A vellum Manhattan Rose card

Good morning!
Here is a quick post........
NOTE:  This Manhattan Rose Embossing Folder is RETIRING on 05/31!

I had a great team meeting yesterday with my group of downline 
(ladies that signed up to be a demonstrator under me).

I always enjoy the time we spend together sharing!

Two of the ladies came from Ohio & Nebraska to attend! 

Today I'm off to Janiece & Deb's workshops!

I still have some card stock I need to get cut & pack everything up.

They have lots of friends joining us & I can't wait to see everyone & share!

I'm EXCITED & know they are going to love the projects.

 This is one of the beautiful cards we'll be making at all of my May workshops!

Yep- we are making this one today!

I hope you have a SUPER Sunday!!

Happy Stamping!
HUGS!

We have a BUSY weekend with lots to celebrate!

HELLO!

Here is an awesome card that my friend Frenchie shared with us at our share time in Fiji.

She did the waxed paper resist on the background.

Isn't it awesome!

I love this 'By the Tide' stamp set!

I learned to do this technique years ago & haven't even thought about it.

I'll have to see about creating something doing it sometime soon.

 Here is a picture of my little man (Brayden) at his pre-school graduation last night.

We are so proud of him!

I can't believe he is so old & ready to start kindergarten in August.

It was a fun celebration!

I just love him to pieces.

His smile is priceless!

 

I have a big downline meeting today with my group & adoptees.

I can't wait to see everyone & share!

Several of them are even coming from other states to join us!

YIPEE!

 

BUT- I still have LOTS of stamping to do before our meeting in a few hours!

I won't be getting any sleep between now & then.

We just got home from the races.

(Nathan did good- got 2nd in heat & 3rd in main.)

So- I'm off to make a pot of coffee & head to my stamp studio & start creating.

I hope you have a SUPER Saturday!

Happy Stamping!
Hugs!

Here is a Sneak Peek at a new stamp!

HI!

This is a Sneak Peek of a card that I took a picture of on a display board & created by someone working at Stampin' Up!

What do you think of this set?

It is called 'Wildflower Meadow'. 

Did you notice it & do you like the yellow Gingham strip along the top?

That is new Gingham Garden Designer Washi Tape.

Aren't you excited to see the New Catalog?

You are going to LOVE IT!

We have a VERY BUSY weekend is ahead of us.
By the time Sunday night rolls around I'm going to crash!

Tonight Brayden graduates from Pre-School.

I can't believe he is this old!!
What a special occasion!

AND then we're off to the races in Columbus Junction to cheer on Nathan.

Then Saturday I have an all day downline meeting with my gals & lots of adoptee's.

Plus I am on the committee for church to help with funeral dinners, so I have to make a pan of bars & deliver to the church for a funeral.

And then on Sunday I have a BIG workshop in Hiawatha!
And am excited to see the ladies there & share!

We also have a few graduation parties we got invited too. 
(But don't know if we'll make it to any of them or not.)

SO- I have LOTS of planning, stamping & cutting to do in the next 26 hours!

I probably won't get to go to bed tonight.

I am praying that I have good mojo & everything just clicks!

(Drake, Brody & Brayden)

Here is a picture of our 3 boys taken earlier this week. 
They sure love each other!

They have been enjoying the beautiful weather & LOVE playing outside.

I hope you have a Fabulous Friday!

Happy Stamping!
HUGS!
