A 'Gorgeous Grunge' birthday card......for Steve!

Good morning!

Here is Steve's birthday card......another 'Gorgeous Grunge' one.

You might call this a quickie.

It is clean & simple.

 'Gorgeous Grunge' & 'Bring on the Cake'

cs:  Whisper White, Smoky Slate & Basic Gray

ink:  Basic Gray

supplies:  2 1/2" Circle punch, Label Bracket punch, Extra Large Oval punch, dimensionals

NOTES: 

* I rounded the top corner of the card using the 1 3/4" circle punch.  

* I used 4 of the Label Bracket punch outs to create the layer behind the works- Birthday Wishes.

We had a nice, but busy day yesterday!

The twins went home about 9:00 & I did laundry & cooked meat.

I then worked in my stamp studio a couple of hours, cleaning off my table some 

& I made Steve's birthday card.

My sister-in-law & brother-in-law (Sheryl & Dan) stopped to visit a bit.

(which was awesome!)

Then we went to the Seeley's home for the twins birthday supper/party!

It was a nice time had  by the Seeley & Wood combined families!

 The boys opening their gifts.

 The twins got a bubble machine (you can't see the bubbles).

Too bad you couldn't hear all of the laughs & have seen them trying to 

catch the bubbles....it was super cute!

 I'm off to my studio with my coffee to continue to clean up.

Then heading to town in a bit to go on a walk & visit with my sister-in-law Sheryl.

Then I'll be back home to spend the rest of the day/night in my studio cleaning & stamping!
I have LOTS to get done today for my upcoming workshops this week!

So that means I'll be drinking lots of coffee too.

I hope you enjoy a wonderful Labor Day- whatever you may be doing!

Happy Stamping!
Hugs!

To the new Mr. & Mrs.....

Good morning!!
Wow- what a busy weekend!!

This is the wedding card that I made for Kimi & Mike yesterday.

When creating this I was inspired by a card that I saw at convention that Debbie Peters made.

I added some more layers & dimensionals- but the center piece is pretty much just like hers was.

I think that this is very elegant!

And I love the printed window sheet.

 'Label Love'

cs:  Whisper White, Basic Gray, Smoky Gray, Brushed Silver

dp:  Quatrefancy Specialty (printed window sheet)

ink:  Versamark

supplies:  Silver Embossing Powder, Heat Tool, Jumbo Rhinestones, Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punch, Artisan Label punch, 5/8" Whisper White Organza Ribbon, Big Shot, Modern Mosaic embossing folder, dimensionals, glue dot

I think this card is really cool.

I just might have to make this be one of my 'All Occasions' cards for my class next March.

What do you think?

Should I?

The twins were here yesterday as Steve took pictures for a weddng.

I got their hair cut.

(Which wasn't an easy task, but ended up turning out ok in the end!)

Then they went to Kimi & Mikes' wedding with us.

They were thrilled to get to see Brayden.

It was a beautiful celebration!

And we wish them much happiness!

The twins stayed over night & will be heading home soon.

We have another busy day today!

We will be celebrating the twins 2nd birthday!

Manda & Steve are having family come to their home for supper tonight for the boys' party.

I'm cooking a hog now so that we can take pork with us for sandwiches.

I hope you have a SUPER Sunday!!

Happy Stamping!
Hugs!

"Congratulations" to Nathan on his WIN at Columbus Junction last night & for being the 2013 Stock Car Champion there!

Here is Drake's M&M 'flip' birthday card!

Good morning!

This is Drake's M&M 'flip' birthday card.

It is the same as Brody's except that I made the base of his Real Red 

instead of Pacific Point.

cs:  Pacific Point, Real Red, Gumball Green, Chocolate Chip, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight

supplies:  Big Shot, Circle Flip framelit, Pacific Point Stitched ribbon, 2 1/2" Circle punch, 3/4" circle punch, Stripes embossing folder

retired:  Alphabet sets

 I think that this card turned out really cute!

Here are both of the cards together!

Did you notice how I made the circle on one of these at the top & 

the other one is at the bottom?

It is so easy to just fold it differently to either of these.

Today is our son-in-law Steve's birthday!

I hope he has a special day!

Tomorrow I'll hopefully share his card with you!

Today is also a busy day with weddings for our family.

Manda & Steve have a wedding that Steve is taking pictures at,

 so the twins will be spending the day with us.

Plus,

Brayden's mom (Kimi) & Mike are getting married this afternoon too-

so we'll be attending their wedding & taking the twins along.

 

I hope you have a SUPER Saturday!!

Happy Stamping!
Hugs!
