Dashing Deer Thanks ~ Monday Montage

Welcome back to Monday Montage!!!  We are back once again another fabulous hop for you to enjoy!  Make sure you click on the links below so you don't miss any of the creations...we promise you will love them all!

It's hunting season in our neck of the woods.  My hubby and older boy ventured out last weekend for the boys' special permit hunt.  They were fortunate enough to be able to hunt on some private property of one of my husband's co-workers, Greg, which resulted in a successful hunt for both of them! It was a pretty proud moment for all 3 of them, especially since this was their first successful season.  None of it would have been possible without the permission to hunt where they did or the help from Greg.  My boys asked me to make him a thank you card to send along with a little gift of thanks, which I was more than happy to do.  

The Dashing Deer bundle was a must have for me, mainly because of the cute little buck and doe stamps with the coordinating dies.  While this is a Christmas set, it's perfect for anyone who has some hunters in their life too!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Garden Green, Early Espresso, Sahara Sand, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Vellum, Wood Textures DSP

Stamp Set ~ Dashing Deer, Country Road

Ink ~ Garden Green, Sahara Sand, Early Espresso

Other Supplies ~ Detailed Deer Thinlits, 2" Circle Punch, Frosted Bouquet Framelits

Now that the twins are hunting, my hubby didn't do much of his own hunting this year.  We can only eat so much venison in a year!  I'm not sure what we are going to do when our youngest starts hunting too...deer jerky and summer sausage for everyone!

Next stop on the hop is my friend Cathy...I always love all of her awesome creations! Or if you want to hop backwards, you can hop on backwards to the amazingly talented Amy...her stamping style is amazing!  I can't wait to see all of my Monday Montage friends at OnStage in just a little over a week!

Thanks you for stopping by today!

Happy Stamping!

Hittin' the Country Road

Do you have a person?  That person that gets you, that knows what you better than anyone else, that would bail you out of jail with no questions asked?  Erica is my person and she's moving all the way to Texas.  That's over 2100 miles away from me...which is a heck of a lot longer than the 40 miles away from me she is now.  I am so happy for her family and their new chapter in life, but I am also so sad that she will be so FAR away.  But no distance will EVER come between our friendship and she will ALWAYS be my person.  And now I have an excuse to go visit Texas!

The sentiment in the Country Road stamp set seemed so fitting as I stamped away my sadness yesterday.  "Nothing's better than the wind at your back, the sun on your face, and your family by your side."  This is perfect as the begin their journey!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Sahara Sand, Mossy Meadow, Very Vanilla, Wood Textures DSP

Ink ~ Sahara Sand, Mossy Meadow, Early Espresso

Stamp Set ~ Country Road

Other Supplies ~ Stitched Shapes Framelits, 1-3/4" Circle Punch, Pinewood Planks Embossing Folder, Chicken Wire Elements, Braided Linen Thread, Galvanized Clips, Galvanized Buttons, Faceted Dots

Thankfully I'll get to spend a little time with Erica and her family this weekend as well as next weekend.  I need to squeeze in as much time with all of them that I can and fill my heart to the very tip top!

Thank you for stopping by today!  I hope you have a great Wednesday!

Happy Stamping!
