Copied this card right out of the SU catalog. Easy enough!
Judy came over yesterday and we spent the afternoon stamping. I was pretty productive and it was a great afternoon.
Back to my paper mess today. Can't leave it all over the tables forever so I will see what I can do with it today. Sherry is coming over tonight so I will be able to take a break and get some more fun stamping time.
Enjoy your day!
More Verve flowers. Not my usual color combo either, but I'm trying my best to get out of my rut.
Worked on sorting paper yesterday - oh my, what a job. I have paper everywhere. I know I want to put seasonal stuff together, but how the heck do you sort the rest? Do I store it by company? by color? This job is going to take me awhile - good thing I don't have another class for a few days - the tables are covered with paper - and more paper.
I'm hoping Judy S is coming to stamp this afternoon so I can forget about the paper mess for awhile and do something fun.
Enjoy your day!
Here's the title page I did for my 2006 album. Now all I have to do is get the pages sorted and put in the album. Yea!
Leslie is coming today to make up a class project - while she is working on that I'm hoping to get some paper sorted. I have a ton of stuff I've bought at different stores and it's all just piled in drawers. So, I figure if I get it sorted I might know what I have and be able to use it! What a concept.
Happy scrappin'
A scrapbook page today. I'm trying to use up some of my paper stash (and there is a LOT of it) I think this is some Christmas paper I bought when Kim and I were in Las Vegas a year ago.
Have to finish up my project for Shoebox Club tonight, water the lawn and do a couple of errands. Not a very exciting day, but club tonight will be fun - it always is!
Happy scrappin'
I liked the layout for this card a lot! The white flowers are embossed.
Yesterday's CTMH party was great fun. Dorene did some awesome cards and I have a LOT of new stuff coming to play with.
We have our Shoebox Club tomorrow night and I still don't have my project done - guess that will be my priority for today.
Happy stampin'
A very simple scrapbook page. (I use that word simple a lot, don't I?) But......that seems to be my thing so I just go with it.
I must, I must, I must! get something done today. Yesterday was another day spent staring at a pile of paper and not knowing what to do with it. I'm thinking I shall leave that project and move on to something else for awhile.
Hope your weekend is off to a great start!
A photo day. This is sunrise yesterday morning. (that's Mount Garfield at the bottom of the picture) I have tons of sunset pictures but this is one of the few sunrise photos that I managed to catch at just the right time.
Had thought of doing yard work today but I guess that was just a fleeting thought as it rained again last night and it's too wet to be digging around outside this morning. Guess I will try to get some work done on a class project. I sort of slacked off yesterday and didn't get much done, so maybe I will make up for it today.
Have a wonderful day - enjoy the cool, fall weather this morning.
A pretty simple card. The background flowers are stamped with bleach. Nothing exciting for me today - just paper work and cleaning up the messes I made over the weekend. (did you notice that mess was plural - I seem to have made several and the cleaning fairy did not appear all weekend - darn her!) So........
Have a great day!
Another card with the cute Verve flower. I really like this kraft, red and brown color combination.
Slept in a bit this morning. That doesn't happen too often - but we were up long after my bedtime last night. I didn't get tons done, but I finished the pictures from 2006. Woo hoo - another year is finished. I'm hoping to get the title page done today, and then I will have another year of photos ready to go in an album!
Hope you are having a fantastic weekend!
A simple layout - took the idea from a Becky Higgin's book. These are some of the pictures from the evening Judy D and I spent walking up and down Main Street.
Not sure what my plans are for today. I've lost my spurt of ambition. Bretina and Lauren are coming to scrap tonight, so I will work on some more pages. Didn't really get much accomplished last night. Hopefully I will get more done tonight.
Hope you are having a wonderful weekend.
Are you ready for this? No ribbon, no brads, no layers! Oh my - I guess you can make a card without those things - I don't do that very often.
Fall is in the air - very cool this morning.
Errands today - class tonight. Probably won't have time for anything fun. (well, class will be fun, it always is!)
