'Best of Flowers' the March 25th Anniversary set

Good morning!

Here is one of the cards we did at my STYC this past weekend.

I LOVE this stamp set, I LOVE these colors, I LOVE this die, I LOVE this card!

I am really going to miss More Mustard.

 Have you noticed the Dress Form Pop 'N Cuts die & Base die in the back of the Spring Catalog?

Check out page 32 to see it.

I used it when creating this card with the flower pot.

Brayden helped Deke & I clean up the building yesterday after STYC.
He is quite a little worker & I am always so amazed at him & so proud!
I am glad that he was so excited to get to help us.
He stacked chairs & put them back, cleaned tables, swept/vaccumed, etc.
It took us 5 hours to get it all done.
Happy everything is home, but now need to find time to get it put away.

Brody has an ear recheck appt this morning.
Then we are home the rest of the day/night.
I haven't seen my little boys since Friday, so I'm anxious to see them any minute.

I hope you have a super Monday!
Happy Stamping!

'the Best things in life aren't things'!

Good morning!
WOW!!!!  What a day yesterday!  I think everyone had a good time!

It was a very busy day, but I think it turned out GREAT!

 I am glad that so many could join me for my annual Spring Stamp 'Til You Cramp event.

Everyone went home with tons of projects.  I think they all learned some new things!

I love getting to share my love of stamping with others!

 Here is a peek at a card that we'll be doing for my May workshops!

I just think that this saying is a perfect saying for so many things.

I went straight from my STYC to Deke's parents for supper & got there about 7:15.  We had a surprise BD party for his sister Darci that turns 40 this week.  We got home & to bed about 11.  It was a short night, but at least I got to bed & got to sleep some.

Brayden stayed with us last night.  He & Papa are still asleep.  We'll eat breakfast soon & then head over to clean everything up from yesterdays stamp camp.  I am not looking forward to that.  I'll be glad when it is all picked up, back to normal & everything is home & put in it's place.

I hope you have a very nice Sunday!

Happy Stamping!

A "faux tearing" beautiful card......

Hello!

Here is another beautiful card that we'll be doing at my Spring STYC today!

I got a card similar to this one at Founders last fall from Linda Guiterrez & knew it was something I wanted to share with my customers at one of my STYC events! 

What a fun technique this is!

And I really like this 'Flowering Flourishes' stamp set too!

'Flowering Flourishes' & ''Curly Cute'
cs:  Rich Razzleberry, Basic Black, Glossy White
ink:  Black Stazon, Pumpkin Pie, Rich Razzleberry, Garden Green
supplies:  Sponge daubers, Sponges, Basic Rhinestones 
 

Deke & I set up tables & chairs last night at the building for today's class.

Then we came home & he helped me do all of the food!

(You've heard me say it before & I'm going to tell you again- I have a wonderful husband & I couldn't do all I do if he didn't help me.  But that is a 2 way street as I help him with the hogs too.  We are blessed to have each other!)

Aunt Kathy, Uncle Jerry & Brayden were here too for awhile.

Aunt Kathy brought back some of the Big Shot things she'd taken home to cut for me & then while she was here she helped fold card stock for the cards that I had cut.

I am very appreciative that she is home from being in Arizona all winter & is so great at helping me.

I've been cutting & cutting & cutting some more!

Everyone joining me today will be going home with tons of cool projects (mostly cards).

My goal is that they all enjoy their day & go home with lots of new ideas too!

I hope everyone there learns at least 2 new things!

I am super excited too that my sister-in-law Sheryl gets to come today to stamp with us!

She lives in Illinois & rarely do we get to stamp together.

Her joining us today will be a treat for both of us!

Ok......I'm back to cutting!

I have lots of packed boxes sitting all over my family room floor that I'll be loading in my car in a couple of hours.

When tonight gets here I'm going to CRASH!

Think I'll take some extra coffee with me today as I'm going to need it to help keep me going.

Wishing you a SWEET SATURDAY for whatever you have planned!

Happy Stamping!
HUGS!
