WOW- Christmastime Is Here Suite!

WOW!!  What an awesome suite......so endless possibilities!  I love it!!  And I've been having fun creating with these new products!

YOU CAN CLICK HERE TO FIND OUT MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS CHRISTMASTIME IS HERE SUITE! 

I used the November Special- 'Christmastime Is Here' suite to make this pretty card.  It is a totally Susie card......I love the earth like colors (Mossy Meadow & Early Espresso), along with nature's beauty (pine needles & pine cones)!!  These pine cones are so cool!  They are so realistic!! 

Look at how you can stamp these pine cones & then punch them out- using the Leaf Punch!!

 Cool huh!  It works great to punch these out like this!! 

This stamp set is really cool.  The big outline of the Rose/leaves/pines/pinecones- is a Red Rubber stamp.  And then all of the other stamps are Photopolymer.  They are the Distinktive Stamp Images!!  

This stamp set is easy to line up & stamp.  But when you use your Stampatratus it is super easy & super fast to do!

stamp set:  'Christmas Rose'
card stock:

• Early Espresso- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 4 1/4"- fold in half for card base; 3 3/4 x 3 1/2"; 3 3/4 x 3/4"; 1 1/4 x 2 1/4"
• Mossy Meadow- 4 x 5 1/4"
• Whisper White- 3 1/2 x 3 1/4"- stamp pine needles/leaves/pine cones along the top edge; 1 1/2" strip- stamp words onto this & use die to cut out; 4 x 5 1/4"- stamp words onto for inside of the card.

Yesterday I spent my day with Masen & Ainslee.  We kept busy drawing, coloring, cutting & doing inside projects.  Last night I worked on stampin' stuff.  Manda, Brody, Drake & Trey stopped out for awhile to visit. 

This morning we are up early at 5:00 a.m. to go outside to mark, sort & load a semi of hogs.  I'll then spend the rest of my day/night stamping!

I hope you have a SENSATIONAL Saturday!!

Happy Stamping!

Yesterday was a busy day with the kids.  Last night I had an eye dr appointment & Deke went with me, as I knew that they were going to dilate it.  We ate Mexican for supper after my appointment.  And called it a night when we got home. 

Many of you have asked that I keep you updated on my eye- so here is what I found out.  I have a big "glob in the back side of my right eye".  It will hopefully break loose on its own & be absorbed within- in the next month or so.  My vision has changed alot since my last complete eye exam a few years ago.  I do have full vision (including side view) right now- even though I have floaters, black specks & lighting flashes happening in my right eye.  If my vision or anything changes in the next few weeks- I'll go immediately back to the dr.   He is hoping that it takes care of itself & I don't have to have anything done with it.  So I will go back in a month, get my eyes rechecked & hopefully it will be all healed.  I will then get new glasses ordered at that time.  So I pray that this happens. 

Our GANG on Halloween-

 Brody, Drake & Trey

 Brayden & Masen

Ainslee & Masen

Today I'll spend my day with all of the kids here.  Tonight I'll be stamping!

Gotta run.......

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

No Tricks today......just treats!!  Wishing we all have a great Halloween Day!!

I know that our little ones are super excited about getting to go Trick or Treating!  I hope the girls take photos of them so that I can share here on my blog in the day or so.

This is one of the cards that everyone made at my Halloween Treats classes earlier this month.

Yesterday was a busy day with the kids.  School got out early.  So we played inside- drawing a race track onto a big sheet of paper; games & ipads.  When the kids went home last night I worked on stamping stuff.  And Deke worked up to Nathan's helping him with some things. 

This morning I am headed to Manda's.  I will take the twins to school & spend my day with Trey & Ainslee.  The kids have a full day of school today.  Tonight I have an eye dr appointment & Deke is going with me.  I have been having migraines, flashes & floaters in my right eye for the past couple of weeks & it is literally driving me nuts.  And it is kicking my butt.  Those of you that have seen me in the past couple of weeks know about this.  So I hope I find out tonight that it isn't anything too serious, can get some new glasses & get my eyes back to normal, so I can see again & feel better.  

