Yesterday was a great day full of stamping!!  Wow- we had a fun group that joined me to stamp in North Liberty!  And everyone had a fun time making 7 cute cards!  Deb was a great hostess with yummy treats!  And thanks to Deb, Denise, Teri & Dena for helping me to clean up afterwards! 

I was tired when I got home last night.  I got some of mess from creating picked up before Deke got in (he worked late on the farm) & then made one of his favorites for supper- fried potatoes & breaded tenderloins!  We watched a movie & I fell asleep.  

This morning he is up early to chore & head to the courthouse for his weekly board meeting.  I'm up to get my car unloaded from yesterday & spend my day with the 3 Wood kids.  Tonight when they go home I'll be stamping!  

I hope you have a MARVELOUS Monday!!
Happy Stamping!

Daisy Lane Bundle

It is simple Saturday.......and I have a super cute & simple card to share with you!!

One of my favorite things is punches!  And when I saw this cute little Daisy punch in the Annual Catalog I was just thrilled!  There are just endless possibilities that you can use when creating with it.  And then to top it off, we have these adorable Perennial Essence Centers to add to the center of the Daisy too!  Aren't they cool!  They are fuzzy & look & feel so real!

The main piece of this card came from a piece of the Pressed Petals Specialty DSP!  It is one of my favorite new DSP packs......as it has some of my favorite colors in it!

Here is what the piece of 12x12 DSP looks like that I used.  I just cut out the lower right hand corner piece, added a little Daffodil Delight card stock behind it & adhered it to the Mossy Meadow base.  I finished it off with punched out daisies, some lace trim & a little banner for the words. 

There are 4 daisies on this card & normally I do not use even numbers when I add things that I create......but there were already 4 daisies on this DSP.  So I just made 4 of them out of Whisper White card stock & the Medium Daisy punch.  I then added a dimensional to the back of them & covered up the photographed daisies that were on the DSP. 

So what do you think?  Do you like quick & simple cards?  Well- this one is just perfect for you then!
 
stamp set:  'Daisy Lane'
card stock:  

• Mossy Meadow- 4 1/4 x 11- score at 5 1/4" for the card base
• Daffodil Delight- 2 1/4 x 3/8"; 4 1/8 x 4 7/8"
• Whisper White- 2" strip- punch out 8 flowers & layer 2 on top of each other to make 4 flowers total; 4 x 5 1/4"- for inside of card

designer paper:  4 x 4 3/4"
ink:  Mossy Meadow
other: Perennial Essence Center; Paper Snips (to flap the ends of the words); Medium Daisy Punch; Dimensionals, Glue Dots; 3/8" Scalloped Lace Trim

Yesterday was a long day.  It started out early on the farm, selling hogs.  I then worked on some stamping stuff & had a chiropractor appointment.  We got quite a storm (luckily no damage at our house)- just lots of rain & wind.  I didn't end up having any kids, except Brayden was here for awhile in the afternoon.  When Deke got home from his meeting I had to go back out & help him with the pigs.  We had some escapes that somehow got their gate open & they were having fun playing & running around in the mud.  We finally got them all rounded up & back in the their pen.  Last night I burnt the midnight oil stamping!

This morning I'm up early to stamp.  We have Ainslee's birthday party this afternoon.  I'll then come home & burn the midnight oil stamping again......I'm creating & getting ready for my class I have tomorrow with my N. Liberty group.  Deb is our hostess!!  And I can't wait to see everyone & stamp together!  I have some super cute things to share! 

Gotta run.......

I hope you have a SUPER Saturday!!

Happy Stamping!

Yesterday was a busy day with the kids.  It was later when they left last night.  I then made a trip to Sigourney to get necessities at Dollar General & the grocery store.  I brought them home & then went to Osky to get the rest of the things I needed at Fareway & Walmart.  It was late when I got home last night.  I got the car unloaded, the things unpacked, the cold things put away & fed Deke supper.  I didn't get much stamping done, as I just had to call it a night. 

We are up early at 5 to mark, sort & load hogs!  Deke will chore & then head to Ottumwa for a couple more meetings again today.  I'll spend my day with the kids again.  Tonight when they go home, I'll be a stamping!

Have a FABULOUS Friday!

Happy Stamping!

My 3 scarecrows!

I just had to share.....sorry- it is not a card today, but these are scarecrows that I painted on Sunday night!  

My friend, Chris's husband (Tony) made them for me.  I stained & painted them late last fall & they have been leaning against our front porch.  I finally took the time & painted them.  They are all a little different, as I did them all free handed.  I think they turned out pretty cute!!  Now to get more paint & find time to finish painting the snowman faces that are on the back side of them.

When I got them done I sent a text picture of them to Drake (my artist) & he approved!  So that was good to hear!  

When I get them done- one is for me, one for Manda & one for Sarah.

Yesterday was a busy day with the kids.  Last night I went & got my mom.  We went to Brayden's game (along with Manda & Trey), for awhile.  Brayden's team lost, so we are all done with baseball games for the year.  We then went to the races to cheer on Nathan.  He got 2nd in his heat & 2nd in the main.  He looked good! It was a late night.

This morning Deke is up early to chore & head to Ottumwa for 2 meetings.  I'm up early to walk & spend my day with Masen & Ainslee.   Tonight I'll be a stamping!

Tomorrow I'll be back to posting a card again.  I didn't have any photos of any taken & I was too tired when we got home to do it. 

I hope you have a great Thursday!
Happy Stamping!
