Yesterday was a fun day with my 2 little boys.  They are so sweet.  Trey is a little man & Masen is now talking up a storm.  When the boys went home I was on a mad rush to get everything set up & ready for everyone to come stamp with me!  I had a fun evening stamping with everyone that joined me.   When everyone was gone, I burnt the midnight oil cutting card stock.  

 

Wow- I will be stamping all weekend!!  I have another monthly class here at our home this morning.  Then this afternoon I have lots of my team members coming to stamp with me!  I'll be sharing with them the things I learned & did at On Stage in Minneapolis a couple of weekends ago.  They'll get to see new products!  And I've created several cards for them to make using some of the new products I got from my On Stage pre-order.  I can't wait to see & hear their excitement. 

Tonight I'll be getting everything cleaned up, packed up & ready to go stamping all day again tomorrow.  I'm in Hiawatha tomorrow for my 2 monthly stamp classes there.  Rita & DaraLeah are my hostesses this month!  We have a big group coming.  I am looking forward to our day together!

Gotta run.....

I hope you have a SENSATIONAL Saturday!!
Happy Stamping!

Here is a great guy card!  This is one of the cards everyone stamping with me this weekend for my monthly classes will be making!

 

This is such an awesome embossing folder.  It actually debosses!!  

 

This 'Celebration Duo Embossing folder & this 'Happy Celebrations' stamp set coordinate.  They can be purchased separately or as a bundle!!  These 2 items will be carrying over into the new Annual Catalog in June- but they will not be available as a bundle at that time.

I took 2- 1" squares & cut them in half to make the edge along this card.

I will update this post with supplies sometime soon.

I have had a crazy busy week & a super busy weekend too!

+++++

Yesterday I enjoyed my day with the boys.  We played outside for a couple of hours.  It was a little chillier but almost perfect in my book!  I pulled weeds & worked in the yard, while the boys swag, played in the sand box & road their little gator.  Last night when the boys went home I burnt the midnight oil cutting card stock.

This morning we are up early at 5:00 to mark, sort & load pigs.  Hopefully the semi is on time, so I can be at Manda's to get the boys by 7:30 at the latest.  I'll take the twins to pre-school & spend my day with Trey & Masen.  

Tonight I have several coming to stamp with me at our home!!  I am looking forward to sharing & stamping with all of them!

I hope you have a FABULOUS Friday!!

Happy Stamping!

Here is a quick post.....I'll try to add more later if I can.....busy week with boys, pigs & lots of stamping!!!

 

I TOTALLY LOVE this new stamp set!  This is one that is in the new upcoming catalog that goes live on June 1st to customers & demonstrators can pre-order some things beginning May 2nd.  

But as an On Stage attendee a few weeks ago, this was one of the 'All Attendee Gifts' that Stampin' Up! gave to everyone there.  I was thrilled!!!!!  And I couldn't wait to come home & make a card with it!  You all know that I love piggies! 

So what do you think?  Isn't he just adorable!! 

+++++++

I had a fun day yesterday with the boys.  We enjoyed the beautiful weather (even though a little windy) & were outside alot!  The boys should have been tired.  They ran & played & played some more.  WOO HOO!!  Seems like we've been cooped up inside for way too long!  After the boys went home, I burnt the midnight oil stamping!  I worked on projects for my Spring Fling!  All I can say is they are cute!!!  I made an adorable 12x12 sampler last night.  I will get pictures of it taken & will post them in the next day or so- as I can't wait for you to see it! 

 

This morning I'm up early & headed to Manda's as she has an early meeting before school today.  Deke is off early to chore & head to a meeting & then be in his office at the courthouse.  Tonight when the boys go home I'll be a busy bee cutting card stock!

 

I hope you have a WONDERFUL Wednesday!
Happy Stamping!

I cut the front edge off & added a DSP strip to the bottom layer- for a different type fold & look!

See- when it is shut- you can't tell that the DSP strip is on the inside edge of the card.

And if you look closely you can tell that I tore a strip of Dapper Denim & attached to the front flap.  I just thought it was a neat added detail to the look & feel of the card.

Deke worked late last night- but he is done working in the fields now until fall.  Our lagoons are all empty!  Yeah....now he can work on getting piggies moved & buildings washed- as we get new baby piggies in a couple of weeks.

This morning I'm off to go pick up all of my boys for the day!  Tonight when they go home I'll be a busy bee cutting card stock!!

I hope you had a wonderful Easter!!  We had a busy Easter day!!  I got up early yesterday morning to stamp!  As I'm working on projects for my upcoming team meeting & my upcoming Spring Fling event.  I'm lovin' getting to play with the new catalog products that I got to pre-order, since I was an On Stage attendee.  I can't wait to share lots of projects & new things with all of you in the coming month!!

Our Easter afternoon was spent seeing many of my family.  And then we had a cook out last night with our kids & grandkids, along with a fun Easter Egg hung, bon-fire & a movie!

