Good Morning! We still have very cold weather here. It is currently 3 degrees! Whew that is cold. I have to actually wear a coat down to the shop. Normally I just run down without a coat but not today!
Stamps Used: G165 KB’s Silphnium Lg, H118 Swiss Dot Oval Giga, G328 Especially for You Border
Good Monday Morning to You! It’s very cold here today in WI…somewhere are 15 degrees which with the wind is pretty cold 🙂 Thinking of the New England area and their snowstorm coming…so be safe out there.
Today’s card comes from my friend Michelle who designs cards for several companies and does an awesome job! I love the way she thinks. If you notice the leaves in the background of this flower…it is actually the leaf from the Lily of the Valley! Amazing…if you remember she’s the one who took the small father’s day tie and made it into a flower. She definitely thinks outside the box 🙂
Stamps Used: BB15 Solid & Open Daisy, EE46 Lily of the Valley Lg, D211 Happy in my Day.
We are packing and getting ready to leave for GA & FL on Wednesday so not much time left at home.
Good Monday Morning to You! We are traveling home from the Grapevine, TX show. We had a great time in Grapevine but always glad to be heading home. It seems like the weather will cooperate with our commute and we should have sunshine all the way home. That makes me smile 🙂
We have made the incredible birthday stamp into a incredible day stamp! We should have these new stamps on the website within the next few weeks. I also love the smile embossing folder. Always good to smile.
Have a fabulous Monday.
Well, I have two load of laundry in baskets to put away (well, technically three if you count the sheets that are washed and dried and stuffed in a basket !) and a sink full of dirty dishes! But the truck is loaded and packed and ready for Madison! whew! I thought I would blog tonight and set for publication in the morning since we plan to leave by 6 am! Yep, leave not get up 🙂
I just had to blog these cups that Karissa did because I think they are so cute. I love the creative way that she colored the cups and the stamps. Way Cute! Hope to see you all in Madison. You can tell Karissa is using her brother scan n cut by the way the butterflies and bird have been cut out. Don’t forget the special Black Friday Special from brother.
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.
Have a great Day!
Here are a few cards using hat pins on them. I love making the pins and using them on cards…adds a nice little touch.
We’ve had some busy days since returning from CO… not doing much but just getting things re-organized, needed to do laundry, buy groceries, clean house, and, of course, make stamps again! Just ordinary things that make each day a gift. I want to cherish each day and love the little things in it. Was really special to spend time with my parents and my brother while in Colorado. We made some new memories to cherish. Hope your ordinary days are special.
Stamps used: A123 You Make Me Smile, C191 KB’s Heart Flower in a Jar, A78 KB’s Butterfly/Sm

Good Morning! It’s been a crazy week! We are trying to get ready for the Colorado show and then to leave for a few days without thinking about work. We leave this afternoon for our annual church convention and we will not think about working at all. And it takes a little bit of work to arrange it all!
I have been wanting to try little index cards for some time now and they are so fun, so quick, and so easy!
Enjoy!
Today we have an oldie but goodie card! I found this while cleaning out the cupboards in the kitchen! Found a stack of cards…not sure what they were doing in the kitchen cupboards ??! I needed to clean the cupboards out since I’m losing a big pantry in the kitchen plus the cabinet above the fridge so there was a need to get rid of stuff! The new pantry/mudroom is coming along nicely…walls are all painted. We had to bring some electricity into the room since there wasn’t any and that is progressing nicely.
Now Kevin and I are going on a date! We are headed to the demolition derby…haven’t done something like that in…well, probably before we were married! 🙂 Have a great weekend!
Stamps Used: F162 Beth’s Coneflower, A203 Hi; HH24 Oval Stitches
I hope you had a one-of-a-kind day! Mine flew way too fast.
Todays card comes from Kathy in SC! Love it! I love the lily of the valley stamp in any way, shape, or form. I never thought to use the one of a kind stamp on the outside of a card but it’s great. I also love getting cards in the mail. There is something so special about it. Just the effort and the thought make it special. It is such a great way to send a “pick me up” to someone. I think that is one of the great side benefits to this rubber stamping hobby.
Well it’s off to bed so I can get up early. The floor is coming along nicely, the stamps are getting made but my house is a MESS! Need to do something about that…I can only take chaos so long 🙂
Good Morning! Here is a simple triple flag banner card. We are hoping to get these cards on the website on Wednesday so I have a few more samples this week. This stamp doesn’t cut well on the brother so I have to use the trick with acetate and then it cuts beautifully! Went back and made a mat for it too!
A little bittersweet day for me yesterday. We have a young girl coming to stay with us while she does an internship here in Green Bay so I needed to clean out my son’s room. I’ve been avoiding that room because it makes his leaving home so final (even though I know it’s final…it just seems like closing the book on a chapter of our lives!) So I texted him to see if he wanted anything from his room and his reply was “do what seems best, I have enough of everything!” so it all went. Well, I did keep his lifeguard shirt ( I don’t know why!), a few pair of jeans ( I want to make a quilt with some of the fabric), and all his ties went in his Dad’s closet! So the book is closed!. We even took it all to Goodwill so I can’t go back and take things out.
Well, I still have some orders to get out so I’d better get to work! Our rule when we are off the road for awhile is we work until noon in the shop and then play catch up on all the things around the house that need catching up from us being gone so much. So much to do in a little bit of time.
Well, we are back from Minneapolis where we had a GREAT time and the fun just continues…We leave Thursday for Collinsville, IL so just three days to make stamps. We are going to be busy little beavers…now if we could get some our nephews to mow grass…that would help 🙂 Here is a great card from Karissa
It’s good to be happy! We were so happy to spend the weekend with Karissa and the Minneapolis people! I had better get to work!
