Just a few layers on this card - haven't done one of those in a while. Stamps are from Verve (more of my new ones). Colors are kraft, baja and soft sky.

Still working on class projects...........

Have a great day!

Another card with my new Verve stamps. Colors are chocolate and baja.

Brrr- it's way too cold this morning. And snow? What's up with that? I guess it's springtime in the Rockies!!!!

Lots of class stuff to get done this week............

Stay warm - and enjoy your day!

Another card using the Manhattan Flower embossing folder. I embossed the image on vellum for this card. Kind of a nice effect.

Wow - what a productive day I had yesterday. Kelly, Sue & Eileen can come crop with me any day! They brought lunch - delicious homemade chili, salad and lots of snack goodies and even took my dog for a walk! We cropped for almost 10 hours - thanks, ladies - it was a great day!

Have to decide what to work on today - would like to continue with my scrapbooking since I'm in a groove, but really need to work on some class projects. Oh, decisions, decisions!

Have a wonderful day!

New stamps! I just got some new stamps from Verve and couldn't wait to play with them. The flowers and saying on this card come from one of the sets that I got. Paper is from Basic Grey.

Sue, Eileen and Kelly are coming to crop today. Should be fun! I'm hoping to get a lot of pages done.

Have a great weekend!

I bet you thought I was done with the white on white thing, huh? Nope. Couldn't resist trying it with this Manhattan Flower. Pretty simple - just the flower and swiss dots.

Playtime tonight - yea! But I do have a few things to get done before that. (like clean off the tables so we have a place to work!)

Have a wonderful day.

Another cute little tree - this is another one from my shopping trip to Delta. It's a Heidi Grace set. Paper is SU - colors are baja and chocolate. I kind of wish I had used some wider ribbon - oh well, next time.

Today is my daughter's birthday

Happy Birthday Tracy!

Quite appropriate weather today as it snowed the day she was born too.

Have a wonderful day!

I saw a card like this somewhere in blog land and wanted to give it a try. I really liked the way it turned out. The card is celery - the strips are celery, saffron and burgundy on a black mat. The background grass on each strip is from Verve - the flower stamp is SU. (Flowers in Silhouette) The flower is stamped with Versa Mark and embossed with white. Celebrate stamp is CTMH.

Have to go get a hair cut this morning. Then I'm meeting my friend Leslie for lunch - woo hoo! - that will be fun as I haven't seen her for months!

Happy stampin'

This card layout is one I copied from Deb - she did this "quilt" card at our Shoebox club a couple weeks ago. I changed it up a bit and used different paper and embellishments. The paper is from CTMH and the butterfly is a cuttlebug die/embossing folder. I added some stitch lines to the background.

My creativity seemed to be on vacation yesterday, which means I didn't get much done on the class projects. So, it's back to the drawing board today.

Enjoy your day!

This little tree stamp is one I got at The Scrappy Moose in Delta last week. I just thought it was too cute. (I think it's from Imaginisce) I stamped it in chocolate, then colored the little flowers with baja.

Errands today. Then I have to get to work on class projects.

Happy stampin'

This card is done with SU's new Manhattan Flower embossing folder. I embossed the piece first, then cut away the end piece. I used my blender pen with baja ink and added just a bit of color here and there. (it doesn't show up much in the picture) I also sanded it just a bit to make the embossing show up a little more, but not sure it made a lot of difference.

I spent the day in my stamping room yesterday. Got quite a lot done. Yea! More of the same today I hope.

Enjoy your day!

Flower stamp is from SU - butterfly punch is Martha Stewart. Scored lines at the bottom were made with the Scor-Pal.

I had several inquiries about the diamond shape on the card from a couple days ago. It is from EK Success - Diamond Paper Shaper. Ask your LSS to order it for you - or try Hobby Lobby, they carry a large selection of EK Success punches.

Off to accomplish something wonderful today - just not sure what that is going to be yet.

Have a great weekend!

A layout with pictures from our drive over Grand Mesa last month. The smaller pictures are all wallet size.

Chores today and then play time tonight with Deb and Sherry. Yea!

Happy scrappin'

Not much stamping on this card. I used a punch for the diamond shapes. Paper is from SU. Thought this would make a good "guy card".

Had a wonderful day yesterday. Came home from Delta with a stack of paper and some new stamps. Oh yeah, stuff I really needed! I am going to use them and not just add them to my stash! Yep, I am!

I am going to work on a class project today - have an idea going on in my head and think it's time to actually do it!

Happy stampin'

SU's Thoughts and Prayers and Parisian Breeze paper. Colors are baja and chocolate.

Taking a play day today - Judy D and I are going to Delta for lunch and scrapbook shopping. Yea!

Happy stampin'

May your Troubles be less

and your Blessings be more

and nothing but Happiness

come through your Door.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Used an older SU set for this card - Sidekick Sayings. Colors are wasabi, bayou and soft sky.

Today - um - not sure what my plans are for the day. I did get a pile of cards done yesterday to take to the church. Now, of course my stamp room needs to be cleaned up. And the laundry needs to be done. And I need to get started on some new class projects. And.......... guess I can find plenty to keep me busy. Class tonight, so I also need to get that area cleaned up. Yep, guess I won't have time to be bored.

