Project Sunday - I was quite productive yesterday - finished this table runner, plus had a wonderful day with the Good Time Girls.  

Not sure what direction my day is going......don't feel terribly ambitious.  Maybe I can at least get some weeds taken care of.......

Have a great day!

The card - this is the card I did for our Shoebox Club last week.  The flower and leaf die cut are from SU.  The circle is punched out of the background piece and then the background piece is popped up with the patterned paper attached flat to the card front..  Colors are white and baja.

A trip to the grocery store and then maybe I can get a bit more sewing done.  Looking forward to Friday night crafting :)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Colors are smoky slate, white and tangelo.

A little of this and a little of that is what my day is going to be.  Need to do some class stuff this morning, go take some pictures for my cousin this afternoon meet Deb for dinner at Munchies in Fruita (my favorite hamburger place) and then come back for class tonight.  Looks like I have enough to keep me busy today :)

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Colors are sahara sand, lagoon and tangelo.  The butterflies are stamped, then die cut and then popped up on the card.


Well, I didn't get anything done yesterday that I thought I was going to do - go figure.  (that actually happens to me a lot)  I ended up going shopping - well, looking, anyway - I didn't buy anything.  I think I was just restless and wanted to be outside in the beautiful sunshine!  It was a gorgeous day.  Now I think I better stay home today and get some of that birthday stuff done :)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - some background grunge stamps from Paper Trey Ink plus an added sentiment. - pretty darn easy!

Not sure what I'm doing today.  I have several birthdays coming up so I probably should work on some stuff for that - so maybe it will be a sewing day.  Or I guess I could go out and deal with some weeds that are popping up in the yard with this warm spring weather.  Hmmm...decisions, decisions.

Have a great day!

The card - a super simple one.  Die cut butterfly from SU and an added sentiment.

Not sure how I've managed to make a mess in several rooms but I need to get them cleaned up today.  I guess I better work on the classroom  first since I have a class tonight :)

Have a wonderful day!

Misc Sunday - ahh.....I actually had on a pair of flip flops yesterday afternoon - love this weather!!!!

Going to my cousin's for a homemade breakfast this morning - she's a wonderful cook, I can hardly wait!  Then I'm going to try and get some more stamping done today before I clean up the mess :)

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from Paper Trey Ink.   The swirls are just stamped randomly with a variety of colors.  Just a little fun and funky!

Tonight is our Shoebox Club and of course I don't have my project done yet!  So, that's my priority this morning, then I have to go get a haircut this afternoon.   Another busy day.

Haven't quite decided what I'm doing today.  I probably should do some laundry and there's always household chores that need to be done.  We'll see!  I'm looking forward to Friday night crafting though - always a highlight in my week :)

Have a great day!

Snow!  Yuk!  We have had such a mild winter (and I've so been enjoying it!)  Temps in the 50's is really not a normal winter for us.  But it was nice while it lasted.  Now there's enough snow on the ground this morning that I will have to go out and shovel the sidewalks soon.

Have a wonderful day!

Photo Saturday - I finally found some time to take a drive last weekend, so had a nice afternoon driving over the Colorado National Monument and taking some photos. 

Going to lunch with a friend from out of town today.  We always end up having really long lunches, so I probably won't be too motivated to do much of anything else today - but that's ok.

Have a great day!

Friday, February 13, 2015

The card - easy peasy!  The hearts are punched out of printed paper.  The sentiment is stamped on a flagged strip and popped up!