Gotta run......I hope you have a very special Halloween today!!

Happy Stamping!

Feels LIke Frost

Have you seen the Feels Like Frost Specialty DSP?  It is on page 41 in the Holiday Catalog!  

Oh my Gosh.......It is a gorgeous, with many different photographic images in it!  

This card is one of the ones everyone at my Holiday Extravaganza made.  It isn't a traditional holiday card.  But it could easily be changed to be for many different Occasions. 

I really like the way it turned out!  Do you like it?

I added some Champagne Shimmer paint to it for the added sparkle!

My week is crazy........again.
"Someday" I hope to get caught up on things.
Sorry this is short & sweet!
I'll post measurements & supplies, etc......sometime hopefully soon when I get time.

Yesterday we woke up to about 4" of snow!  It was pretty with snow all over the trees & ground.  Thankfully most of it didn't stick to the roads.  

Yesterday was a busy day with the kids.  And the boys got out of school early due to Parent/Teachers Conferences, so the gang was here! When they went home I worked on bookwork awhile.  When Deke got in we ran up to Nathan's shop (where it was bright) & I cut his hair.  We ate a late supper, I did some more bookwork & called it a night.

This morning I'm off to Manda's, as she has to leave early.  I'll take the 3 Seeley boys to school & spend my day with Masen & Ainslee.  The 3 boys get out of school early again today, so I'll have the gang here all afternoon.  Tonight I hope to get lots of stamping done.

Hope we all have a WONDERFUL Wednesday!!
Happy Stamping!

Some cute snowmen!

So.....today's post isn't stamping, but I just had to share some cute snowmen that I recently painted!!

These are about 4 feet tall or so.  And I think they turned out super cute!!  I free hand painted them.  They are all just a little different!

My friend Chris's husband (Tony) made these for me a couple of years ago.  I got one for myself & then thought they would be so cool, that I had him make 2 more for me, so that Manda & Sarah could both have one too!  Mine is just a little wider than the girl's, but they are all the same height. 

Each one of them has a different colored bottom......Sarah's is red, mine is blue & Manda's was green!

I decided that they needed a pipe hanging out of their mouth.  I am hoping to find some wooden bows or get some material to add around their necks.  And maybe find something to add to their hat too.

On the back side of them I painted scarecrows (a couple of month's ago).  I already posted them.  You can CLICK HERE to see the scarecrow side of these!   They turned out cute too!

 

Yesterday was a busy day with the kids.  We made a quick trip to Osky to the bank to deposit a hog check.   The 3 boys rode the bus here after school.  And they all enjoyed pretzel snacks that my dear friend (downline) Julie made!  When everyone was gone home I worked on stamping stuff.  Deke was in the field, so I took supper out to him & rode a couple rounds in the tractor with him.  

This morning I'm off to town.  I'll take the twins to school & spend my day with Trey& Ainslee again.  School gets out early today- so the other 3 boys will be here then.  Tonight I'll be stamping when everyone has gone home.

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

I colored him purple......and like the way he turned out!!

Check out this box!  It turned out cute.  I put a divider in it & a handle!

This is what it looks like from the top view of it!  Neat huh!

This is one of the many treats everyone made that came to my Halloween Treats classes this month!

I have the pattern in my box of things from my Halloween Treats class yet- that I haven't had time to unpack.  I will look it up & share more information about how to make this sometime later this week when I get time to get caught up on things.

Yesterday was another long day of stamping!!  My friends Christy & Lynda joined me for the day- they stamped & I cleaned & packed up!!  Deke came over at 7:00 last night to help me put away the tables & haul everything home.  My Holiday Extravaganza for 2019 is now in the books.  It was a good one.....but I am tired & have lots to catch up on.  

I am hitting the ground running again this week.......need to get everything unpacked, put away & start all over again......as this next weekend kicks off my first Christmas Stamp-a-Stack for November!  

