Lots of odds and ends of stuff to do today including getting ready for class tonight.

The card - flowers are from SU, script background is Stampabilities, sentiment is Endless Creations.  The stamped panel is popped up.  Colors are black, vanilla, kraft, poppy, olive and marina mist.  (I wish I had embossed the background on this one - looks a little too plain to me)

I had thought about doing some errands today, but since it's pouring rain at the moment I might reconsider that plan.  We'll see what it looks like later in the day I guess.   So it's back to work on class projects for now.

Enjoy your day!

The card - The background was first stamped with SU's 'sanded' background stamp in pear (on pear card stock)  Then I stamped the script background in white.  (They are pretty subtle and don't show up well in the photo).  Butterflies are from SU.  Colors are black and pear.

It's going to be a week of mostly working on class projects.  I can't believe that February is almost over.  Dang, that went by fast!

Have a great day!

The card - butterfly is from SU, sentiment is Papertrey.  Embossed pieces are cherry cobbler, poppy and peach.


Gosh, this last week has gone by much too fast.....  and I sure didn't get everything done that I intended to.... this week I will be more focused......well, it's a good thought anyway!

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - an old mining shaft outside of Ouray.

A head's up - Seasons to Follow (downtown on Main Street) is expanding their selection of scrapbooking/card making supplies.  They've just gotten some awesome new paper in from My Mind's Eye and Fabscraps.  Yep, I came home yesterday with several sheets and a couple of 6 x 6 pads - and after I was just saying I had way too much paper and needed to get rid of some.  But.......it was just too cool to pass up!   Think I might have to play with some of it today :)

Enjoy your day! 

The card - tulips are from Hero Arts, sentiment is SU.  The tulips are embossed with white, punched out and popped up.  Colors are basic gray and piroutte pink.

Back to work on class projects today then some Friday night crafting with Deb tonight. 

Have a fabulous day!

The card - stamps are from Penny Black.  Colors are poppy, olive and white.  I wiped off some of the ink from the background stamp to get the faded out look.

Working on class projects today, then Deb & I will be attending session 2 of our Wool Applique class tonight. 

Have a wonderful day!

The card - another guy card.  Bicycle stamp is from Technique Tuesday, Happy Birthday is from SU.  Printed paper is from 7 Gypsies.  Embossing folder used at the bottom is from SU.  Colors are black, white and cherry cobbler.

The last two days I have been pretty worthless.  But, today, Judy S is coming over to stamp so here's hoping I will be motivated to actually get something done! 

Enjoy your day!

The card - not much stamping here, but thought it was a nice simple, cheery card.  The butterfly punch is from Martha Stewart and I just punched them in a variety of colors.

Not sure what I'm doing today - probably should get to work on some class projects.....we'll see how creative I'm feeling when I'm actually awake.

Have a fabulous day!

The card - Judy S used this stamp from Hero Arts at our Shoebox club a couple weeks ago.  I copied her layout, but changed things up a bit.  The stamped image is embossed with white on kraft with pearls added to the center of the flowers. 


Not sure what my plans are for the day - need to get my stamp room cleaned up for sure!  Maybe if I start with that it will motivate me to do the rest of the house too - lol - I did say maybe :)  I do need to get things together for class tonight too.

Have a wonderful day!

Scrappin' Sunday - a layout from Christmas.

I think today will be a stamping day.  Just need a day to do 'whatever' instead of  'have to' things :)

Have a wonderful day!

Photo Saturday - Mt Garfield at sunset

I've started reading the "Hunger Games" triology - uh oh.....don't want to put it down!  But I'm telling myself that I have to get some work done today before I pick the book up again.......

Have a great day!

The card - I've been working on some 'guy' cards this week.........the background on this card was printed using SU's MDS program.  I die cut a couple of stars and popped them up on the front.  The Happy Birthday is from CTMH and is stamped on black on top of the printed panel.

Movie day - Judy D and I are going to see 'Man on the Ledge' this afternoon.  Guess I should get at least a little work done this morning :)

Enjoy your day!

The card - stamped image is from Penny Black.  The image is stamped with black on a piece of white.  Then I tore the edges and sponged.  I stamped the butterflies a second time,  cut them out and popped them up.

