The card - has anyone been stamping long enough that they remember this stamp from SU? It's pretty darn old - but I still think it's rather 'cute' so I decided I should use it on a card.

I have errands to do today then our regular Friday night get-together tonight. Hopefully I can be productive and not just social! What a concept.

Have a great day!

The card - nice and simple - flower is from Vintae Vogue (SU) . Color is Bermuda bay.
OK - where did my creativity go? Or maybe it's just I've lost my motivation this week. I couldn't even decide on a card layout to do yesterday - dang! Maybe today!
Have a fabulous day!

The card - a guy thing - had to play with some new stamps from Stampers Anonomous (Tim Holtz) A pretty simple layout. The car is cut out and popped up.

I have no clue what I'm going to do today. It seems like I had a plan, but I don't remember what it was - oh well, I'm sure I'll find something to keep me busy. (or not!)

Have a wonderful day.

The card - super simple layout - colors are chocolate and riding hood red. Flower is from Vintage Vogue (SU), stamped in chocolate, cut out and popped up.

Didn't get much of anything accomplished yesterday - I think my friends passed on whatever cold/sinus thing they have going on. I spent most of the day sleeping on the sofa. So, that means I must get my Shoe box project done before our get together tonight.

Have a wonderful day.

Enjoy your day!

Photo Saturday - this is another picture that Tracy took while she was in Buma - this was one of my favorites.

Too much fun yesterday - lunch, shopping, and a lot of laughs! It was a great day! Not sure what I'm doing today - Linda and I had planned a day trip to Rifle Falls to take some pictures but decided to postpone that trip because the forecast is calling for snow. Dang! So.......maybe some stamping today - I have a few new stamps I can play with.

Hope your weekend is off to a wonderful start!

The card - stamp is from For All You Do (SU) - colors are basic grey, durango and saffron. I loved the look of this color combination when I saw it on someone's blog - just wanted to give it a try.

I'm trying to decide whether to work on class projects today or clean house - it's a toss-up - so I guess I'll see what I'm in the mood for after I've had a bit more caffieine.

Have a wonderful day.

The card - stamps are from Vintage Vogue (SU) Colors are vanilla, kraft, suede and not quite navy.

More snow? Holy Cow! I was just beginning to be able to see the gravel in the driveway and the grass on the lawn again. Now it's a blanket of white again. Geez! Isn't it time for spring now???? Well, Ok, I know it's January and I live in Colorado, but still......... Have no idea what my plans are for the day - guess I really don't have any yet. I might just spend the day watching soap operas and eating bon bons - oh wait - I don't like soap operas and I have no bon bons! Dang! Guess I will have to come up with with a better plan.

Have a great day!

Wednesday, January 27, 2010



The card - stamp is Upsy Daisy (SU) I stamped the full image and then used a punch to to get the seperate squares. Colors are white and bermuda bay.

I kept getting side-tracked yesterday and didn't quite get all my work done that I had planned. So, today I need to get the kits cut and bagged for class tonight. But, hopefully I can get that done this morning so I can do a couple of errands this afternoon.

Have a great day!

Tuesday, January 26, 2010



The card - something a little different today - this is a hybrid card. Yep, I did part of this card on the computer using MDS (My Digital Studio) from SU. The kraft piece with the white medallion stamp is the part I did on the computer. I actually printed 2 of them and punched out the inner circle so I could pop it up. I cut the piece to the size I wanted and layered it on soft suede and then on a white card. I stamped the Happy Birthday (Papertrey) and added the ribbon and the pearl.

Need to get myself organized today - have to cut and bag kits for tomorrow night's class, plus get set up for class tonight.

Happy stampin'

Monday, January 25, 2010

The card - a little bit of Valentine's today. This one is kind of traditional - colors are riding hood red and white. I used the Vintage wheel on the white piece. Hearts are die cuts.

Need to get some paper work done this morning - yuk! Not my favorite thing, but a necessity. Then I think I will get started on Tracy's 'save the date' cards. I need to come up with some prototypes so she can decide what she wants.

Happy stampin'

Sunday, January 24, 2010



Scrappin' Sunday - this was a layout we did in scrap class and I just added some fun pictures from Thanksgiving.

I'm planning another day of holing up in my stamp room - I think it's time to get started on some Valentine cards. (that's after I clean up the 'creative mess' I made yesterday)

Hope you are having a fabulous weekend.

Saturday, January 23, 2010

Photo Saturday - my daughter Tracy just returned from a trip to Burma (which, in her words was 'oh so amazing') She sent me some pictures yesterday via e-mail and I just wanted to share this one with you.

Yesterday was a real scrappin' marathon for me - 10 hours of fun, food and great company and......I got 6 two-page layouts done! Yea! Loved it - I can hardly wait for the next one in February.

Scrappin' Sunday - a blast from the past. This is a layout I did with some pictures from when I closed the store. (can't believe it's been 2 1/2 years!) The background layout is one we did in scrap class and I just added the pictures.

Deb is coming to stamp this afternoon - a good thing for me! I desperately need to get some cards done - haven't really done much stamping for the last month. So, hopefully I will be inspired and get lots done.

Hope you are having a great weekend!
