The card - flowers are from SU.  The background is washi tape, except for the border at the top which is a border embossing folder.

I'm going to try my hand at putting a piece of furniture together today.  I ordered a potting bench to put on my patio and it came yesterday ....naturally, Jeff is out of town at the moment so..........  we'll see how it goes.

Have a great day!

The card - flowers are from SU.  The strip across the bottom is washi tape.  Colors are honey and meadow.

It's supposed to be another beautiful day so maybe I'll try to get a little more yard work done today.  I did make some progress yesterday - most of the weeds are gone - yay!

Have a beautiful day!

The card - background is done with grunge stamps from SU.  Butterfly is a SU die cut and sentiment is also from SU.  Colors are lagoon, olive and kraft.

I'm hoping it will be dry enough to get some yard work done today.  The weeds are starting to take over so it will be good if I can at least get started.  Then I will need to get ready for class tonight.

Have a great day!

The card - the background 'music' is strips of washi tape.  The die cut butterfly (from SU) is popped up on top.  A super easy one.

I had thought I'd be able to get started on some yard work today - hmmmm....not to be I guess.  It was still raining until early this morning so everything is way too wet and muddy.   Guess I'll have to wait a day or two.  No idea what I'll do in the mean time - maybe I'll get some more stitching done :)

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - the March  'Project of the Month' finished  (sorry about the not so great picture )

It's still raining, (it started yesterday) so I think it's going to be a good day to stay inside and finish up some stitching and maybe read a book or watch a movie!

Have a wonderful day!

Photo Saturday - a bit more spring showing up in my neighborhood

Today I'm off to all day Open Sew at Hi Fashion.  It means most people will be sewing away on sewing machines, but I will be stitching away on some wool applique.  Works for me :)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - this is a quick and super easy one.  I used an embossing folder with flowers on it, added a sentiment, some prima flowers and a little bling.  Easy and quick!

Since I spent all day yesterday running around doing errands and looking for stuff for the yard I guess I better stay home today and get some other things accomplished.  I need to get some stitching stuff put together for an event I'm going to tomorrow,  Looking forward to Friday night crafting tonight!

Have a terrific day!

The card - I used the balloon die cut and then embossed the die cuts with a dotted embossing folder.  Added the sentiment and some ribbon and drew the balloon strings with a black pen.  Pretty darn easy!

Not sure what I'm doing today.  Have some yard work to do if the weather cooperates (that means the wind needs to stop blowing), still have stitching projects to finish for Laura and I need to start thinking about shopping for pots and dirt and other yard stuff.   Hmmm.....plenty to do, guess we'll see what I'm in the mood for :)

Have a great day!

The card - the flowers are a stamp/punch from SU.  The are stamped in lagoon and popped up on the front panel.  I stamped them twice and cut out the centers, popped the center up and added some bling.  

Have some chores I need to get done today and then I will need to get ready for class tonight.

Have a great day!

Background stamp, sentiment and butterfly diecut are all from SU.  The flagged piece at the bottom is patterned paper, the strip above it is washi tape.  Colors are kraft and tangelo.

Class this morning and again tonight.  Have to go get a haircut in between - and maybe I can talk myself into doing a couple other errands while I'm out and about.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  I stamped the stems and then just added a lot of flowers in a variety of colors.  The sentiment is stamped on a small piece of white, matted with primrose and popped up.

Have some class stuff I need to take care of today and then I need to get the class room cleaned up before class tonight.  (I made a pretty big mess in there yesterday :)

Have a wonderful day!

Project Sunday - here is the 'masterpiece' (hehe) I created last night.  My friends, Eileen and Sue, and I went to a place in town called The Palette.  It was great fun and I had a wonderful time!

I think I'm going to try and get some stamping done today.  It feels like it's been forever, so I'll see if I remember how :)

Have a wonderful day!

Photo Saturday - some spring flowers in my neighborhood

Not sure what I'm doing today.  I need to get some stamping done, but I also need to finish several stitching project samples that Laura needs for market.  Hmmm......guess I'll see what inspires me when I wake up!  Looking forward to a new adventure tonight - going to paint a picture at The Palette with Sue & Eileen.  Should be fun.

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  I punched a circle in the top panel, stamped the leaves in that area on the card front and then attached the panel.  The butterfly is stamped, punched out and popped up.  Colors are olive and blackberry.

Home Sweet Home.  I had an awesome time visiting my daughter Tracy and my friend Sherry, but it's good to be home.  I think I'm just going to take today to regroup - unpack, do a little laundry, etc.  Looking forward to Friday night crafting!

Have a terrific day!

The card - patterned paper, balloon die cut and a birthday sentiment - pretty darn easy.  The die cut and sentiment are from SU.

