Christmas Rose

It might be Halloween, but the weather outside reminds me of Christmas. Starting tomorrow you will be able to order this gorgeous limited time offering . . . Christmas Rose.  Let me tell you the designer series paper in this suite is absolutely awesome.

For this card, which I saw on Pinterest, all I did was die cut the beautiful rose bouquet and add a sentiment.  Easy Peasy . . . but oh so pretty!!!

Stamps:  Christmas Rose

Cardstock: Mossy Meadow, Whisper White

Designer Series Paper: Christmastime is Here

Ink: Cherry Cobbler

Accessories:  Rose Dies, Stampin' Dimensionals

My goal today is to get all of the cardstock cut for Saturday's Peek Into Santa's Workshop class and hopefully get a start on the die cutting and dry embossing that needs to be done.  I was suppose to have a hair appointment early this morning but because of the weather it will now be in the afternoon, which is just fine with me as I wasn't relishing getting out early this morning!!!

Every day is a gift . . . make the most of the gift you have been given today!!

Happy Stamping!!

Toile Christmas

One of my stamping friends, Cindy, sent me a picture of this card and asked if we could make it at a stamp night.  Of course, I said "Sure!"  The one she sent me had a Christmas greeting on it, but for class I changed it up to a birthday greeting.

I will have the Christmas sentiment there as well if anyone would like to make it into a Christmas card.  I will tell you that those little gold foil curly cues are a pain to cut out but they are worth it once you get them on the card and see how cool they look.

Gather Shadow Box

One of the Facebook groups I belong to had a fall shadow box similar to this one and I thought that they would make good craft show items . . . . something a little different than what I usually sell.  So yesterday I decided to make one.  This one looks very similar to the one on Facebook, but as I was putting it together all sorts of other ideas were springing into  my head so I am anxious to make some of those as well!!

Once I had everything cut, the actual assembly of the shadow box went quite quickly.  I anticipate that others will go quickly as well since I have all of the dimensions figured out!!

Harvest Hellos

The minute I saw these on a blog I follow . . . The Paper Pixie . . . I knew I needed to make some for Hanna to give to the teachers in her building during American Education Week in November!!

Great day yesterday tailgating and the Hawkeye win!!!  However I felt like a drowned rat when I got home so a warm shower, a hot cup of coffee, and my recliner and a blanket were the order of the day for what was left of it. I tried to watch the baseball playoff game last night but fell asleep before it was halfway over!!

Today I will be working on getting everything cut and ready for the Countdown to Christmas class on Monday night.

Nature's Beauty

The Nature's Beauty stamp set that is on the back page of the holiday catalog has the most beautiful animals in it!!!  And what makes it even better is that three dollars of every sale goes toward mental health organizations.  Stampin' Up! tries to make a difference in the lives of people and this stamp set is one way they are doing that.

Everyone that made this card this week had a hard time deciding on what side of this designer series paper to use.  They are equally as beautiful.  The other side of this one has all types of green plants on it.  I think most people decided that while they liked the other side better, this side worked best with the design of the card.

Stamps: Nature's Beauty, Itty Bitty Birthdays

Cardstock: Early Espresso, Cajun Craze, Pretty Peacock, Very Vanilla, Copper Foil

Harvest Hellos

This Harvest Hellos stamp set has to be among my favorites in the Holiday Catalog now that I have had some time to play with all of the stamp sets. And even though it is not used here, the added benefit is a punch to go with it!!

Yesterday was a great day of tailgating although it started off cold and  it ended cold.  I also drove to Iowa City on the dark, and drove home 17 hours later in the dark.

To look at this picture you would think I know what I am doing when playing bags!!  However . . . I can't hit the broadside of a barn with the silly things!!  I had fun playing and provided a lot of laughs for everyone, so that is the important thing!!

Believe it or not, once we got up to our seats, I actually was pretty warm so shed my winter coat.  I was certainly glad I had it, though after it got dark. You can also see that we all had on the appropriate color clothing last night as well.

It really is very cool how the striped stadium looks on these nights. And there is just something extra in the air for a night football game!! 

As soon as I am done posting this I am getting ready to pick Julie up and we are going to go on a little shopping trip called the Rural Road Trip.  It features many little quaint shops in our own area.  Many of these I have always wanted to visit but just never made the time.  Today is the day!!

It has been a typical morning in the Wilson household . . . confused is the best way I can think of to describe it!!  Last night John lost a small cap to some Three-In-One oil and we had been looking all over for it.  Not important . . . but he thought he needed it.  This morning he needed some steel wool so I went to Kalona to get it.  On the way home I realized that I could not find my debit card!!  I knew the last placed I used it but it was nowhere to be seen. The gal that cleans my house was helping me look for my debit card and was going through some sacks in the trash in case I had put in a sack when I came home yesterday.  We did not find the debit card there . . . but low and behold . . . she did find the little red cap to John's oil.  And after looking a little more the debit card has been located as well.  Like I said . . . a typical day at the Wilson household!!
