cs:  Crumb Cake, Midnight Muse, Very Vanilla
Comfort Cake designer paper
supplies:  Modern Label punch, 1 1/4" square punch (to make the points on the banner strips), Big Shot, Stripes embossing folder, dimensionals, glue dot, Neutrals Designer buttons, linen thread

Yesterday I got ALOT done!!!
*Helped Deke with the pigs (to the locker & selling them last night).
*Manda & the twins came out to visit me a bit -which was great since I haven't seen them for a few days.  They had both learned new things.  Brody walks around everything & can stand alone for a long time; Drake says Papa & smacks his lips when you ask him to kiss.  So cute!  They are growing up too fast.
*I also got ALOT of stamping done.  I got my 3D swap figured out, all cut & put together for Robins swap.  It it DONE!; my general swap designed; & my swap for Robins card group figured out.  Still have my card for Carols swap to figure out & my shoe box swap with our convention group to do.  I am gaining......

I will post some sneak peeks soon of things I've been making for convention.  I am using new products from the upcoming Holiday Mini.  Oh my GOSH.......I want everything in it!!  Wait until you see this mini.  It is AMAZING!!!  If you stamp with me on a regular basis, you will be getting your copy of this mini in the mail by the end of the month.  You can start ordering out of the New Holiday Mini starting August 1st!  NOTE:  This NEW HOLIDAY MINI is bigger than normal.....it is 8 1/2 x 11" & 40 full pages of lots & LOTS of new products!!  

Tonight we race!!  Hope Nathan has good luck.  Nathan went to Allison last night to race in a special race up there.  That is a LONG haul- like 3 hours one way.  He didn't have very good luck.  He was running 2nd & had to pull in because water pump broke.  It tore up alot of stuff!!  He has a lot of work to do in the shop today before he can race tonight. :( 

Deke will be gone all day today as he has meetings.

I have to go to town sometime today to run several errands too- post office, drug store, bank, recycle center, etc.

Hope you have a good day!!

Happy Stamping!
ENJOY!

I got a nice surprise in my mailbox!

HI!  I got a nice surprise in my mailbox & just had to share these pretty cards with you.  My demonstrator friend, Christy Kimball sent them to me.  Isn't that sweet!!  THANKS CHRISTY!

Stamp sets used are:
'Reason to Smile'
'Betsy's Blossom'- on 2 of them
'Mixed Bunch'


Yesterday I spent the whole day working on placing orders & doing SU! & farm bookwork.  I got alot done.   Deke worked late last night so I stamped!!  I am working on a set sampler of the new products in the upcoming Holiday mini so that I can show customers at workshops!!  The over achiever I am- this project has turned into a much bigger project than I thought it would.   I am still not done with it......but it is so cute!!  I can't wait for you to see it.

I will spend as much of the day today as I can in my studio figuring out swaps & things for convention.  Gosh- we leave next Monday- July 16th!!  Yikes- I have tons to do before then.

I do want to run in town & maybe go on a quick walk & visit with Manda & the twins.  I haven't seen them since last Friday & am going through withdrawl.  I miss my little man Brayden too (haven't seen him since the 4th of July).  I will have to see him this weekend sometime- before I am gone for a week to convention. 

Today we take hogs to the locker & pick up meat there.  Then we sell hogs tonight- so I'll be spending some time with Deke farming!  Which I LOVE!! 

Ok.......I have to get some sleep.  It will be time for the alarm clock to go off before I ever get in bed at this rate. 

Have a great day!
Happy Stamping!
ENJOY!

'Quint-Essential Flower' has endless possibilities...........

HI!

Happy Monday!!

Wow- what a FUN day I had yesterday with a building full of stampers!

I think that it worked out pretty good with having one party & 2 hostesses.

Thanks to all of you that joined us for a great afternoon.

Wonderful company, cute cards & yummy food- what more could you ask for?

 

Here is another card that I did at my workshop yesterday.

I've seen several cards using this new die in many different ways.

Infact- Dawn did one at my downline meeting- will get that posted sometime soon.

The inspiration for this card came from her original idea.

Note the NEW Oval Accent Bigz Clear die.

It is folded in half & used as the flap to open the card.

The card is held shut with a belly bad.

And I used the new 'Quint-Essential Flower' stamp & punches!

'Quint-Essentials' & 'Wacky Wishes'

cs:  Calypso Coral, Lucky Limeade & Whisper White

Floral District designer paper

ink:  Calypso Coral & Lucky Limeade

supplies:  Big Shot, Oval Accent Bigz Clear die, Polka Dots emobssing folder, Lucky Limeade ruffled ribbon, Pearls, 2 1/2" circle punch, Boho Blossom punch, 2 3/8" scallop circle punch, 1 3/4" scallop circle punch, dimensionals, glue dots

Here is a picture with the belly band off.

Notice that I saved the outside of the flower that I punched off & used it on the 

inside around my words.

There are LOTS of different punches that coordinate with this

 amazing little flower stamp.

1 3/4" scallop circle punch

1" circle punch

3/4" circle punch

Drake with his flag!

Manda had this picture on her camera & emailed it to me.  Thought I had to share it too so that you could see Drake with his flag on the 4th of July.
(Since I have already posted the one with Brody sitting on his moms lap.)
They are both precious!
And such good little troopers on a HOT day at parades & HOT night at the races.
