Scrappin' Sunday - a scrapbook page - finally!  I have been working on Tracy's wedding album, just have a lot of pages that still need journaling, or embellishments etc.  The pages are all pretty simple, no bulky stuff - there are so many pictures which translates into lots of pages, so I want to keep it as flat as possible.  

Have quite the list of things I could be doing today - laundry, yardwork, class projects, stamping - oh my, what to chose :) 

Have a great day! 

Photo Saturday - this was what the sky looked like on our way to Denver last weekend.   Made for a nice drive since we didn't have the sun shining in our eyes.  

Looking forward to a delayed birthday celebration with Deb, Emily and Sherry tonight.  Dinner at WW Peppers - yum - can hardly wait - haven't been there for a long time!

Enjoy your day!

Gosh this week has gone fast - I can't believe that it's Friday already!  I didn't get nearly as much done this week as I had planned, but what the heck, there's always next week, right? 

Have fabulous day!

The card - stamp is from Stampendous.  This is a new one I picked up on our trip last weekend.  Love the stamp, but not real crazy about my coloring on this one - came out a bit more intense than I was originally going for - think I'll have to try it again with more of a watercolor look.

Yard work this morning.  Then Judy D and I are going to  Farmer's Market tonight - looking forward to seeing the 'new and improved' Main Street.

Have a great day!

The card - flower stamp is from SU, script background stamp is from Just for fun.  I embossed the flowers in white, then sponged the piece with marina mist and pear.  Card is marina mist, mat is pear. 

Off to do my errands this morning (yep, the ones I didn't get to yesterday), then Judy S is coming over for an afternoon of stamping fun!  Yea!

Have a beautiful day!

The card - stamped image is from Hero Arts.  Pleated paper is from Bazzill.  Colors are kraft and real red.  (Saw a sample of this card on our trip to Denver and just had to buy the pleated paper so I could make this card.  Now to figure out what to do with the rest of it!)

For a week that I thought was going to be pretty low key it has turned out that it is going to be a fairly busy one after all.  But that's ok - it will be filled with mostly fun stuff!  Working on wedding invitations today, a couple of errands and then Jeff & Sara are taking me to dinner tonight for my birthday (I do like to spread these birthday celebrations out!)

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Butterfly is a SU die cut.  Colors are baja, eggplant and pear.

Gosh, it is really wet, chilly and dreary this morning.  Good day to stay indoors, for sure!  Think I will try to get some work done on wedding invitation samples and get things together for class tonight.

Have a great day!

The card - the image was printed on the computer using SU's MDS.  Just added some printed paper and twine.

What a great weekend!  Shopping and eating, more shopping and more eating and then even more shopping and eating!  A BIG thanks to Judy S for making my birthday so much fun!  I have quite the stash of new stuff to play with so I may just dive right into some stamping today!

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - this butterfly hung around long enough for me to go in the house and get my camera and then posed nicely for several photographs - what a nice, cooperative butterfly ;)

More fun today - hopefully we will be finding lots of fun new scrapbooking/stamping stuff. (as if I needed anymore!)  We'll be on our way home tonight.

Have a great day!

The card - the image on this card is computer generated (from SU's MDS).  I printed it in black, then did a little bit of coloring.  Sentiment is from Hero Arts.  Colors are sahara sand, cherry cobbler, black, white and not quite navy.

Off to play ........Judy S and I are on on way to Denver for an overnight road trip.  Woo hoo!  Today is my birthday so we are celebrating with a little get-away.  Lots of shopping and eating at fun places (Five Guys Burgers & Fries here I come!)

Have a great day!

The card - no stamping on this one.  The flower (SU) is embossed on vellum, matted on a scalloped oval.  The border embossing at the bottom is a sizzix folder.  Colors are daffodil and white.

Need to get myself organized today so I can 'play' for the next two days!  Class tonight.

Enjoy your day!

