The card - leaf stamp is from Papertrey, sentiment is Hero Arts.  Butterfly is SU die.  Colors are perfect plum and white.  (not sure why it looks so dark but the butterfly is perfect plum)

I really, really, really need to get some yard work done today - I kept getting sidetracked yesterday and never got to it.  So that's my plan for this morning at least!

Have a great day!

The card - not a lot of stamping on this one.  Flower is a die cut from Papertrey.  Sentiment is Hero Arts.  Colors are basic grey, white and saffron.

I'm hoping I might be able to get a little yard work done today - we'll see how well the weather cooperates.  (it's supposed to be really windy today!) 

Enjoy your day!

For Linda:  the flower die from Papertrey is Beautiful Blooms II  #1.

The card - flowers and butterfly are both from Hero Arts.  I stamped and colored the flowers, then inked the brick embossing folder before running the stamped piece thru my cuttlebug.  The butterfly is cut out and popped up on top.  Card is kraft, mat is black. 

Oh my, it looks like we are going to have a nice, sun shiny day today!  Woo hoo!   I had thought I'd be able to do some yard work this morning, but didn't expect it to rain more last night.  Guess I will have to let it dry out for a day or two so I won't be playing in the mud!  But that's ok, I'm just going to enjoy the sunshine!

Have a great day!

The card - floral stamps are from SU.  Colors are rose red, wasabi, black and white.

I was quite productive yesterday - now if I can just keep the momentum going.  Although I think I need to clean up the mess I made before I start on anything else.  Also need to get things together for class tonight.  Here's hoping for another productive day!

Have a great day!

The card - not a lot of stamping here.  Sentiment is from Hero Arts.  Butterfly is SU die cut.  Colors are razzleberry and vanilla.

Didn't get much of anything done yesterday so I'm hoping I can get myself motivated to actually accomplish something today.  Maybe the weather will cooperate long enough to get at least a little yard work done.   If not, I have plenty of household chores that need to be done:)

Enjoy your day!

The card - stamps are from Unity.  Colors are white and amethyst.

Not sure what my plans are for the day - kind of depends on the weather.  If it doesn't rain maybe I can get a little yard work done.  Otherwise I may try to get some stamping done! 

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - forecast - cloudy and more rain!

Feeling a little wiped out after having a tooth pulled yesterday (I'm a wimp!)  Don't plan on doing much today!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped image is from Hero Arts, flower is die cut from Papertrey.  Colors are eggplant, marina mist and pear.

Have to go to the dentist today and get a tooth pulled - ugh - doesn't sound like fun for sure!

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!

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!

The card - stamp is from Hero Arts - colored with copics.  Sentiment is A Muse.

Taking a break from yard work today.  It's my son Jeff's birthday, so I'm cooking dinner (yep, chicken & noodles).  

Have a wonderful 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!

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 - stamped images are from SU.  Butterflies are pirouette pink, florish is pear.  Simple, but rather elegant.

Tonight is our Shoebox Club and, as usual, I don't have a clue what my project is going to be.  Looks like I better get to work on that!

Have a great day!

The card - can't remember what company this rose stamp is from.  Script background is Stampabilities.  Colors are basic grey, pretty in pink and white.

Need to get the rest of the class kits bagged and do a couple of errands today.  Ugh, nasty wind this morning - hope it calms down a bit before I have to go out to do my errands.

Have a wonderful 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.

Snow?  What's up with that? -  just another spring day in Colorado I suppose.   Guess it's a good day to stay indoors and get some stamping done!

Enjoy your day!

Enjoy your day!

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!

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.

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!

Enjoy your day!
