The card - stamped images are from A Muse. Pattern paper is Basic Grey.
I really have to get downstairs today and clean up the mess I made - everything that didn't go back in the closet is piled all over down there. And I have class tomorrow night so I at least need to get the tables cleared off.
Enjoy your day!
Scrappin' Sunday - Here's the layout I did of Jeff shaving his head on St Patrick's Day. (those wallet size photos sure do come in handy when you have a lot of pictures you want to use!)
Watering the lawn, laundry, working on class projects and ????? Plenty to do! Hopefully Judy S will be coming to stamp this afternoon so I will have a good excuse to play!
Hope you are having a fabulous weekend.
Much better, don't ya think? I'm not putting the doors back on so the stuff will be much more accessible (and it will be incentive for me to keep it neat!)
The card - stamped images are from A Muse. Colors are celery and regal rose.
Whew - the closet is done! I even managed to get a few other things cleaned up and re-organized in my room. There are still some drawers and a cupboard that I need to clean out, and I need to do something about my paper stash, but I think I'm going to leave that til another day. I will show you the before and after pictures of the closet tomorrow.
Have a great day!
The card - stamp is from SU (Elements of Style) Sentiment is from Papertrey. Background is the new textured impressions embossing folder from SU. Colors are brocade blue and white.
Amost done with the closet - Jeff came and put in the shelves yesterday, so now I just need to fill them up! (I'm pretty sure that's not going to be a problem)
Have a great day!
The card - grass and sentiment are from A Muse, butterfly is Hero Arts. The butterfly is colored with saffron. Flowers are from Prima.
The closet is coming along - it's empty and waiting for shelves, which Jeff is going to come and help me with after work today. I will go get some errands done this morning and then try to figure out what to do with some of this stuff. A lot of it will just be hauled downstairs which will mean a whole other cleaning out and rearranging job. (it's a snowball effect!)
Have a wonderful day!
The card - stamped image is from SU (Elements of Style) Stamped in black, colored with a blender pen - eggplant and olive. Sentiment is from A Muse.
Well, I did decide to start on my closet yesterday - oh my - now I have an even bigger mess! Who knew that much stuff would fit in a closet! Now it's all over the room. I think this project is going to take all week! So, back to work.................
Have a great day!
The card - flower and sentiment are from SU (Watercolor Trio) Colors are artichoke, mellow moss and pretty in pink.
I have been wanting to re-do, clean out, and rearrange the closet in my stamp room. It is such a mess it is overwhelming. But I think I might at get started on that project today. We'll see........
Enjoy your day!
Scrappin' Sunday - finally got a few more pages done! This is a class layout - paper is from Basic Grey.
Had a great day of scrappin' yesterday. Didn't get as much done as I hoped, but 3 layouts is better than nothing! I think I'll spend today stampin' - got a new stamp in the mail yesterday and I need to ink it up!
Hope you are having a great weekend!
Photo Saturday - just a nice little scenery spot in Dayton, Ohio. This was near the Wright Brothers flying field.
OK - enough with he wind! All I can smell is dirt. What little bit I can smell that is since the wind is playing havoc with my sinus's. Yuk! Enough whining - it will be a good day - wind or no wind - since the Good Time Girls are coming to crop and I plan on getting lots done!
Have a great day!
The card - stamped images are from SU (Watercolor Trio) Colors are soft suede and razzleberry. The background script (Stampabilities) is stamped with sahara sand.
It's supposed to be a nice day so I am going to take advantage of that and spend some time in the yard dealing with weeds. Class tonight.
Have a wonderful day!
The card - leaf stamp is from Papertrey, background, butterfly and sentiment are SU.
I ended up taking an r & r day yesterday. Just couldn't get motivated to do much of anything. Today I am going to get some chores done in the house so that tomorrow I can get some yard work done. (at least that's my plan!)
Happy stampin'
The card - more with Watercolor Trio (SU) Colors are saffron, olive, and razzleberry.
Today.......um......no clue! Haven't figured out what I'm doing today yet. My plan for this week was to work in the yard - now the weather isn't exactly cooperating. Can you believe there is a winter storm watch (meaning snow) for the mountains? Good grief - it's the middle of May! So, I guess I'll find something to do indoors - there's plenty to do, just need to figure out what I'm in the mood for. Of course there is always the option of spending the day stamping.
Have a great day!
The card - a new set from SU - Watercolor Trio. I'm having fun playing with this set - lots of different things you can do with all the images. Colors are olive and regal rose. Card is vanilla - background script is stamped with sahara sand.
Back to planting flowers today. My plan for getting them all done in one day didn't quite work out. Had to call on my friend Bob (Judy S' sweet husband) to help me out with a broken light pole. I thought the whole thing was a loss but he managed to fix it - yea! I owe him big time! So, today I will get the patio flowers done and then I can move on to getting the weeds under control (again!) Class tonight.
Have a wonderful day!
Project Sunday - I realized I had never shown you the 'rag purse' that I made a while back. I gave this one to Tracy for her birthday. They are really fun and easy to do and I have several more cut and ready to sew - just haven't taken the time to put them together.
