Another Saturday!

Yep it's another Saturday, but this one is SUNNY!!!  It's just GORGEOUS out there!   Was about 70 and sunny with a little breeze.  In my words that is just PERFECT!!

I made sure to spend some of the day outside ENJOYING it!  Took a nice Muffy walk & then pulled weeds, oh wait I don't have weeds in my gardens - LOL  That is like the one thing that I do not enjoy about the gardening life!  Oh well I guess they need some place to grow.

So here is a quick card I did up this past week.  I saw the technique on someone's blog, but I'm sorry I cannot remember who's it was.  I just thought it was very cleaver, seeing as we are all going to the NEW clear blocks!

You use the clear mounting block to make the blob image in a light ink, then you stamp over that in either black or a darker shade of the color ink you used.  I used Certainly Celery for my blob & then black for the flower, which is a NEW SU stamp - "Flower Fest".


Hope you ENJOY it!!

A rainy Saturday!

Yep it is a rainy Saturday - which means one thing - I GET TO STAY INSIDE & STAMP!!!!  LOL

Good thing the weather wasn't like this while we were up at the lake.  It woulda been the pits!!!

Also a good thing we didn't have much on our plate for today either.  Now tomorrow that's another story!  We will see.  There is a big Kayak Fest going on - on the BIG lake (Superior).  It actually started today, poor people out there trying to compete in this weather.  We didn't plan on going there today though, tomorrow we will go and watch the little ones having FUN playing around & goofing off!

So that brings me to my share for today.  I worked on these little note holders when I was up at the lake.  I LOVE this Penny Black stamp, it's gotta be one of my FAV!!

Yep I'm back again - LOL

We ran away & ENJOY it!!  No computer - No internet - just txting, as service is kinda sketchy @ the lake - just PEACE & QUITE!!

Well that was after the MAN work was over!!  LOL  We went to the lake to start on a bit more of the work that needed to be done there.

 

This is what it started off looking like in the very beginning -  years ago

Then we made a little dent a while back - so that we had a place to put the CAMPER - OFF the road! Yes when we first started camping at the lake, we parked on the road - OMW!!  Thank goodness for being waaaaay outta the way & that no one really cared about us parking it on the road.  -   "MINNESOTA NICE!!!"

It was just fine though, as it was a get away & PEACE & QUITE - Shhhhhh!  You know it's heaven when your kids always look forward to going to the lake & they are really only going camping.  LOL

So as you can see there is no more cramming things in on a tiny piece of the property - there's ROOM for lots & lots of FUN times like - - - -

The girls & the tents!

goofing off on the RZR & bringing back the found firewood - LOL

Even the little ones ENJOY being "UP NORTH" - treats help ya know

The two Military guys home!  Dan (one in the red) was home on leave from the Navy.  He will be deploying again in the end of November for 12 months.  So his only request was to go to the lake & RELAX!  That is exactly what we made sure he got!  Tyler (the other one) is in the MN Army Reserves and has been told for the fifth time he will be deploying in October.  We will see and as far as this Mom is concerned, if he doesn't deploy again - that's just fine with  me!  I so worry about these two, though I am very PROUD of them both!

 

I just received this Tim Holtz stamp right before we left & I knew it had to come along with me!  This is one of my FAV stamps right now!!  Works GREAT for all card themes!

 

I have a couple of baby showers to attend in a few weeks and so I also worked on cards for those too.

This is a card that I CASED from http://sharonstampsalot2.blogspot.com  Sharon is one very talented Stamper!!


I'm back home for a bit & hope to be able to share LOTS!!
Have a wonderful Evening!
