Photo Saturday - you know it's spring in Western Colorado when you see the pretty blossoms on the fruit trees.

So many things to do.....not sure where to start.  Guess I better get the class stuff done first!

Have a great day!

The card - stamped image and lable die cuts are from SU.  Printed paper is from a Bo-bunny 6 x 6 paper pad.    Colors are daffodil, pear and white.

Aw....a play day today.  Judy S and I are going to breakfast and then a little shopping.  Looking forward to a day away from the house (and the construction outside!)

Enjoy your day!

The card - stamped image is from Penny Black. The printed paper is from a 6 x 6 Authentique pad. I used some pumpkin and baja to ink the stamp, and the image is matted with pumpkin.

It's time to get to work on class projects again. That's my goal for today. Then we have applique class tonight - this is the last one in this series - I'll finally learn how to finish the back of all these projects I have started :)

Have a wonderul day!

The card - stamped image is from SU.  I inked the stamp with markers, then stamped, then used the SU oval embossing folder.  I punched the shape out with a marvy scallop punch, then added another scallop punch as a mat.  The ribbon is attached between the two layers.  Colors are coral, pear and white.

So, the city has started work on a section of land just south of my house....they are turning a nice grassy area into a parking lot.  Ok, I had prepared myself for the dust and dirt and the noise of construction vehicles.......found I really can't hear the vehicles running, but you know that beeping sound they make when they back up.....omg...it's VERY loud!  And VERY annoying.  And it goes on all day long!   Think I could sue for 'extreme mental distress'?  Probably not.  So, I turn the radio up very loud and stay at the other end of the house as much as possible - luckily that is where my stamp room is :)

Have a great day!

The card - image is from SU's MDS - I printed it out then used SU's new labels dies to cut out the shape and did a little coloring on the flowers and leaves.  Colors are basic grey, daffodil, black and white.

Went down to the basement yesterday, took one look at the stuff that needs to be done, got overwhelmed and decided it was a job for another day..... I do have to at least get it a little picked up today since I have class tonight :)

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Colors are indigo, limeade and white.

Well, let's see.....I stitched all day on Saturday....I stamped all day on Sunday...ummm...dang, I guess it's time to try and get the basement cleaned up. 

Enjoy your day!

Kelly - please feel free to share the photo.  And I have still been posting a photo every Saturday.... I'm a little confused as to what you meant :)

The card - sentiment is from Hero Arts, butterfly is a combination of 2 dies from SU.  An easy card and a good way to use up some scraps.  Colors are white, kraft, pirouette pink, limeade and pool party.

Looking forward to an afternoon of stampin' with Judy S....... 

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - the sunrise yesterday - rather interesting.......

I had planned on spending the day cleaning up the basement.......seem to have lost the momentum for that at this point.  We'll see, maybe the mood will strike again.  If not, there's always stamping or stitching to do :)

Have a great day!

The card - butterfly is from SU, sentiment is Papertrey.  I stamped a script background in black, then punched it out and attached it to the embossed oval from SU.  The embossed oval is punched out with a scallop punch from Marvy.  Colors are baja and white.

Time to get a little housework done..... but that's ok because I have Friday night crafting with Deb to look forward to! 

Enjoy your day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Cloud punches are from Fiskars.  ( I think I should have popped the other two clouds up!)   I used an old circle stamp for the 'sun'.   Colors are black, real red and daffodil.

Aw....the paper work is finished, the taxes are done - yea!   Now I think I'll try to get some stamping done. 

Have a wonderful day!

The card - flower stamp is from Magenta.  I inked the stamp with makers then stamped it on some newsprint paper from My Minds Eye (I'm lovin' those 6 x 6 pads with smaller print!).  Colors are ruby red and olive.  Sentiment is from Papertrey (stamped in black).

Back to the paper work today - hopefully I can get it finished and move on to something a little more fun (like stampin' or stitichin :)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - a simple, one layer card.  Script background is from Stampabilities, little splotches are from SU, leaves are from Papertrey.  Colors are kraft and olive.

I should work on wedding invites today, but I also need to get some stamping done.....so we'll see....maybe I can do some of both.

Enjoy your day!

Photo Saturday - it was a beautiful day for a drive over the monument yesterday.....windows down, sun roof open, music blasting.....made lots of stops to take photos.

