A 'Happy Day' flower!

Hello!

Here is a pretty card I made using the new set- 'Happy Day'

and 2 of the new In Colors!

I think it turned out pretty cute!

'Happy Day'

cs:  Baked Brown Sugar, Crisp Cantaloupe, Whisper White

ink:  Baked Brown Sugar & Crisp Cantaloupe

supplies:  Big Shot, Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder, dimensionals, glue dots, 2 1/2" Circle punch, 2 3/8" Scallop Circle punch, 1 1/4" Scallop Circle punch, 7/8" Scallop Circle punch, 3/8" Whisper White Taffeta ribbon

I have to share.......

I got an exciting phone call on Wednesday from Donna Griffith at the 

Stampin' Up! home office training department.

This was a HAPPY DAY for me!

She asked me to be a presenter at Convention in July, along with 3 other demonstrators at the 'Building a Thriving Business' Break Out Class.

I am thrilled to have this opportunity to share my love of stamping with other demonstrators!

 Yesterday I created a rough draft of my power point presentation.

We have several rehearsals between now & at convention to prepare for this class.

Today will be a busy day cutting card stock for my workshop tomorrow.

And it will be a FUN day with our boys too!

Then we're headed to the races tonight in Bloomfield!

I think that Papa is going to sit in the stands with me & help with the 3 boys.

This will be a new experience for him, as usually is in the pits with Nathan.

I hope you have a SUPER Saturday!!

Happy Stamping!
Hugs!

Yesterday was a busy day!
I didn't get all of my errands ran- but we did get to the bank & everything done there.
The races were cancelled last night due to the rain, so we went out for supper with a very special family friend (Jenny) for her belated birthday.
Manda, Steve & the twins also went with us.

Deke left early this morning for Des Moines for the World Pork Expo.
I'm home alone today......and I can tell you I can't remember when that has happened for a long time.
So I'm off to finish cleaning out my spare bedroom.
I have piles of retired items that I need to find time to have a garage sale & get rid of.
I also have a pile of items that I'll be taking to Good Will too.

I hope you have a very special day!
Happy Stamping!
Hugs!
