Mondays are always crazy in my house. I bake cookies, I dust, vaccum and mop. Plus clean all the sheets and towels. I also went to the grocery store, started a roast and thinned out the radishes we just planted two weeks ago. I am beat.

Then I get online and see Stampin’ Up!’s new Deal of the week for this week.

I am very excited about this one.

The first deal of the week I missed. The second week was the awesome bag that I already have, the third week were square Rhinestone brads. I hardly use those. But Hardware? Hardware I always use!!!!

Plus after making last weeks cards, I hardly have any of the pretty brads left. I will have to buy me one or two of these kits at the great sale price!!!

Thank you SU!!! This was on my August order anyway. I guess I just have to play my next order sooner then I thought. 🙂

We dropped Rick off at the airport yesterday morning. That was very sad. I spend the rest of the day playing with the kids to keep them from thinking about him being gone for another four month.

Today they all walked off to school. I can’t believe my oldest started his last year of Middle School and my baby entered 4th grade. That’s just plain crazy!

I made this card for the Joy Fold Tutorial on SCS a while back.

Hopefully I will be posting a new sample tomorrow for my Be Inspired Challenge.

I picked the BIC image several month ago and wouldn’t you know it….it has some of the new In Colors in there.

For this card I used my the new stamp set Dreams Du Jour along with the Bella Rose Designer Paper for the first time. The card base is a 4 1/4″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Riding Hood Red cardstock scored at 5 1/2″. The smaller flap is made from a  3 ” x 8″ piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock.

You can see step by step instructions for the card in the tutorial.

I used the new In Colors and the Aqua Painter to color the images. The designer paper for the centerflap was sponged, the edges were paper pierced and the little butterfly from Dreams du Jour was stamped on it.

Okay…another last minute stamping! I seem to thrive on that. I just finished my sample. I have to run to get Rebecca to school, then meet my neighbor for a walk. I will take a better picture and write about all the details when I get back.

I loved the color combo on this dress!

burstingwithjoypumpkinburst.jpg

Okay…so after my walk I went to cool down (translated that means stop sweating and panting like a DOG!) in the backyard with my book and stayed there until noon.

After that it was time for a shower and then time to make cookies. Since the kids were off yesterday, they got their Monday cookies today.

I still haven’t taken a better picture (my neighbor came over to hang out and we just chatted) but I can tell you more about the card.

The card base is a piece of 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Basic Gray cardstock folded in half.

Under my 3″ x 5 1/2″ strip of Jersey Shore Designer Paper I added first an 1/8″ wide layer of River Rock, then another Whisper White layer of that width on the top of that paper. Underneath I added River Rock and White layers again, only did I scallop the white layer with my Long scallop Rectangle Nestabilities.

I stamped the sentiment from Bursting with Joyin River Rock on a 1 7/8″ x 2 1/2″ piece of Whisper White cardstock and again in Basic Gray on a scrap piece of Whisper White. I punched the gray sentiment out with my small oval punch and layered it over the River Rock stamped layer.  Then I layered that first on a Bashful Blue rectangle, then on a scallop rectangle that was cut with a rectangle Nestabilities die template. I paper pierced the edges of the white layer as well as the white oval.

I wrapped Striped Bashful Blue Ribbon around the card base and layers before attaching the sentiment with dimensionals. Over the knot of the ribbon I added two 1/2″ Bashful Blue circles, followed by 1/4″ Basic Gray circles and silver brads.

For my accent I stamped the medaillon from Boho Background four times all with Basic Gray ink. Once on Whisper White, once on Pumpkin Pie, once on River Rock and one more time on Basic Gray. I punched the Basic Gray medaillon out with the scallop circle punch, the River Rock with 1 3/8″ circle punch, the Pumpkin pie with the 1″ circle punch and cut the flower out of the medaillon stamped on white cardstock. I adhered them all on top of each other and added an Ice circle Rhinestone brad in the center.

Today this card of mine was on the Stamper’s Showcase on the demonstrator part of the Stampin’ Up! website.

I hadn’t sent anything in to SU in a long time. I think this is the only thing this year so far. It was a swap card of mine.

It was nice to see a card of mine up there. Thanks to everyone who saw it and commented on it.

Hugs and smiles
