This View is Amazing!
Good morning from Iowa. It’s a beautiful Saturday morning. As I sit on the porch this morning with my coffee, this was my view.
It’s pretty magical seeing these balloons fly over the house. It’s even more magical when you think they are going to land in the field next to the house.
The kids are loving their time here. They can run like the wind, ride the golf carts and feed the horses. We are excited we will catch the Iowa State Fair while we are here too.
I’m taking this vacation very seriously. I took TWO naps yesterday. It’s been a long time since I’ve literally just laid out lazy like that. Typically on a vacation it’s go go go. We told Russ’ parents we were looking forward to REST. They have been very accommodating.
Of course I have projects to share and I’m a little stir crazy knowing my Holiday Mini products will be arriving soon without me to open. Ahhhh. **You know you can order too if you become a demonstrator. You can also choose Holiday Mini products for your kit! It’s such a great opportunity to become a demonstrator right now.

Amazing Birthday
I hope all the samples that I’ve been sharing have inspired you. When working on the samples for convention I realized that each of the sets we were given to work with were all perfect sets with versatility to make so many fun projects. You know how I feel about that. It’s GREAT when you can get more bang for your buck.
This set just gets better and better the more I use it. I love using color combinations that make the focal point of this set really stand out.
I used the Striped Scallop Thinlit on this card. Love how this framelit works. It’s very delicate. I can’t wait to try putting Designer Paper behind it.
You can see all the products used on this card below.
There are quite a few new promotions with Stampin’ Up! right now.

Such FUN pictures!
Love your card!
I have to speak to your hot air balloon pictures…I am dying to get to a place to watch them fill the balloons and see them lift into the morning light….most probably for me Reno, NV is the closest…I just need to get my husband to do it with me. I don’t think I can ever fly in one as I have thing for heights but I love to watch them. How fabulous for you – I would never tire of seeing them floating overhead. Good for you to take naps on your vacation…everyone should try to do this! How wonderful that you are with Russ’ family – with more love and goodness in your lives! Your card is wonderful – love how you have broken down the main stamp and layered it….your touches are always fabulous!
Oh my – so envious of you – have only seen the balloon festival in Iowa once – such a fantastic sight to behold! My daughters live in Ankeny – it is a great state to visit and REST in. Enjoy!
Those are beautiful pictures, wish I had looked at your blog earlier this week. You must be close to Indianola.
It is a beautiful site. Glad you are relaxing and enjoying your “restful” vacation. If you have not left Iowa yet, and find yourself close to Pella, would love to show you around our historical town.
I never comment on your stuff, love to look you are such a creative person. Thanks!
Carol, this year the balloons were amazing. The National Balloon Classic used to be ALL here in this little town of Indianola. Now they moved it to New Mexico. We always get lucky when we come to Iowa and get to see the Balloons. They are so peaceful to watch. Not something I would see in Florida.
Sounds like your family is enjoying a well deserved vacation! I LOVE this card (of course, I love everything you do)! And, EEEP! I am commenting on THE KVD’s blog! You are seriously amazing, and so uber creative and talented! Thanks for all of the great inspiration over MANY years! Now that I have met you I feel like I can say that and not feel like such a blog stalker! HAHAHAHA!
You are so funny girlie. Thanks for commenting. I don’t think you are a stalker… silly thing. You are my FRIEND!!!! XOXO
