4:30 am........blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..............

Good morning, very early this morning.....been awake since 3:00am.....finally got up at 4:34........
Gonna be a longgggggggggggggggg day..Oh well..

This is a card I made at a workshop, my good friend and down line, Barbara Parker had.  She did a great job at the workshop and made some really great cards.

This one uses is the Snow Much Fun stamp set.  Wow the glitter shows up really good here.

Well Mom is up and so is Eugene.  Coffee is on.  Going to work on my swap card today and hopefully take a nap:0)

HS,
Wanda

Nothing exciting....

Good morning....I'll hurry and get this posted....

This is a baby card invitation I made for my daughter in law's baby shower I am having.  The colors are the colors she is using in her nursery, Pool Party, Real Red and Soft Suede.  I stamped the monkey from Fox and Friends stamp set on Vanilla and punched it out with the 1 3/4 in. punch, then made the fancy circle with the Petite Pennant Die on the Big Shot.  I have a 2 1/2 in Suede circle under that. 
Rachel ( my daughter) helped me alot with the stamping and punching. I wanted to sponge the monkey circle or something but she so no, this is good enough.  I did however add a strip of DSP on top of the Red. It s Spice Cake and I used scraps, she thought that it was ok:0)

Well I actually took several pics yesterday so I should have at least a weeks worth of post. (think that will happen?)

Better go now, my grandson Ethan has poison ivy or something on his face and it is swollen so he is going to the docs while I babysit today.

HS till next time,
Wanda

Tues and workin' hard......sort of.

Get ready for classes tonight and waiting for my UPS man to bring me a package so I can finish some of the projects for classes....I wish he'd hurry up...well here's a card to look at while we wait.......

Barbara Parker made this card, she didn't get the sentiment on there yet, but I really liked it, I think Mom will too.  She used the Sail Away single stamp (from the Occasional Mini and no longer available).  The card base is Crumb Cake, the Night of Navy then Crumb Cake again, with Cherry Cobbler embossed with the Lattice EF. A strip of Night of Navy ran through the paper crimper and a piece of Cherry Cobbler bakers twine tied in the middle. I think you can figure out the rest or shoot me an email with any more questions.

Thanks Barbara for the lovely card.

Yeahhhhhhhh UPS is here EARLY...gotta go get my stuff.....

HS,

Wanda



monday, monday, la la, la la la......

I'm singing that song in my head, well at least the first phase, I don't remember the rest...

Well as you can see I did survive the weekend. And we switched to plan B and didn't got to the store first thing in the morning like we usually do.  I did get back to bed for about an hour an a half, which was nice.
I didn't get to go back to bed till midnight, but today is a new day filled with lots of stamping.....

I will do church cards this morning, make up some of the rest of last months cards for a couple of people that couldn't make it, then on to this weeks classes.

Here is the card I made Friday night for my new grandson.

I used Pool Party for the base then Soft Suede and Whisper White.  On top of that I have a piece of  Spice Cake dsp and it's framed with Soft Suede.  A piece of More Mustard cut out with the big shot and the perfect pennant die, sponged with soft suede.  A big pool party button with a lion cut out from the Fox and Friends stamp set.

Well must be off now.
Hope you have a lovely almost fall day.
HS,
Wanda

It's 4:50 am...

AND I'VE BEEN UP SINCE 3:00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ARGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
I can't believe it and now I am tired and ready to go back to bed, but I'm suppose to get up 6.....blah...

Well on the good side, last night I made two cards. Sometimes I do make a card that is one of a kind that I don't do for church or a class.  (bet ya didn't know that)

Anyway for my little glitter grand daughter that wanted a hamster birthday......

I didn't have a hamster stamp so I drew a simple hamster colored the spots with blender pen and elegant eggplant ink then glittered them with dazzling diamonds.  I made a little "hair" do dad and added diamonds. I used elegant eggplant card stock and designer paper.  This actually came together faster than the baby card I made. (I'll save that card for later :)

Anyway I'm sleepy but to bad for me I guess.

Happy Stampin' until next time.......Zzz
Wanda

Greetings...

Couldn't think of anything catchy to say so....hi. Tomorrow is Friday and I am going to a Walk a thon for my grand kids school.  I am going to be a counter, that is I get to count the laps the kids walk.  Of course I have already sponsored them.....