I am home alone today & I'll be stamping all day & all night!!  I have lots of creating & cutting to get done!  Manda, Steve & their boys & Nathan, Sarah & their boys- are all going to an Iowa Cubs baseball game today since there isn't any school.  The boys are super excited about going!!  I can't wait to hear all the trip when I seen them tomorrow morning. 

Deke is off early to chore & head to the office for his weekly board meeting.  He is hoping that it is dry enough to get back in the field this afternoon & he'll work late tonight.   

I hope you have a MARVELOUS Monday!!
Happy Stamping!

Wow!!  What a cool stamp set this is!  

This is a clean & simple card- but it it is really pretty.

stamp set: 'Easter Message'

card stock:  Chocolate Chip, Crumb Cake, Whisper White

ink:  Chocolate Chip

other:  Clear Wink of Stella Pen, Dimensionals

I don't know if you can tell that I stamped the palm leaf stamp along the edges of the card front- using Chocolate Chip ink onto the Chocolate Chip card stock.  

Check out the colored cross.  
How did I do it?

• I stamped it using the Chocolate Chip ink onto a piece of Whisper White card stock.  
• I took my Clear Wink of Stella Pen, picked up ink off of the top of my inside ink pad lid & lightly colored the cross.  

NOTE:  You have to color carefully, as the Chocolate Chip ink is not permanent & it will bleed/run more if you touch the ink.  I tried to blend it by lightly touching it.

This is how I colored the cross!

AND check out this cross.  It isn't colored in at all- just left plain.

I hope you have a very special Easter day!
Happy Stamping!

Check out these cute little bunny bags that the twins & I made last week.  Brody & Drake both love to make things!!  And they are both very creative!  We had fun! 

The top flap comes up, so that you can put things into it- making the bag.   

We used our SU! medium White Envelopes to make these bags. 

We used the March Paper Pumpkin stamps for the bunny faces.  Aren't they just so cute!!

Other supplies we used are-

• white envelope
• oval punches
• Momento Black ink pad
• retired Pumpkin Pie ribbon
• Retired Pumpkin Pie DSP
• Tear & Tape 
• Glue Dots
• cotton ball

Using the Scoring Tool- I scored 1" on both sides & along the bottom. 

The top opens up like this.  And check out the cotton ball tails!

The boys had fun punching out the ovals, gluing them together, putting on the ribbon & the tails.  

+++++

Yesterday day with a busy day that started out early on the farm with pigs & then all of my boys.  It was SO NICE outside & we enjoyed the beautiful weather.  When they all left, I went & got my hair cut (it is super short again).  I worked on some bookwork & stamping.  And Deke worked in the field.  I road with him a couple of rounds when I took his supper out to him.  I was beat & ended up falling asleep.  Deke worked in the field until after midnight, as he is trying to get as much done as he can before it rains again.

I have the day off today!  I'll be home all day & will be a stamping fool!  I hope I get alot done!

Deke will be home to work on the farm all day.  Since it is suppose to rain, he probably won't be in the field.....so he's gonna be moving pigs & washing out the old finisher.  

Tonight we are suppose to race in Columbus Junction....we'll see if mother nature changes those plans or not.

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

Yesterday was a quite day with my 2 little boys.  We ran errands in town in the morning.  They were really good!  It was just the 3 of us for the whole day, since Deke was gone to a meeting too.  When the boys went home last night I worked on bookwork all night.  

When Deke got home from his meeting late yesterday afternoon he chored & then went to the field.  I took out his supper & road with him in the tractor for a couple of rounds in the field.

Last night was a short night at our house.  This morning we are up bright & early to work on the farm.  We'll go out about 5:00 a.m. to mark, sort & load hogs.  I'll then spend part of my day with all of the boys today too.  Later this afternoon I'm going to go get my hair cut.  And then tonight I plan to stamp!

I hope you have a very special Thursday!!

Yesterday was a fun day with the boys!  We boiled eggs & colored them for Easter!  Loved hearing their excitement & choosing the colors that they wanted their egg to be.  Now I'll have to find time to make Deke deviled eggs with them.  I love boiled eggs, but I think that Brayden & I are the only 2 in the family that eat them.

When the Seeley boys left last night, Masen & I rode in the tractor with Deke for awhile.  When Masen went home I burnt the midnght oil stamping!  I'm making 40 cards to send to a friend.  I need to get them done & in the mail to her.  As I have lots of other stamping things I need to get done for upcoming classes that I have this month. 

This morning Deke is up early to chore & head to the office for a bit & then he'll be on his way to Mt. Pleasant for a meeting.  I'm off to go pick up my boys!  I'll take the twins to pre-school & then Trey, Masen & I will run errands & come back home.  

Tonight when the boys go home I have piles to do.....hope I get alot done.

Wishing you a WONDERFUL Wednesday!!

