Have errands to do this morning - just a couple of last minute items for dinner tomorrow.  Then it's time to get some housework done.  Looking forward to a day of fun, food and great company tomorrow. 

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped word image is from Hero Arts.  The leaf is punched out of some Tim Holtz paper, sprayed with some water and wadded up.  Colors are kraft, espresso and vanilla.

Working on class projects today.  I thought I was so far ahead there for awhile, now it seems there's a whole lot of class projects that need to be done all at the same time - how did that happen?  

Enjoy your day!

The card - images are from SU.  The saying was printed on the computer using SU's MDS.  The leaf was stamped on vanilla using espresso and then I sponged some mustard on it.  Leaf embossing folder on the background is from Hobby Lobby.  Colors are suede, espresso and vanilla.

Oh my, the beginning of another week! and Thanksgiving week at that!  I'm losing time here....not a good thing.  Still trying to figure out this new computer - getting there, but it's definitely a process.  Need to get things cleaned up and organized downstairs and get ready for class tonight.  It's going to be a busy week!

Have a wonderful day.

The card - a very simple one today.  This is a matching stamp and embossing folder.  I stamped the image with kraft (on kraft paper) and then lined it up in the embossing folder - rather a cool effect.  I did discover it is a bit bigger so in order to have a top layer to wrap my ribbon around I had to make this a 5 x 7 card.

Going to try for a stamping day  - I'm feeling a little discombomulated with all the out of the ordinary things that have been going on around here - I think I need a day to do something ordinary and hopefully  be productive at the same time :)

Enjoy your day!

Photo Saturday - this is one of my favorite photos from the wedding.  Jeff's best man bought them this cool tandem cruiser bike for a wedding gift. 

Crop day today with the Good Time Girls.  Yay!  I'm hoping to get most of the wedding guest book finished today. 

Have a great day!

The card -  stamps are from SU.  I inked the stamp with kraft, then sponged some dusty durango here and there before stamping.  Colors are kraft, durango and vanilla.

I apologize for the late post today - my computer was dead this morning.  And I do mean dead.  So, my son & I have spent the day trying to get this new one set up.  Wow - what a time consuming process.  I still have lots to do and figure out, but I'm at least making some progress with it.  My son has gone home so now I'm on my own - we'll see how that works out! 

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped image is from SU.  Colors are kraft, cajun, mustard and not quite navy.

Errands this morning and then I need to get things ready for my class tonight. 

Enjoy your day!

The card - not much stamping here.  Sentiment is from CTMH.  Colors are cajun, olive, kraft and mustard.  I sprayed the die cut leaves with water, then wadded them up to give them a little more texture.

Need to work on some class stuff today.  And do some laundry......and pick up some of the mess that somehow has spread to almost every room in the house (not sure how that happens).

Have a great day!

The card - leaves are from Hero Arts.  Flower is a die cut, center is a McGill punch.  Colors are olive, espresso and mustard.

Making progress on my 'to do list' for this week.  Yay!  Now if I can just keep the momentum going!

Enjoy the day!

I have a long list of things I want to get done this week so I guess I better decide what to start with and get to it.

Have a wonderful day!

 He never ceases to amaze me!  This is my son Jeff in his Halloween costume.  He looked online and found a picture of the outfit he wanted from Star Wars, and with only a picture to go by, went to the store and purchased the material and then proceeded to sew up this costume.  How cool is that?  (I certainly could not have done it - I have to have a pattern and step by step instructions for anything like that!)   I forgot to ask him how he managed to make his hair and beard gray - it's normally light brown. 

Aw....what to do today.......  not sure.  Probably should do some laundry.   Will probably watch some football (and hope for the best for the Broncos!)  Maybe get some stamping done.   Can you tell I don't really have a plan for the day?

Enjoy your day!

Photo Saturday - more fall color from Red Mountain Pass.

A stamping day today - Judy S is coming over and we have plans to get a lot of stamping done!  Yes!  Life is good!

Enjoy your day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  I inked the background leaves with artichoke and then sponged a bit of mustard on top before stamping.  The card is mustard, circle is vanilla and background newsprint is from SU. (didn't notice the crooked ribbon until I posted this - not sure how that happened)

A little plug today for some friends - if you are local and haven't been to Seasons to Follow you need to check it out!  It's a locally owned shop on Main Street (just east of 6th St).  It's my favorite place to shop for gifts and things for my house.  Now they are  adding some scrapbooking/card making classes and supplies to the store.  Michelle Hahn is teaching classes and doing crops.  They have a very small amount of supplies, but I managed to find some very cool paper and embellishments to buy.  So, go check it out. 

