Good Evening!  We made it home from Akron at 4 am this morning!  Long night but woke up around 9 am refreshed and ready to go again.  I must admit to sleeping on the way home.  Kevin is a night owl so driving at night is far better for him than in the daytime.  Plus the traffic in Chicago is much better 🙂

We had a fabulous time in Akron!  So fun to see everyone there again.

Love this card…Karissa has been using up that calendar.  I love that this card has the first day of spring on it.  We had some super nice sunny weather today.  Little chilly but nice.  My clothes failed to dry on the line so they finally had to go in the dryer.  I got all the orders out and all the brother machines ordered that were sold this weekend so feeling caught up.

Stamps Used:  GG35 KB’s Primrose Lg, J35 Live Love Laugh, The butterfly stamp I will have to look up and get on the website 😦 didn’t realize it wasn’t on.  Have a great evening.

Good Afternoon…we have had some full and wonderful days with our family!  Did a little shopping today…got another pair of shoes today!  They are so cute.  That is one thing when I buy a pair of shoes…I never take a pair of shoes out.  With other things, like shirts, one goes in and one goes out…not shoes:)  Love shoes!  Bought red shoes today. 🙂

Notice that today’s card has a bead on it?  On the ribbon!

Stamps Used:  J35 Live Every Moment, D299 Trio Butterflies

Well back to work…not quite ready yet for Akron.  If anyone is interested in helping us at Akron on Saturday, please email me at beth@shopec.com.  Thanks!

happy day to you

Ok so it really helps to have a really cool calendar to cut up!  Love the craft paper calendar.  This card makes me think of spring!  I believe today is the first day of spring.  Not that New England area feels like spring but WI is feeling a little springy!

Good Evening!  I hope you are all warm and cozy somewhere because it seems like most of us are in very cold weather.  We have arrived in Lebanon, IN so we are very close to Indianapolis.  It was 32 degrees in the trailer when we stopped but we got the heater turned on and went in for some supper. When we came back it was already up to 50 degrees so I think we will survive 🙂

I accidentally left my cards for the blog at home but luckily I had already taken the pictures…I just don’t have the numbers of the stamps 😦

happy day

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.

Good Evening!  Whew!  it’s hard to go on vacation because it seems like I have come back tired!  We will have some quick posts this week since we head out at 6 am for Denver, CO in the morning.  We are all packed are as ready as can be 🙂

a quick note about this card:  It’s good to remember that we don’t have to make the whole stamp fit in an area.  By 3-d dotting the flower it helps the stamp fit!

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!

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 🙂