On my way home today.  Can only hope that the snow and rain they are predicting holds off until I get over the mountains.  Can't delay, have class tonight :)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped flowers are from SU.  Colors are black and honey.

I'm at my friend Sherry's today for just a bit more fun before I head for home.  We're going shopping - wool and stamps!  It's going to be an awesome day I'm sure!

Have a great day!

The card - butterflies are a stamp/punch from SU.  The butterflies are popped up and I added some bling to each one.

On my way back to the Denver area today.  This week has gone by so fast but it has been so good to spend time with Tracy.  Now I'll spend a little more time shopping and stitching with my friend Sherry before I head home.

Have a great day!

The card - more fun with the balloon die cut.  I drew the string with a pen and added a bow with some black string.  The strips of punched paper actually matched the printed paper on the balloon much better in real life :)

Taking Tracy to her Dr's appointment this morning.  We have to pick Tony up at the airport later today and then we'll go out to dinner.  My last day here.....boo hoo!  The week has gone by way too fast!

Have a great day!

Misc Sunday - just a small part of the wool shop we went to yesterday.  It was in a very big, very old house and the owner was ever so nice - she even gave me a tour of the business side of the house (they live in half of it).  They not only do retail, but they have a wholesale side too.  The shop was really awesome and they had the best selection of homespun material I have ever seen (this is a material I like to use for the back of my projects and it's hard to find!!)  Great day!

Today I think we're staying at home and taking a break from shopping and such.

Have a wonderful day.

Photo Saturday - The Life is Good store in Dayton, Ohio.  Oh my.....it was awesome!  AND, there was a Brighton store in the same shopping area - dangerous place, but a very good shopping day!



Today we're going to a wool shop about 45 minutes away.  Could be another dangerous place.....but it's going to be FUN!

Have a terrific day!

The card - super simple one today.  Printed paper. embossed background and a tag with a sentiment.  (all from SU)  Card base is cantaloupe.

And we're off to an outdoor mall in Dayton this afternoon.  Tracy is going to get a massage and I'm going to do some shopping!   Loving this time with my daughter!

Have a wonderful day.

The card - stamped images are from SU.  The background is stamped with smoky slate with some midnight muse and strawberry slush splotches.  The butterflies are stamped then punched out and they are popped up.  

IKEA was great fun yesterday - sure wish we had one of those in my neck of the woods.  (or maybe not!)  Have an end table I need to figure out how to put together this morning and then I have to take Tracy to her dentist appointment.

Have a great day!

The card - more fun balloons.  I just used the die cut and made a group of a variety of colors.  Just fun and simple! 

Trip to Tracy's went well.  Slept like a log last night :)  We're off to IKEA today - love visiting that store - just wish I had room in my suitcase - or maybe that wouldn't be good after all!  Tracy needs some stuff for her house so it's a good place to go!

Have a wonderful day.

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Butterfly and flowers are stamped, punched out and popped up.  Colors are smoky slate and strawberry.

A fun time as always with my friend Sherry.  A little retail therapy, a yummy homemade dinner and some stitching - what more could I ask for.  Now it's time for an early morning flight to Dayton, OH - I'll be seeing Tracy in just a few more hours - yay!

Have a wonderful day!

The card -having fun with a new stamp set and  balloon die from SU. 
Colors are pool party, honey and pear.

And I'm off.......road trip today to the eastern slope to see my friend Sherry.  Then tomorrow she will take me to DIA and I will be flying out to see my daughter Tracy in Dayton, Ohio.  So excited.....it's been almost a year since I've seen her.

Have a terrific day!

Happy Easter everyone!

Photo Saturday - signs of spring in my neighborhood

Off to the grocery store this morning and then it's back to laundry and trying to get things ready for my trip to see my daughter next week!

Have a wonderful day.

The card - stamped images are from SU.  The colors on this card came about because I was trying to match the colors on the washi tape that I had picked up at Office Depot :)  

Have so much stuff to get done in the next two days.......not sure where to start.  But I have Friday night crafting to look forward to tonight, so it's all good!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - butterflies are from SU.  I stamped all three on the panel with black.  Then I stamped another butterfly on another piece of white, colored it with a copic pen, punched it out and popped it up on top.

Another busy day.  Our Wool Gatherer's Club is this afternoon, so more stitching fun for me!  Our Shoebox Club is tonight, but we're celebrating birthdays instead of making cards.
I need to get a couple of things ready for dinner this morning before I leave, so I better get busy.

Have a great day!

The card - a variety of stamps was used for this card - the background 'greenery' is from Hero Arts, the purple flowers are from Paper Trey and the butterflies are from SU.  Colors are old olive and eggplant.

So many things going on this week. :)  Today I have an all-day stitching event which will be fun.  But it will involve some work too, as I have 9 wool applique samples I need to get done for a friend for her to take to market next month.  

Have a wonderful day!
