This card was a favorite of many that have stamped with me this past week. 
And I love it- as I always love Black & Ivory cards.

I hope to get caught up in the next day or so with supply lists on the posts that I haven't had to time to do lately.

Today the twins have their 2 year check up!

I am anxious to see how much they weigh.

And looking forward to hearing what Dr. Mary's says, as she hasn't seen them for several months.
They have grown & changed to much.

It is going to be another scorching hot day!

I sure wish we'd get some rain- as we need it so bad.
Tonight I'm a farmer,

I hope you have a marvelous Monday!

Happy Stamping!

'Gently Falling' with the masking tape technique......

Good morning!
I'm running behind....I still have stuff to cut & pack up for my workshop today.

So I'm sharing one of the cards we'll be making.

The girls on Thursday night made this & all thought it was cool!

It is the masking tape technique.

Tomorrow I'll post & share more information about it!

These are my colors!!

And my favorite season too!

I love FALL!

I sure enjoyed having Brayden with me this week.
I guess I should say we all did- Papa, me & the twins!

I was sad to see him go home with his mom & Mike last night.

He is such a sweetie!

We have had alot of fun this past week.
And made lots of great memories!

I got my hair cut yesterday morning.
Then spent my whole day/night stamping!

Brayden even stamped with me & picked out what he wants to take to 

school for his Halloween Treats this year!

He LOVED the heat & stick powder & the Black Glitter!

(Imagine that!)

It was so cute when he saw how it was done.

So I finally got all 10 projects created for my upcoming Halloween Treats class!

Oh my GOSH is all I can say!
They are SO cute!!!

I will be taking them with me to my workshop today to show everyone there.

I can't wait until they see them.

My Halloween Treats class is on 09/29 in North Liberty & I'd love to have you join me!

Ok.....gotta run......

I hope you have a SENSATIONAL Sunday!
Happy Stamping!
Hugs!
