A 'Santa's List' flip card!

Good morning!
Here is another card for my Christmas card/kit class.
(I will update supplies in the next few days.)

The different ways to use this Circle Thinlit are endless!
I just love it!

Brody has a doctor's appointment with Neurology today in Iowa City.
Manda & Steve will be taking him.
He will be having an x-ray this time (no sedated MRI)!
He isn't scheduled to see Dr. Menezes this time, he is to just see Lonnie.
Please keep Brody in your prayers that the bone hole is closing now & all looks good!

So Drake is going to be hanging out with Grandma today in my Stamp Studio!
I am gaining......oh my gosh do I have piles & piles of card stock everywhere!

I hope you have a wonderful day!!
Happy Stamping!
Hugs!

Another Poinsettia Christmas card.....

Good morning!

Here is another card that I designed for my upcoming Christmas card class.
 Isn't it a beautiful card!
(I will update my posts with supply lists sometime in the next few days.)

Wow- Mackenzy came yesterday & spent the day working on my trim & flooring!
He isn't quite done- but made alot of progress & did an awesome job!
He is very picky & I love his corners & edges, as he puts precision & detail into his work.
I don't have enough trim for him to finish the job, so I will make a trip to Menards the first part of next week & get a few more oak pieces to get stained & varnished for him to come back sometime next week & get it all done!
I didn't have time for him to be here.....as I needed to be stamping every spare minute I had.
But I have also been wanting him to get here to do this for me- so I'm not going to complain but be thankful & whatever I get done, I get done for STYC.

The twins loved watching Mackenzy working on the trim & he was so good with them. 
You can tell he has 2 little boys at home & is a wonderful daddy. 
He ate lunch with us too since he was here, so that he didn't have to run to town.
 I made baked shell taco salads.
It was nice to visit with him & I think he liked my tacos as he had seconds.

Aunt Kathy is stopping by today & I'm sending some pieces home for her to Big Shot cut for me.
Plus Judy has been doing some Big Shot cutting for me too!
I have so many cute projects to share & I can't wait for the girls to see them on Saturday at my STYC!

Ok....back to work I go!
I hope the boys play well today & I'm going to try to find a good movie for them to watch while I create & cut.
I hope you have a WONDERFUL Wednesday!
Happy Stamping!
Hugs!

Here is another card for my Christmas Card Class.
When I first saw this Dove stamp set I can honestly say that I wasn't thrilled about it.

I love the simple elegance of this for a beautiful Christmas card.

I will be posting pictures of them sometime in the next few days.
We had a fun time at the Pumpkin Patch yesterday.
The 3 boys just loved it!
It was windy & a little chilly- but still so fun!
I'm glad we went.
Nathan got 3rd in the main tonight.
I wish him good luck tomorrow night too!
I hope you have a SUPER Saturday!!

'Santa's List' Christmas card

Good morning!
Here is another one of my Christmas Card class cards.
It is a simple, yet elegant card created with 'Santa's List'.

cs:  Crumb Cake, Early Epsresso, Whisper White
ink:  Early Espresso
supplies:  Big Shot, Pretty Prints Embossing Folder, Tasteful Trim Die, Word Window Punch, 2 Way Glue Pen, Dazzling Diamonds Glitter, dimensionals

This week sure flew by!
Aunt Kathy came down the past 2 days to help me get left over cards that were cut all stamped & things put away from my classes that were last week.
I'm thankful for her help- as we spent several hours doing that with the 2 of us together, I can't imagine having done it alone.
I needed the boxes & things empty so that I can use the sets, ink pads, punches, etc. for creating & working on STYC projects for next weekend!

Last night Susie's Hair Hut was open with Steven & Deke getting their hair cut.
Now to find time to squeeze the 3 boys into my schedule, as they all need hair cuts too.
They probably aren't getting theirs cut until after STYC is over with, as every spare minute I have I'll be getting ready for it.

There is no school in Sigourney today due to Parent/Teachers Conferences that past 2 nights.
So Manda & I planned 2 months ago to take the 3 boys to the Pumpkin Patch at Grinnell.
We are off there this morning.
Deke has meetings all day.
 I am then home later this afternoon to stamp!
I'll be stamping all night- as I have Cathy's workshop in Cedar Rapids tomorrow morning that I will be creating & cutting for.
Plus I several boxes of stamps that I need to get sorted & bagged & ready for delivery too.
The guys are headed to Memphis, Missouri to race tonight.

I'm bummed- as this is my very favorite race track to go to & 
I'm not able to go with them this weekend.
I hope that Nathan has good luck!
Go #52 Wood Racing Team!
I'll be getting text message updates from Deke on the happenings at the races.

I hope you have a FABULOUS Friday!
Happy Stamping!
Hugs!