Need to regroup a bit this morning, do some errands and get ready for class tonight.

Have a fabulous day!

The card - stamped images are from Hero Arts.  Card is vanilla, clocks are stamped with kraft, sentiment is stamped in black. 

It seems as if I have a gazillion things that need to be done all at once.  (well, ok, maybe not a gazillion, but, still, a lot!)  Not sure how that happened, but I guess I better focus today and try to get some of them done!

Enjoy your day!

Happy

Valentine's

Day!

and Happy Anniversary to my friends,
Bob & Judy
Jerry & Celisa

Working on wedding invitation samples today.  (gosh, that sounds familiar!).  Looking forward to a SU workshop with Deb tonight.  It looks like it's going to be a busy week.

Enjoy your day!

Project Sunday - I've joined the Smash Book craze.  My Smash book is going to be a place to put all those everyday things that I want to remember but don't want to do an entire scrapbook page about - movies, concerts, quotes, etc.  Just kind of a fun thing with no rhyme or reason.  If you haven't seen these books, google 'smash books' - there's a cute video on You Tube that will give you an idea what these books are all about.  Fun!

I covered the front of mine with some fun paper.  I've only done a couple of pages so far.....and I can't quite seem to achieve the really messy look they do on the video. 

This morning I need to get to work on some wedding invitations that I am doing for some friends of my son's and this afternoon I am going to the quilt store for some stitchin' time (my wool applique project). 

Have a wonderful and fun day! 

Photo Saturday - another black & white - winter on Grand Mesa.

A trip to Delta today with Judy S - lunch and some retail therapy..... life is good.

The card - stamped image is from SU, sentiment is from Papertrey.  Colors are not quite navy, white and old olive.

Movie day today - going to spend the afternoon watching George Cloony........works for me!  Friday night stampin' tonight - hopefully I can be productive - except for class stuff it seems like it's been forever since I've gotten any stamping done - and I'm running out of cards to post!

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from Papertrey.  Flower is made by punching three scallop circles and crinkling them up and layering them with a button for the center.  Colors are celery, white and pirouette pink.

Shoebox Club tonight - bet you know what that means :)  Need to get a project figured out and then maybe I can get some other stamping done.

Have a wondrful day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Colors are cherry cobbler, artichoke, black and white.  The label was stamped twice, once with black, then again with cherry cobbler.  The cherry cobbler one is punched out with an oval punch and layered on top of the black label which is popped up.

I have to get class stuff finished up today - not sure why I'm having such a hard time, especially with the scrapbook layouts......they just are not coming together! 

Have a wonderful day!

Scrappin' Sunday - a layout from Thanksgiving.

Time to get some household chores done - laundry would be at the top of that list.  Also need to finish up class stuff .........just another fun-filled day :)

Enjoy your day!

Photo Saturday - something a little different today - a black and white photo.  I love black and white but don't remember to work with it enough.  This is a winter scene from Grand Mesa.

Crop day today - yay!  Planning on getting lots done :)

Have a great day!

The card - stamped image is from Penny Black.  I colored the flower with copics.  Colored and cut out the butterflies and popped them up.   Colors are white and wisteria.

I thoroughly enjoyed the movie yesterday - went to see Joyful Noise.  It was a happy movie - no violence, no really bad words, no sex -  ok, it was a little dorky, but the music was great!  I would see it again just to listen to the music! 

Have a great day!

The card - a really simple one.  Punched hearts from patterned paper.  Sentiment is from My Sentiments Exactly.  It's hard to see in the picture, but there are several scored lines at the bottom that I did with my scor-pal. 

Need to get some work done on class stuff this morning - going to a movie this afternoon with Judy S and Judy D.  

Have a wonderful day!

The card - butterfly stamp is from SU.  I masked off about an inch around the edges of the card, then stamped a music background.  I then stamped off before stamping some butterflies on top of the background.   I stamped a butterfly in black on the background, then stamped another one on a seperate piece, colored it, cut it out and popped it up.

Going to get a hair cut this morning and then I must get busy on class projects.  When I flipped my calendar over I realized that card classes start a week earlier than I thought in February - oh,oh.

Have a great day!

Note to Kelly:  copy away!  (I'm sure I copied the card from somewhere to begin with :)
