'For You' card.......

HI!

Here is another card that I did at my workshops this month. 
Very pretty.......different......FUN!
The cut out piece is actually what opens up & the back piece is just nothing but to hold the other.
It is very elegant.
I put a ribbon over the piece I scored on the front to help cover up that.
I love the richness of the new Midnight Muse color.

You can't tell from the photo, but the FOR YOU words are set down inside the frame around them & the frame is what is popped up with dimensionals.
Just something different- but really made the card just beautiful!

'Layered Labels' & 'Blooming with Kindness'
cs:  Midnight Muse, Very Vanilla
ink:  Midnight Muse
supplies:  Large Oval punch, Very Vanilla seam binding ribbon, basic pearls, glue dot, dimensionals, Big Shot, Square lattice folder, Apothecary Accents Framelits, Oval Accents Bigz die, Simply Scoring tool

Here is the card slightly opened.
Don't you just love the shape & size of the new Oval Accents Bigz die!

Here is the card opened all of the way up!

Yesterday Nathan & Brayden were in the shop all day working on the race car-
so Brayden was here most of the day visiting grandma.
They both ate lunch with us.  (tacos)
I really enjoyed having them here!!

Then-
Last night the twins were in the Baby Contest in What Cheer.
There was a nice crowd at the fair &
it was great to see many people I don't see often. 

The guys were suppose to race in Columbus Junction but they got rained out.
(Wish we could have gotten some much needed rain here!)
So all of us got to go the fair together.
That was fun!
We then all went to the Copper Lantern in Sigourney & ate supper. 
Afterwards we sat around the Fountain at the Courthouse & enjoyed looking at it-
with the lights & beautiful evening.
Jackson & Brayden had gotten balloon figures from the clown at the fair &
so the boys all enjoyed playing swords with them.
(Including the big boys!)
It was a very nice night out with our family!

Today I am going to "hide" in my stampin' studio & work on swaps
& things for convention.
I leave on Monday morning....have LOTS to do!

Hope you have a great weekend!!
Happy Stamping!
ENJOY!

A beautiful butterfly pocket card......

HI!
WOW.........I had a FULL HOUSE last night to stamp!!  I think it went ok & everyone enjoyed the cards.  Glad everyone could make it!

Here is a one of the cards we did last night.  Another pocket card.  Notice all of the new products on it.  My inspiration from this card came from a card that another demonstrator friend, Mary Fish posted on her blog.  I used the same colors & stamp set- but mine is totally different.   I just LOVE this new stamp set & coordinating butterfly punch!

'Papillon Potpourri' & 'Blessings from Heaven'
'Alhambra' Jumbo wheel
cs:  Basic Black, Whisper White & Summer Starfruit
ink:  Black Stazon
supplies:  Jumbo Handle, Black ink cartridge, In Color Dahlias, dimensionals, glue dot, Ticket Duo Builder, 1 3/4" circle punch, Big Shot, Finishing Touches Edgelits, white gel pen, sticky strip

I am looking forward to a busy day today.  Brayden is coming to visit!  Grandma wanted him to spend the day with me so I could see him before I'm gone to convention for a week.  We are going to the What Cheer Fair tonight.  The twins are going to be in the baby contest.  The guys will go racing in Columbus Junction.  They worked in the shop all night last night.  I took supper up to them about 10:45- after everyone left from stamping & visited with them.  Hope Nathan has some good luck!!

Gotta run......need to get my house back in order......gosh have tables, chairs & stamp stuff everywhere!!

Have a great day!!

Happy Stamping!
ENJOY!

They are ALL boy- they love CARS!!

Here is a picture of the twins with their new little race cars.  Only true boys would run them on the table & have their "motors running" too.  It was so cute!  Can't believe that they are old enough to do this.  They are growing up so fast!!  As you can tell they are walking around things  It won't be long & they will be walking everywhere on their own.

They are precious!!

Off to the races we went to watch Uncle Nathan!
