The card - super simple - stamped leaves and sentiment are from Papertrey. Colors are olive and groovy guava.

Brrrr - it's cold! More like winter than spring that's for sure. Good day to stay indoors and get some chores done!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - image is from Inkadinkado. I inked it with teal, then sponged a bit of navy at the bottom before stamping. Colors are teal, navy and white.

Snow? It's the end of April. What the heck? Have to admit I can't remember it ever snowing this late in April. Guess I don't have to worry about doing yard work today - although I hadn't really planned on it anyway - the forecast called for rain. (not snow!) Have some class stuff to finish up and lots of household chores I need to do.

Have a great day!

The card - this card was inspired by a card Deb did with us in stamp club a couple weeks ago. I loved the black & white look and using just the outline of the flower (Awash with Flowers). I just changed the direction of the card and added some flower soft to the center of the flowers.

It's supposed to be very windy today so the yard work will have to wait for another day. I guess I will just have to spend the day stamping - what a shame, huh?

Have a great day!

The card - tulip is made with the 'wing' from the SU bird punch. Scallop rectangle is from nestabilities. Colors are pink pirouette, black and white.

I got quite a few rose bushes trimmed yesterday, but still have a lot to do. So, it's back to the yard work today. Class tonight.

Enjoy your day!

Monday, April 26, 2010



The card - some more Awash with Flowers (SU) Colors on this one are olive, melon, and pumpkin.

It's time to start the yard work - oh boy! According to the weather man today and tomorrow are the only nice days we are going to have all week so...........I guess I better get to it and try to get as much done as I can in the next two days.

Have a fabulous day!

Scrappin' Sunday - a matching page to last week's layout. Paper is from Basic Grey.

Bagging class kits today. Jeff is coming out this afternoon to replace some shingles that blew off the roof last week and I told him I'd cook dinner as payment - that means a quick trip to the store for a couple of things I need for dinner.

Hope you are having a great weekend!

Photo Saturday - I'm amazed that the wind this week didn't blow all the pretty tree blossoms away.

Looking forward to a day with The Good Time Girls today. Although it's going to be a small group this month it's always a fun day and I'm hoping to get lots done!

Have a great day!

Friday, April 23, 2010





The card - a bit more of Awash with Flowers (SU) Colors are razzleberry and olive.



Think I will try to do some errands this morning before the rain that they are forecasting gets here. Then it will be back to work on class projects. I did get a bit done yesterday, but not as much as I hoped - guess I used up all my mojo on Wednesday. Only have 1 more 2-page layout to do though, so hopefully that will come together today.



Enjoy your day!

The card - stamps are from Papertrey (Blooming Button Bits) Colors are groovy guava, olive and chocolate.

Working on more class projects today. I was quite productive yesterday so now I just have to keep the momentum going today.

Have a fabulous day!

Wednesday, April 21, 2010



The card - another one with Awash with Flowers. ( SU) Colors are kraft, chocolate, white, caramel and olive.

I think I am going to try and get some class projects done today. So, here's hoping for a creative and productive day.

Have a great day.

The card - used Judy's bird punch (SU) for this one. I'm not much of a bird person but I do like the card. Colors are riding hood red, chocolate, and olive. The scallop punch at the bottom is a new one I got from EK Success. Sentiment is from Papertrey.

Have a lot to get done this week - just not sure where to start - still haven't quite figured out what the plan is. I'm sure I can figure out something to start with if I just put my mind to it.

Enjoy your day!

Monday, April 19, 2010



The card - just got this new set from SU - Awash with Flowers. Love it - I spent most of my stamping time the last few days playing with it. The colors I used for this one are basic grey, amethyst, lilac, regal rose and olive.

I really need to get myself organized today and make my plans for the week. It's time to get started on the yard work - and there's a couple of other projects I want to do. Just have to make a plan and stick with it. (easier said than done some days). So, today I will get things ready for class tonight and then figure out my plan for the rest of the week.

Enjoy your day!

Scrappin' Sunday - a very simple layout with pictures from Rifle Falls. Paper is Basic Grey.

Since I've spent the last several days stamping I think I need to get some household chores done today - or maybe not! At least I'll give it a try.

Hope you are having a fabulous weekend.

Photo Saturday - in just the last few days I've noticed the trees are getting green and the blossoms are out - had to stop when I was in town doing errands and take a few pictures. So pretty.

Judy S is coming to stamp this afternoon - looking forward to a fun day!

Enjoy your day.

Friday, April 16, 2010



The card - still playing with buttons - this stamp came from a set called Everyday Button Bits by Papertrey. Sentiment is SU. Colors are white, celery and melon mambo.

Stamping, errands, chores - not necessarily in that order. Plenty to do to keep me busy, that's for sure.

Have a great day!

