Yesterday was a busy day with the kids.  We played outside & I finally got my 4 pots of flowers planted.  Last night we all went to the races. It was Trey's birthday, so we had cake afterwards in the pits!!  Nathan won his heat & got 3rd in the main.  It was late when we got home.  

This morning we are up early & on the go.  I'll spend my day with the kids & try to help Manda out in getting some things ready for Trey's birthday party they are having tonight.  We'll go to Trey's party & then hurry home to sell hogs tonight at 9:30 p.m.  It will be a short night, as we sell hogs again early in the morning too. 


I hope you have a great Thursday!!

Yesterday I spent my day with Brayden, Masen & Ainslee.  I didn't think Brayden was going to be here, as he was going to 4-H Camp.  He went to camp, but not until 6:00 last night.  So he was here to work with his 4-H pigs & help Papa on the farm again today.  He loves being a farmer!  

Last night we all went to Brody & Drake's baseball game.  My mom & Deke's parents went too.  We then all went uptown for supper afterwards, sat around the fountain at the courthouse & got some ice cream!  

This morning Deke is up early to chore & head to the courthouse for most of the morning.  He'll then head to Mt. Pleasant for a meeting.  I'll spend my day with Masen & Ainslee.  

Today is Trey's birthday!!  Can you believe he is if 5 years old already!  Wow- where does time go?  We'll celebrate his birthday tonight at the races together- cheering on "Uncle" Nathan!  We'll have his birthday party tomorrow night at their home & celebrate then.   

I hope you have a WONDERFUL Wednesday!!

DSP samplers!

Ok- check them out!  Here are 9 different Designer Paper Samplers that I made.  I'll be taking these to my classes, so that everyone can actually see what each DSP pack looks like & they will also be able to see which card stock colors coordinate with them too!

I also had pieces for these all cut & ready for my downline team to finish assembling a set of them, when I had my team meeting a couple of weeks ago.  It was fun listening to them assembling them & talking about which ones were their favorites & why they liked them, etc.  

There are a few more pkgs of NEW DSP that I haven't gotten yet.....so hopefully I'll find time to make a sampler for each of them (like these) when I get them too!
NEW 2019-2021 In Colors
Bird Ballard DSP
Mangolia Lane DSP
Come Sail Away DSP
Woven Threads DSP
Garden Lane DSP
Follow Your Art DSP
Perennial Essence DSP
Mosaic Mood Specialty DSP
 
So let me know which DSP sampler shown above is your favorite?????
Humm- which ones is mine?  That is honestly a hard question & one that I can't answer.  I really love several of them.  And the more I get to create with them, the more some of them have changed my mind!
+++++++++
Oh my gosh.....what a Monday!  It was crazy!!!  I know I was beat when I went to bed last night. 

All 6 kids were here......and sometimes they get along perfectly & sometimes we have some conflicts.  Our day started out with some arguing & so I split them up, had them do certain projects, etc......and our day went much better!  

While the 3 little ones were to be napping, Drake & I stamped!  We created a super cut little truck from the NEW 'Ride with Me' Bundle.  We put balloons in the back of it & spelled out Trey's name too!  I'll hopefully get some pictures of it downloaded in the next few days to share with you!  While Drake & I stamped, Brayden & Brody cleaned out the 4-H pig pen & Grandpa helped haul it away for them with the skid loader.  
 
Last night Manda & Steve got home, so the 3 Seeley boys got to sleep in their own beds last night.  Brayden played baseball, so Deke & I went to watch him.  His team lost.  They just weren't clicking together....and I felt bad for them.  They started out really bad & ended up looking much better as the game went on.  My mom & aunt Virginia were there too, so that was good to get to see them & visit some.  

Today I just have Masen & Ainslee.  I hope to get my flowers planted (that I bought before Memorial Day) & work outside some too & the kids can play!  Tonight we'll go to watch Brody & Drake play baseball!  

I hope you have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!!
Happy Stamping!

This weekend was a whirl wind.......4 stamp classes, kids, cutting.....and I was just exhausted last night.  We are gearing up for another busy week around here!

I had a great group of ladies stamping with me yesterday & they all went home with 6 pretty cards that they got to create!!  I hope they all had a great day together making their cards!!  Rita & Peggy were super hostesses.  They did a tropical theme with decorations on their food table & yummy treats that coordinated with that theme too.  (So cool!)  And they (along with Ruth) were great in getting everything picked up, packed up & ready for me to load up after the classes!!  They knew I needed to hurry home to meet Deke & take his vehicle to town to pick up the 3 Seeley boys from their other grandparents.  We got a Casey's pizza & soft serve ice cream cones for our supper.  And then we watched a movie together.  We were all tired!  As it had been a crazy busy past week/weekend around here!

This morning Deke is up early to chore & head to the courthouse for his weekly board meeting.  The 3 boys are sleeping in & I'm trying to be quiet & catch up on emails & things at the moment, before the other 3 kids get here.  We are going to have a craft day together after bit- so I'll share more sometime this week on our project(s)!  And then hopefully we'll get to enjoy the sunshine & play outside alot today too.  Tonight Brayden has baseball game that we'll all go to together too!  So we have another jam packed day ahead of us! 

Gotta run......
I hope you have a MARVELOUS Monday!!

This is one of the cards that everyone stamping with me at my class last Sunday made!   

