4th of July Scrapbook Page

Shellie, my downline, made this cute 4th of July page for one of her classes. Check out the fun pinwheel on the top left and lots of stars! Thank you for sharing, Shellie!! Today promises to be a coolder day than yesterday! 109 degrees at the airport and at one time here on my way home it was 112 degrees. I guess we were the 2nd hottest spot in the nation--too hot!!!! Have lots of fires going on but none as big as the one in Colorado-that is so sad! Our prayers go out to all the firemen and families in that fire! Have a great day and keep cool!

Hauling Bales


We have been hauling bales for the last couple days! I  am told I have the easy job as I drive the pickup and trailer up and down the rows. I realize I do as lifting those bales is not fun! We are just excited that we got a few bales as so many people arent getting anything this year because of the dryness. We pulled out of a field as there wasnt anything but not bad on the creek bottom. We worked late last night and then up at 4 to get another load before Lana took off for work! Somehow I seem to get all of the chores also which is OK as it helps them out some.
I just got an official letter that I won the 4 day 3 night trip to Hilton Head in September! Thank you for my downline and all of my customers for making this possible! I couldnt have done it without you!
Have a great day and keep cool!

Kindness Matters

This card was made with the stamp set Kindness Matters! I used a piece of card stock or you could use a sticky to punch out a square, lay it on the white cs and then punch over it. I started with the middle square. You can also eye ball it! I used markers to color the butterflies Old Olive and Soft Suede. Fun and quick card to make! Tonight starts the first night of the Summer Series Barrel Racing providing it doesnt rain. Just ready to finish another MDS book and then off to mowing! Have a great weekend!!!

Another Pinwheel Card

Another fun pinwheel card that we made in our day Stamp Club. When you make a pinwheel you can use any size of a square and cut to the middle diagonally on all 4 corners. Leave about the size of a nickel in the middle and then fold up every other piece but do not crease down. I added adhesive or a glue dot as I put each piece down. Then add your 3/4 circle and a brad. They are so fun to make once you get the hang of it.

New In Colors

I am having trouble editing my pictures so will just put this one up and keep working on it. I cased this from our Stampin' Success and thought it was an excellent card as it showcased all of the new 2012-13 In Colors-Gumball Green, Midnight Muse, Primrose Petals, Raspberry Ripple and Summer Starfruit. This card also uses the new 3/8 inch ribbon in Gumball Green. I also used the Postage Stamp Punch, 1 inch punch and the smaller little punch for the DSP on each 1 inch circle.
Yesterday I put together all of the ribbon shares so they are ready to be picked up or can be picked up at club. Hope you have a great day as a busy one for me!

Horse Frontier

This is a new stamp set for all of the horse people called Horse Frontier. I will be making several cards from this stamp set. Busy day ahead starting with horses. Hope you all have a great day!
