BACK TO THE GRIND

After stamping all week like a crazy woman, I took the weekend off to relax and CLEAN UP the aftermath of making a ton of cards sets. Although, I have looked forward to getting back to "work".....I'm so glad this is such an enjoyable hobby! This weekend also allowed me time to think about designs for cards that I can make this week.....my thinking has been on how to simplify without being too boring.

Today's card set is very CAS (Clean and Simple). I used the new Oval All stamp set from the Occasions Mini Catalog (click here to view) coming out on April 1st. I also used the new Scallop Oval Punch that's in the Occasions Mini as well. I embossed the entire front of the card using Cuttlebug embossing folders....I just LOVE the look these folders give!!!
I made 5 sets of these cards.....my quota is now done for the day. Now I can turn my attention to my home. I have been trying to stamp in the morning, clean it all up, and then be ready to give my full attention to the kids when they get home from school, my husband, and to family time in the evening.

Our family has been on a Yahtzee kick lately.....for almost the last week, we have played Yahtzee each night. To make things a bit more interesting we've been trying changing up the rules a bit....like beginning with ones and just going down the scorecard. Scores go down considerably when playing this way :-) We've been having a GREAT time thinking of different ways to play.....let me know of any different versions you've played!!

Until next time,
Find some time for stamping!!!
Blessings, Cindy

Hi there! When i play Yahtzee with my mom we play 3 games at once. The first column is scored as usual, the second you have to go in order from one's all the way down to chance and the third column is what you roll in the first throw. So if you throw a full house on the first try you'd put that in your full house space on the third column. It's so fun!
thanks for sharing your awesome projects!
hugs, Elizabeth