Happy stampin'
A happy Labor Day to you! I really like this Upsy Daisy stamp from SU. Lots of fun things you can do with it.
I scrapbooked all day again yesterday. Since Friday night I've gotten 11 layouts done. (that's 2-page spreads) I'm almost done with 2007 - just have to do a title page and an ending page and I can put that whole scrapbook together. Yea! It's been forever since I actually had a whole year put together.
Alas, today I must return to the real world of getting ready for a class, laundry and other domestic chores. Darn! And I was on such a roll!
Hope you are having a great holiday weekend.
Good morning! This card was done with another of my new stamps from SU - it's called Pocket Silhouettes. Lots of fun things to do with this one.
Had a great time with Sherry last night - it made up for my totally crappy day! I got almost 2 layouts done last night - just have to finish one up today. My plan is to spend most of the weekend scrapping - so hopefully I will be able to get several more layouts done. That's my goal anyway.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Isn't this just the cutest butterfly? This is another of the Verve stamps I got.
I was on such a roll yesterday - got several class projects done! Yea! That creative spurt caused quite a mess so today I guess I will have to re-group and get things cleaned up a bit. (can't see the top of the tables either upstairs or downstairs - yep, quite a mess!) Sherry is coming to play tonight so we must have a clear table top somewhere to work on.
Enjoy your day!
Another new stamp to play with. This is one of SU's new stamps. I've had a lot of fun with this one.
A little slow this morning - didn't get enough sleep last night. Between the crickets, the lightening and thunder and then the electircity going off I didn't get to sleep until after 2 am. Ugh - I just might have to take a nap this afternoon.
A morning of errands today then I am going to try and get some more work done on class projects. I have one almost finished - yea! Then class tonight.
Have a wonderful day!
Something a little different. I scored the lines at an angle on this card - thought it looked kind of cool.
I've pretty much spent the last three days making cards - had a lot of fun playing with new stamps. So, as soon as I get pictures taken I will be able to share them with you. Now I need to get to work on some class projects. Just waiting for some new paper to arrive - hopefully today.
Can you believe this is the last week of August? Good grief, where did the summer go?
Enjoy your day!
Just another "pretty" card.
I got several cards done yesterday and Deb is coming over today so I should get even more done. I should have plenty to post in the coming days. It's been fun playing with the new stuff! Now I just need to take the time to get some pictures scrapbooked.
Have a wonderful Sunday.
Out of my comfort zone with this color, but, heck, I'm willing to try! This is one of SU's new in-colors - Pacific Point. (the darker blue - the light one is Bashful Blue)
Fun with Deb & Sherry last night, but more fun than productive - I only got 2 cards done.
Have a family thing at my cousin's to attend tonight and that will be fun.
Hope your weekend is off to a great start!
Happy stampin'
A little elegance today. Just thought it was pretty.More yard work today. I did make quite a dent in the weeds yesterday so while I'm on a roll..........
Deb & Sherry are coming to play tonight so I must get my stamp room cleaned up too - oh my - it's a mess! I have new stamps to play with - my order from SU stamp club and I ordered some stamps on-line ( don't do that very often) So I have plenty to keep me motivated for a while.
Enjoy your day!
Another simple card that could be used for most any occasion. This is one of the new in-colors from SU.
I had orginally planned to do yard work today but....... I didn't quite finish with my list of jobs yesterday. So, I'm going to work on getting some odds and ends done today and mark those off my list. Then I can move on to yard work tomorrow.
Happy stampin'
A little bit of summer - I'm really trying to get out of my "color rut". I seem to end up using the same colors all the time, so tried for something a little different with this card. Not sure what I'm doing today - have lots to do, just not sure where to start. I do have to prepare for class tonight so I guess that will be my first priority.
Have a wonderful day!
Here's another card with this new SU stamp. I ordered this stamp at club and I'm looking forward to playing with it some more when the order comes.
