Cowboys Stadium

We visited Bryan and Ashlan a couple of weeks ago (and Kelty too)! We had a great time exploring the shops and restaurants in downtown Grapevine. Shopped at Frye's for an espresso machine.
We also toured Cowboys Stadium.
Here's some pics.....

Cowboys Stadium - Awesome Even Without the Big Screens!!

Bryan and Ashlan (in Cowboys t-shirts) - Carla and Keith (didn't pack Cowboys t-shirts)

Bryan Scoring a Touchdown!!

Bryan and Ashlan on Cowboys Star

At least now when the Cowboys are behind in a game (which seems to happen a lot), fans can gawk at this spectacular football venue!!

Send Me Soaring

The Occasions Mini Catalog goes out at the end of April. In this catalog you'll find this set "Send Me Soaring". It's a set of kites, clouds and sentiments.

Send Me Soaring

For this card, I just used the cloud stamp from this set. I used the Petite Pennants Builder punch,  DS paper and card stock embossed with the Big Shot textured impressions embossing folder for the pennants. Colors: wisteria wonder, pool party and luck limeade. Other: Boho Blossoms and Hear to Heart punches, "Hello" sentiment is from the Pennant Parade set and bakers twine to string the pennants.

Send Me Soaring $18.95 (clear)

Crazy for Cupcakes

For a sweet little girl's birthday! I love the Peach Parfait and Pool Party colors together
with the "Everyday Enchantment" DS paper.

Crazy for Cupcakes

The "Everyday Enchantment" DS paper is only available and is free during Sale-A-Bration.

Oopsie!

Christie and I took a day off this week to go to quilt shops in Borger and Pampa. Along the way, we learned of a new quilt shop in Canadian!! Definitely worth the drive.

Outside:

Donna's In the Attic

Inside:

Notice the quilt on the left - more below.

The window made it hard to take this picture but I love these colors.

And now for the oopsie:

My Oopsie

I bought enough fabric in Donna's for a new quilt for my king bed.  Haven't seen this fabric in Amarillo so I knew I had to get it when I saw it. The fabric is "hometown" by Moda and I had seen it on the internet but now I have it!! The gray and white pieces on the right I bought in Pampa - just kinda collecting gray fabric. And the rooster bird house - I found him in Alco.

Season of Friendship - Ready for Spring!!

Season of Friendship

Love the colors in this card: perfect plum, regal rose and certainly celery. The stamp set is "Season of Friendship" and comes in wood only. That means it's been in the catalog for a while - hope they don't retire it anytime soon.

The new 2012-2013 SU! Catalog comes out a month early this year! It will be out in June. That means the current catalog will expire at the end of May instead of June. Why? SU! is making changes in their catalog strategy. We'll still have an annual catalog but instead of 3 mini catalogs per year we'll have 2 bigger and better mini catalogs! I'm expecting the retirement list to come out in late April or early May. I'll keep you posted!!
