Geared Up Garage

I love this masculine stamp set.  I have a hard time with guy cards but this one is easy because not only do we have the stamp set but DSP to go with it.  Thanks for stopping by

Butterfly Birthday

I love this Butterfly DSP from the Sale*a*Bration catalog.  Not only is both sides of the paper pretty but it also coordinates with the Butterfly Duet Punch!

Birthday Card Class

Today's card was part of last weeks birthday card class.  It was a lot of coloring which is my favorite thing to do and I love how it turned out.  thanks for stopping by!

You make my heart go boom-boom

Today I have another Valentine to share.  Thanks for stopping by!

Let it Ride

Love this sentiment from the Let it Ride stamp set.  We always had horses growing up, my dad taught us how to take care of them at a very young age.  We had one horse that would walk into the house if he saw an open door. 

Happy Birthday

Love this rooster stamp!  It brings so many fond childhood memories to mind of growing up on a farm.  My husband and I bought a 100 acre farm once when our kids were little thinking that it would be just perfect for them ...but we forgot to factor in that we now lived 40 minutes from their school,  doctors offices, dance class, baseball practice, sleepovers with friends, grocery stores...so we sold the farm and moved into town after about a year.  The kids still talk about how much fun the farm was.

Valentine cards

I have two classes coming up for Valentines soon, one for a local Library and one for a Retirement Facility.  I enjoy going out of my shop occasionally to do classes especially for places like nursing homes and retirement homes. 

Beautiful Butterflies

Sorry this photograph is so dark, we have had several gloomy days here in Southern Illinois.  This was the best one out of 6 tries to get a good photo.  The butterflies are cut from the DSP  so made for a quick and easy card.

Mr & Mrs

Today's card is the second one from the Brides and Babies class we did last week.

Hello Little One

I made this card for my  upcoming Brides and Babies class.  

Birthday Gummy Bears

I love this bright DSP from the Occasions catalog and the little gummy bears are adorable.  Sorry I have been so lax in blogging but I have had a lot going on....my Shelby is home from college for Christmas break so I am spending as much time with her as I can and I had Ava and Dalton a lot during Christmas and Little Miss Riley(age 2) came to visit and rearrange my  cabinets for me a few times.  Lots of cooking and baking required when they are all there not to mention the spills, arguments to be settled, kissing boo boos well, keeping up with who is next to play the new electronics, keeping the dog away from the Christmas tree and the presents, taking  Sadie and all her friends to the movies, bowling, and Walmart and you can't even imagine the noise level much less the laundry that accumulates when they are all there.  But, I love and cherish every minute of it!  Even so, I did a happy dance when school started back!
