I'm back! Brrr! It's cold! Oh my, it was so nice to spend several days wearing t-shirts and flip flops! (the picture is sunset at Huntington Beach)
My cousin Marleen has some of the nicest friends that I've had the pleasure to meet on several occasions and it was great to see them again! Spending time with my cousins in California is always great fun and this trip was no different! So, it was a wonderful weekend all the way around!
Now, back to real life.
One more card from Stamp Club. Roni used one of my favorite color combos on this one. Chocolate and red - and she added some pink. This is a 5 1/4 " square card. I keep saying I'm going to do some square cards and then I end up with same ol' size. Hopefully this will remind me to think outside the box a little more often!
This is another card from Stamp Club with Roni. I really liked this card, even though this Pacific Point blue has really not been one of my favorite colors. But Roni did a great job with this color combination and layout! (the green is Kiwi)Let's see - today is Saturday (I hope that's the day this is posting) The plan is to do something laid back - we've talked about hanging out in downtown Huntington Beach. Dinner at my cousin Marleen's tonight. Hopefully I will have some great beach pictures after today!
Hope you are having a great weekend!
Tonight is the wedding (my cousin Marleen's son, Geoffrey, is the one getting married). This is the wedding card I made to enclose with the gift. (sorry the picture isn't the best). White on white - are you surprised?
Have no idea what we're doing during the day today. It will be Jeff & Sarah and I for most of the day - Tracy and Tony will be arriving later this afternoon.
Enjoy your day!
This is a card I did a while back. (I really have to get some new cards done - I'm running low, but haven't had time to stamp for fun!) I really liked these colors together - River rock, chocolate and Blue bayou. Stamps are from SU. I used SU's Sanded background on the river rock.
We leave tomorrow for California - yea! Got an e-mail from my cousin saying it was 85 degrees there yesterday! Oh man, I can hardly wait! Warm weather - I can hardly remember what it feels like. Gotta dig those flip flops out!
Today - take the car in for some repair work. Do laundry. Pack! And I have class tonight. A full day. And just so you don't miss me too much I will get some drafts done that should post while I am gone (if I do it right!)
Enjoy your day!
An easy Valentine card - good for a guy. I used an old SU set for this one called Dream Come True. Colors are chocolate and vanilla.
Class this morning and again tonight. Laundry in between. I need to get with it this morning and go get the class area cleaned up - it's a bit of a mess and needs to be picked up before class.
Have a wonderful day!
An easy birthday card today. Riding hood red and chocolate chip (one of my favorite color combinations these days) Stamps are from SU.
This is another card done with a new set I got from Papertry Ink. Colors are chocolate, pink pirouette and pretty in pink.
Oh my gosh, am I late this morning? I just got up - I can't remember the last time I slept until 8:00 - those girls wore me out last night I guess! Emily, Sherry and Deb were here, stamping and scrapping. I actually worked on a class project and almost have it finished. Today I need to finish up cards for class next week and then maybe I can even finish the project I started last night!
Enjoy your weekend!
Valentine's Day is coming and I got a few cards done last week so thought I'd better post a few here and there. This card is done with SU's new set. The love word background is also SU. Colors are chocolate, riding hood red and pink pirouette.
More snow? What's up with that? I'm glad I'm staying in today. My plan today is to get cards done for card classes that start on Tuesday. If I'm really good and get those done during the day I'm going to scrapbook tonight! It's been too long and the pictures are piling up from the holidays.
Have a wonderful day.
A new stamp - a different card size. I found some envelopes at the office supply place that were a different size than what I generally use - they are 3 5/8 by 6 1/2. Decided it would be fun to make some cards that size. The card is 6 1/4 x 3 3/8. The stamp is from Autumn Leaves - it is fairly large and I really had quite a time figuring out what to do with it. I wasn't really overjoyed with this, but it's ok. I'm looking foward to working with it on some different layouts. As my friend Molly would say - it has lots of possibilities!
Guess I will have to brave the cold today and do a few errands this morning. Or not! (I may talk myself right out of that one)
Happy stampin'
No stamping - this card is done with rub-ons. I had these rub-ons that Emily gave me and had never used them, saw a card online that inspired me to get them out and here is what I ended up with. The card is chocolate chip and vanilla, the rub-ons (from SU) are chocolate. The pearl embellishments are from Kaiser.
Brrrr - is it ever cold out this morning. My temperature thing says it's 1. Yuk! Too cold for me. I'm ready for spring!
Class prep today, class tonight. Guess it's time to get back in the groove of real life again.
Enjoy your day!
A "guy card" today. The set is from Stampin Up - colors are kraft, not quite navy and chocolate chip.
Judy S came over yesterday to play - she got me motivated and I managed to get several cards done. Today it's time to get class projects done since I have scrapbook class tomorrow night.
Hope you are having a great weekend!
More snow today, so.......more snowmen. I sent this one for a January birthday just the other day.
Sherry and Emily came to play last night - I wasn't very productive, though - only managed to get 2 cards done. Today I need to get started on scrapbook pages for class on Monday night.
Stay warm and enjoy your day.
Another new stamp - this is another one from Papertrey. You can't see it in the picture but there is some stickles glitter in the center of the flowers. Colors are blush blossom and mellow moss.
I hope everyone had a great beginning to 2009. My day was wonderful - food, family, friends, and a great deal of fun! Yea! Couldn't ask for much more (well, I could ask for warmer weather - isn't it time for spring now?)
Have a wonderful day.
