My whole day/night was busy with kids.  By the time we got done with supper, baths, etc....and everyone was in bed- I ran up to Nathan's to let their dog out, feed & kennel for the night.

This morning we will be up early & off to town, school & then spend my day with the 3 little ones.  The 3 big boys will ride the bus here after school.  Manda is going to stay with all the kids for awhile, so that Steve & I can help Deke sort hogs outside.  We'll then do supper, baths, homework, etc.....

This week is going to be a crazy one.  Somehow, sometime- I've got LOTS of card stock to get cut for my big All Occasions card class that I have on Saturday! 

Gotta run.
I hope you have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!

Happy Stamping!

'Painted Seasons' Bundle!

So- this card is totally out of my normal color combo.  But I love the way it turned out!

I used the 'Painted Seasons' bundle for this card.  The Bundle (stamp set & DSP) is a Level 2 SAB item that you can get for FREE with a $100 product order.  Or you can get just the DSP, as a Level 1 SAB choice for FREE with a $50 product order. 

This was the last card (#20) that I designed for my All Occasions classes.  I was totally not going to do this with it.  I had another card layout & color combination that I was going to do.  I then decided I had enough of this DSP & wanted to use it!  So this is what I ended up whipping up!  Isn't it pretty! 

If you look closely- can you see the 3 flowers I stamped in the upper right & lower left corners with the 'Painted Seasons' succulent flower stamp image!  It is a tone on tone with the Shaded Spruce ink onto the Shaded Spruce card stock.

Yesterday was a busy day trying to catch up!  I had a zillion emails & things to do.  I got alot done, but not near enough. 

This morning I'm up early to get things moved & picked up so I'm ready for kids.  I'll then head to town to get Trey & spend my day with the 3 little ones.  The 3 big boys will ride the bus out after school today. 

Deke is off early to chore & head to the courthouse for his weekly board meeting.

Nathan & Sarah are gone this week, so we have their 3 kids all week.  And I have LOTS & LOTS of card stock to get cut for my upcoming All Occasions Card Class that I have this coming Saturday!  So I'll burn the midnight oil cutting after I get the kids to bed.

I hope you have a MARVELOUS Monday!!

More butterflies, using Botanical Butterfly DSP!

I am using the Botanical Butterfly DSP again!!   You can get it for free during Sale-a-bration with a $50 product order.  

On this black & white card I added some Lovely Lipstick accents to it for a splash of color!

How did I do it?
Put the 4 x 3" piece of DSP into your Paper Cutter & along the 3" edge- cut downwards, making 3- 1" strips.  You then want to line up your strips so that the butterflies still are shown correctly.  Then adhere these strips to the Basic Black Piece- leaving about a 1/8" gap between each strip, so that the black shows through.  
NOTE:  I adhere the 2 outside pieces first so that I have even spacing around the outside edges & then put the one in the middle on last. 

stamp set:  'Label Me Pretty'
card stock:

• Thick Whisper White- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 4 1/4" for the card base
• Whisper White- 1 1/2" strip- stamp words on & punch out with the 1 1/4" Circle Punch; 4 x 5 1/4"- to stamp words on for the inside greeting

'Dear Doily'

 When I first saw this bundle in the Occasions Catalog I loved it!  Old fashioned/antique/versatile!

And I'm just using it for the first time.  This was such a popular bundle that the Framelits are now sold out!  But you can still get the stamp set.  So I created this clean/simple & pretty card for my upcoming 40 card class using it!

I used Merry Merlot & Sahara Sand card stock.  I just love the detail in the doily- wow!

stamp set:  'Dear Doily'

card stock:

• Merry Merlot- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2- score at 4 1/4, fold in half for card base; 3 3/4 x 1"; 2 3/4" strip
• Sahara Sand- 5 x 3 3/4"
• Whisper White-4 3/4 x 3 1/2"; 4 3/4 x 3 1/2"- for inside of the card; 2 3/4" strip to stamp words on & punch them out using the 2 1/4" Circle Punch

ink:  Merry Merlot

other:  Metallic Pearls, 2 1/4" Circle Punch, Big Shot, Magnetic Platform, Layering Circle Framelits, Dimensionals

Check out this card below......we don't currently have any Merry Merlot ribbon that coordinates with it- but I have some retired that was in the Holiday Catalog.  So I added it here!  What do you think?  I am a ribbon girl I guess- it just adds that finishing touch to it.  OH- and I sprayed on a little champagne shimmer paint too to make it sparkle!  (You can't see that in the photo, but it is sure pretty in person!)

++++++++++

Yesterday was a busy day with kids & then burning the midnight oil stamping!

Today is a repeat day- I'll spend my day today with the 3 little ones & then burn the midnight oil cutting card stock:

Deke is off early to chore this morning & head to his office at the courthouse.

I hope you have a WONDERFUL Wednesday!

Happy Stamping!

'Butterfly Gala'

Well......this is a totally Susie card.  It is black & white & I really like the way it turned out!  What do you think?

Look at the ribbon.  I slid in a piece of the Polka Dot Tulle ribbon over the top of the Black Satin ribbon, when I was tying it in a knot.  I looks good!  And it was so easy to do!

My original thought was to color this Botanical Butterfly DSP (FREE Sale-a-bration choice with a $50 product purchase) with some of my stamping blends.  But as I got this card together I decided I liked it best just being all black & white!  It is very striking just this way!