The Good Time Girls are coming today ...... it will be fun, as always.  I'm going to work on wedding invites .....here's hoping for a productive day!

Have a fabulous day!

The card - another one with this tree stamp from Northwoods.  I embossed the trees in black, then masked off the top and bottom and sponged over the trees with Tim Holtz distress inks. 

Working on wedding invites this morning.  Then I am going to get in my car, roll the windows down, open the sun roof and take a drive and enjoy this beautiful weather we are having.  It's just too nice to waste being indoors...........

Have a wonderful day!

The card - this is the card I did for our shoebox club last week.  Tulip stamp is from Hero Arts, sentiment is $1 stamp from Michael's.  Colors are limeade, peach, kraft and vanilla.

Hopefully I will get more accomplished today than I did yesterday.....that shouldn't take much effort since I somehow got through the day without accomplishing much of anything.   Have a lot that needs to be done so we'll hope that I can be a bit more productive today.

Have a great day!

The card - a new tree stamp I picked up on our trip (from Northwoods) and a new embossing folder (from Darice).  I stamped the trees in black and just added some color with copics.

Really need to work on tax stuff today - ugh!  Not my favorite thing to do, but I'm running out of time and haven't even started, so........guess that should be my goal today.

Have a great day!

Enjoy your day!

Working on class projects today - never got to them yesterday.  But I did finish up the wedding invite sample and got my project done for Shoebox club tonight so that was good! 

Have a wonderful day.

The card - stamped images are from Papertrey.  I used a wood grain embossing folder for the background and inked the folder before embossing to give it a bit more definition.  Colors are marina mist and wasabi.

Have to finish up the wedding invitation sample I have been working on and then hopefully I can get a start on cards for next week's classes. 

Have a great day!

The card - flower is from SU, sentiment is from the $1 bin at Michael's.  This is a layout that Deb used at our Stamp Club last month and I just changed it up just a bit.  Colors are white and razzleberry.

Oh my, what a wonderful weekend!  Our first stop was at an Archiver's in Denver (on our way to Ault).  I did  manage to find a few new goodies there :)  Saturday and Sunday were full days of shopping (branching out into Loveland, Windsor and Fort Collins - no place to shop in Ault!) .  Sherry took us to 2 shops that specialized in wool applique.... I did go a little nuts (as Deb said on her blog!)  We also found a cute little stamping store and of course I didn't leave there without a few new stamps.  We got Sherry hooked on the wool applique so now we have a new 'stitchin' buddy!  Such fun!  When we were at Sherry's we were either stitchin', eating or sleeping.  She was the ultimate hostess - THANKS Sherry for a great weekend!!!!!   Now I have to switch gears and return to the real world (better for my pocketbook probably) ....lots to do this week.  Need to get my 'work' done so I can play with some of my new stuff!

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from Papertrey.  I used a cloud punch to make the tree top and added a prima flower.   Colors are celery, kraft, white and espresso.

On our way home today...... boo hoo!

(these last 4 days of posts were done before I left, so I will catch you up on all the fun stuff tomorrow!)

Have a wonderful day.

Project Sunday - this is the spring 12 x 12 framed piece we did in class this last week.  Most of the printed stuff in this one was done using SU's MDS.  (even the printed paper)

More shopping, more visitng, more shopping and more crafting.......ah yes....lovin' every minute!

Enjoy your day!

Photo Saturday - a black and white snow scene from Grand Mesa.

Shopping, visiting, shopping, crafting, shopping........life is good!

Have a great day!

The card - butterflies are from Hero Arts.  Sentiment is $1 stamp from Michael's.  Colors are white and bashful blue.

We're supposed to be leaving on a road trip this morning - but it doesn't look so good - snow, snow and more snow.  Guess I'll wait to hear from Deb since she's driving.  Maybe it will stop soon......

Have a wonderful day!

The card - flower is from SU.  Sentiment is one of those dollar stamps from Michael's.  Paper is My Minds' Eye.  Pleated ribbon is from SU. 

Holy cow - I didn't know that it was supposed to snow today!  Looks like winter out there - and just when I thought spring was on it's way.  Hope it stops before I have to go to town for a haircut :)

Enjoy your day.
