Here is an awesome pop-up card!!

 

Good morning!

 Sammi & Mary were awesome hostesses yesterday & I enjoyed my day stamping with them & their friends!! 

Here is a cute card to start off our week!

This is another card that everyone did at my February workshops.

It is a cool pop-up card.

And of course I used my favorite SAB stamp when creating it!

 Check out how it opens up!

It is a fun card to do!

Today I am suppose to have all 3 boys!  It has been a week since I've seen Brayden.  I am looking forward to spending my day with all of them.  I am also praying that Brody's ear infection is gone & he is feeling better.  Particularly I hope he is eating better. 

I LOVED the rain that we got yesterday.  It is so welcomed!  We are hoping our pond gets some water in it.  And the fields need the moisture before spring planting begins!

I'm also thankful that we got the rain yesterday instead of the snow or ice that others got.  My heart goes out to many friends & family that got all of the snow!

It is cold & windy outside today though.  Oh- the joys of living in Iowa, as you never know how extreme the weather will be from one day to another.

Tonight I'm doing family haircuts for the guys......guess Susie's Hair Hut will be busy!!!

Deke has a meeting this morning & 2 meetings tonight....so it is a busy day for him too!!

I hope you have a SUPER Monday!

Happy Stamping!
HUGS!

A sweet Valentines treat!

Good morning!

Here is a sweet Valentines Treat that everyone at my February workshops will be making as a 'treat' from me!  It is made with the two tags die.

At Founders 1 1/2 years ago my demonstrator friend Angie Juda made a Halloween box like this.

 So- I changed the colors & stamp set to make it a Valentines box.

Isn't it cute!

I so LOVE this 'Hearts A Flutter' stamp set & More Amore Specialty Designer Paper.

Can't you think of all kinds of little things you could put into this box?

 Measurements:

• 2 tags- score at 1 1/4" from bottom

• Box base- 4 3/4" x 3 1/8" 
• Score 1" on all 4 sides. 
• Snip & tuck in the 4 corners to make. 
• Put together with Sticky Strip.  

I am off to Hiawatha soon to stamp!!!!

I am looking forward to sharing all kinds of FUN things with the ladies today.

Have a great day!
Happy Stamping!
Hugs!

supplies:  Big Shot, 2 1/2" Circle punch, Perfect Pennants Bigz L die, Scissor Snips, dimensionals, glue dots, Basic Rhinestones, Boho Blossom punch

I am "hiding" today......and working on tax stuff!
This is one thing I hate to do & always wait until the last minute to do it- which makes it even worse.
If I would do a little each month it wouldn't be bad- but never have the time to keep up with that.

I have a lot of stampers coming to Sammi & Mary's workshop tomorrow so still have a little more cutting to do for that too.
I am EXCITED about seeing all of them & can't wait!

I hope you have a great weekend!
Stop back tomorrow & I'll share another stamped project with you!
Happy Stamping!

'Vintage Verses'......has so many possiblities!

Good morning!  I really like the In Color- Summer Starfruit.  It seems that it goes with so many different colors of card stock & is just so rich & elegant looking.

This is a card that I got in my GoDiva's swap from Georgia .......I just added a couple more layers to the card base.  Be sure to check back tomorrow to see my version of her card.   I CASED (Copy And Share Everything) Georgia's card- but used different colors.

I enjoyed a FUN night of stamping with many ladies last night.
I'm glad that they could join me!

Deke is gone all day to a meeting......so it will just be me & the twins.
I'm going to hang with them & enjoy a quiet day- reading books & playing.
I've been going 100 mph lately & I'm exhausted.
Today might just be a jammie day for us!

Have a fabulous day!
Happy Stamping!
