Fantastic Friday! :D

Hey, y'all! What a GLORIOUS day it is here in middle Tennessee today! It's 69° right now, sunny, and Mom and Dad have been working outside to uncover the plants. It won't be too long until the tulips come out - and then you might want to come take a class just to enjoy our back yard - or book a photo session!

But that's another business. ;D

Good news to report: Ev is feeling MUCH better, and is home. He's restricted from driving for the next three months, but is doing well. Thank you for praying!

On a sad note, another good customer and friend's mother passed away unexpectedly after surgery yesterday. Please keep Cindy in your thoughts and prayers; if you'd like to send me a condolence card to pass on to her, please do so!

Today's sample is another from those workshops earlier this month.


I just love TOTE-ALLY TESS. :) She's so much fun to stamp with!

Because I got TESS as a clear mount stamp, we were able to place several of the smaller stamps - the snips, stamp, and marker - on one acrylic block to use as a background. It was REALLY fun - and a really cool, crafty look!

Card stocks: Whisper White, Ballet Blue, Regal Rose

Ink: Jet Black Stazon, assorted Stampin' Write markers

Stamp set: Tote-ally Tess

The only accessory we used was adhesive! We stamped the "I ♥ Stamps" stamp inside. :)

OK, I'm off! There's a lot more work to do this weekend - and I cannot WAIT to show you what you're missing if you're not coming to the Easter stamp camp tomorrow! :)

Have a WONDERFUL weekend! Be sure and take the time to STAMP something!

Tote-ally Taken With Tess!

Good afternoon! Where did my morning go? Can anyone tell me?!?!?! Sheesh!

She has JUST enough coloring for me! :) And I colored her hair to have high-and low-lights; her jeans are also colored kind of acid-washed on purpose. :D

OK! I'm off to work on the photos for tomorrow's share - got scraps? Stay tuned for tomorrow!! :D

Have a WONDERFUL day! And PLEASE, take the time to STAMP something!!! :)

Valentine Challenge Day 5!

Wow, the end of the first week! I think you'll be amazed at how much time I actually took to do today's! :D

Actually, Tess herself is a clear-mount stamp. They are REALLY impressive!! SO easy to use, easy to clean, easy to care for. This was a fun card to do - and here's the INSIDE of the card....

OK! I'm off to teach our class! :) Have a WONDERFUL weekend - I hope I get to see you soon! LMK if I can be of ANY help to you! Be SURE to take the time to STAMP something - you'll be SO glad you did! :)
