The card - found a pile of paint swatches in a drawer when I was looking for something and decided I might as well use one....remember using these?  The flowers are from SU, embossed in white on the paint swatch.  Sentiment is from Savvy Stamps. 

I decided my main focus this week would be to get my class projects done....so, that's what I'm working on.

Have a great day!

The card - leaves are from SU, sentiment is from A Muse.  Colors are artichoke, cajun, kraft and vanilla.

As soon as I figure out what I'm doing today I will get busy doing it :)  It's a pretty free week for me so I really want to take advantage of the time and get some things accomplished.  Just not sure where to start........

Have a great day!

The card - floral stamp is from SU, sentiment is from Hero Arts.  Colors are cajun and white.

Wow, I slept in a bit today, that's pretty unusual for me!  I'm hoping my body is getting ready for the time change in a couple of weeks :)   I did get some stamping done yesterday, although not as much as I would have liked.  But, heck, anything is better than nothing, right?  Now I need to figure out what to work on today!  There's plenty to choose from, that's for sure!

Have a great day!

The card - stamped image is from SU.  The brick embossing folder is a new one I got at Hobby Lobby - I had been wanting one that went sideways instead of up and down and couldn't pass it up when I saw it!  Colors are black & white.

Have a lot of things Iwant to get done in the next few days.  Guess I'll just pick one today and get started!

Have a great day!

The card - flower is from Bo-Bonny, sentiment is from Hampton Art.  Colors are kraft, vanilla and black.

Somehow the things I have intended to do the last few days just haven't gotten done.....I keep getting side-tracked and it doesn't seem like I have really accomplished much.  Never got around to doing my errands yesterday so I guess I should get those done today .... and since I have class tonight I need to get stuff set up for that....... and just maybe I can can focus and get some other chores done :)

Have a great day!

The card - just some printed paper, a die cut leaf and a sentiment (from Printworks).  The panel on the right is a sepearate piece and is popped up. 

Have a couple of errands to do today,  and then I really need to start thinking about some class projects for next month. 

Have a wonderful day!

Project Sunday - this is a small applique piece that I just finished.  It's in a 5 x 7 frame.

Not sure what I'm doing today.....I do need to make a trip to the grocery store at some point, but other than that I have no plans.  Maybe some stitchin', maybe some stamping, maybe just an r & r day!

Have a great day!

Enjoy your day!

The card - playing with a new die - got this hexagon die (from Die-namics) on our trip last month so I had to see what I could do with it.  Kind of fun......just scraps of paper and a sentiment.

Went to see the movie 'Here Comes the Boom" yesterday.....go see it if you can....it was a great 'feel good' movie....very funny! 

Have no clue what I'm going to do today....need to figure that out I guess.  I will have to get ready for class tonight at some point. 

Have a wonderful day!

Finishing up some projects this morning and then Judy S and I are going to the movie this afternoon.  That will be a nice break!

Have a great day!

I actually got some stamping done yesterday - woo hoo!  Now I just have to take pictures of the cards I did :)  Today Deb and I will be doing some stitchin' while her car is in the shop.  Sounds like a good day to me!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - really liked this layout, but think I might like it better with different paper.  (or maybe just a different background piece!)  I will have to try this one again :)

Not sure which direction my day is going..... haven't quite recovered from my 'busy week' yet I guess.  I think I may just do some stamping....after all, my room is all cleaned up and we can't leave it like that, right?

Enjoy your day!

Oops - it's another Photo Day - I just realized I hadn't taken any pictures of new projects.......I'll have to get that done before next week :)

Need to finish up some chores this morning, then it's stitchin' time at the quilt store this afternoon.  Then I have company coming for dinner.....it's Judy's husband's birthday today (Happy Birthday Bob!)  so we're doing chicken and noodles tonight.  A full day, but mostly filled with fun stuff :)

Have a great day!

It's time to get some household chores done - laundry would be at the top of that list for sure.  Then I need to head to the grocery store.  Oh yeah, lots of fun stuff today :)

Enjoy your day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  I used SU's postage punch for the squares.  Colors are limeade, black, white and tangerine.  (had to laugh - I glued the square with the ghost on upside down and didn't even notice until now :)

Whew....it's been quite a week.  Now today I find myself with a free day - no commitments, nothing that has to be done.  Lots of things that need to be done though, and I guess I should start with cleaning up my work room...I've made quite the mess the last couple of days.  So, I'll start there and then see what else I can be motivated to do. 

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  I stamped the leaves on a piece of vanilla, then cut it into strips before adhering to the card.  Colors are cajun, cherry cobbler and olive.

Shoebox Club tonight...and I still haven't got my calendar topper done.  I worked on it all day yesterday and couldn't make anything come out right....don't you just hate those days?  So, it's back to work on that today. 

Have a fabulous day!

The card - super simple - just some srtips of paper, a sentiment and a button:)

I've been jumping from season to season lately with Halloween, fall and even Christmas.  Now I've got to think spring and come up with a calendar topper for May for our Shoebox Club tomorrow night....so that's what I'm working on today.

Enjoy your day!

The card - not a lot of stamping here.  Die cut leaves, die cut chevrons and a leaf embossing folder.  I do wish I had crumpled up the leaves, they look a little blah.  Colors are kraft, mustard, cajun and vanilla.

Lots of stuff to get done today so I will be prepared for this week.  Looking forward to our Stamp Club with Deb tonight  - that's always fun!

Enjoy your day!
