Photo Saturday - a photo Jeff took up on the Monument this last week.

Good day to stay in and try to get some household chores done - it's dreary and raining.  I've got plenty to do to keep me busy, that's for sure!

Have a great day!

The card - flower stamp is from Penny Black.  I inked the stamp with markers, then stamped it three times without re-inking.  Colors are cameo coral, olive and white.

Well, the garage is about as tidy as it's going to get.  I think I really need to get rid of some more stuff, but it's ok for now.  Today I need to get some laundry done and do a couple of errands.  Looking forward to Friday night crafting!

Have a great day!

The card - some grunge stuff - background stamps are from Paper Trey Ink.  Colors are kraft, smoky slate and tangelo.

Have no idea what possessed me yesterday, but I decided it was time to straighten up the garage.  I had tubs of Christmas stuff that never quite made it all the way to where they belonged, plus some other stuff that never quite got put away.  Of course, it has turned into more than just a one-day job, so I am going to try and finish that up today!

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Colors are cantaloupe, kraft and white.

No idea what I'm doing today.  I probably should start thinking about class projects for next month and maybe I can motivate myself to do that today.....hmmm....or not!  There's so many things that I need to do I really need to just pick one and do it!

Have a great day!

The card - scribble circles are from Paper Trey Ink.  I stamped them in black and then colored them with copic markers.  Just something a little different :)

I'm off to do some errands today.  Running out of some essential items (like toilet paper) that I need to get stocked up on.  After that I will need to get the classroom cleaned up for tonight's class.

Yesterday's background embossing folder was from Darice (no idea what the name of it is)

Have a great day!

The card - flower image is from SU.   I love this new flower stamp - it's actually three stamps and you layer it to get all the shading effects - pretty cool.   The colors are black, white and blackberry.

I'm going to try and get some stuff cleaned up around here today.  Since I spent most of the weekend stamping (and I got quite a lot done too!) I need to get some things straightened up and get myself organized for the coming week.

Have a terrific day!

Project Sunday - A jar wrapper that I made for a birthday gift.

Not sure what the plan is for the day - meaning I don't really have a plan!  But I'm thinking I might get some more stamping done.  We'll see....

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - from the Arches near Moab, Utah

The Good Time Girls are coming today - oh yay!  It will be a fun and hopefully, productive day!  I'm hoping to get a lot of stamping done.

Have a great day!

The card - a Penny Black flower, inked with markers, stamped on a piece of patterned paper from 7 Gypsies.  Easy!

I'm going to try and get some chores done today - somehow I thought I'd get more done this week since I had a fairly free week  - hmmm, didn't happen.  The week is almost over and I really haven't accomplished much of anything - how the heck did that happen?  Oh well, there's always next week!  Looking forward to Friday night crafting tonight.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - leaves are from Paper Trey Ink, flower is 3 different flower stamps/punches from SU.  Each flower layer is stamped, punched out and then popped up on top of the larger layer.  Colors are  meadow and honey.

I had such a good time yesterday.  We had a great lunch, did some shopping (Judy watched me spend money) and just generally had a great day.  Thanks Judy for a fantastic day (and we didn't even get into any trouble :)  Now today I suppose I should try to accomplish something - not sure what, but I'll try to figure out something.  (I'm more in the mood to have another fun day!)

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU - same flower as yesterday.  I used part of the flower stamp to make the 'greenery' at the bottom.

And we're off on an adventure today - Judy S and I are going to lunch in Delta and see what we can find in the Delta/Montrose area.   It's been too long since we've had a day to play, so we're going to make the most of it.  Looking forward to a fun day!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  I love this new flower stamp!  Colors are mossy meadow and cantaloupe.

It's been crazy busy for the last couple of weeks and now all of a sudden I have some extra time.....and I didn't make a plan.  Oh oh, I don't do so well when I don't have a plan.  I know there's lots of chores and such I want to get done, but for the life of me I can't remember what they were.  Hmmm....guess I'll go with the flow today - maybe I'll do some more stamping.....or maybe I'll do some stitching.....or maybe I'll go for a drive and take some photos.

Have a terrific day!

The card - flower is from Penny Black.  I inked the stamp with markers - colors are primrose and olive.  The 'Hello' is a die cut from Elizabeth Craft Designs.

Time to get some chores done around here - the most important one being the laundry.  Hopefully I can multi-task and get the classroom ready for tonight's class too!

Have a wonderful day!

Project Sunday - a table runner that I made for a Christmas gift

Off to breakfast this morning with my friend Eileen.  Then we're coming back to get some stitching done!  Hopefully it will be another productive day!

Enjoy your day!

Photo Saturday - from Rocky Mountain National Park

Aww....a whole day with no commitments....hmmm....oh my, what to do!   Actually I think I shall spend the day stamping.....about time, huh?  That's my plan anyway, so hopefully I can be motivated and creative!

Have a terrific day!