We are up early this morning.  Deke is off early to chore & head to the courthouse for his weekly board meeting.  I will be working on getting my family room full of stamping stuff put away.......before I head to Manda's.  I'll take the twins to school & spend my day with Trey & Ainslee.  Tonight I'll be working on stamping stuff!

Gotta run.

I hope you have a MARVELOUS Monday!!

Happy Stamping!

Coffin box!

This little  Vampire is so cute!

Check out this little coffin box that everyone made at my 

Halloween Treats classes earlier this month!

The coffin box is a pre-made box......you just have to add 

adhesive & glue dots to stick it together.

I did use the awesome Stylish Scroll Embossing Folder on the coffin lid.

Doesn't that look cool!

The Vampire & the words were cut out using the Ornate Frames Dies.  

I added a little bat, that is part of the Every Season Punch Pack.

Yesterday was a GREAT DAY OF STAMPING!  Everyone that joined me went home with 21 fall/winter projects!!  Several cards, some ornaments & home decor projects!!  I can't think everyone that helped out in any way enough- including bringing food, helping to clean up, etc! I was beat when I got home last night.  I made Deke sandwiches & took them to the field to him.  I rode a round in the tractor with him & went to bed at 8:00 p.m.- which is super early for me.

This morning I'm up to work on things & headed out the door soon.  I'll spend my whole day in South English again today- clean up, packing up & getting everything back home.  Deke will come over there tonight to help me pick up the tables & chairs & haul everything home.

Gotta run......

I hope you have a SUPER Sunday!!
Happy Stamping!

A Wooden Snowman

I LOVE this wooden snowman.  Isn't he just adorable!!

Deke cut LOTS of the circles to make snowmen from trees around our house.  

I then I used the LET IT SNOW- embellishment kit & some other current Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog products to decorate him.

Look at this box of wood pieces I've been gluing together to make into the snowmen.

This snowman is one of the projects that everyone is making today with me at my Annual Holiday Extravaganza!!  This is a full day of stamping!  Everyone will go home with 20 projects that are fall/winter/Christmas themed!

I need to thank my demonstrator friend LeeAnn Greff for sharing a snowman she had made.....as that is where my idea came from to make these.  

  I'll share more details about him in the next few days when I find time to catch up!

 ++++++++

Gotta run.........I have a full weekend jam packed with lots of stamping!!  I have a big group coming & and I can't wait to see everyone to stamp & share with them!

I hope you have a SUPER Saturday!
Happy Stamping!

Yesterday was a busy day with kids & pigs.  I worked on the farm, helping Deke with the new baby pigs.  Thankfully my mom came down to keep Ainslee & Trey for me, so they didn't have to go outside with us.  When the kids went home last night I burnt the midnight oil again cutting card stock.  

This morning I'm up early to work on stamping stuff.  I'll then spend my day with Ainslee & Masen.  Tonight Deke & I will go to South English with a car full of things!!   We'll set up tables/chairs & some of the projects for Annual Holiday Extravaganza & then come home to make all of the food & finish getting everything all cut, packed up & ready for tomorrow's big event.  

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

They both just make me smile!
 

Check out these little Halloween treat boxes made with the 

Tiny Curvy Keepsakes Boxes!
They were both projects from my Halloween Treats classes 
I had earlier this month.  

Which one do you like better?

The Pumpkin or the Ghost???

The stripes on the pumpkin come from the 'Tiny Keepsakes' stamp set.  

The leaf & the pumpkin face come from the 'Harvest Hellos' stamp set.

And I punched the leaf out using the- Every Season Punch Pack (leaf punch).

Check out the cute Googly Eyes on page 57 in the 2019 Holiday Catalog.

The Tag comes from the Mini Curvy Keepsakes Box Dies.

And the words come from the 'Boo to You' stamp set.

And are you wondering how did I make the ghosts mouth?

I used my Spring Punch & cut off one of the little ends!  

More info on the supplies & things later next week!
