Our whole past month/week/day is just the same......totally CRAZY!!!!  

Yesterday was a busy & fun day with all 5 of the boys.  We then went to watch the twins play ball 5:30 & they did a great job!!  It is so fun to see the little ones learning how the game is played.  When we got home from their game, I was a farmer & worked late on the farm with Deke.  Nathan & Steven helped us too, as we were sorting fat hogs from our outside lots.  Thankfully we got done just as it was getting too dark to see.  I then burnt the midnight oil cutting card stock!!

It was a short night, as this morning we are up early at 4 a.m. to headed out to work on the farm & get ready to load hogs.  We have a semi coming at 4:30 a.m.  & then one coming at 7:00 a.m.  The boys will be here by 8:15 to spend the day with us- so I hope everything goes smoothly on the farm & I'm done & back in the house for them!!  We have our yearly farm/bank appointment this morning too at 10:30.  And then tonight when the boys go home I will be stamping!!  I have a great group joining me at our home for my one of my June monthly stamp classes. 

Gotta run....
I hope you have a FABULOUS Friday!
Happy Stamping!

'Daisy Delight'


 
This is a clean & simple card using the "Daisy Delight' stamp set & coordinating Daisy Punch.

Check out the pretty DSP that coordinates too.  It is called Delightful Daisy!  
It is bright & cheery too!

I did use my Paper Snips & fussy cut out the leaves that I tucked in behind the Daisy & stuck down with Glue Dots.  

I thought it needed something more too and didn't want to take away from the Daisy, so I add the staples on each end of the strip through the center.  

I think it turned out pretty cute!  Especially since I just used scraps laying on my counter.

Happy Birthday Thinlit!

WOW- check out this super cute Happy Birthday Thinlit!!!  I love it!!  It is a big size (just perfect for a card front) & it is a cool font too!  Oh, and it cuts out so easy too with the Big Shot!!

This is a card that I created as a sneak peek, at my Spring Fling the end of April.  

The gold dotted DSP is now retired.....it is from the Pop of Pink DSP in the 2016-2017 Annual Catalog, that retired on 5/31.

Check out the gold corners.  I just cut a 1" square & using my paper snips I cut it in 1/2 diagonally.  It just adds that extra splash of color doesn't it!

I hope you have a SUPER Sunday!
Happy Stamping!
