Happy Friday the 13th! I'm so LOVIN' the new SMOOCHES products this month!!!

HI!  Happy Friday the 13th! 
I'm sure today will be a lucky day for us all!

I had Stampin' Night at my house last night & had a fun time with everyone here.
Glad that they could all make it.
Some of them are coming to my upcoming Stamp Til You Cramp next weekend- so I'll get to see them again soon!  YIPEE!
I will be staring to work on projects for this big event starting tonight after work.

Check this out.....
Here are the cards I made the other night that I was telling you about earlier this week for (belated) March & April Birthday cards- plus for my downline!

I'm so LOVIN' this new stamp set & SMOOCHES products!!!
Isn't this a cute card!!
So bright, cheery & spring like!

Tonight is Stampin' Night at my house! Here is a sneak peek of one of the cards that everyone will be stamping!

HI!  Wanted to share this with you today..... this is a sweet card that everyone will be stamping at my Stampin' Night tonight at my home & at my Hiawatha workshop on Sunday too!!
They can choose if they want to do a popcicle, ice cream cone or cherries if they don't want to do the watermelon.

Don't you just love the plaid designs in the black card stock?  

I created them using my new Diagonal Scoring Plate.
These diagonals are made at 1" apart- but you can make them closer if you want & they look neat that way too!
COOL background HUH!!!

I added a little dot in the corners of each of the triangles with my white gel pen to add dimension & make them pop out at you.  

'Mouth Watering' & 'Sweet Cake'

cs:  Old Olive, Melon Mambo, Basic Black & Whisper White

ink:  Black Stazon

markers:  Old Olive, Melon Mambo & Basic Black

supplies:  Simply Scored Scoring Tool & the Diagonal Scoring Plate

Old Olive polka dot ribbon, dimensionals, glue dot, oval punch, scallop oval punch, white gel pen

OK- lots to do today.  Better get in gear!

Have a great day!!

ENJOY!

Happy Stamping!

What a cool 'CROSS' card! It has LOTS of possibilities for different occasions.....

HI!  Today I'm sharing with you a cool 'CROSS' card that I got from my downline & dear friend Dawn Klein.  She made my day when I got my mail on Monday night!

She sent this to me as an Easter card, but think of all of it's possibilities!!  

You could use it for a Baptism, a First Communion or a Confirmation card too!!

Kind of another crazy week here....I need to be stamping for my big Stamp 'Til You Cramp that I have coming up on the 21st.  Last night we sold hogs & tonight we race.  Tomorrow night is Stampin' Night here.  I have all 3 boys today as Brayden doesn't have pre-school due to a teachers in-service day.  I have tons to do......hope the boys are good so grandma can get alot done.  I've been fighting springtime allergies.  Many times in the spring I end up with walking pnenmonia.  Hope not this time...... I've been trying to doctor myself.  Lord knows I don't have time to be sick.  

Have a great day!!

ENJOY!!

Happy Stamping!

I stamped lots & lots of cards yesterday!!!

Oh my gosh......I stamped LOTS & LOTS of cards yesterday!!  (67 of them to be exact!)
I was way behind on March & April birthday cards for my customers- so got them all done!!  They will be mailed out today. 

AND I wanted to get everyone in my growing downline a card made & sent out too, so they know that I'm thinking of them. 

My life has been so crazy that I'm so behind on everything......someday I'll get caught up!!  LOL!!!

Later this week I will post a picture of the card that I made yesterday using the 'Bright Blossoms' new stamp set & the awesome Smooch designer paper & pretty Daffodil ribbon.  I don't want to post it yet & spoil everyone's surprise before they get theirs in the mail. 

Look at all of these envelopes.....they are just for my downline group- the "IOWA INKERS"!!!
WOW......we sure are growing!!!
I'm so proud of everyone on my team & all of their accomplishments!!  We have an "IOWA INKERS" team meeting next month & I can't wait to see everyone.  Hopefully many of them can make it.

I know that several of my team are coming to my upcoming STYC though too- so excited about that & seeing them then too.


Today I wanted to share this beautiful card that my downline & dear friend Judy Hopping made for Deke & I for our anniversary!!  Judy combined two cards that I've previously posted into one beauty.  She tweaked my ideas some & this is what she came up with.  THANKS MUCH Judy!!!  WE love it!

Have a fabulous day!!
Enjoy!
Happy Stamping!