It's been a long and busy week and I am so looking forward to a fun and relaxing stamping evening with my friends tonight!

Enjoy your day!

The card - banner pieces are from SU.  Colors are wisteria, limeade and pool party.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - mostly pretty paper here - used some old Bo-bunny stuff from my stash.  (I really need to start using more!)  Stamped images on the label are from SU.

Have several projects I need to work on so maybe I can get myself organized enough today to get started on one of them.  Have a few errands I need to do before class tonight too. 

Enjoy your day

The card - stamped image is from SU.  I inked the stamped with a variety of markers using colors from the patterned paper.  

Class this morning and again tonight.  A couple of errands in between (and maybe even a nap since I woke up way too early this morning!) 

Enjoy the day!

The card - leaves are from Stampa Rose, (colored with Copics), sentiment is A Muse.  Card is kraft.

Making some chili today, doing some laundry and finishing up class stuff that I never got around to yesterday.  Guess that's enough to keep me busy.

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - this is a class project we did this last week.  Next month we will do a winter themed one.  It fits in a 12 x 12 frame. 

Not sure what my plans are for the day.  Still have to finish up a couple of things for class so I probably should concentrate on that! 

Have a great day!

Back to work on class projects.  I think I know what I'm going to do, now I just have to figure out the how.   It's a good day to be inside anyway since it's chilly and wet from last night's rain.

Enjoy your day!

This week's class projects are all done and ready - yea!  Now it's time to get to work on projects for next week's classes.  I just can't believe it's the first of November - time is going by much too fast!

Have a great day!

Mystical, magical

scary or frightful......

Hope your Halloween

will be just delightful!

Project Sunday - this is the calendar topper I did for our Shoebox club a few weeks ago.  The stamps are all from Unity.  I stamped the leaves and pumpkins and then cut them out. 

This morning I am going to work on getting a class project cut and ready for class this week.  Then I will be able to relax and have some fun stamping time with Judy S this afternoon.

Enjoy your day!

Photo Saturday - aw, finally! some wedding pictures.  The photographer put a few of the photos on her blog so I thought I would share.  I'm so anxious to see the rest!  It was such a fun day!

The card - stamped image is from SU.  I inked the stamp with markers using colors to match the strips of paper.  Colors are melon, punpkin, daffodil, olive and pacific point.  Card is black with a white mat. 

Got a little side-tracked yesterday from my original plan - decided it was time to put the summer clothes and flip flops away (boohoo!) so I ended up cleaning out my closet.  Now I need to get back to some regular cleaning today.   (and that is how I end up turning a one-day project into a two-day project :)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - tree image is from Inkadinkado.  Sentiment is Hero Arts.  Small embossed piece was done with folder from Hobby Lobby.  Background paper is from a pad of Tim Holtz paper. 

Today's plans are a little up in the air.  After spending the entire day yesterday in my stamp room I'm thinking I need to do something a little more physical today - maybe I can convince myself to get my house cleaned up - or not - guess I'll figure it out after a little more caffeine. 

Have a great day!

The card - tree is from SU.  I stamped the tree with cajun craze, then colored the trunk with suede.  Colors are white, cajun and suede.  The greeting was stamped before I embossed the panel.

I think it's been raining all night - my driveway is a big lake - at this point it looks like I might need to build an ark to get out - good thing I did my errands yesterday!  It's a good day to spend in my stamp room! (cleaning up will be first on the agenda - I've made quite the mess the last few days!)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped images are from Stamps by Judith.  A simple layout, but dang, those pumpkins are just too cute.  Card is tangerine, black and white.  Pumpkins are colored with copics. 

Need to get some stamping done today - after I clean off my table that is.  The whole room needs a bit of cleaning up and re-organizing, but that will probably be a job for another day.  For today I will settle for enough clean space to get some cards done.

Enjoy your day!

The card - stamped images are from Technique Tuesday.  Colors are kraft, cherry, white and espresso. 

Time to do the last of the fall cleanup in the yard - last day to water the lawn and I guess it's time to pull out the flowers since it's supposed to freeze this week.  Ugh - not ready for it to be that cold! 

Have a wonderful day.

Scrappin' Sunday - Here's a page from Jeff & Sara's guest book.  The page is 8 x 8 with a 4 x 6 photo. 

Had a great trip to Delta yesterday -  found way too much that I just had to have, but I'm excited about my new goodies.  Now I just need to get motivated to sit down and do something with all this stuff!

