Happy Anniversary

 Good Morning & Happy Thursday!

It's been crazy busy around the Aungst Pad the last few days!

I feel like I turned my whole house upside down and did a deep cleaning. Kelsey is suppose to keep my downstairs cleaned but I don't think she knows what a good deep cleaning is!! So, out of frustration I went and tore the family room & my stamp room apart and cleaned every nook & cranny. Yesterday, I felt it! My back is giving me grief but it needed to be done. 

Today I have a anniversary card to share using the Country Bouquet stamp set & matching punch. I used it alot back around Valentines Day but since it has carried over into the new SU Annual Catalog I decided to pull it out and make some more cards for on the card rack.

Card Details:

Stamps: Country Bouquet, Love For You

Ink: Petal Pink, Soft Succulent (retired)

Cardstock: Soft Succulent (retired), Petal Pink, Basic White, Country Floral DSP (retired)

Accessories: Curvy Dies (retired), Stylish Shapes Dies, Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Country Bouquet Punch, Petal Pink/Champagne Ribbon (retired), Champagne Rhinestones (retired) Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I love the colors of this one! It was fun to pull out some retired items and create with them. It's hard to see but the floral piece of DSP was diecut with one of the Curvy Dies that retired maybe a year or two ago. I never got much use from them so I hope to start using some of these things!

Butterfly Gala

 Good Morning & Happy Wednesday!

I'm hopeful today that our back porch soffit project will wrap up!

I'll be glad to have my back porch back and to be able to sit out there again.

Sunday, we packed up all the furniture and my glider and put it in the garage so the porch was empty and would not be an obstacle for the contractor. I sit out there every morning with Bailee and soak up the peace & quiet and listen to the birds chirp! I have missed that the last few days! Tonight I have an appointment to go get my 2nd Covid booster shot so tomorrow I am not planning too much. It's to be a stormy day so it may just end up being a PJ day!

I have another pretty card to share that the ladies made on Saturday.

This one uses all retired products.

I had all the diecutting done for them.....all they had to do was their stamping/punching and putting them together! Miss Emily used a Happy Birthday saying on her card instead of the Thinking of You sentiment. It has been 6 months since we last got together to make cards and she said she needed alot of cards as she bought many off of my card rack, too!

Card Details:

Stamps: Quite Curvy (retired), Butterfly Gala (retired)

Ink: Terracotta Tile (retired), Old Olive

Cardstock: Terracotta Tile (retired), Old Olive, Basic White, Ornate Garden Specialty Paper (retired)

Accessories: Stitched Shapes Framelits (retired), Circle Layering Framelits, Curvy Dies (retired), Butterfly Duet Punch (retired), Terracotta Tile Ribbon (retired), Champagne Rhinestones, Glue Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I'm not sure why but pulling out these retired products and using them always brings me joy! I guess sometimes I do not get a chance to use these products while they are still available so using them down the road makes me happy! I usually do not get rid of any of my stamps. I have 20+ years of many stamps. Shawn says that is his retirement fund! LOL

Men!!