My card was inspired by an idea that my dear demonstrator friend, LeeAnn Greff shared with me!  She lives in Minot, ND.  We became friends years ago when we met at a Stampin' Up! Founders Circle event.  We stamp & talk together almost every day by text messaging.  She also was a Million Dollar Achiever & we got to celebrate our achievements together in Minneapolis in April!  You can see my posts on that celebration with her, by CLICKING HERE!  We get to see each other again in July at our yearly SU! trip & I can't wait to see her & all of my SU demo friends then!

Yesterday was a busy day with all 6 kids.  We played outside most of the morning.  The twins had a baseball game last night, so Deke & I took them to their game.  They did a good job with hits & getting on base.  Their whole team has improved alot since the beginning of the year.  After the game the boys went home with their other grandparents.  Deke & I came home & I burnt the midnight oil cutting card stock, as I have 4 stamp classes this weekend.  I am looking forward to seeing everyone joining me!!!

Nathan, Sarah & the kids went to Columbus Junction last night racing.  Nathan won his heat & he won the main too.  I am sad that Deke & I weren't there......but so happy that he won.  Maybe he is finally getting this car figured out a little better.   Their big smiles say it all!

I first saw this bundle when I was at Stampin' Up!

Yesterday was a busy day!  We were on the go all day long!  The 3 big boys are done with this weeks basketball camp now.  So we won't be going back & forth to town today.  
Last night the 3 Seeley boys stayed all night with Uncle Nathan & Aunt Sarah, as we sell hogs early this morning, so I needed them to help out with the boys.  Last night I worked on catching up on my farm bookwork & then cutting card stock.  Deke worked outside on the farm catching up & he finally called it a night & came in about 10:00, for a late supper!
So we had a short night & are up at 5 this morning & headed outside.  We'll mark, sort & load hogs.  The trucker pulled in here last night about 10:00 & slept in his truck.  So we'll wake him up when we are ready to start loading.  When we are done I'll hurry into the house & get ready for Sarah to bring all of the kids here at 8:00. Tonight the twins have a baseball game.  And after that I'll be burning the midnight oil cutting card stock! 

I hope you have a FABULOUS Friday!
Happy Stamping!

A gorgeous 'To A Wild Rose' lace card!

WOW- this is a clean & simple, yet gorgeous card using the 'To a Wild Rose' stamp set, along with the new lace cards & scalloped edge envelops (that are from the Bird Ballard Laser Cut Cards & Tin)!

This stamp set is a 3 step stamp when you make this detailed flower.  It is easy to line up & stamp!  And just gorgeous!
I love both of these......the laser cut (lace) card & the stamp set too!

The light purple card stock is a NEW In Color called Purple Posy!
This is a card that I did at my class last Sunday!  Everyone that made it loved it!  

NOTE:  Since the card front is the lace- we had a Purple Posy die cut label from the Wild Rose Dies on the outside-under the flower & also another one on the inside of the card (on the back side of the front one).  Here is a picture showing how I did this.
 And then I adhered the Gorgeous Grape card stock directly to the inside of the card- so that it showed through the outside, but it wasn't attached to the front lace part.  


stamp set:  'To A Wild Rose'
card stock:
  • Purple Posy-
  • Highland Heather-
  • Mint Macaron- 
  • Crumb Cake-
ink:  Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape, Mint Macaron

Yesterday was another jam packed day!  The Seeley boys are staying with us all week, as their parents are gone.  So I had all of the kids.  The boys all had basketball camp- so I ran back & forth to town with that.  We played outside some & I finally got my 2 hanging basket of flowers planted (now to find time to get the rest of them planted).  And then we all went to the races last night.  There were alot of race cars & it was late when we got home.  Nathan got 4th in his heat & 5th in main.  The track was super dusty- yes I know, that is hard to believe with all of the rain we've had lately!!

This morning we are all up early to start out another busy day!!  Nathan & Sarah both had early meetings, so their kids were here much earlier than normal.  We are getting breakfast & I'll then run the boys to basketball camp.  Their other grandpa Mark will pick them up, as Deke & I will take the other kids with us.  We have our yearly bank farm appointment this morning.  When we get home from our appointment, we'll pick up the twins, come home for a late lunch, put the little ones down for their naps, go get Brayden from basketball camp & be on the run all day!  Who knows what we'll get done or be doing tonight.  We never had a dull moment around here.....and I have LOTS of card stock I need to find time to get cut for my 4 stamp classes I have this weekend. 

Gotta run.....
I hope you have a great Thursday!!
Happy Stamping!

Over the Moon- Sneak Peek!

Today it is simple Saturday!   So check out this card!

What do you think of this clean & simple card?  I think that it would definitely put a smile on whose ever face would get it!  I know all of the cows in this stamp set sure put a smile on my face. 

Well- I know we are hog farmers- but I grew up around cows, as my grandparents had milk cows.  So I just think that this stamp set is super cute!  I love daisies....and and I'm a black & white card lover too! 
Next week I'll have to show it to Drake & have him make one.  He has been wanting to stamp all week & we didn't get it done. So next week he can.  I think he'll like making this card.

This stamp set is called- 'Over the Moon'. I think they should have spelled it over the "Moo"n!

card stock:  
  • Black Black- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"; 3 3/4 x 2 2/3"

Yesterday was a busy day with the Masen & Ainslee.  When they went home last night I burnt the midnight oil cutting card stock! It was a short night, as we are up at 5 this morning to mark, sort & load hogs!  I then will finish getting everything ready for my Iowa Inkers team meeting that I am hosting here at our home today.  I am looking forward to seeing everyone that is joining me. 

Tonight I'll be burning the midnight oil cutting card stock again, as tomorrow is my monthly class in North Liberty!