Gosh- I love this stamp set- 'Special Reason'!  I have used it alot!!  It is in the Occasions Catalog!  And it is one of the many stamp sets that will be retiring!  Make sure you get it before it is retired if it is on your wish list.  

This stamp set also has coordinating framelits, called Stylish Stems Framelits.  These framelits are retiring too. 

This card is one that I made for one of my swaps that I took to the Minneapolis On Stage event last weekend.

This card is just so bright & spring like!

I did the rock & roll technique here.  

How did I do that?  

• I inked the big flower stamp, using the Peek-a-boo Peach ink.  
• I stamped the flower onto my grid paper.
• I then rolled the edges of the flower stamp into Peek-a-boo Peach ink.
• I then stamped the flower onto the Whisper White card stock.
• I then added some Fine Tip Glue to the center of the flowers- be sure to let the glue dry for approx. 30 minutes or more.
  

Note:  The 2 little flowers I inked into the Peek-a-boo Peach ink & stamped them directly onto the Whisper White card stock...I did not rock & roll them. 

stamp set:  'Special Reason' & 'Suite Sayings'- BOTH RETIRING
card stock:  Pear Pizzazz, Peek-a-boo Peach, Whisper White
designer paper:  2016-2018 In Color DSP (Peek-a-boo Peach)- RETIRING

Yesterday was a busy day with the boys.  It was kinda chilly out, but they played outside yesterday afternoon & worked on picking up sticks in the yards, so that Deke could mow.  When the boys went home last night I picked up toys, made supper & placed orders!

This morning I'm off to go pick up the boys for the day.  I hope that the weather is nice enough we can play outside again today.  Tonight when they go home I pan to work on stamping stuff!

I hope you have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!

'Layering Love' =Chalk Board Technique!

I am SO SORRY that I haven't been able to post the past couple of days, while I was gone to Minneapolis to our Stampin' Up! On Stage event.  Our hotel was suppose to include internet, but I was unable to get it to work (even after many calls & a trip to the front desk for help)!  

Check out my pile of card stock & stamped words here!!

This card is one of my On Stage swaps that I made!!  It is clean & simple!  

And I did the Chalk Board technique on it!  I think it turned out super cute!  Don't you!

Notice the little red heart that I punched out of Real Red card stock, using the Owl Builder Punch & added here!

I did a card using this same layout & the Sale-a-bration set- 'Reverse Words'.  You can see that post HERE!

Here are the supplies & the measurements that I used to make this card-

stamp set:  'Layering Love'
card stock:  

• Basic Black- 4 1/4 x 11- fold in half; 1 x 6 (for banner), 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 (to stamp words onto)
• Whisper White- 4 x 5 1/4 (for inside of card), 3 3/4 x 3 3/4
• Real Red- 1/2" strip

designer paper:   

• The Black & White side of the Pop of Pink Specialty DSP- 5 1/4 x 2

ink:  White Craft
other:  Triple Banner Punch, Thick White Twine (6"), Dimensionals, Glue Dot, Owl Builder Punch

Here is my pile of finished cards that I took with me to Minneapolis to swap!  I used some different DSP prints, all from the same DSP!  I hope everyone that got one of these from me liked it!

WOW- It was a super busy weekend!  We had a wonderful time at On Stage! It was great to see so many of my demonstrator friends from all over the US that I haven't seen for quite awhile!!  And I loved spending time with those on my team that got to go with me too!  

I am super EXCITED, as I learned some new things that I can't wait to share with all of my customers & my team members, at my upcoming stamping events!!  AND I am in LOVE the new catalog & I can't wait to be able to share it with all of you!!  The new catalog goes live to customers on June 1st!!!  Per Stampin' Up! rules, I will post more information about the new catalog when I can.  Until then you'll just have to take my word that you'll love it!! 

And wait until you see the new stamp sets & products that I got at this On Stage event.  I can tell you that one of the stamp sets has something on it that is very much a huge part of our family- PIGS!  It is sooooo cute!!!  I can't wait to be able to share & tell you more about all of these things!!  

For today you'll have to gear up for my post later today with the RETIRING LIST!  Be sure you get the items on it that you want, before the are sold out!

I got home from Minnesota yesterday afternoon.  And I then worked on farm bookwork, emails, laundry & such- trying to play catch up!!  I was beat!!!  We were on the go the whole time.  I am glad that I was able to attend this event & I enjoyed my time there learning & visiting with all of my SU! friends.  But I am very happy to be home to my family; I am happy to be able take a shower at home; & I am excited to sleep in my own bed!

This morning I'm off to go pick up all of my boys for the day!!  Deke is off early to chore & head to the office for his weekly board meeting!  Tonight when the boys go home I'll be working on catching up on more things.  And Deke hopes to work in the field again tonight if we don't get too much rain. 

Gotta run......

I hope you have a MARVELOUS Monday!!
Happy Stamping!
Hugs-
