Long time, no post

The Tramps did not met Easter weekend, we took time off to spend time with family. Doug, Elizabeth and I went to Mom and Dads. Michelle, John and Ashley came from Rapid City and Gary and Patty joined the fun.

Saturday afternoon the guys did some target shooting and Elizabeth and I joined in. We managed to hit the target once in a while.


Easter Sunday we all pitched in and had a tasty dinner, but enjoyed being with each other more than the food.

here are my table decorationsElizabeth and her Easter Basket


Tuesday we got together to make Joyce and Gwen "the mean lady in the Pink sweaters cards for the assisted living center. We had a great time, and tried to follow instructions the best we could. Attending were Ann, Karla, Pam, Lois, Paulette, Beth and Me

Thursday Paulette, Karla and I attended Susan's SU open house. I was great to see friends from Scatter Joy and put together Susan's beautiful cards






Saturday found us at Susan's house for Karla's (late for her own) party, the ideas Susan shared were pretty and her pictures from Hawaii made us envious of the trip, except for the ride in the ambulance.
We got to try two adorable ideas



See you Saturday

Calm before the storm

The weather was nice as the girls arrived yesterday, but by the time they left we had big snowflakes, with the promise of more. This morning when I got up there is about 6 inches of snow on the ground.

We worked on Pam's card first, it use SU Delicate Dots DSP, Polka Dot Punches heart stamp, heart punch and certainly celery ribbon, the center heart is popped out. It used a cute new fold,
paper needs to be 4 1/4 by 11, on the left side, fold over 2 inches then fold the right side to meet the edge. very fun and very cute.


As a group we completed Karla's Easter card for the assisted living, use an old tried and true DeNami set, colored with markers and topped with ribbon.

Paulette, Lois, Mary, Pam, Karla and I enjoyed the morning, we will not meet next week as I will be out of town. We are making plans for a play day on the first Saturday in May (National Scrapbook Day), you can bring Cricut cartridges, Nestabilities, Sixxix dies, SU toys and we will have a great day. I will put on a pot of sloppy joes and you can bring, chips (Peg) or what ever you want to share.


I will leave you with a funny bunny I made with SU punches and brads, need to go buy some pompoms for his tail.

Have a blessed Easter
