A sweet 'Summer Silhouettes' card....

Good morning!!

Here is a sweet card that my downline Judy Hopping created & gave to me.

She cased the layout from this card that I posted earlier.

I love how hers turned out!!

And she used one of my favorite color combinations too!

The ribbon bow is just so stunning & easy to make!

Today our son turns 29 years old.

Gosh....where did the time go.

He is a very tall, handsome young man.

He has reached to great lengths to become a very successful person.

And he is a great dad too.

We are very proud of him!

And we are lucky that he lives only 4 miles away from us & we get to see him often.

Happy Birthday to Nathan!!

And good luck at the races tonight.

I hope you have a FABULOUS Friday!!

Happy Stamping!
Hugs!

Here is another faux iris card....

Good morning!

Here is another faux iris card that I did for a monthly swap that I'm in.

What a fun & easy technique to do.

I will update this post later today with the supply list.

Check out the fold......it is an easel card!

School got out early yesterday due to the heat, so Brayden spent the afternoon with us.

He liked his first day in Kindergarten.

The twins were excited when he woke them up from their naps!

They were happy to see him & get to play with him.

We had a late night racing last night.

Nathan got 8th......struggled with the set up in his heat & had to start 12th in the main.

But at least he finished in one piece.

We'll be racing in Columbus Junction tomorrow night- so hoping he has better luck then.

He is still leading the points in Oskaloosa & Columbus Junction.

So over all he has had a good year 

& been pretty consistent with being in the top 5 most nights.

The twins spent the night with us when we got home from the races.

As we are hoping they sleep in some since they had a late night.

We will have a busy day today as I have several errands to run.

(bank, post office, etc.)

Deke is gone to meetings all day, so it will just be us.

I hope you have a great Thursday!

Happy Stamping!
hugs!

'Best of Halloween' witches hat!

Happy Hump day!!

Here is another Halloween card that I made.

I used the August 'Best of Halloween' 25 year Anniversary set.

It is a clean & simple card- but very cute! 

'Best of Halloween'

cs:  Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black, Whisper White

ink:  Black Stazon

NOTE:

I used the Stampin' Trimmer & the NEW Rotary Addition with the Small Scallop cutting blade. 
That is how I cut the black scallop square.

supplies:  1/8" Basic Black Taffeta ribbon, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Gold Glitter, dimensionals, glue dots

Today is the first day of school in Sigourney for Manda & Brayden.

Wow.....where did the summer go??

I hope they both have a very good year!

Tonight we race in Osky!

I hope Nathan & the #52 team have good luck!

I think the twins will end up spending the night with us afterwards, since we'll be getting home late.

I hope you have a WONDERFUL Wednesday!

Happy Stamping!
Hugs!

Oh my.....today is Brayden's first day of Kindergarten!

Good morning!

Look at that precious smile!

Today is Brayden's first day of Kindergarten.

I don't know where the last 5 years have gone.....it sure flew by.

We all had a fun day together yesterday.

 I'm so glad that he got to spend the day with the twins & myself.

I can't wait to hear all about his first day of school!
