Here is a faux iris Christmas ornament card!

Good morning!
Here is another card that I did for my downline meeting last Saturday!

It is an ornament!

And I did the faux iris technique again.

Did you notice the cool little 

Old Olive Simply Styled Embellishment?

Isn't it cool!

I love the designer paper too!

It is from the Season of Style Paper Stack. There are 48 double sided sheets (4 total designs) 4 1/2" x 6 1/2"= $6.95.

Check out the fold......

The guys worked in the shop last night & Brayden ended up staying over night with us.
So he will be here now today to play with the twins!
It will be his last day here as he starts kindergarten tomorrow.
Think it is going to be as hard seeing him going off to school as it was our own kids.
I can't believe that he is that old & so grown up!
He has his open house in his classroom tonight.
So glad that his mom, dad & him will all be going.

Tonight I'm a farmer helping Deke outside.
We sell hogs......wishing for cooler temps.
And praying for some much needed rain!
We sure need some for the corn & bean crops.

I hope you have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!!
Happy Stamping!

WOW- what a FUN day of company & stamping we had at my downline meeting yesterday.

I went & got groceries after our meeting.

Then home to make supper.

(Deke's favorite- wilted lettuce & dumplings.)

We then decided to go to the river & visit my sister & brother-in-law 

(Beckie & Dan), that were camping!

We don't ever make time to do things like that.

And we are so glad that we went!

It was a beautiful night sitting around the campfire & chatting!

Today I'm canning tomatoes & catching up on a ton of things here.

I'm not often home on Sundays, as usually I have a stamp class- so I'm going to ENJOY my day here with LOTS to get checked off on my "to do list"!
 

I hope you have a blessed Sunday!

Happy Stamping!
HUGS!

A witches hat from 'The Best of Halloween'!

Good morning!
Here is one of my swaps for my downline meeting that I am having today.

This is the August 'Best of Halloween' stamp set.

 Did you notice the scallop edge around the outside edges 

of the black cardstock?? 

This was created with the new Stampin' Trimmer Rotary Addition, 

plus the small scallop cutting blade. 
Woo hoo- I think it is so cool!

 I'll type up a supply list later.

I am off now to finish getting ready for my downline meeting!
I am looking forward to spending my day stamping with them.
 
I hope you have a SENSATIONAL Saturday!
Happy Stamping!
hugs!
