Happy Valentines Day!!

Happy Valentines Day!

Here are our grandsons quick Valentines cards that I did for them last night before I went to bed.

One for Jackson, Brayden, Brody & Drake.

I've seen several different things made out of Hershey's kisses & thought they are cute.

 The Hershey's Kiss is made using the large petal from the Blossom Petals Builder punch.

(#121808- pg. 185 for $16.95)

'Delightful Dozen' & 'Teeny Tiny Wishes'

cs:  Real Red, Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip, Vellum & Red Glimmer paper

ink:  Chocolate Chip

supplies:  Big Shot, Adorning Accents Embossing folder (hearts), Blossom Petals Builder punch, dimentionals, glue dots, Small Heart punch, Scissor Snips

 Brayden & I made Heart Sugar Cookies yesterday.

We used the Holiday Sweet Pressed Cookie Stamp.

(#125152- pg. 161= $16.95)

Some of them we just sprinkled sugar on & some of them we put red frosting on.

Brayden is a pro at pressing the cookies.

I love spending time with him!

He just melts my heart.

Drake has a Dr appt this for his ears this morning.

(His Dr. was off yesterday so we didn't get in.)

Tonight Deke is riding along with me to do my stamp delivery run.

We are suppose to get a little snow.

If the roads aren't bad we'll grab a quick bite someplace along the way to eat.

I hope you have a WONDERFUL Valentines Day!

Many blessings-

Stampin’ Up!’s News
Today, Stampin’ Up! officially introduced the long-awaited Hostess Code. Customers can combine online orders with workshop orders to calculate hostess benefits. That means you can have one big party that ships to multiple locations – and all the orders can be added together to generate hostess rewards.  YIPEE!  It includes ALL products on our online store (catalog items, Clearance Rack items, promotional items) PLUS My Digital Studio downloads PLUS My Digital Studio print products. How sweet is this???  It’s REALLY, REALLY sweet!  

NOTE:  In order to do this you will have to get a "code number" from your hostess which will tie it to her party.  I will have given this number to the hostess.  And each workshop has a different "code number".  Once the hostess closes her party this code will be void for future orders.  

WooHOO! 

If you have any questions about this- don't hesitate to contact me.
I will be sharing information about this new program with upcoming hostesses. 

A beautiful heart card!!

Isn't this a beautiful heart card!

It would make an awesome wedding card or Valentines card.

My demonstrator friend Christy Kimball gave this card to me.

I love the vintage style of it.
And I haven't done this layout on a card for quite awhile- so will have to come up with something again.

'Love' (Single stamp that was available until 01/03)

'Everything Eleanor'

 cs:  Raspberry Ribbple, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla

ink:  Raspberry Ripple & Crumb Cake
supplies:  Big Shot, Elegant Bouquet embossing folder, sponge, Full Heart Punch, Raspberry Ripple Stitched ribbon, dimensionals, glue dot

 

Brayden LOVED helping sell hogs last night.

Our trucker was a little late.....so it was a long night.

But it was fun!

He is a true farm boy!

He had to see all of the pigs- from big to small.

And he went through every pen of the little ones so that he could play with them & feed them.

Too cute!

I have all 3 boys again today.....so it is going to be busy!

We are going to stamp heart sugar cookies & put red frosting on them for Papa & Brayden.

Deke is gone all day again today for meetings in Mt. Pleasant.

Drake had a fever yesterday & we are assuming it is his ears again.

Guess he'll be going back to see Dr. Mary. 

I need to call them & get an appointment.

Brayden got sick to his stomach late yesterday afternoon.....hope no one else gets it.

He seems fine now.

So far Brody is good!

He is done with his meds from last week for his ear infection & acting back to his normal self!

HOPEFULLY stays that way.

Are we ever going to catch a break?

I'm so ready for SPRING & healthy boys!

I hope you have a wonderful day!!

Happy Stamping!
Hugs!

'Feeling Sentimental' with bleach!

Hi!

Here is one of the cards that everyone did at my February workshops.  This is such a neat "antique" stamp set.  It has so many possibilities.  

'Feeling Sentimental' (SAB)
'That's the Ticket'
cs:  Basic Black & Crumb Cake
ink:  Basic Black CRAFT ink pad
supplies:  Big Shot, Argyle embossing folder, Apothecary Accents framelits, Natural Trim  ribbon, Distressing Tool, Ticket Duo punch, Paper Piercing tool, Piercing mat, dimensionals, glue dots, Antique Brads, Natural Linen Thread, Heat Tool, Black Embossing Powder, Embossing Buddy, Basic Black marker

*Note:  I used the Aqua painters & added bleach to them to color within the embossed image! 
I used it within the wheel spokes shown on this bicycle.

I had a great day with all 3 of my boys yesterday.  Brayden has pre-school today, but his dad has Parent/Teachers Conferences tonight, so he'll be here after school & then spend the night.  We sell hogs tonight, so he's going with us.  And I might add that he is very excited to get to go out to see the pigs & help us.  He is a true farm boy!  We bought him new chore boots at Christmas & he has only worn them a couple of times, so he reminded me yesterday that he could wear them tonight. 

I hope you have a great day! 
Happy Stamping!
Hugs!
