Happy Birthday to you using the set 'Label Love'!

Good morning!
Here is another simple card I made.
I really like the layout of it!
The layout is similar to the Washi Tape card I did the other day.
'Label Love'
cs:  So Saffron, Basic Gray, Whisper White
ink:  Basic Gray
supplies:  dimensionals, glue dots, white taffetta ribbon

Hope everyone is keeping above water.
Oh my gosh.....last year we had the drought & were praying for rain.
Now we are flooding everywhere. 
Races tonight cancelled- so that gives me another night to be home, but might run to Osky anyways tonight, as need to get groceries for Open Houses & deposit my hog check.
 
Happy Hump Day!
Happy Stamping!
Hugs!

Thinking of you today with a sneak peek of the 'Kind & Cozy' stamp set!

Hello!!
I love playing with NEW products!
I am like a kid in a candy store when it comes to getting my hands on 
new Stampin' Up! products. 

What do you think of this card?
It is bright & cheery!
The new set is called 'Kind & Cozy'.
And yep......you've seen other samples of it that were on the hospitality display board.
This is one of the cards that I did as a swap for my downline meeting a couple of weeks ago.

Check out the cool Daffodil flower here.
It is made with the new clay & mold.
And all I can say is that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!
And if you are coming to stamp with me at my Open Houses you'll be getting to play with & make your own flower out of our new clay!
 'Kind & Cozy'
cs:  Night of Navy, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White
Gingham Garden Designer Paper
ink:  Night of Navy & Melon Mambo
markers:  Night of Navy, Pear Pizzazz, Melon Mambo & Daffodil Delight
supplies:  Big Shot, Tasteful Trim Die, Simply Pressed Clay, Buttons & Blossoms Clay Mold, Embossing Buddy, 2 1/2" Circle punch, dimensionals, glue dots, White Organdy ribbon

Yesterday I spent the majority of the day/night in my stamp studio.
I did alot of sorting & organizing (I have a long ways to go yet).
And I made 2 super cute cards that I think I'll be using at my upcoming Open Houses this weekend.

Manda & the twins did go with me late in the afternoon to the cemeteries to put flowers on 
family & special friends graves.
 
Today will be a busy day, as baby piggies get here early this morning!
The twins are going to be so excited!
Let the farm fun begin for us!
 Then tonight we sell hogs.
So I'll be spending alot of time helping Deke & being a farmer today.

Ok...I've been working on a couple of swaps that I have to get mailed today.....they are all done & ready to be mailed now......so I'd better get to bed & get a few hours of sleep 
before the alarm goes off & the twins are here.

I hope you have a tremendous Tuesday!
Happy Stamping!
Hugs!

Another sneak peek at 'Label Love'

HI!
Happy Memorial Day!
Here is another cute card that shows lots of new products.
Check out not only the new stamp set, but also the punch & the This & That Washi Tape.
'Label Love'
cs:  Basic Gray, Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake, Whisper White
ink:  Basic Gray
supplies:  This & That Washi Tape, Calypso Coral Baker's Twine, Artisan Label punch, dimesionals, glue dot

We enjoyed getting to see several family members at graduation parties yesterday in Central City & Lone Tree for Mikayla & Maggie.
My mom went with Deke & I, so we enjoyed getting to visit & spend time with her too.

We've had TONS of rain!
Gosh- we went from one extreme to the other- from a drought to being too soaking wet!
We haven't checked the rain gauge since yesterday morning, but had over 4 1/2" at that time in the past 24 hours.
I'm sure it is well over 5" now.
Rain, Rain, go away!  
Come back another day!

We will make our cemetery run around Keokuk County to put flowers on our loved ones stones later today.
And then we plan to be home the rest of the day to get things ready on the farm for our new baby piggies to arrive tomorrow morning.
I also have LOTS of preparing to do for my Open Houses I have this coming Saturday & Sunday too!
Nathan is suppose to race this afternoon/evening, but assume with all of the rain it will be postponed.
WOW- It is the beginning to an extremely busy week here! 

I hope you have a MARVELOUS MONDAY!
Happy Stamping!
Hugs!
SUSIE

Happy Memorial Day!
In memory & honor for all our family, friends & everyone that has served.
Thank you!
