To my friend.....

Good morning!

Here is another cute card that we'll be doing at my STYC on Saturday!

I just love playing with the Dressed Up framelits & coordinating Dress Form Pop & Cuts die.

The more I play with them the more my head just spins with ideas.

It is kind of like playing with my paper dolls when I was young.

'Friendly Phrases' & 'Secret Garden'
cs:  Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Very Vanilla
Natural Composition Specialty Designer Paper
ink:  Soft Suede
supplies:  Big Shot, Dress Up Framelits, Basic Pearls, 5/8" Flower Trim, Large Oval punch, Scallop Oval punch, dimensionals, glue dots

 Yesterday I went to Manda's for the morning, as they had a new couch delivered for their family room.

I also did a quick hair cut for Steve when they picked up the boys.

And then Aunt Kathy came to help me cut some Big Shot things.

I've beem a card stock cutting machine!

I still lots to do today to finish getting everything done & ready for tomorrow's big class.

I can't wait for everyone to see all of the cool projects they'll be creating!

I hope you have a fabulous Friday!!

Happy Stamping!

A COOL guy card!

HELLO!

Here is a cool guy card that a demonstrator friend (Alison from Canada) 

shared as her Founders swap last September.

(I changed the ribbon & added the words/punch.)

The technique is 'faux' paint chip & glossy white card stock is used.

This is going to be one of my STYC projects for this coming Saturday's class.

 Isn't this just a very striking card!

'The Open Sea' & 'A Little Greeting'
cs:  Marina Mist, Basic Black, Glossy White
ink:  Pool Party, Baja Breeze, Marina Mist
supplies:  Jewelry Tag punch, 1/8" Black Taffeta ribbon, dimensionals, glue dots
other:  masking tape
 

What a busy week!
Brayden came to visit for a few hours & play with Drake yesterday since Brody was gone- 
so this was fun for us!

Brody got a great report from Dr. Menezes at his 6 week post-op appointment though!

He was sedated & had a brain MRI done.

At his next appointment in 6 months they will just do an x-ray (no sedation).

All is perfect with is last surgery!!
They are just watching one of the spots that they removed bone from at his 1st surgery in 12/11 (when he was 3 months old). 

That spot is closing & we are praying that it continues to heal, so that another surgery is not necessary down the road.

He will continue to wear his helmet for at least another 6 months & possibly longer.

We'd rather be safe than sorry, so that he doesn't end up getting hurt.

 We feel so blessed that he is doing so awesome!

I'm one tired stamper girl!

I have lots of cutting yet to do.

Deke helped me last night with some Big Shot things.

And Aunt Kathy is coming down today to help do some more of the Big Shot things.

I have some really cool things to share with everyone that is going me at my STYC on Saturday though.

I hope you have an amazing Thursday!

Happy Stamping!

All Dressed UP!

Good morning!
Happy Hump Day!
Here is another card that we'll be doing at my upcoming STYC.

 Cute huh!
I've done the side step card/dresser before, but added the dress/mirror to the side this time.

cs: Crumb Cake, So Saffron, Early Espresso
Tea for Two Designer Paper
ink:  Early Espresso
supplies:  Big Shot, Dress Up Framelits, Square Lattice folder, Oval Framelits, Basic Pearls, Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack, Curly Label punch, 3/16" Metallic Brads, glue dots, dimensionals
 
Late night on the farm selling hogs last night.
And another busy day here today.
Please say a little prayer for our precious Brody today.
He goes to Iowa City this morning for a 6 weeks check with Dr. Menezes.
They will do a sedated CT scan.
He sure acts perfectly fine & normal, hope it shows that all is great.
So Drake will be home with Grandma alone.
I will go to their house shortly to get him.
We have a couple of errands to run & I then I have LOTS of cutting to do every spare minute I have.

WOW-it sure is lightening & thundering out.
It is pouring!
As my dad would have said- it is raining cats & dogs!
And hopefully filling up our pond with water!

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
Happy Stamping!
Hugs!
