Des Moines




My Yahoo group met from Sunday to Tuesday in Des Moines IA.  On Monday and Tuesday we went to Outstamping Designs and were lucky enough to be able to take an Anna Griffin class.  They were all done with embossing folders and die cuts.  It was an amazing class and we made these four beautiful cards.  Marj Huber and all of the ladies were such nice hostess' and we decided we would return again next year!  Get ready ladies!  Here we come!!

Until next time, happy trails to you!

Posies - Happy Birthday

This is another card made from a Memory Box die.  I cut the die on white paper and then pieced in the colors with other paper that I had in my stash.  I made this awhile ago so don't remember who the sentiment is from but my guess is PTI.  I liked the bright colors of this one.

If you are looking for a great book, get Lisa Scottoline's newest book called Keep Quiet.  It is excellent!  I just finished it last night.  I could not put it down and that was after my daughter and I spent 4.5 days in Chicago and I was exhausted!  

Until next time, happy trails to you...

A Beautiful Birthday

I made this one for my sister in law who is having a birthday soon.  This is a new Papertrey set that I can see becoming a favorite set of mine.  The font is amazing!  This butterfly die is so pretty and I used some glitter paper with white glitter paper behind it. 

We have been having beautiful weather.  Cool and low humidity.  Perfect!  I would not be unhappy to have this all year round!  But I know we will get out heat and humidity sooner than later.  Lucy and I are enjoying walking in the cooler weather though. 

Until next time, happy trails to you.....

Oh My Stars!

This is a fairly new set from Papertrey Ink.  I think there are tons of possibilities and in fact I want to try something else yet tonight.  Love the verse that came with this set.  I sent this one to a friend for her birthday.  I hope she likes it.  She does not see my blog so I won't ruin the surprise. 

I just finished the last of The Walk series by Richard Paul Evans.  Each and every one of them was excellent.  This one was called Walking On Water.  But you need to start with the first one.  You won't be sorry! 

We have had some storms here lately.  My neighborhood has escaped most of the damage but there has been lots of damage around.  Huge hail and big winds. 

Until next time, happy trails to you...

ENJOY Your Birthday

I just got this new stamp set and die from Papertrey Ink.  It comes with lots of different sentiments you can use but I needed birthday cards for June.  I love the bright primary colors of this one.  I had fun making it and playing with the die. Thank you so much for stopping by and visiting me today. 

Until next time, happy trails to you...