Enjoy your day!

Here is a scrapbook layout from the wedding I went to in January. Loved having the wallet size photos to work with!

I'm planning on spending the day in my stamp room today - need to get some birthday cards finished up so I can take them to the church secretary this week.

Hope you are having a great weekend!

SU's Thoughts and Prayers with kraft (image is stamped with Sahara Sand) Now why didn't I notice that the happy birthday is crooked? oops!

Need to get a little stamping done this morning and then I'm going to a birthday lunch/dinner (what do you call it when it's at 2:00?). That will be fun - and a nice break.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Thought this card would work well for a "guy card". Stamp is from Verve - paper is from SU.

Have to get some errands done today - seems I never got around to it the other day. Tonight will be play time and I'm thinking I will try to get some more scrapbooking done.

Have a great day!

Very simple and easy card - SU's Fifth Avenue floral stamp - colors are baja and kiwi.

How did it get to be Thursday already? And how did I get so far behind this week? Must be my lack of organization or something - or maybe I'll blame it on the weather! ha! ha! I have Shoebox tonight and don't even have a project in mind yet, so guess I better get started on that.

Have a wonderful day!

This layout is another one from scrap class. Paper and stickers are from Bo-bunny.

Have to get the rest of the card class stuff cut and bagged today and hopefully will have time to do a few errands this afternoon. Class tonight.

Happy scrappin'

A simple spring card - stamp is from SU - colors are kiwi, pumpkin and pretty in pink.


Class this morning and again tonight - have to get busy because I still have to get kits ready - yikes!


Have a great day!

Fifth Avenue Floral with baja, black, kiwi and basic grey. A few layers, but very simple.

Whoa, this time change has messed up my shedule. Over slept this morning - although most of the reason for that is probably that I had chocolate cake too late last night and couldn't go to sleep.

It was a great day yesterday - cooking, stamping, eating (ate way too much), playing games and then more stamping!

Today I must get cards done for card class - didn't manage to get it done before, so now I'm down to the wire. (class is tomorrow morning) Yikes - guess I better get to work.

Have a wonderful day.

A quick and easy card. Image is from SU's Thoughts and Prayers. Colors are chocolate and old olive.

Company for dinner tonight and Deb is coming to stamp this afternoon. So, I'm off to get some dinner things prepared so I can enjoy my afternoon of stamping.

Hope you are having a wonderful weekend.

Not quite as much snow this morning as in these pictures, but it still looks white out there. This was a layout we did in Scrap Class last month. I loved this paper from Bo-Bunny.


Had a great time with Deb, Emily and Sherry last night. I got 2 two-page layouts done so that was a good thing.


Have to go to the grocery store this morning and then come home and get to work on cards for classes that start next week.

Enjoy your weekend!

I'm thinking spring and the last I heard we were going to be having rain and snow today and tomorrow - NO! It can't be! I want the sunshine and warm weather back.

Today's card is using SU's Echoes of Kindness with pink pirouette, pretty in pink and celery.

Last night we had Stamp Club with Roni - a great time and great cards! Thanks Roni!

Tonight is play time with Deb, Emily and Sherry. Think I'll be working on some more scrapbook pages.

Have a great day!

I very seldom use plain white pages for my scrapbook pages, but some how it just seemed to work the best for these pictures. The pictures are from our drive over Grand Mesa last September.

Have a lot of odds and ends I want to get done today. Then I need to get started on card class projects for next week. This week is going by much too fast!

Happy scrappin'

Loved these colors together - Not Quite Navy, Baja and Eggplant. Stamp is from SU's Echoes of Kindess.

Have errands to do today. Hopefully I will still be ambitious enough when I get home to get some stamping or scrapping done.

Enjoy your day!

This is one of the scrapbook pages I did last weekend. I realized after I had taken the picture that I forgot to add the journaling - oops! This was some fun paper that I picked up somewhere and found in my stash.

I'm going to multi-task today - laundry and getting the info together for my taxes. Neither one of which is very exciting but needs to be done. Figure if I get it all done today I can move on to something a little more fun!

Have a wonderful day!

No stamping - all images are rub-ons. I am determined to use up some of this stuff I have laying around. The label comes from a nestabilities set.

Prep for class today - and clean up the mess I left downstairs. I did get the projects done yesterday, now just have to cut and bag. I even managed to get a few scrapbook pages done yesterday.

Have a wonderful day!

A springy (is that a word?) card today. SU's Echoes of Kindess stamp with Guava and Wasabi. Used an embossing folder on the background.

Back to work on class projects today. I got sort of side-tracked yesterday. I was looking through some magazines and decided I needed to clean them out - so, I pulled out any articles and ideas I wanted to keep and threw the rest in the recycle bin. I have been thinking I would do this for a long time, but just never got around to it. But now it's done - yea! - but the class projects didn't get done. So, I guess I better get busy because class is tomorrow night.

Happy stampin'
