A fun card! This is a SU set - Big Birthday Candle. My friend Judy S was kind enough to loan me this set to play with. I used the outline part of the set and stamped on printed paper (Sweet Slumber) and then cut the candle out. Added some glitter to the flames. (hint - don't use glitter under a fan!)

We're off this morning to Indiana. We are taking my Mom's car to my daughter Tracy. Then we will be flying home. I am looking forward to this trip - I haven't driven any further east than McPherson, KS, so we will be seeing some new country.

Have a wonderful day!

I just got my order from our Stamp Club so had to play with this new set - Sense of Time (SU). I think this one is going to be a lot of fun. The minute part of the clock is cut out, sponged on the edge and popped up. Used a grommet on the right hand side, punched a hole in the center and tied some string through that. Added some brads and there you have it. The Celebrate is from Celebrate Everything (SU) Colors are Kraft and chocolate.

Today - laundry and packing! We're leaving bright and early in the morning. I will schedule posts for the days I am gone, so you will have something new to see each day while I am gone.

Have a great day!

Love the colors in this Walk in the Park paper from SU. I used cameo coral, basic grey and baja for this card. Butterfly is from SU's Great Friend set.

More yard work today - hopefully I will be able to finish it this morning. Have a lot to get done today and tomorrow - we leave on Wednesday, so I'm getting down to the wire. Class tonight.

Happy stampin'

This is a card Roni did at stamp club last week. I did one a while ago like this, but I loved the color Roni used on this one. (baja) The Manhattan Flower embossing folder from SU was used on vellum.

Whew - I am finally finished with the rose bushes! Oh yea! I still have some bushes to trim and some weeds to get rid of, but it is such a relief to have all those rose bushes done! I am taking a break from 'hard labor' today - Deb is going to come stamp for a bit and I am going to enjoy some play time.

Hope you are having a great weekend.

It's pink! Yep, a little out of my usual color zone, but what the heck, it's pretty! Stamp is SU's pocket silhouettes, butterfly punch is Martha Stewart, scalloped rectangle is nestabilities, patterned paper is SU. Colors are Pretty in Pink and Pirouette Pink.

More yard work today. Oh boy!

Have a wonderful weekend.

Used some inchies for this card I gave to Jeff for his birthday. Paper is from SU (thanks Sherry!).

Back to the yard work today. Still have lots to get done before we leave for Indiana next week!

Happy stampin'

Found a couple of new stamps when I was at Hobby Lobby last week - this is one of them. It's called Waving Wheat and is from Stampabilities. Printed paper is from SU (Parisian Breeze) and I used one of SU's new jumbo grommets. Happy Birthday is from Hero Arts.

Tomorrow is my son Jeff's birthday, but since he is going to be out of town we're doing dinner tonight. So.......today is a cooking and cleaning day.

Have a wonderful day.

No stamping! Thought this was kind of fun and could be done with a variety of colors and paper. The flower is a die cut from Sizzix (Flower Layers). I sponged the edge of each flower, curled the edges up a bit and layered them. Fun and easy. Colors are celery, saffron and bashful blue.

Back to the yard work today. More rose bushes to trim. Class tonight.

Have a great day!

Simple, but elegant. Stamp is Soft Summer from SU's mini catalog. I used the outline stamp and colored it with a blender pen. Happy Birthday stamp is CTMH. Background is cuttlebug embossing folder.

Class this morning, errands this afternoon and class again tonight. Full day.

Enjoy your day!

SU's Great Friend & On Your Birthday. Colors are Regal Rose & Basic Grey. I used a light grey from Bazzill for the card.

Yard work today - I've put it off far too long - it's time to get the rose bushes trimmed.

Have a great day!

Happy

Mother's

Day

Today's card is done with stamps from Papertrey Ink. I really like the images in this set (Life). Colors are baja and Artichoke.


Have some chores to do this morning, but looking forward to this afternoon - Kris and Darilyn are coming to crop. I am hoping to finish up my pictures from Yosemite.


Have a great weekend!

Pocket Silhouettes (SU) - Going grey, basic grey and regal rose. Pretty simple, but I liked these colors together.

Got all my flowers planted yesterday - whew! Took longer than I thought - I think the older I get, the slower I get! Now it's time to start trimming the rose bushes (past time, actually), so I will get started on that this morning.

Have a wonderful day!

White on white with a touch of color. Stamp is from SU, Cuttlebug butterfly.

Planting flowers today - the day got away from me yesterday and I didn't get to the planting part. Looking foward to Stamp Club with Roni tonight!

Happy stampin'

Another card with SU's Touch of Nature. Background is a Cuttlebug embossing folder.

Have to go get a haricut this morning, then I am going to go get flowers and hopefully get them all planted this afternoon.

Enjoy your day!

I dug out a very old SU set for this card - Touch of Nature. The images are all stamped in black and colored with Baja. The background image is stamped with baja on baja paper. Sentiment is from Papertrey Ink, embossed with white.

Working on class projects today. My goal is to get the rest of my projects done so I can start on yard work tomorrow.

Happy stampin'

More Papertry Ink stamps - colors are riding hood red and kraft. A simple and easy layout.


Lots of chores to get done today, including laundry and cutting and bagging class kits. Class tonight.


Have a great day!

Super simple - stamps are from Papertrey Ink - colors are rust and vanilla.

Have a couple of things to finish up this morning, then Deb is coming to stamp this afternoon. Yea! It will be a good day!

Hope you are enjoying your weekend.

One of SU's new sets in the mini catalog (Soft Summer). This is a two-step stamp - I stamped the outline stamp and colored it with a blending pen, then stamped the solid image with eggplant and cut the flowers out and popped them up. Colors are Old Olive and Eggplant.

Working on class projects today.

Happy stampin'

A touch of spring today. SU's Great Friend set (from the new mini ctalog). Colors are bashful blue and celery. Printed paper is SU's Delicate Dots.

Back to the yard work today - events conspired against me yesterday (totally not my fault) and I didn't get the weeds sprayed. So.......today it is a must because they are predicting rain for the next several days.

Play time tonight though, so I have something fun to look forward to!

Enjoy your day.
