Tried a little bit of a different color combo with this card. (chocolate, mustard & sage) Not sure it's one of my favorites, but I like the layout. Think I'll have to try this one again. The flower stamp is from Close To My Heart.
Have to get the basement cleaned up today. I sort of dumped some stuff down there when I was de-cluttering upstairs - so now that area is a mess and needs to be tidied up.
Enjoy your day!
A layout with pictures from Rocky Mountain National Park.
Hope your weekend is off to a great start!
Another card using SU's pocket silhouettes. All three squares are embossed. Very simple and easy.
Not sure what my plans are for the day. Thought I would work in the yard (yep, I've been putting that off all week!) but not sure the weather is going to co-operate. Guess I will just go with the flow.
Have a great day!
I really like the color combo in this printed paper from SU - sage, mustard, chocolate and rust. The squares are cut from the printed paper. I used the leaf stamp from an old SU set - Best Blossoms - inked the leaves with the same color markers and stamped off for the image behind the Happy Birthday. The background leaves are embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder.
Good Monday morning! Hope you all had a great weekend.
I used one of my new Close to My Heart stamps for this card. I inked the flower with More Mustard then used a sponge dauber to add some Rust on the edges to give it a two-toned look. Printed paper is from SU.
Yesterday was a nice, relaxing day - lunch and then football - made even better when the Broncos pulled it off and won.
I have classes back to back this week, starting tonight. Have projects done, but nothing is cut and bagged so that will keep me busy for the next few days.
Happy stampin'
The image on this card is from Verve. Simple and easy.
Got my pages done yesterday for class tomorrow night! Yea! Now I just have to cut and bag. Will do that tomorrow because today I am taking a break. My in-laws are coming for lunch and football this afternoon. I hope the Bronocs play better today than they did last week.
Hope you are having a great weekend.
Go Broncos!
A touch of fall. Tree stamp is from Inkadinkado. I inked the image with brown, then removed the ink from the leaves with a blender pen, then colored the leaves with a rust marker.
I have Scrapbook class on Monday night and I still have no idea what we're going to do. I am really hoping that inspiration strikes today and I can get those projects done.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Dug out some very old stuff for this card - the leaf is embossed with some emsbossing powder that I bought at a stamp show several years ago - I only seem to use it in the fall, but it sure looks pretty for leaves. Three different background stamps on the orange (tangerine), red (riding hood red) and brown (chocolate). Easy!
Spent all day yesterday working on class projects and managed to get the Christmas cards done for class next week. Yea!
Went to a SU party at Kim C's last night. Sherry was the demonstrator - great cards - great food! Thanks Kim & Sherry!
Deb is coming to play today - fun! I am going to be teaching some classes at Carol's new store in Delta so I may work on class projects for that today.
Have a great day!
I used one of my new Close To My Heart stamps for this card. The background is embossed with the Cuttlebug leaf embossing folder. Copied the layout from Deb!
Judy and I had quite a day in Delta yesterday. Carol Jones is opening a new Scrapbook store in Delta (she will be open beginning Friday) and we spent the day helping her get her product out of the boxes and on display. Whew - forgot what a job that can be. I was wiped out by the time I got home last night! But it was rather fun too! And of course we got to eat lunch at our favorite place - Davito's - Yum!
Have a wonderful day.
Happy Stampin'
Old stamps - new colors. This is a very old stamp from Stampendous that I found in my "leaf drawer". Thought I'd give it a try. Not bad. Used new SU colors Tangerine and Kiwi and good ol' chocolate. The background stamp I used on the green is another "old one" from River City Rubber Works.
Judy S and I are traveling to Delta/Montrose today. Should be fun.
Happy stampin'
A little bit of fall. A mixture of stamps from Verve and Gelatins. SU colors Burgundy, Kraft, Rust and Hunter.
Deb came over yesterday and we spent a very productive afternoon stamping. I got quite a few cards done - yea!
I have classes starting next week that I don't even have the projects done for, so guess what I will be doing this week.
Happy stampin'
Just a few layers on this one. Verve stamp set - scallop rectangle is made with Nestabilities - Soft Sky, Baha Breeze and Chocolate - swiss dots embossing folder.
Deb is coming over to stamp this afternoon and I'm hoping to get some fall cards done. Have a lot of new Close To My Heart stamps to play with.
Go Broncos!
I love fall! Love the colors, love the weather. 
This is a layout I did with pictures I took last winter of Dewey Bridge. Down in the bottom right corner I used a picture I got from the web and did a little update about the fire that destroyed the bridge after these pictures were taken.
I had good intentions of getting yard work done yesterday, but somehow that never happened. I got started on a birthday present I needed to get done and it ended up taking most of the day. But, the birthday present is done and I just need to get it mailed today. Yea!
Have a wonderful day!
A layout from Jeff's graduation. Found the CSU stickers at a store in Denver and was glad I had them to use on this page.
Since I have a class tonight I guess I need to get back to sorting the paper that is still all over the tables downstairs. Sort of left that project unfinished. Oops! Looks like that will be my project for the day.
Happy scrappin'
Inspired by Nature - one of SU's new stamp sets and one I've used before. Am I getting in a rut with the red and brown thing now? I do like those colors together.
Enjoyed my day of fun yesterday - it was made even better since the Broncos won, but my goodness that was tense. I was worn out by the end of the game.
Lots to do this week and I'm trying to figure out where to start today. Laundry, more yard work, paper work, etc. Gee, nothing fun in there, so it's going to be a hard decision.
Enjoy your day!
A layout from my Mom's Memorial Service.
The yard work did me in yesterday - boy am I stiff and sore this morning. Guess I over did it a bit. Oh well, I'm taking a break today - my inlaws are coming over for lunch and then we will watch the Bronco game. Yea! It's actually the first game I will be able to watch so I'm looking foward to it.
Go Broncos!!!!
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.
