The card - everything on this card was printed in SU's MDS.  Sherry did this card at our last stamp club and I really liked it but don't have the stamp set yet.  (it's ordered though :)  So I decided to try to replicate it with MDS.  Worked pretty good!   I printed the background on kraft, the flowers on vanilla, then cut out the flowers and popped up the small ones.   

Happy

Mother's

Day

Photo Saturday - after the rain comes the rainblow.  I took this on Easter night - it was too bad I didn't have a nice big wide-angle lens because it went all the way across - pretty awesome.

It's been a long and busy week - I'm feeling the need for a little down time.  Maybe some stampin' for fun today!

Have a fabulous day!

Back to work on class projects today - it seems my creativity wasn't in very good working order yesterday - I mostly stared at paper and moved it around a lot!  Not good!

Have a great day!

Why is it so hard to get rid of clothes?  Good grief!  I have a closet full of stuff I haven't worn for a very long time, but I can't convince myself that I might not want to wear that really cool shirt I've had for 15 years some day........ after I lose 20 lbs, of course.  Ok, today I am going to be ruthless......


Enjoy your day!

Have a great day!

Thanks to my techie friend I think the whole picture thing is fixed now.  Whew!    I really need to focus this week and get some things done.  I have a whole week free - no commitments  - and that doesn't happen very often.  Household chores, class projects, I have quite the list of things to do!

Have a wonderful day.

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Colors are espresso, riding hood red and white.   (I really need to get some more 'projects' and scrapbook pages done to post on Sundays:)

Still thinking about cleaning house - but thinking about it is as far as I've gotten.  Somehow it just doesn't sound like fun.  Maybe I can motivate myself to get started today - or not!  I did get some stamping done yesterday so the day wasn't a total loss.

Enjoy your day!

A note:  The picture of the card doesn't seem to be showing up on the published post - I have no idea what the problem is - sorry 'bout that!

Whoa, when I said yesterday that I needed some sunshine, I should have said I needed sunshine and no wind!  Holy cow - I thought we were going to get blown into Kansas yesterday (I think some of the shingles from my roof probably ended up there!)  It was not nice.   Hopefully today will be better. 

A couple of errands today and then class tonight.

Enjoy your day!

The card - flower image is from SU, sentiment is A Muse.  Colors are concord and pear.

Oh, spring, spring, wherefore art thou?   It's supposed to be windy and cloudy again today - yuk!  I need to see some sunshine!    Also need to get things cleaned up and organized for class tonight.  But I do have a lunch date with a friend today so that will be a nice break.

Have a fabulous day!
