Photo Saturday - on the Colorado National Monument

I think maybe I better concentrate on actually getting some work done today.  The class stuff needs to be done soon - hmmmm....hopefully I can get motivated to get that accomplished!

Have a great day!

The card - flower is from SU.  Added some speckles to the background of the 'tag' and the sentiment is stamped to the left.  The tag is popped up.  Colors are white and marigold.

Well, yesterday got away from me and I didn't get much of anything done - I did go to the grocery store, but that was it.  Hopefully I can do better today.  But no matter what, I have Friday night crafting to look fowrard to - yay!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped images and butterfly die cut are from SU.  The flower and background image are stamped in smoky slate, leaf is stamped with pear and sentiment is stamped in black.  The strip across the bottom is washi tape.

Time to get started on class projects for March.  It's hard to believe this is the last week of February.  But that means spring is just that much closer!  Yay!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Flowers are stamped with calypso coral, paper accents are black.  

Taking a play day......Judy and I are going to breakfast, then a little shopping, and then we're hoping to get some stamping done.  Should be fun!

Have a fabulous day!

The card - stamped images are all SU.  Colors are blackberry and meadow.  

Need to get the classroom cleaned up before class tonight and I have a few sewing things I would like to get done today.  And it would probably be a good idea to get the laundry put away :)

Have a great day!

The card - just a little splash of color with some grunge stamps from Paper Trey Ink and an added sentiment.  Super easy!

Snow!  Yuk!  We have had such a mild winter (and I've so been enjoying it!)  Temps in the 50's is really not a normal winter for us.  But it was nice while it lasted.  Now there's enough snow on the ground this morning that I will have to go out and shovel the sidewalks soon.

Have a wonderful day!

Project Sunday - a table mat I finished this week.

I'm hoping to work up some motivation today and get some stamping done.   I'm a little droopy this morning, but hopefully I'll liven up here in a while :)

Have a terrific day!

The card - stamped images are from Paper Trey Inc (the name of the set is called Grunge Me).    

Just a note:  If you have a question about a card or stamp set I've used, please send me an e-mail with your question.  There is no good way  to answer your question if you post it in a comment (especially if it is on an old post)   The e-mail address is under the contact me section at the top of the page!  Thank you!

And now I'm off to get the wool room cleaned up and hopefully get a project ready to stitch.  Looking forward to Friday night crafting!

Have a great day.

The card - flowers and sentiment are from SU.  Colors are wisteria and olive.  The strip of embossed paper is smoky slate.

Laundry day and then I need to get ready for class tonight.  Not a terribly busy day.  I'm hoping for a bit of time to maybe get some stamping done.

Have a great day!

The card - super simple one.  Stamped images are from Paper Trey Ink, stamped in a variety of colors.  Added a sentiment - can't get any easier than that!

A free day with no commitments - oh my - haven't had one of those for a while.  But I need to finish up the birthday cards for church so that's going to be my priority for today.

Have a super great day!

The card - stamped images are from Paper Trey Ink.  I stamped the circle scribble shapes in black and then colored them with copics.   Kind of fun and funky!

Time to do some chores and get some cleaning done in the house.  Jeff & Sara and our friend Shelley are coming for dinner so it will be a fun evening.

Have a great day!

The card - flower is from Penny Black.  I inked the stamp with markers.  Colors are white, blackberry bliss and meadow.

I really need to get some birthday cards ready for the church since I never got around to doing that last week.  Also need to make a trip to the grocery store since I invited the children to dinner tomorrow night.  And I need to get the classroom set up for class tonight.  I guess I should have enough to do to keep me busy today!

Have a wonderful day.

Have a wonderful day.

Photo Saturday - I finally found some time to take a drive last weekend, so had a nice afternoon driving over the Colorado National Monument and taking some photos. 

Going to lunch with a friend from out of town today.  We always end up having really long lunches, so I probably won't be too motivated to do much of anything else today - but that's ok.

Have a great day!

Friday, February 13, 2015

The card - easy peasy!  The hearts are punched out of printed paper.  The sentiment is stamped on a flagged strip and popped up!

Winding down to the end of a very busy week.  Need to work on some birthday cards for church - hopefully I can motivate myself to do that today.  If not, there's always tomorrow :)  Looking forward to our regular Friday night crafting!

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from Paper Trey Ink.  Colors are mossy meadow and bliss blue.

Time for our Shoebox Club tonight - and of course, as usual, I don't have a project ready.  Oh oh, guess I better get to work on that.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - lots of washi tape!  The strip with xoxo's is stamped on a strip of white and popped up, and the heart is punched out and popped up.

Have to get a stitching project together this morning for our class this afternoon.  Class tonight.  So, another busy day!

Have a terrific day!

The card - a sentiment with some printed paper and some added ribbon - how easy is that?

Class this morning and again tonight and a couple of things that need to get done in between.  A busy day!

Have a great day!

The card - a super easy one - punched out hearts with a variety of patterned paper,  Colors are riding hood red, kraft and white.  

This is going to be an extremely busy week so I need to get some chores done today and get myself organized.  Looking forward to our Stamp Club with Deb tonight - new stamps - woo hoo!

Have a great day!

Have a wonderful day.

Photo Saturday - on Grand Mesa

I'm hoping to get the class kits put together today and maybe even have time to go for a drive.  We've been having such beautiful weather - more like spring than winter- and I feel the need to get outside and enjoy the sunshine!

Have a terrific day!

Friday, February 6, 2015





The card - lots of washi tape makes this one super easy!

I must concentrate on class projects today - somehow I got totally sidetracked from that this week and time is running out!  So I will work on that today and then relax and enjoy Friday night crafting!

Have a great day!

The card - flowers are from SU.  I sponged the newsprint paper with kraft and the front panel with the flowers is popped up.  

Today is our Wool Gatherer's group and I'm looking forward to an afternoon of stitching with some terrific ladies.

Have a great day!

The card - playing with some new stamps that I got from Paper Trey Ink.  Simple, but fun.  Colors are white, smoky slate and turquoise.

Back to work on class projects today.  I did get the scrapbook pages done for class last night, now it's time to get the cards done for classes that start next week.

Have a wonderful day!

The card -stamped images are from SU.  Colors are calypso coral and old olive.  The oval is popped up.

Not sure where my creativity was yesterday, but it certainly wasn't around here.  Now I'm down to the wire - have to get projects done before class tonight - guess I better get to it!

Have a great day!

Monday, February 2, 2015

The card - time for a little Valentine's stuff.  This is a super easy one - I stamped some spoltches (from SU) in the background and then added some punched out hearts in two different sizes.  Easy!

Time to figure out class projects for this month.  Have to go to a Dr's appointment this morning, but then I will be spending the rest of the day trying to be creative.

Have a wonderful day!

Project Sunday - this is the first project in a Block of the Month that I am doing.  

Have to finish getting my house cleaned up this morning.  I have some friends coming for lunch that I haven't seen in probably 30 years.  Oh my, how time flies!  I'm looking forward to a fun afternoon!

Have a great day!