Still haven't gotten my yard work done - I was such a slacker yesterday - just never got motivated enough to do much of anything. Now I'm thinking it will wait til tomorrow. I think Deb is coming over this afternoon so I will get some more stampin time. (way more fun than yard work!)
Hope you're having a wonderful weekend!
This is one of the cards I did Sunday during our stamping marathon. Deb let me borrow this new stamp from SU - I love it! The grass is stamped on the background, then I embossed the flower with white. I'm really liking these silhouette stamps.
I am not feeling terribly ambitious today which is not good. I have a class tonight that I need to prepare for and I have to get my house cleaned because I have some guests coming tomorrow. So, I guess I better get started. Ugh!
Happy stampin'
A quick and easy birthday card. Yesterday turned into one of "those" Monday's and I didn't get done what I should have. Will have to play catch-up today.
The best part of the day was stamp club with Deb last night - great cards as usual - thanks Deb! I will have lots of new goodies to play with - I got a little carried away with my order.
I am off to get ready for class this morning (preparation was one of the things I didn't get done yesterday)
Happy stampin'
An easy card today, but a nice layout that can be used with a lot of different colors and stamps.
It's a little cooler outside this morning - hope it stays that way for a while since I have yard work to do today.
Deb came over yesterday and we spent the entire afternoon and evening stamping. What fun! It was a very productive day for both of us and now I have projects to post all week. Yea!
Have a wonderful day!
Photo Day! I took this photo on Main Street when Judy and I were down there taking pictures of the art. (the flower pictures actually came out better than the "art") I slept in this morning - Bretina kept me up way past my bedtime last night - but I had a great time and finished 2 layouts that I was pleased with! Yea!
Today I need to get class kits ready for classes that start this week. Not exciting, but a necessity.
Hope you are enjoying your weekend!
This is one of the layouts we did in Scrap Class last month. I still need to find pictures (or take some) for the other one. Farmer's Market was fun last night - I especially enjoyed the Toffee Lover's icecream from Enstrom's!!!!
Need to get some stuff cleaned up and organized today - getting together with Deb, Sherry, Emily and Roni to play tonight. Yea!
Happy scrappin'
Simple black & white card today. Swiss dots embossing and Penny Black "flying stars" stamp.Dare I say I had another birthday dinner last night? Kim took me to dinner at Texas Roadhouse - one of my favorite places but one I don't get to often. We've had trouble with our schedules meshing and it was so great to catch up! And she made me the cutest stationery box - Thank you Kim!!! It was awesome. OK - that's it for the birthday stuff - I think it's over now. Dang, turning old isn't so bad when you have such wonderful friends!
A birthday lunch today (NOT for me this time!) We're taking Bretina to lunch for her birthday. Then Judy and I are going to Farmer's Market downtown tonight. A full day - but fun!
Happy Stampin'
I'm a little late posting this morning - I got sidetracked looking at some new pictures that Tracy had posted of her adventures at Yosemite. There was a video of her running off of a mountain and swinging on this rope - kind of scary for a mother to watch. But, man, it looked like fun!
Simple card today - another one with kraft and soft sky.
After working in the yard for about 6 hours yesterday I'm taking a break from yard work today except for doing some watering. Think I may spend some time in the stamp room - after I clean up the mess I made the other day!
Have a great day!
Green flowers? I know, you're surprised huh? My friends know that I rank green flowers right up there with red and green snowflakes. But.....the card is pretty. I was copying, as usual, and just didn't bother to change the colors. I thought the green and black was rather striking. So........I may have to try this again with some other colors. The image was stamped in green and then I used a black pen to go over the stem lines.
Off to do yard work this morning, clean up the class area this afternoon and then class tonight. Busy day.
Enjoy your day!
A simple (only 2 layers) card today. Love that new Penny Black stamp but I need to figure out some more layouts to use it with. After yesterday's multi-layer card I thought I'd tone it down a bit today!
I will be spending the day working on class stuff - still have to finish the projects for tomorrow night's class.
Hope you are having a great weekend.
