The card - stamped images and butterfly die are from SU. The woodgrain background is stamped with smoky slate on smoky slate cardstock. Leaves and flowers are stamped with old olive, eggplant and primrose.
I have a class tonight and I still need to finish one of the projects - oops! Not sure how that happened, but I guess I better get that done.
Have a wonderful day!

The card - flower is from Penny Black. I inked the stamp with markers. The colors are olive and blackberry (the blackberry is much prettier in real life - it didn't photograph very well)
Off for an eye exam first thing this morning. Then I'm having lunch with my cousin. After the fun stuff I need to come home and finish up some class stuff. It will be a busy day.
Have a wonderful day!

Photo Saturday - always love to see the first signs of spring
I love modern technology - when it works. Not so much when there's a problem. Got a call from the bank yesterday saying my on-line bank accounts had been compromised. No money lost or no charges, but it still means I have to go to the bank and deal with having all my accounts changed - yuk! I've had the same checking account number for over 40 years - now that is sad :( So, that's what I will be doing this morning - doesn't that sound like fun? Not!
Have a fun and lovely day!

The card - flower is made with two different flower stamps from SU. They are stamped with primrose, punched out and the top one is popped up. Sentiment is also from SU - stamped with black on banner die cut (also from SU)
Have a couple of errands to do this morning and then I have an appointment to get my car serviced this afternoon. Just another exciting day in my life :) But there's Friday night crafting tonight, so something fun and relaxing to look forward to!
Have a wonderful day!

The card - the butterflies are a SU punch. Sentiment is also from SU. The strips down the side are washi tape - I adhered the washi tape to each side of the card front - the front panel is cut shorter than the card on each side and popped up to leave the washi tape showing.
I got the weeds taken care of yesterday (that was a good thing) so today I think I better work on getting some class projects put together. Here's hoping I can be at least a little creative today :)
Have a great day!

The card - just a lot of butterflies. Butterflies are from SU. stamped in kraft. A couple are stamped, punched out and popped up. The sentiment is stamped, punched out with an oval and popped up.
Have to do a couple of errands this morning, and then I have to attend a funeral service this afternoon. A young man (37) from my late husband's family committed suicide last week. So sad.

A little of this and a little of that is what my day is going to be.

Looks like I have enough to keep me busy today :)
Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU. Colors are sahara sand, lagoon and tangelo. The butterflies are stamped, then die cut and then popped up on the card.
Well, I didn't get anything done yesterday that I thought I was going to do - go figure. (that actually happens to me a lot) I ended up going shopping - well, looking, anyway - I didn't buy anything. I think I was just restless and wanted to be outside in the beautiful sunshine! It was a gorgeous day. Now I think I better stay home today and get some of that birthday stuff done :)
Have a wonderful day!

The card - some background grunge stamps from Paper Trey Ink plus an added sentiment. - pretty darn easy!
Not sure what I'm doing today. I have several birthdays coming up so I probably should work on some stuff for that - so maybe it will be a sewing day. Or I guess I could go out and deal with some weeds that are popping up in the yard with this warm spring weather. Hmmm...decisions, decisions.
Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from Paper Trey Ink. The swirls are just stamped randomly with a variety of colors. Just a little fun and funky!
Tonight is our Shoebox Club and of course I don't have my project done yet! So, that's my priority this morning, then I have to go get a haircut this afternoon. Another busy day.
Have a great day!

Project Sunday - a 'black sheep' needle case I made the other night
And speaking of Black Sheep - that's where I'm off to today - it's Black Sheep Sunday, so in just a bit I will be meeting my friend Eileen for breakfast and then we'll be spending the rest of the day stitching. Yay!
Have a great day!

The card - this is the card I did for our Shoebox Club in February. The flower is from SU. I stamped it twice (with strawberry slush) and then cut the center out of one and popped it up in the center of the main flower. Leaf stamp is from Hero Arts and background stamp is from Kaiser Kraft. The banner piece on the side is made from vellum.
Haven't quite decided what I'm doing today. I probably should do some laundry and there's always household chores that need to be done. We'll see! I'm looking forward to Friday night crafting though - always a highlight in my week :)
Have a great day!

The card - stamped images and butterfly die are all from SU. The background pieces are stamped with smoky slate, except for the leaves which are stamped with pear. The butterfly is black and the sentiment is stamped with black.
I really need to do some errands, but it's going to depend on the weather I guess. No desire to go out in the rain so we'll see what's up with that in a bit.
Have a wonderful day!