Thursday, April 15, 2010



The card - stamp is from SU - colors are olive, vanilla and a touch of ruby red.

I think I will try to get caught up on some household chores today - I have a feeling that the yard work will be taking over my time starting next week - oh joy!

Enjoy your day.

Wednesday, April 14, 2010



The card - stamp is from SU (Herb Expressions). Colors are Lavender and celery.

Have no real plans for today except for class tonight. I may go do some shopping, or maybe spend the day stamping - or maybe a little of both.

Happy stampin'

Tuesday, April 13, 2010



The card - back to some of my favorite colors - baja and chocolate. Sentiment stamp is from Papertrey - I think the swirl is from Inkadinkado.

Class this morning and then again tonight - maybe errands in between. Busy day.

Have a wonderful day!

Monday, April 12, 2010

The card - another one from Blooming Button Bits (Papertrey) Colors are kraft, chocolate, olive and melon mambo.

Gosh, yesterday was just a totally perfect day weather-wise. I probably should have been outside doing yard work, but I didn't want to ruin a perfectly good day. Can you tell I'm not really excited about that part of spring? But I do love the nice sun-shiny days!

I am going to try and get some chores done today (laundry being one!) and I am looking forward to Stamp Club with Deb tonight.

Enjoy your day.

Scrappin' Sunday - pictures from New Year's Day. I didn't take many pictures so didn't have much to work with - good thing this paper from Bo-Bunny was so pretty, I didn't have to cover it up. Background was a class layout.

Got the class projects finished yesterday - yea! Now it's on to cutting and bagging today. I may take a break from that this afternoon and go do a couple of errands - it seems a shame to hide in the house and not get out and enjoy a least a little of the beautiful sunshine we're having!

Have a great day!

Saturday, April 10, 2010



Photo Saturday - a sure sign of spring.

Well, Judy's reputation is intact. The Mexican Pie turned out well - we all thought it was pretty yummy!

I must get my class projects finished today. So I will be in my stamp room trying to be creative.

Have a wonderful day!

Friday, April 9, 2010



The card - stamp is from SU (Asian Artistry) Colors are not quite navy, olive, and riding hood red.

Loving this spring-like weather! Sunshine is good! I actually got outside and sprayed weeds yesterday.

Looking forward to our regular Friday night get-together tonight. I'm cooking dinner - trying a new receipe that Judy S recommended - so if it's a flop I guess I can always say it's Judy's fault!

Enjoy your day.

Thursday, April 8, 2010

The card - more from Blooming Button Bits (Papertrey) Card is kraft - stamping is done in black.

Have to get ready for our Shoebox Club tonight - however I did get my project done yesterday so all I have to do is cut the kits today. We're celebrating some birthdays tonight too so I am going to make icecream. And maybe I can even get some more work done on class projects.

Enjoy your day!

Wednesday, April 7, 2010



The card - stamp is from SU (Asian Artistry) embossed in white. Butterflies are SU die. Card is River Rock and white.

Hair cut and errands today. Hopefully I won't get blown away by the wind - geez, it was nasty yesterday!

Have a great day.

Tuesday, April 6, 2010


The card - more buttons - stamp from Papertrey Ink. Colors are white, perfect plum and artichoke.


Gosh, I will be glad when the wind stops blowing - all I can smell is dirt! The forecast says rain, which would almost be a good thing at this point.


Working on some projects today and then class tonight.


Have a wonderful day!

Monday, April 5, 2010



The card - stamps are from SU (Le Jardin Botanique) Colors are regal rose and olive.

Have to get kits cut and bagged today for class tonight. And maybe I can get started on class projects for next week.

Have a wonderful day.

Easter!

Photo Saturday - just a nice scenery shot taken at Rifle Falls.

Today - cleaning house. Yuk! But it must be done since I am having guests (16) for dinner tomorrow.

Have a wonderful day!

Friday, April 2, 2010

The card - another one from Paptertrey (Blooming Button Bits). Colors are celery and Pink pirouette.

Snow? It's April - what's up with that? Guess I shouldn't be too surprised - I got married in April and it snowed that weekend too (37 years ago!). Hopefully the spring weather will return soon.

Judy S and I are taking our friend Molly to brunch this morning for her birthday - that will be fun! Then I need to do some grocery shopping for Sunday's dinner. Tonight Deb, Emily and I are going to Sherry's for a homecooked meal (yay!) and some stamping time!

Enjoy your day.

Thursday, April 1, 2010



The card - I've been playing with a stamp set I recently got from Papertrey Ink - Blooming Button Bits. What fun! Now I'm on the lookout for buttons. This card was done with that set - card is kraft and saffron. Stamping is celery.

Working on class projects today. Good day to stay inside anyway since it's cold and raining!

Have a great day!