Enjoy the day!

Photo Saturday - I have a feeling the roses won't be so pretty for much longer.  It's supposed to get down to freezing temps next week. 

Taking a trip to Delta today with Judy S - I need to pick up some paper at The Scrappy Moose.  Looking forward to a fun day!

Enjoy your day.

The card - tree is from SU.  I inked the stamp with suede, then sponged a bit of espresso here and there before stamping.  Embossing folder is from Hobby Lobby.  Card and mats are vanilla.

Have a great day!

Need to get myself organized today.  Have a lot that needs to be done in the next week or so and I need to figure out where to start.  The movie yesterday was a fun break - we went to see Footloose - great music and I loved the dancing! 

Enjoy your day!

The card - stamped image and embossing folder are from SU.  Colors are tangerine and suede.

Yard work done - check;  laundry done - check;  house clean - uh...well, two out of three is good enough for me.  I'll get some paper work done this morning and then Judy S and I are going to the movie this afternoon.  It will be a nice break!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - tree is from SU.  I inked the stamp with more mustard, then sponged some cajun onto the stamp here and there.  After I stamped the image I colored the tree trunk with suede.

I am, I really am, going to do some yard work today.  As soon as it warms up a bit.....kind of chilly out there this morning.

Have a grea day!

The card - something a little different - just some squares of patterned paper arranged on the card at an angle.  I embossed the piece after adding the squares. 

I had planned on actually getting out and doing some yard work  today - guess that's not going to work out since it's raining.  Guess I'll go to plan B ........whatever that is.

Enjoy your day!

The card -  I made this one a 6 x 6 card.  Don't make those very often, but it just seemed to work for this one.  The leaf is a die cut, I sprayed it with a bit of water, wadded it up and then sponged a little color on it.  Some strips of paper and a little lace and a sentiment - easy!

Not sure what I'm doing today.  It's the first day in well over a week that I haven't had a committment of some sort.  There's plenty I could do, and plenty of things I probably should do, but.......we'll see.  Guess I'll just go with the flow.

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - a little more fall color from Red Mountain Pass.

A crop day today with the Good Time Girls.  I think I'm going to get started on Jeff & Sara's guest book.  Then we're celebrating Bob's (Judy S' husband) birthday tonight - luckily I got the noodles made yesterday so I will be good to go after cropping all day! 

Have a fabulous day!

The card - stamped image is from Inkadinkado, colored with copics.  Background is embossing folder from Hobby Lobby.  Colors are espresso and tangerine. 

Wow, it's been a long week.  I'm not feeling very ambitious today.  But I do need to do some household chores and go to the grocery.  Looking forward to a relaxing, fun evening stamping with Deb tonight.

Enjoy your day!

The card - stamped image is from SU.  Card is white, layered with printed paper  from Reminisce.

I need to finish up my calendar topper for our Shoebox Club tonight and do a couple of errands today.  Never did get around to the yard work yesterday - maybe today - or tomorrow - or next week.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - flower image and printed paper are from SU.  The stem is stamped on the printed paper, flowers are stamped on vanilla, cut out and popped up.  Colors are espresso, kraft and mustard.

As soon as it warms up a bit I need to get out and deal with some weeds in the yard.  But before that I guess I should see what I can come up with for a calendar topper that I need to have done before tomorrow night.  Switching gears again - it needs to be spring - um - from fall to Christmas and now I need to think spring - this might be a bit of a challenge!

Have a great day!

The card - lots of little squares - The squares are 3/4", stamped with leaves from Papertrey.  The sentiment is from SU.  Colors are Garden Green, wasabi, saffron, peach, and tangerine. 

Had a great time last night - Deb did some awesome cards (as usual!)  It was a nice break for me.  Now it's back to work - class this morning and then again tonight.  Maybe a nap in between :)

Enjoy your day!

The card - another funky stamp from Stamps by Judith.  Just added a little coloring.  Sentiment is from SU. 

Ahhh....almost done with class cards - the cards are done and the kits are cut, just need to get them bagged.  Yay!  Looking forward to a SU workshop with Deb tonight.

Have a super day!

Check out these cool socks that my friend Deb brought me - how fun is that!  I'm hoping that they might bring some  good luck today - the Broncos need all the 'help' they can get these days!!!  (the socks were actually matching pairs - I just decided to mix & match and put on one of each!)

Making some progress on the class cards finally -  I'm planning on getting them finished this morning and then doing some 'fun stamping'  this afternoon with Judy S.

Have a wonderful day!