My favorite from December........  Now I am done with my favorites from 2014 - I think that means I had better get some stamping done in the next few days!

Going to a movie this afternoon and then we have Friday night crafting tonight.  Sounds like a good day to me!

Have a great day.

One of my favorites from November......

I'm getting to the end of the year showing you my favorites, I think that means I need to get some stamping done :)   Not sure I'm going to get to it today but real soon!   I do need to go get the classroom set up for class tonight and then figure out what is next on the agenda.

Have a great day!

My favorite card from October......I love fall, especially the colors so I think that's what I liked about this card.

I need to get some things done around here this morning, but then I have a wool applique class this afternoon and after that I will need to get home and get ready for class here.  A full day!

Have a great day!

My favorite card from September - all the stamped images are from SU.

Class this morning and again tonight - that means I have to go get the classroom cleaned up.  I also ran out of ink in the printer last night, so after class I have to go get that so I can finish printing some stuff for the class kits.  It's going to be a busy day.

Have a terrific day!

My favorite card from August - can't go wrong with black and white :) 

Play time is over......now it's time to get to work.  But, oh my, we've had such a fun weekend - so sorry to see it end!!!!  But, since card classes start tomorrow I really need to get the kits cut and bagged.  That's the job for today!

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - an applique project I made for a Christmas gift.  The applique pieces are all wool, but the background on this one is linen.

And we're off for a full day of stitching today - it's Black Sheep Sunday!  It will be fun!  And don't forget  - Go Broncos!

Have a great day.

Photo Saturday - Ouray, Colorado  If you've never been to Ouray when they have the man-made ice for the ice climbers, you really should go.  It is an awesome sight to behold.  This weekend is the big ice climbing events in Ouray, so if you want something to do, go to Ouray - it will be worth it!

We're having fun here in Grand Junction because our friend Sherry is here visiting.  We got lots of stitching and visiting done last night - we stayed up rather late too!  Tonight we're celebrating Christmas and Deb and Emily's birthdays.  So, while Sherry is off visiting another friend for a while I need to get some noodles made and some gifts wrapped.  Fun!  I love weekends like this!

Have a great day!

My favorite card from July.  I love those background stamps and still use them a lot!

Our friend Sherry will be arriving today - yay!  We have such a fun weekend planned.  But, first I need to go to the grocery store and get a few things done around the house before she gets here.  Looking forward to Friday night crafting!

Have a great day!

Hmmm.....this is the only card I posted in June so I guess it would be my favorite from that month?  I do like it though, it's a fun one!

Cleaning up my mess from yesterday this morning.  Then I need to get ready for an afternoon of stitching at our Wool Gatherer's Club.  Tonight is our Shoebox Club and we'll be celebrating Deb's birthday.  That means that immediately after Wool Gatherer's I need to come home and get dinner started.  It will be a full, but fun day!

Have a terrific day!

One of my favorite cards from May.  An old background stamp, some die cut leaves and some prima flowers - can't get much easier, but I liked the way it came together.

Playing catch up today - have to go to the grocery store and finish up some birthday gifts.  I have a feeling those two things will take me most of the day.

Have a wonderful day!

This card is one of my favorites from April.  I've used this flower/punch from SU a lot since I got it.  (and I will probably use it a lot more too!)  The strips are washi tape - another of my favorite things!

I think I have my class projects under control, which means they are mostly done.  Still have one more project to figure out and some cutting and bagging to do, but hopefully that will get done in the next few days.  Now I have to get the mess cleaned up in the classroom so I can do class tonight!

Have a terrific day!

The card - my favorite card from March.  The background is from SU, stamped with smoky slate on smoky slate card stock.  

I got completely sidetracked from working on class projects yesterday - go figure.  Now it's getting down to the wire, class is tomorrow night, so I better concentrate today and get the projects done :)

Have a great day!

In case you're wondering........I haven't  gotten any stamping done recently, so what you are going to see for a few days are some of my favorite cards from the past year.  This is my favorite one from February 2014.    (stamped images are from SU, colors are kraft and white)

I didn't sleep well last night, so I ended up going back to bed this morning after I had originally gotten up.  So, here it is almost 10 o'clock and I'm barely getting my day started.  I need to work on some class stuff today, so I guess I should try to get started on that :)

Have a wonderful day.

Photo Saturday - Jeff took this nice winter scene up on the Monument last week.  

Time to get some work done - really need to get some class projects done.  Hopefully I can find some creativity somewhere today!

Have a great day!

The card - re-posting my favorite card from January 2014.  The stamped image is from Hero Arts.  The colors are navy and white.

I hope everyone has been enjoying the holiday season! Now that the celebrating is pretty much over I'm ready for spring.....brrr....it's way too cold.    Not a lot happening today - I'm taking a break from any kind of work today :)   But I'm looking forward to our Friday night crafting!

Have a wonderful day!

Wishing you peace, love and happiness in the New Year!
