Project Sunday  - this wool applique was a bit outside my box, but the square shape plus the black and pink was just calling me!

I did get some stamping done yesterday, but not nearly enough.  Judy S is coming over this afternoon so hopefully that will keep me motivated and I will be more productive today :)

Enjoy your day!

Photo Saturday - I had what I thought was this big huge weed in my yard that I just never got around to chopping down....turned out it was a sunflower, so I was glad I never got around to chopping it down:)

I need to focus!  Have to get some stamping done this weekend.........

Enjoy your day!

The card - flower stamp is from SU.  Colors are gumball, raspberry and midnight. 

I need to get some stamping done, but also need to get back to work on the guest book thing....um....maybe I can do a bit of both today. 

Have a wonderful day!

The card - one more flip flop card ....flip flops are from Imaginisce, senitment is from Deadbea designs.  Colors are gumball, daffodil and raspberry.

Have a wonderful day!

Project Sunday - I worked hard all day yesterday and  finally got my smash book all caught up!  Now if I can just keep it up........

A Good Time Girls day today..... I'm going to try and get my smash book caught up and then I need to get serious about the wedding guest book I need to get put together.

The chevron die I used on yesterday's card is from Die-Namics.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - using those new chevron dies again.....a simple black and white card.

I have a whole list of errands to do today.....then it will be time for some Friday night craftin' with Deb...yay! 

Enjoy your day!

The card - flowers are from B Line Designs, sentiment is SU.  Colors are wisteria and pear.

Really need to get some yard work done this morning.  The weeds are multiplying in the driveway way too fast!  So, I will get those taken care of and then I can move on to something a little more enjoyable!

Sue, I had to laugh at the comment you left yesterday..... when I was a kid we called those 'thongs' too!  Then 'thongs' became a kind of underwear and now the shoes are flip flops. 

Have a wonderful day!

The card - just a fun one today....this is the card I did for our Shoebox Club last week.  The flip flops are from Imaginisce and the sentiment is from Deadbeat designs. 

Sure am glad I got my work all done yesterday...woo hoo!  Now, today I can have a little fun.  Judy S and I are going to breakfast, a little (very little) shopping and then some crafting time.   At some point I do need to get things put together for class tonight though. 

Enjoy your day!

The card - butterflies are from Hero Arts, sentiment is from SU.  Colors are indigo, limeade and pool party. 

I got a little side-tracked yesterday and didn't get all my work done...oops!  The priority today is getting the kits cut for class tonight :) 

To answer questions from the last couple of posts:  the flowers from yesterday's card are in SU's set called Field Flowers.  And a question from Sunday's post - I get a lot of my patterns for the wool applique I do from our local quilt shop, but I also order on-line.  A lot of the mats I do come from a company called Primitive Gatherings.  The pattern for the oval mat pictured on Sunday was in a book called Autumn Gatherings.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - flowers are from SU.  Brick wall is Tim Holtz embossing folder, fence is a Martha Stewart punch.  I stamped the stems on the panel, inked the inside of the folder and then embossed.  The flowers and the leaf on the right are cut out and popped up.

It's time to get class kits cut and bagged so that is my goal for the day.   Hopefully I can get some errands done this afternoon too.

Have a wonderful day!

Project Sunday -  this is a table mat that I made for Sherry for her birthday...this one was done on a dark brown background.

Today - a repeat of yesterday..... working on digital stuff this morning, then Judy S is coming over this afternoon for some stitchin' time! 

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - a stormy sunset from last week.

I'm going to work on some digital scrapbooking this morning.  Still have some wedding stuff to do and I've been waiting for SU's new upgrade to their MDS program.  It came out this week and I haven't taken time to play with it yet...so, I'm going to work on that this morning and then do some stitching later.

Enjoy your day!

The card - not much stamping on this one.  Flower is a die cut...I embossed the pieces, sponged the edges and then layered them.  Sentiment is from SU.   Colors are pear and daffodil.

I have no clue what I'm doing today.....I'm thinking it should be something fun.......

Have a great day!

Have a great day!

Today is going to be a stamping day!  I got another section of the yard done yesterday...yay!  So I'm taking a break from the yard work today (it rained last night anyway, so it's too wet to do anything outside) and I'm planning on spending the day in my stamp room. 

Enjoy your day!

Photo Saturday.....Colorado National Monument

More yard work this morning....if it's not raining that is.  The weather report says rain, which would be good, but you never know if it's actually going to happen.  So, we'll see.  A rainy day would be a good day to get some stamping done:)

Have a fabulous day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Senitment is from Hero Arts.  Colors are midnight, raspberry, gumball and daffodil.

I spent two days stamping and then the last two days stitching, so I think it's time to get myself out of the house for a bit...... I'm going to run some errands this morning and then I need to figure out what my schedule is going to be for this week.

Have a wonderful day!

Project Sunday - something besides a table mat :)  I took this flower pattern and used it to make a pillow for my living room. 

Not sure what I'm doing today....I did some stitching yesterday, but that was about it.  So, I guess today I better get the laundry done and figure out what needs to be done for the coming week.

Enjoy your day!

I'm not feeling terribly ambitious this morning....um...maybe it's time for a day of r & r.... or maybe I could at least get started on the laundry :)

Have a great day!

I actually got some stamping done yesterday......now that I'm on a roll I'm hoping I can get some more done today :)

The card - background stamp is from Hero Arts, flower is from SU.  Hadn't used this SU stamp for a long time, decided it was time!  The background newsprint stamp is stamped with kraft.  The floral stamp was inked with markers and stamped on top of the background.  I added some spoltches and diestressed the edges.  Just something a little different from my usual! Colors are espresso, daffodil and vanilla.

Today has just got to be a stamping day!  The last two times I had planned on stamping I never got to it......so, I'm way behind and running out of cards to post.  So, hopefully I can stick with the plan today :)

Have a wonderful day.

The card -a quick and easy one... stamped images (from SU) added to an embossing folder.  Colors are white, pear and razzleberry.

We are celebrating our friend Sherry's birthday tonight.....fun!....that means I need to get moving and make noodles and then clean up the huge mess I made yesterday.  (I did get a lot accomplished, but somehow I sure managed to leave a mess in every room :)

Um....not sure what I'm doing today.   Not sure how I ended up with a free day.......but I'm sure I can find something to do.  We do have Shoebox Club tonight, but Deb and Alison are teaching us how to make ornaments, so I don't have to come up with a project - yay!

Have a great day!

I thought I was going to get a little more yard work done this morning but......we finally got some much needed rain yesterday...woo hoo!   It's still a little too wet to work in the yard so I guess I will get to work cutting class kits this morning.  Going to the quilt store for some stitchin' time this afternoon.

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - a photo from our trip to Rifle Falls a couple weeks ago.  I was worried that with the water shortage we are experiencing that the falls would just be a trickle, but they were awesome!

I'm  trying to talk myself into going out and getting some yard work done today.......um.....need to do a little more talking.......

Have a wonderful day!

Project Sunday - a small (12") candle mat - most of my projects have been done on a black background, but as you can see that doesn't always have to be the case - this one is done on off-white with an added layer of dark red.

I must get this week's class project done ..... that's my goal for this morning.  Then Judy S is coming this afternoon for some stamping time......aw....maybe a productive day...finally!

Enjoy your day!
