home last night.  So I burnt the night cutting card stock!!!

Today will be a crazy day.  School is cancelled again due to the cold & ice!  So I'll have all of the kids.  We'll have to figure out things to keep us busy!

I hope you have a FABULOUS Friday!!
Happy Stamping!

Yesterday was a busy day with kids.  The twins were here after school for awhile too!  When the Seeley boys were gone home, Masen, Ainslee & I made a quick trip to Osky to deposit our hog check.  We picked up a Pizza Ranch Pizza for supper & called it a night.  We were all beat!!

This morning school is delayed for 2 hours.....as of now due to the freezing rain.  So I'm not sure what the day will bring!  

Nathan & Sarah are suppose to get home tonight.......so hopefully they will make it with the predicted snow coming later today too.  Tonight I have LOTS of card stock cutting to get done & things ready for my 4 stamp classes I have this weekend!

Gotta run.
I hope you have a GREAT Thursday!!
Happy Stamping!
