Jar Full of Thanks

Happy Tuesday stampers!  If you had yesterday off, I hope you enjoyed every minute of it!

I was blessed to have the day off at home with my boys and we took on the job of painting our chicken coop. It was fun to have all of us out there painting :-) And now that I think about it, the color we painted it is pretty darn close to Dapper Denim.  I must have the latest Hand Stamped Sentiments color challenge on my mind when I picked out the paint color!

Can you believe this is the first time I've used Sweet Sugarplum?!?!  Usually I break my inks in as soon as I get them.  Thankfully things are slowing down a bit and stamping is happening a bit more than it did throughout the summer.  

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Dapper Denim, Very Vanilla

Ink ~ Dapper Denim, Sweet Sugarplum, Flirty Flamingo, Old Olive, Smoky Slate

Stamp Set ~ Jar of Love

Other Supplies ~ Everyday Jars Framelits, Flirty Flamingo Ribbon

Have a fun Tuesday!!

Happy Stamping!

Country Livin' at the County Fair ~ Monday Montage



Welcome back to Monday Montage!!!  We are back with another fabulous hop!  Make sure you click on the links below so you don't miss any of the creations...you are sure to love them all!

Our county fair was going on this past week and our family took in part of the action this weekend, which inspired today's card.  We attended the parade Saturday morning and braved the craziness of the fair Saturday evening.  We had plans to attend the rodeo, but the boys all had so much fun visiting all of the animals and hanging out with friends, so we just enjoyed the time together.  Since moving to our new house and adding a few new critters to our lives, all three boys were very interested in learning all they could about many of the farm animals.  It was pretty awesome to hear them ask so many great questions!

 Supplies Used:

Paper ~Tip Top Taupe, Whisper White

Ink ~ Basic Black, Early Espresso, Soft Suede, Tip Top Taupe, Delightful Dijon, Mint Macaron

Stamp Set ~ Country Livin' , Hardwood

Other Supplies ~ Burlap Ribbon

Our funny farm started out with a goat on lease, which we have all quickly fallen in love with.  It will be a sad day when Trigger has to move to his new home with his family, but there have already been numerous conversations of getting some baby goats in the spring and possibly a cow.  Never in my life did I picture us living the farm life, but I love it!  Especially all of our chickens.  We currently have 6 baby chicks and 6 egg laying hens.  I love seeing the boys take care of them, especially when they do it all on their own without being asked!

Next stop on the hop is Cathy...I can't wait to see what she has for us this week! Or if you want to hop backwards, you can hop on back to the amazing Amy...I just love her style!

Foxy Friday

Hi stampin' friends!

 

Time has gotten away from me again this week!  I've been getting in a little stamping time, but trying to stay on top of blogging hasn't been happening as much.  I'll take what little time I get and share when I can :-)

One of my co-workers had to go through a terrible ordeal with her daughter last weekend that has continued on to this week.  Her daughter was involved in an accident that resulted in a pretty severe burn on her little back:-(  Thankfully this happened while they were out of town near a Children's Hospital and they were able to get her taken care of in a hurry.  They still have a long road before she is healed, but she is doing well.  Our office wanted to send her a little get well gift and I offered to make a card to send along with it.

I was once again inspired by the Freshly Made Sketches sketch to help me make this cute card for sweet Emma.  I hope it cheers her up and makes her day happy!

 

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Whisper White, Smoky Slate, A Little Foxy DSP

Ink ~ Tangerine Tango, Calypso Coral, Early Espresso

Stamp Sets ~ Foxy Friends, Greatest Greetings

Other Supplies ~ Layering Circles Framelits, Fox Builder, Subtles Enamel Shapes

 

I am hoping to sneak in a little bit more stamp time this weekend, especially since I have an extra day off.  Our little funny farm is growing again today with the addition of 4 more chickens, so I'll have a little bit of time wrapped up getting them settled.  Who would have ever thought I'd turn in to a crazy chicken lady?!?!

 

Happy Friday and Happy Stamping!