Haircut and errands this morning.  Hopefully I'll be able to work on the wedding album this afternoon.  (I'm on a mission to get it done!)

Enjoy your day!

The card - a hybrid card.  The printed paper and the main image were both printed from the computer using SU's MDS program.  I then cut and matted the pieces just as I would with any paper and added some bakers's twine.

A busy day today - class this morning and again tonight and in between I need to take my car in for a service. 

Have a fabulous day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Colors are plum, baja and pear.

Think I'm going to try and get some yard work done this morning.  I spent the last two days sitting and scrapbooking so it's time to get up and move around a little - and I guess yardwork will fit the bill for that at least!

Have a great day!

The card -  this is the card I did for our Shoebox Club the other night.  It's a hybrid card - the sail boat is from SU's MDS.  I printed it on white - colored a bit with markers.  The sentiment is stamped.  I added the strips of colored cardstock & matted the piece on black.  Card is Bliss Blue.

 I have a completely free day today - gosh, I'm not sure what I'm going to do.  Maybe nothing - and that will be ok.

Enjoy your day!

Photo Saturday - the colors in this sunset last week were rather eye-catching.

Crop day today - yea!  The GTG are coming so it will be a good day.  Hopefully I will get lots done on Tracy's wedding album.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Colors are eggplant and olive.

Water the lawn, go to the library and then hopefully I can get some stamping done today! 

Enjoy your day!

The card - stamped image is from Hero Arts.  Colors are lavender & celery.

My plan for the morning was to get some yard work done, now the wind is blowing already (I was hoping it would at least wait til the afternoon!) so I may have to regroup. 

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from Papertrey.  The images are stamped on address labels, then applied to the white mat.  I sponged the labels first, then stamped the images in black.

Need to finish up the class kits today - have class tonight, so getting them bagged is a top priority. 

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from Papertrey.  Colors are celery, white and a variety of colored buttons.

To answer a question from yesterday - when I emboss I use a Versamark pad to stamp the image, then cover with  embossing powder.  My favorite white embossing powder is called Filigree Fine Art Powder made by Superior.  (I think I ordered it from Papertrey).  I also like the Super Fine Detail embossing powder from Ranger.  One of the best things to do (especially when embossing with white on dark colors) is to use an 'embossing buddy' - it's a bag of powder that you wipe the card stock with before stamping the image.   Hope this helps.

Cutting and bagging card class kits today.  Need to have them done before tomorrow night. 

Enjoy your day!

The card - stamped image is from Hero Arts.  The image is embossed in white on artichoke.  Card is mellow moss. 

Time to get back to work on class stuff.  Got the projects done last week, but they still need to be cut and bagged - and I have class tonight.  So......looks like that will be my job for today.


Have a great day!

The card - stamped image is from SU.  Colors are pear and concord.

Not sure exactly what my plans are for today, but I am hoping for some stamping time this afternoon. 

Enjoy your day!

A crop day today!  A couple of the GTG are coming to crop and I am planning on getting back to work on Tracy's wedding album. 

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Colors are kraft, daffodil, poppy, peach and pear.

Time for a little housework today - I've been concentrating on the outside this week and the poor inside of the house is rather a mess.  (not sure how that happens).  

Enjoy your day!

The card - stamped images are from SU (sentiment is Hero Arts).  Colors are river rock, poppy and peach. 

Not sure what direction I'm going in today - got most of the rose bushes trimmed yesterday, only have a couple left to do but it's supposed to be windy today and so I'm thinking I'll switch gears today and do something else on my list.  (it's a long list so there's plenty to do!)

Enjoy your day!

The card - I copied this card from one that we did with Sherry at stamp club a couple months ago.  I just made a few minor changes.  Stamps are from SU.  Colors are marina mist and white.

Yard work today.  I'm hoping to get the rest of the rose bushes trimmed.  Can't believe it's the first of June and they still aren't done!

Have a wonderful day.