I used my Paper Snips to flag the ends of the Basic Black strip!

This is another one of the cards for my upcoming All Occasions card classes!  

stamp set:  'Butterfly Gala'
card stock:

• Basic Black- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 4 1/4", fold in half for card base; 5 x 1/2"- flag both end with Paper Snips; 3 1/4 x 1 1/4"

Yesterday was a busy day with the kids.  When everyone went home last night I burnt the midnight oil stamping!

This morning I'm off to get Trey & spend my day with the 3 little ones.  The school bus is back on normal routes- so that is good news, so the twins will ride the bus here after school.  Tonight when the kids go home I'll be burning the midnight oil again stamping!  Deke has a meeting tonight.  He is going with our county engineer to the Farm Bureau meeting. 

Gotta run.....

I hope you have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!!

Both of these products are in the Occasions Catalog.

I am a more detailed stamper that loves fun folds, lots of layers & embellishments!  For this class the cards are still super cute, but a basic fold & not tons of layers.  It is a stamp-a-stack class where everyone makes 20 different cards (2 of each).  So they all go home with a whole bag of completed 'All Occasion' cards.  This is my most popular class of the year & I am excited about stamping & sharing with everyone that is joining me!!

Yesterday I literally stamped all day!

Deke is up early this morning to chore & head to the office for his weekly board meeting.  I'm up early to stamp before I go to get Trey.  I'll then spend my day with the 3 little ones.  The buses are still on hard surface routes, so one of us will go pick up the boys after school.  When everyone goes home tonight I'll be stamping!  I have lots of stamping & cutting to get done this week!  Praying I have good mojo again tonight.

I hope you have a MARVELOUS Monday!

Happy Stamping!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Wishing you lots of luck on this St. Patrick's day!!!

Here is a fun card that I made on Friday night just for this holiday!  So what do you think!

I used the 'Amazing Life' stamp set that includes the words, the shamrocks & the little dots- that I used here.

Yesterday was a full day that started out working on the farm & selling hogs!  And then a house full to stamp with me in the morning & more in the afternoon!  

Then last night Deke & I went to Bogies for a quick supper & then I burnt the midnight oil stamping!

I will be stamping all day today- praying I have good mojo!!  I have LOTS to get done for my big 'Annual All Occasions' class I have next weekend.

Gotta run!
Happy Stamping!

Simple Saturday!

It is a Saturday, so I'm making this quick & simple!

With St. Patrick's Day tomorrow I decided that I'd make a quick card last night & I ended up making two of them.  This is one of them, using this 'Amazing Life' stamp set.  I like the way it turned out! 

Check out the frame around the words!  It is with the 'Letter Board Messages' stamp set in the Annual catalog on pg. 29.

I used the Layering Squares Framelits to cut out the words, the scalloped & the Square frame too!

stamp set:  'Amazing Life' & 'Letter Board Messages'
card stock:  Call Me Clover & Whisper White
designer paper:  Happiness Booms DSP
ink:  Call Me Clover

Yesterday was a busy day with kids.  I didn't get much else done except hold Ainslee.  Hope she isn't getting sick.  The boys worked on some St. Patrick's projects.  And Brayden was here after school for awhile too!  He picked out his 4-H pigs on Thursday night, so I got to hear all about them.  I think each one of the kids are going to have their own pig this year.  It will be fun to watch them take care of them & check on them.  When everyone was gone last night, I burnt the midnight oil working on cutting card stock.

This morning we are up early to mark, sort & load hogs.  I'll then hurry in to get tables/chairs set up & everything ready for my stampin' classes.  

Woo hoo......we have warmer temps, the sunshine yesterday helped dry up the roads some & I am finally able to have a Saturday stamp class without the weather affecting us too much!  I have 2 classes here at our home today.  One this morning & one this afternoon!   I am looking forward to seeing many friends that are coming to stamp with me.  And most of them  I haven't seen for quite awhile!  I hope to get to sit, visit & stamp a little with them today!

Deke's brother is coming up later this morning & the guys are going to spend the day in the shop- working on the race car.   So I hope they get alot done.  Our first race of the year in a couple of weeks!  So time is ticking away. 

Tonight I'll be stamping again.......lots to get ready for next weekends big annual "All Occasions" stamp-a-stack!

I HOPE you have a SUPER Saturday!

Happy Stamping!

Check out Shelli's Blog as she shares about my Celebration!

 CLICK HERE TO go to Shelli's BLOG!

Shelli shared LOTS of pictures of us in Utah!!  So be sure you click on the link above & read all about it!

Susie and Deke Wood were in Utah last week celebrating Susie’s 1M milestone—an incredible accomplishment! In Susie’s words, it was “a trip of a lifetime.” Susie was greeted warmly in Riverton and spent the day touring the building and working on the line, visiting and eating with dozens of employees, and eating dinner at the Melting Pot with members of the leadership team and their spouses.

The second day was also spent at the home office where Susie discussed with Kathy several ideas for her stamp set, and Sara and I got to stamp with Susie, using new product from the upcoming catalog…so fun! Then the six of us ate lunch together just before sending Susie and Deke on their way to Kanab. Because Susie had been to southern Utah for Founder’s Circle trips, she especially wanted Deke to see the facility, the employees, and “the park that rubber built.” We hope Susie’s trip to Utah was all she expected and more! Congratulations again, Susie!
