well, here we are on the last day of 2013! WOW, doesn’t life move fast. This is one of our projects for my new class in 2014. Made with an envelope punch board.
Stamps Used: HH20 lots of dots, E210 Birthday Wishes, F194 2″ swiss dot B252 KB’s Three Candles.
I’m not going to see the new year in…too old for that and too much work to do to get ready for the Grapevine, TX show.
It has been quite a winter here in Green Bay! Today’s temp -15 degrees. yep, we are in the red! The high for today is 1 degree. I have three shirts on today, two pair of pants, long underwear, two pair of socks…I think I’ll be o.k.! It’s pretty warm in the shop but because we stand on cement your feet can be cold which makes your whole body cold. Here’s a nice winter card for the day!
Go Pack Go! We made it into the playoffs! The 49ers will come to Green Bay next week to play in the cold!
We have used our fair share of sympathy cards this year… This card was made by Karissa…so simple and beautiful.
My family will all leave in the morning and it will be back to just Kevin and I. I think we’ll eat out for the next several days….little tired of cooking! But so thankful for family that loves us and loves coming to be with us.
here are a couple of cards Karissa made when she was home for Christmas. She had to go back on Christmas day so she only got to spend Tuesday and Wednesday at home. I wanted to do a lot of work on Tuesday but she convinced me to go shopping instead! But we had a great day together and I can work any old day! 🙂
Christmas day was busy with the usual turkey, ham, potatoes, stuffing etc.. but on Thursday we made porgies. It is a family dish that has been handed down for generation to generation. I made them myself this time with a little help from my Dad and Brad.
here they all are drying the dough. We made about 95 of them. We only had 35 left over! I was hoping to freeze some for later but we sure did enjoy them. My brother Brad and my sister Sonya and I had not had them for several years. We really enjoyed them. They were worth cooking all day for. Kevin did the dishes tonight so that us kids cook play Rook together. It was a good day!
Merry Christmas! Since Xmas was at my house it was a very busy day today. I cooked a turkey and a ham and we have very little left overs! I think it might be those two teenage boys with hollow legs! Very tired tonight but had a nice day! Hope your day was good too!
Good Evening…just a quick post tonight. Of course we still have Christmas cards! This card uses one of our pins from the pins sets that we make and sell in our booth. The white embossed paper is actually a shimmer paper and so it really shines in real life.
We have lots of family here so I have to be up early to cook so I’m off to bed!
so this morning I have a card from my friend JoAnne at The Stamp Shoppe in Schofield, WI. It is so cute..I love the red nose! We have a few more Christmas cards and then a awesome sympathy card from Karissa coming up. I have been working on the booth displays for next year so those cards will start showing up on the blog.
We got about 8 inches of snow yesterday. It was beautiful and I even had to go out and drive in it and it was still beautiful 🙂 Needless to say we have a lot of snow on the ground. Some years we don’t even have snow for Christmas so this is really nice. Kevin will be out plowing for most of the day! I think he drags it out so he doesn’t have to make stamps 🙂 Have a good Monday.
I’ve been seeing these doors on Pintrest and have been wanting to try them! I really love how the wreath came out on this one. I used Lifestyle Crafts Scallop and Circle dies since they have soooo many sizes. I punched out with creme paper and then with jelly bean green ink and our pine branch I stamped the branches. Of course I had to include a fun cube…the sending fun cube which is one of my favorites!
Stamps Used: F181 KB’s Pine Branch, DD59 Sending Fun Cube
For those who have been asking…I do have in stock the last three embossing folders…the candy one, the branches and the swirl. The embossing folder with the ornaments was discontinued by Cuttlebug. Ugh why do they also discontinue the good stuff???
It’s Friday! With a holiday week ahead. We have lots of family coming next week so excited!
I had to take a picture this morning. It’s snowing again!!! If you look at the trees you can see all the snow coming down. It is so pretty! Have a great weekend!
Another elegant white and silver card. Really liking the looks of silver and white.
Stamps Used: DD60 circles & dots, CC23 Christmas Fun Cube, HH25 KB’s Ornament.
We are frantically working like mad to get all the stamps made for the Grapevine, TX show so that next week we can enjoy the holidays with family!
We have a big day today. Plowing all the snow! It will take Kevin several hours to plow so I’m on my own making stamps this morning. The house is clean and I’m ready to roll!
It’s hard to see in the picture but this card is made with shimmer paper. The white embossed background is white shimmer paper. The silver shimmers and then just plain white. Makes such a stunning card. I used Silver Metallic Encore ink. It is one of my favorite inks. It is a pigment ink but it dries fast. Not as fast as dye ink but close!
Stamps Used: C217 Be Joyful!, G145 Dotted Christmas Tree, D253 KB’s heart flag, G83 Peace and Joy at Xmas, B146 Dotted Christmas Tree sm
We are so going to have a white Christmas this year! The snow just keeps coming and coming. It’s beautiful!
This card seems perfect for today! Stamps Used: AA10 Dual Dots, AA15 Mini Dual Dots, J25 Carrot Border, C218 Think Snow, F91 Snowman Holiday, A212 KB’s Snowflake. It was really quick and easy.
This was my commute in to work this morning!
We have been very busy getting the carts ready for 2014! It’s a big job and keeps us well occupied and out of trouble 🙂
I love the colors used on this card. It’s such a good baby boy card!
We are getting more snow! We’ve had to plow a couple times already. The ground is so beautiful with all the snow. Kevin had to shovel a path to get from the shop to the house tonight. I wonder what morning will bring??
