A Holiday Catalog sneak peek!

Good morning!

Fall is definitely my favorite time of the year.....and there are LOTS of cute new products in the upcoming Holiday Catalog that starts on 08/01.

If you are a customer of mine- you'll be getting your New Holiday Catalog in the mail by the end of month. 
It is another amazing catalog & I look forward to creating & sharing things from it with you.

So today I'm sharing a sneak peek at one of the cards I created using a new stamp set & new designer paper! 

I hope to find some more time soon to get to play with some more new things.

We had a fun time stamping last night at my monthly Stampin' Night at our home.
I'm so glad that everyone could join me.

We had a full house!

Papa Deke was so good at having fun & playing with the twins on the farm.

They were two tired little boys that didn't want to give up & go to sleep.

Hoping they sleep in a bit.

We have a busy morning getting ready for the guys to show up & start tearing up my ruined floor. 

I will be so happy when this is all done & over with!

I'll work on picking up from last nights class & cutting supplies for Sunday's class while they do that.

We are all off to Columbus Junction to race tonight.

Everyone that is except for Brayden, as he is at his Uncle Bryce's in Colorado visiting

- so we'll miss him.

I hope you have a FABULOUS Friday!
Happy Stamping!

Here is a cute 'Sketched Birthday' card.....

Good morning!

Here is another card that everyone joining me to stamp at my July workshops will be making.

It is a fun fold too!

 'Sketched Birthday'

cs:  Whisper White, Real Red

ink:  Marina Mist, Real Red

dp:  Polka Dot Parade

supplies:  1 3/4" Scallop Circle punch, 2 3/8" Scallop Circle punch, 1 1/4" Circle punch, Postage Stamp punch, dimensionals, glue dots, 2 ways glue pen, Dazzling Diamonds Glitter

Someone in Fiji made a swap using this stamp set & colors, but her card was on a display board & I don't know who to give credit to for it.

Of course.....you know me.....I changed it somewhat- but loved colors & card idea.

Who wouldn't want to get this for their birthday card?

 

Tonight is Stampin' Night at our home.

I have a full house joining me to stamp the night away.

I am looking forward to seeing everyone & sharing.

Cindy has graciously offered to bring treats- bless her.

Papa will be around tonight to help too, as the twins are also spending the night with us- so I'm sure they will be the entertainment for our stamp class tonight!

Convention practice went well last night.

I am excited about it all.

 I am just getting a little nervous & worried as I have tons to do before we leave next Tuesday morning & I am not sure how it is all going to get done.

Guess somehow it will all fall into place.

 

Nathan had bad luck racing last night & finished 9th in the main.

It was a late night of racing too.

The boys were all good & had fun though!

I hope you have a very special day!

Happy Stamping!

WOW......we had a late night on the farm last night.

It was after midnight when we got in.

Then had to shower, make supper & get ready for bed.

It was SO HOT!

It was just like you were in a sauna.

We wet the piggies down good on the trailer after they were loaded & I'm praying that they all made the ride ok......always worry about them when it is so hot & humid out.

Today I'll enjoy my day with the boys.

We have some errands I need to run in town.

And I'll be getting ready for our SKYPE convention rehearsal that I have tonight.

After it is over with I'll be off to the races to cheer on Nathan!

The rest of the family will go at the normal time & I'll get there as soon as I can.

I hope you have a WONDERFUL Wednesday!
Happy Stamping!

BUSY day yesterday!

 A guy from Serv Pro was here yesterday to check out water damage & work on our plan.

They will be here bright & early on Friday to remove all of my kitchen flooring, my laundry flooring & my bathroom flooring.

They will do the clean up/dry up & then proceed with putting down the new floor next week.

So Deke & I made a quick trip last night to pick out the flooring so that they can get it ordered.

 I did get a couple of swaps created for convention.

Now to find time to create some more & start the process of cutting, stamping & assembling all of them.

I can't believe that we leave already next Tuesday!  

WOW!

The twins will be here today!

And I'm a farmer tonight.

Assume since it is suppose to be so hot today we will load late & pray that they all make it there safely on the truck with the heat.

I hope you have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!

Happy Stamping!
Hugs!