Busy week as usual, but I got lots of stamping done even though I only had two days to do it in.
Tuesday Darling Barbara (Parker of course) came over, BROUGHT LUNCH and  IDEAS and we worked on figuring out stuff and making samples.

Then yesterday, Wednesday Sweet Sheri (Arnold) came over and......are you ready for this......SHE CLEANED MY STAMP ROOM!!!!!! (or course it was a terrible mess), then helped me get two projects ALL the way ready for classes next week.

I couldn't make it without WONDERFUL FRIENDS and A WONDERFUL MOM who helps me do about everything she can when she is here.  I as so very BLESSED!

Sorry this is side ways...it's a card we did in July (I think).  I bought the idea from Chat W something at memysampsandi.blogspot.com . She has some great cards and projects.

I took a picture of a card Barbara P did, I will post soon, plus I've got some more stuff coming up.

Classes are next week.

Have a lovely weekend, if I don't get back here before it comes.  I have a baby shower at 10 am on Sat and a Birthday party at 2 pm. Busy weekend.

HS,
Wanda

What a day and I'm tired already...

I normally get up at 6:05 am most every week day to take my grandson, Ethan to catch a ride to school, but this morning his dad texts me at 5:42 AM ! and told me he was taking him cause my daughter was sick and he was coming home early.
I didn't get to go back to sleep and I AM TIRED! Now I have to get dressed and go pick up my two little busy grandsons....and I need to chop onions,make name tags and label for a ladies meeting tonight, rip out some stuff I did on a skirt I need to finish by tomorrow morning, go to that ladies meeting tonight......
Well enough crying for now....

This is another card I made tiring to use the Spice Cake material, I also have a jumbo brad on it.  The colors I used are More Mustard, Pool Party and Soft Suede.  I also put a piece of Chantilly Crochet trim on it (all SU of course).
Better get on with my day, trust yours is lovely.
HS,
Wanda

happy labor day......late

I finally downloaded some pics, so I will try to post some (if I don't get too interrupted).
I'm interrupted...........
Next day....I was interrupted better get a card on here asap.

Here's a card I made for my monthly swap. I used some of the new designer paper call Spice Cake from the Holiday Mini.  The big buttons also came from there.  I love that paper.  I wanted to use the buttons, but they are kind of big, some people liked this card and some didn't. At first I didn't know if I did or not, but when I woke up and looked at it the next morning, I decided I did.
I used Pool Party, Soft Suede, and More Mustard ink, and Pool Party and Soft Suede card stock.
Mom said it looks better in real life, most cards do, but what do you think?  Should I or shouldn't I use it for class this month?  Are the buttons too big for the card?
Well I baby sit this afternoon for two busy little boys while their mom takes their sister to the doc's for a check up.  Eugene asked me how long did I think I would take.  I know not less than 4 hours.....
So I better go now.
HS,
Wanda

hubby came home...

so I had to cook supper, and not time to post last night. 
Mom and I broke beans and canned another 14 qts last night plus I shredded 37 cups of zucchini.  I made meat loaf and zucchini casserole. 
WHEN AM I GOING TO HAVE TIME TO STAMP!!!!
We picked least 20 to 30 qts of beans today but I don't know when I am going to get to them. Got lots of other stuff to do.  I am going to check and see if I have a pic of a card I haven't posted yet, if I do I'll post it, if not I'll try to get to it later on today.

this is another quilt card done in a different color.  I am getting the lattice die for the big shot next Thursday.
Barbara Parker (HI Barb!) had a beautiful card made with it that she showed us last Monday night.
I am going to make it for our class this month.
Well better get a shower now, it was hot out there picking those beans.
I'll post again soon. 
Have a fun and safe Labor Day weekend.
HS,
Wanda

Once again I am sorry....

it's been so long since I last posted.  I am no longer sick just so busy and it's so hard to start posting again after I don't for a while.
I do have some cards to post but I am on my way to pick more green beans.  I just canned 13 quarts last night.  I did 7 last week plus 61 jars of corn cob jelly (I didn't keep them all, Vashti helped, so she got some).
I will try and post tonight.
HS,
Wanda
