Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Colors are white, pear, poppy and peach.

Rain, rain, go away!  Enough already.  I'm ready for some sunshine!  Doesn't look like we're going to see any sunshine again today though - just more rain.  Ugh!  Guess I'll just try to ignore the weather, get stuff together for my class tonight and maybe get some stamping done.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped image is from Unity.  Colors are white and pretty in pink. 

Gosh, are we ever going to see sunshine again?   Not this week, according to the weather report.  At this rate it's going to be June before the rest of my rose bushes get trimmed.   Guess I should use the time wisely and get some 'indoor' stuff done.

Enjoy your day!

Tuesday, May 17, 2011



The card - another one with the same set as yesterday (from SU)  Colors are navy, white and celery.

The weather is messing with my plan for the week!  Doesn't look like I'm going to get much yard work done for the next few days.  Doesn't really hurt my feelings, but I still have a lot of rose bushes that need to be trimmed!  Oh well, I guess they'll get done eventually.  I guess it's a good time to get started on some wedding invite samples!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - flower stamps are from SU, sentiment is Hero Arts.  Colors are pacific point and wild wasabi.  (this is a new set from SU that I just got and I'm having a lot of fun with it!)

I had planned on getting back to the yard work today - however the weather report does not look good for the entire coming week.  Not good!  I need to come up with an alternate plan I guess.  I do need to get things together for my class tonight.

Have a fabulous day!

Photo Saturday - flowers, flowers and more flowers!

Spent a lot of time at nurseries yesterday - I love looking at all the flowers.  Got what I needed, even got the patio flowers planted.  Now I need to do the planters in the front and I will be good to go! 

Have a great day!

Friday, May 13, 2011


The card - stamped images are from SU - colors are black, white and marina mist.


Note to all:  I did post yesterday and it was up for awhile, but there is a problem with Blogger - not sure if my missing post will reappear or not!   Hence the late post today too.

Just on a little break from 'flower shopping'.  Trying to get my flowers for the patio and front planters - not sure if I'll have enough energy left to plant them today, but I will be ready to go tomorrow for sure!

Have a great day!

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.

Enjoy your day!

Enjoy your day!

Since I have spent most of the last two days doing nothing but laying on the sofa I think it's time I tried to get some work done today.  I figure doing some stamping shouldn't be too taxing :)

I actually had to break down and go to the Dr yesterday - seems I have a sinus thing going on and an infection in my glands (the right side of my face is all swollen)  Yuk!  Now I have a whole bottle of little green pills to take.  Oh, what fun. 

Have a great day!

I kept getting sidetracked yesterday and didn't quite get everything done I had planned - guess I better try to stay focused today and finish my chores.  The rain last night took care of one job though - don't think I'll have to water the lawn today :) 

Enjoy your day!

Scrappin' Sunday  - a simple layout - a start on the wedding album.  There's going to be a lot of simple layouts in this album - too many pictures to do anything else.


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

Enjoy your day.

Saturday, April 16, 2011



Photo Saturday - signs of spring.  I love it when the trees are full of blossoms.  Think we've been lucky this year that the wind didn't blow them all away before this.

Crop day - the Good Time Girls are coming - yea!  I plan on getting started on Tracy's wedding album.

Have a fabulous day!

Enjoy your day!

It's supposed to be sunny and a bit warmer today so I think I might try to get outside and deal with some weeds before they take over the driveway.  Looking forward to Stamp Club with Deb tonight!

Enjoy your day!

The card - the colors on this card are a little 'out of the box' for me, but I just love this ribbon so........colors are daffodil, melon and pacific point.  The stamped images (from SU) are actually builder wheel stamps.  Since I don't have the wheels for these I removed them from the wheel, mounted them on EZ mount and use them with clear blocks just like the cling stamps. 

Have some sewing projects to get done and errands to run today.  Class tonight.

Enjoy your day!

Scrappin' Sunday - a layout with pictures from a trip to Denver last summer.   The background is one we did in scrap class, I just added the pictures.

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!

Saturday, April 2, 2011



Photo Saturday -   The sun coming up in the east, highlighting part of the Monument in the west.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - flower is from SU, sentiment is from Papertry.  Colors are kraft, pear and white.

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!
