World Treasures......

HI!
Here are a couple of cards that were on our hospitality display board at Disney.  They are created with a new stamp set called 'World Treasures'. 

Notice the new jumbo wheel 'Alhambra', the 'Labels Collection' framelit, new designer paper- 'International Bazar'.  LOTS of cool new products.

Yesterday was a busy day.  Bradyen & I went to watch uncle Jerry's tractor group ride through Sigourney.  Lots of fun seeing so many old tractors.  And Brayden is a tractor nut- so he loved it. 

Then my friend, Julie, has twin boys & she is having a garage sale this weekend.  So she invited Manda & I to come over to get the first look at everything.  We took the boys & went over to check things out.  Oh my gosh- we struck it rich!  She had so many NICE things!!  It was so organized & clean & just the nicest garage sale I've ever been to before.  Our twins got SO MANY NEW CLOTHES & a few new toys.  We are so thankful she thought of us!!! 

No boys today.  Manda & twins will come out for awhile later though as we are trying to get a wagon ready for them to ride in the Keota parade in the morning.  Have to support aunt Beckie for her Keokuk County Auditor running!! 

I have lots of stamping to do as I have a workshop tomorrow & one on Sunday too!  Can't wait! 

The guys race tonight in Columbus Junction, but I won't be going.......I have to get my things done here.  

I also get my hair cut this afternoon.  I can't wait for that either.....I look pretty shabby.

Hope you all have a wonderful day!!
ENJOY!
Happy Stamping!

Pool Party Doily!

HI!
Here is another card that I took a picture of at convention last July that was up on display boards.  So I don't know who the creator of this card is.

'Doily'
cs:  Pool Party & Whisper White
ink:  Pool Party
supplies:  In Color- 3/8" Designer Printed brads, 5/8" White Organza ribbon, dimensionals

Neat how they layered just the middle of this isn't it!

Brayden is here again today.  He wants to help Papa on the farm some.......so hopefully that will work out. 

I have to take my 7 yr old nephew Luke to get his ball pictures taken this afternoon.  And sometime today we have to go to a pre-garage sale that a customer/friend is having, as she also has twin boys- so checking things out early to get clothes for the twins.

My uncle is in a tractor club & they are coming through Sigourney today- so going to try to make it to town to see them go by too.  Brayden LOVES tractors!  He knows all about them!

We raced last night & Nathan didn't make the invert (finished 5th in the heat & had to finish 4th or better), so he had to start 15th in the main.  He did good though & ended up 5th in the end.  There were a lot of cars & a big crowd in the stands with the $2 off admission coupons. They lasted about an hour later than normal due to a few more cars, 3 extra double feature makes up from the rain out last week & a wreck. 

My friend Debbie & her husband came to the races last night & sat behind us.  Yesterday was Debbie's birthday & they have talked about coming to the races for years & decided that is what she wanted to do for her birthday!  I think they had a fun.  She said she'd like to come again.  :)  Wish Nathan could have won- but at least he finished & didn't get wrecked.  There were also several other friends there sitting with us!

Have a great day!!
Happy Stamping!

NEW PRODUCT- cake card

HI!

First of all I found out who the creator of the card I posted yesterday is.......it is my dear friend LeeAnn Greff.  No wonder of all the cards I took pictures of that was one I really liked & chose to post on my blog.  She is an AMAZING demonstrator, a WONDERFUL person & a close FRIEND!  

I love spending time with her & love her ideas!!

I can't wait to see her at convention next month.

Today's card is one that I'm doing at my workshops this month.

Don't you love all of the new In Colors?

Cute layout too with the big banner of designer paper too huh.

 'Make a Cake', 'Itty Bitty Banners' & 'Bring on the Cake'

cs:  Baja Breeze, Midnight Muse, Primrose Petals, Summer Starfruit & Whisper White

Patio Party Designer Paper

ink:  Midnight Muse

Summer Starfuit

supplies:  Big Shot, Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder, Bitty Banners Framelits, 2 3/8" scallop circle punch, 2 1/2" circle punch, Itty Bitty Shapes punch pack, dimensionals, 2 ways glue pen, metallic brads (assorted- I used the silver), white gel pen

What a fun day I had......I spent my whole day yesterday with Manda & the twins. Brody & Drake had their 9 months dr appt & everything went great!!  The dr was surprised at how much they had grown & said that they were both doing perfect.  They both are getting more new teeth.  Brody weighs 20 lbs 8 oz & Drake weighs 20 lbs 2 oz.  Brody was almost a pound lighter at birth, but now weighs more.  He is a really good eater though & Drake is a little pickier.  We ate lunch at Kentucky Fried Chicken & the twins loved the chicken, mashed potatoes/gravy & biscuits.  They are doing great with their sippy cups & are only getting 2 bottles a day now.  My how time fies.  They sure are growing fast.  We made a run to Walmart for formula & baby things too & they were both so good.  Manda is looking at the next step up for car seats, but think she is going to end up ordering them on line, as we aren't finding what she is wanting in the stores.

Last night Deke had a meeting, so thankfully our truck driver was nice enough to back off our load of hogs until later.   So it was a late night for us of sort & loading hogs, but all worked out.  We both just showered & went right to bed when we got in.

Today Brayden will spend the day with me!!  We have some errands to run & stamping to get done.  We race tonight so he'll forsure need a nap this afternoon.  Papa Deke has a meeting all day in Ottumwa & then he will be home long enough to chore & back out the door again for another meeting tonight.  He will hopefully get to the races in time for the features.   Nathan has $2 off tickets for the races tonight- so excited to see many new faces of friends join us for the races.  I know my friend Debbie & her husband Jeff, are planning to come tonight to celebrate her birthday. I think her husband things she is crazy for wanting to come to the races for her birthday- but I think it is cool!

Ok- lots to get done today.....I'd better run.

Hope you all have a wonderful day!

ENJOY!

Happy Stamping!

Flowers!!

HI!

This is a picture that I took at convention last July.  The card was on a big display board.  It caught my attention & I think it is really cool.  I love the different shades of the flowers. 

''Friendly Phrases'
marker:  Pacific Point
cs:  Whisper White, Pacific Point, Tempting Turquoise, Old Olive, Certainly Celery
supplies:  Blossom Petals builder punch, Scallop Edge Border punch, Itty Bitty Punch pack, mini brads, 3/8" white taffeta ribbon, glue dots, paper piercing tool & mat pick.

NOTE:  Isn't it cool how the flowers are made with the 2 different petals from the Blossom Petals builder punch?  

I'm looking forward to spending my day with Manda & the boys.  Today the twins have their 9 month check-up with Dr. Mary.  We'll see how much they weigh.  She isn't going to believe how big they are.

Then tonight is my farmer night.  :)

Have a great day!!
ENJOY!
Happy Stamping!
