Good Morning!  I got all the new stamps loaded on the website this morning so I feel like I’ve accomplished something today! 😉

Heading to set up now and get ready for the weekend.

Love the triple circle cards…they make a  quick card.  Stamps Used:  G213 Merry Christmas Tina Lg, DD63 Circles & Dots, DD75 Christmas Cheer Fun Cube, F54 Joyous holiday season, A214 Santa Face Sm, BB22 Snowflake Fun Cube

Have a great weekend!

Snow Fun!

Christmas Cards

Well, my brother put on Facebook yesterday that there was snow in MN!  Glad we are still in warm weather.  We have arrived in Carson, CA for the Carson show.  We will get set up tomorrow and then the show begins on Saturday.  Hot and Dry is the forecast for the weekend which is good since our booth will be in the atrium this year.

Christmas is coming and so we have a few Christmas cards coming your way.  Stamps used:  E261 X-mas Snow Fun, E259 KB’s Penguin, EE51 KB’s Santa Hat, & BB22 Snowflake Fun Cube

Fall Season

Good  Afternoon!  I know it’s hard to believe but I don’t think I’ve done a thing today!  Just relaxing! Kevin is helping his Mom do some projects around the house and I’m doing nothing 🙂

I have aspirations to make some of these…

owl scrubbie

they are little scrubbies on the inside with cotton yarn around.  My sister-in-law has been making them and I used one while doing dishes this morning (so I guess maybe I did SOMETHING!) and I really liked it.  I think I’m going to make them round…not a fancy owl 🙂  I was doing it while waiting for the internet…it’s a little slow here but workable.  I haven’t managed to get one done I keep taking it out.  Tamara says to do it loose and I think I’m just doing it too tight.  I got her to show me and now she has it half way done…that’s an easy way to get one done…have her do it!

Another fall card this morning.  I used the brother machine to make the flourish.  Stamps Used:  FF10 Pumpkins, F177 thinking of you fall, D203 Fall Season

 

Fall!

Good Morning!  We had a nice drive to Yuma (to Kevin’s Mom’s place!) last night and arrived at 10 pm.  We need to get the truck’s oil and tires rotated so we plan to do that today.  Then we are just going to enjoy the day with Kevin’s Mom and Sister…maybe do a few projects! 🙂

Here’s a nice card for fall.  This time I used the pumpkins without putting any pumpkin faces on them.

Stamps Used:  FF39 KB’s Pumpkins, D203 Wonderful Fall Season

Happy Halloween!

Good Morning!  Happy Halloween!

Well, once again, Kevin was wide awake at 4:30 am this morning!   Not adjusting to this time change thing at all this year.  Our friends live about 40 miles from the show and with traffic being awful in Phoenix…Kevin decided at 5:00 am to get up since he was just laying there and head to where the show is before the traffic got bad.  Still took us about 50 minutes to get to Mesa even though we left at 5:30 am!

So we are now sitting at Cracker Barrel enjoying a nice relaxing breakfast waiting for the text telling us we can set up.  Hopefully we can get set up early and get back to our friends before the evening traffic!

The embossing folder used on this card is probably one of my favorites…it’s very versatile!  I did use a crayon over it to darken the raised areas.  Stamps Used:  FF10 Pumpkins, A24 spider, sm, D198 Happy Halloween, CC67 KB’s pumpkin faces, EE50 KB’s Ghost, JJ14 Journal Block

If you are in the Mesa, AZ area…information regarding the show can be found at http://www.rubberstampevents.com

Have a great weekend!

Good Morning!  We did make it to Flagstaff, AZ last night.  We may be getting a little too old for this long travel.  Boy were we tired!  How is sitting in a truck doing nothing all day so tiring?? We’ve been having trouble with the time change (which has never happened before!)

We have only a few hours to go to get into Phoenix this morning so we are having a nice relaxing morning.  Nice to sleep in but of course we were awake at 4:30 am Flagstaff time since that is 6:30 our time.  So while it seems like sleeping in we are really up fairly early!  We are heading to some friends of ours that we knew when we lived here so will be fun to catch up with old friends.  Kevin and I actually met and married in Phoenix!

Another halloween card since we are fast approaching halloween. Stamps Used:  F225 Halloween Hi, C201 KB’s spider, DD65 Halloween Fun Cube.

I was not able to get the new stamps on the internet since I kept losing internet connection along the way so I finally gave up.  Maybe this morning…the internet seems fairly good at this hotel.

Halloween Hauntings

hall haunt

Good Morning!  Kevin has us up at the crack of dawn…4:30 am  I think that might even be hours before the crack of dawn!  Since he couldn’t sleep he decided the truck should be moving 🙂  We made it to Clinton, OK last night and hope to make Flagstaff, AZ today.

Halloween is coming so for the next few days that is what our cards will reflect!  Stamps Used:  G297 Halloween Hauntings, DD65 Halloween Fun Cube, DD44 KB’s Ghosts, E189 KB’s Mummy.

It hump day!  We are half way to the weekend!

We had a good day travel yesterday.  The gas prices are nice!  The lowest they have been in four years.  If it wasn’t for the 30 mph wind that we were headed straight into we might have noticed a savings 🙂  We made it to Des Moines, IA last night at 8 pm and woke at 6 am  and having a nice lazy morning before heading out.

This world die cut is from…what else but the brother scanncut!   Stamps Used:  F235 Triple Banner Flag, E271 Brighten World.

Enjoy your Tuesday!

Good Morning!  We are getting all packed up and ready to leave for the AZ & CA shows!  Just a few more things to take care of this am and we’ll be off.

Here’s another new stamp!  I’m planning to put all the new stamps in the online store while we travel.  Love the dots that just add to the card.  Stamps Used:  F235 Triple Banner Flag, D299 KB’s Trio Butterflies, BB60 KB’s Butterfly sm, AA31 KB’s Butterfly mini, AA15 Mini Dual Dots, AA10 Dual Dots, E271 Brighten World Triple Flag.

a day late and a  dollar short…I think that’s the way we roll!  We had hoped to leave on Sunday for the AZ & CA shows so that we could have a day or two with our friends in AZ.  Not happening!  We now just hope to get enough stamps made so we can leave on Tuesday am..VERY early 🙂 and they don’t make themselves so I’d better get rolling!
