A switch from the big fox to the little fox today!
We made it to Batesville, IN last night around 10 pm. We are up and ready for set up today in Cincinnati, OH and for my class at 2:30 pm. We have about an hour drive this morning into Cincinnati.
Here are some pictures of my niece who loves horses! She was at a horse show of some kind this weekend and took home several ribbons. Way to Go Hallie!
Hope your day is a good one. My sister came over to help me make stamps on her day off. Thank Goodness! We have a lot to do and we leave tomorrow at noon.
For all you ladies with the Brother ScannCut…I have figured out how to virtually cut out ALL (that’s right 100%) of your stamps with this awesome machine. I used to say you had to have a continues line and not a solid stamp but I have figured a way to fool the machine. Someone mentioned to me about the Scan mat that is available from Brother for scanning fabric and how it worked so I wondered if we could apply the same concept to our stamps. This is what I do: (when I have time I will try to do pictures! just a little busy right now :)) I stamp the image on paper. Lay it on the standard mat. Take a piece of acetate that is a little bigger and place over the stamped paper. Draw a line where I want the machine to cut on the acetate with a sharpie. Scan the image. When it is done scanning, I take off the acetate and then have it just cut the paper! Works Awesome!
Have a great day!
For those of you who live in the Colorado area…We have added a show in Colorado to our list! We will be attending the Scrapbook Expo show in Denver in September!
Here is another Triple Flag Banner card from The Paper Cut, Inc. I’m hoping to get this paper added to our website by this weekend (Hoping to con my new brother-in-law into learning how to do it and then do it :)!)
Look for some new stamps tomorrow that we designed to go into the three flags. Came out so good!
Loving this fish card. I did make the mistake of stamping my words to close to the right side so they show on the front. Live and Learn! This fish card is another card that has been added to our MNT (make n takes) in the booth. Have a great hump day!
Hope you all are happy this Tuesday! This is a 3.5″x5.0″ Triple Circle card that I cut out with my triple circle die. We are hoping to put together a bee card for make n takes this weekend in Bloomington, MN. I’m also looking forward to a day of stamping in my stamp studio tomorrow! Got some ideas floating around in my head that I’ve been wanting to get done.
The weather is suppose to be really nice the next couple of days so maybe I can get some outside projects done too!
Have a nice evening!
Good Morning! So here’s another new stamp that is coming out!
So for those of you who know your grammar…:) thanks for letting me know about the grammar problem with the stamp from our post on Friday! The day was Friday the 13th, a full moon, and MY 50th Birthday! Hard to believe I’m that old but it’s true…my sister couldn’t let the day go by without a party!
so I survived the party and re-made the stamp!
lot’s going on this week with my sister getting married! We have a fabulous day for Green Bay today -80 degrees and sunny. We had a really productive weekend around the house and I will be showing you some of the things we have done later this week.
Also a GOOD offer from Brother. They are offering a pre-paid visa card for $20 with the purchase of the Brother Scan and Cut until June 21st. We are putting the machine on our website so you can purchase it directly from us if you would like! I LOVE the machine and from everyone who has purchased one…I have been hearing the same thing. We will offer them for $449.00 for the CM250. We are not charging shipping as of yet so a great deal! so have a GREAT Monday!
Here is another cute little 3.5″x5.0″ made with the sizzix triple flip it circle dies. This card was part of my 40 card birthday present.
We had an awesome time is Puyallup as usual. So fun to see all the regulars Darlene, Yara, Sharon, Linda and so many more! Had some awesome students in my classes and enjoyed our time here is WA! Getting ready to head to Portland, OR today. Washed some clothes, got my orders all together, and re-packed and got all organized again. Hope your week has started out good too!

I thought I would show some of the panels of the old window a little closer up :)…
another cute creature valentine! Love the mini fox, he’s new! Fits inside the 1″ circles.
I got several responses on the triple circle die on how to extent the card. There is even a video showing how to extend it. Good video to watch ladies!
this is what I did yesterday afternoon….remember I mentioned we were painting my friend Holly’s counter tops. Well, we did and they came out great! Today we are going over to put the waterproofing on them. We need Kevin’s help for that!
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!
Happy Friday! The weekend is here. We are in York, PA getting ready to leave to set-up at the York show. It is rainy like crazy here. We got 5 inches in just 12 hours. It should stop rainy today. For information regarding the show go to http://www.heirloompro.com for the latest info.
Have a great weekend!
Happy Friday everyone! Today I have some updates on the fox coasters and a coffee card. 
I added another creature to my coasters! I also added a thin fleece layer to the bottom of the coasters to protect surfaces from the wood. Thank you to all who had suggestions for a sealant! These are the 2 I found at Home Depot: a clear gloss and a triple thick glaze. This morning I decided to test them each.
And this was the result. The glaze made the ink bleed on the fox but I wonder if it is because I sprayed too much on. When I tested the clear glaze I was much more conservative and I think it worked better. Might need to put 2 layers on though.
I have also been saving my coffee from the morning and making iced coffee with it. Refilled Starbucks frappuccino chilled coffee drink containers with leftover coffee, fresh cream and whole milk. Much cheaper than going to Caribou every day! I also want to put chalkboard paint around the bottles to be able to write on the outside. Will try to post those photos later!
Have a great weekend!