It looks like it's going to be a nice day so my plan is to get started on planting the flowers. I didn't buy as many this year as usual so I'm hoping I can get them all done in one day!
Hope you are having a fabulous weekend!
Photo Saturday - this is the camera that took the picture of the Wright Brothers first flight at Kitty Hawk. How would you like to haul that thing around? Don't think I'd be taking near as many pictures!
Looks like it's going to be a stampin' day for me today. I did go buy my flowers yesterday but it doesn't look like it's going to be a good day for planting. We got a lot of rain last night and it's still sprinkling. Hopefully tomorrow it will be nice and I can get the flowers planted.
Have a great weekend!
The card - stamped image is from Papertrey. Colors are teal, olive, and suede.
I am so looking forward to our Friday night get-together - it's been two weeks since I've had a chance to just stamp for fun! And........I will have a new stamp set to play with tonight since Sherry will be bringing my order from last week's stamp club - yea! But before that I am planning on going and buying flowers for the yard and hopefully will have a nice day over the weekend to get them planted.
Enjoy your day!
The card - Stamps are from SU - colors are celery and riding hood red.
We have our Shoebox Club tonight and I don't have my project done yet (and no idea what I'm doing!) so I guess I better get busy and get that done. Also need to do a birthday card for my son Jeff - his birthday is Saturday but our schedules didn't mesh so I'm taking him to dinner tonight (before Shoebox).
Have a wonderful day!
The card - flower is from SU (Of the Earth) inked with olive and melon markers. Sentiment is from Papertrey. Colors are melon mambo, olive and white.
I'm having a hard time getting back in the 'groove' after being on vacation. My original plan for this week was to get my flowers planted, but the weather is not cooperating with my plan. So...... I think I will try to get some chores and errands done today. Class tonight.
Happy stampin'
The card - stamped images are from Papertrey. Colors are white, olive and riding hood red.
I'm back! What a great weekend. The day of graduation was pretty cold (and windy), but since most of the activities took place indoors it wasn't too bad. Sight-seeing with Tony on Friday was fun and the amusement park on Sunday was perfect. Now it's back to real life. Need to get things together for my class this morning and another class tonight - unpacking in between - and that will probably be the total of my activity for the day!
Have a great day!
The card - stamps are from Papertrey and SU. Colors are white, perfect plum and mellow moss. Butterflies are Martha Stewart punch. The flower is one I've seen a lot on blogs & websites. It's really just three scallop circle punches wadded up and layered.
Travel Day - returning home today. Hopefully I will have lots of fun pictures to scrapbook in the coming weeks.
Enjoy your day!
Happy Mother's Day!
This will be the first time in lots of years that I've spent Mother's Day with both of my kids (or with either one of them for that matter!) It will be truly special this year! The plan is to spend the day at King's Island amusement park - but Tracy & Tony are working on alternate plans in case the weather is bad. Whatever we do I will just enjoy the fact that we are together.
The card - Awash with flowers (SU) - colors are lavender and celery. I even added some glitter to the flower (not something I do often enough!)
Photo Saturday - don't you just the smell of the lilac bushes - a sure sign of spring. I wish they lasted all summer! (I don't have any in my yard but these are just on the other side of the fence)
Graduation Day - we'll be celebrating with Tracy today as she receives her Masters of Divinity in Youth and Young Adult Ministry from Bethany Seminary.
Have a great day!
The card - more Awash with Flowers - colors are regal rose, pumpkin, saffron and olive.
Time to get myself organized - we leave for Ohio early in the morning so I have to get the laundry finished and figure out what clothes to take. Hopefully I will have some time to get some blog posts scheduled for the days I am gone - don't want you all to feel neglected!
Have a wonderful day.
The card - stamps are from SU (Vintage Vogue). Colors are kraft, baja, and chocolate. It's a little hard to see but I did use the vintage roller on the background.
Today - errands, laundry, water the lawn, class tonight. I thought I was pretty much on top of things but it seems like I have an awful lot to do before I leave for Ohio on Thursday.
Enjoy your day!
The card - stamped images are from Papertrey. Colors are olive,
Well the weather turned out to be not so bad yesterday after all so I ended up spending almost 8 hours finishing up my yard work! I'm done with all the rose bushes and weeds for now! Woo hoo! Now I can spend the next few days getting ready for my trip to Ohio. So, today I'm going to get ready for my class tonight (cut kits and set up) and then I think I will go do a little shopping.
Have a great day!
Sorry, no scrapbook page today. I didn't realize I hadn't taken pictures of any more pages - so......today you get a card instead of a layout.I saw this card somewhere out in blog land and decided to give it a try. The flowers are from SU (5th Avenue Floral) - stamped and embossed with white. Then I colored them with a versa mark pen. Now, how cool is that? The card is kraft, ribbon is soft suede.
I had planned on trying to finish up the yard work today (still have a whole section of rose bushes to trim). However it's pretty wet from the rain we got during the night and it looks like we could even get some more. So, I guess it's going to be an indoor day!
Hope you are having a fabulous weekend!
