The card - paper and stamps are from SU. Colors are real red, black and white.

Brrrr - it's cold. Temps in the below 0 catergory are just too cold! I wish I could stay inside today, but I have to go get a haircut this morning. Think I will skip the errands after that and just come home and get ready for class tonight.

Have a wonderful day.

The card - background stamp is Hero Arts, flower is Paper Inspirations, sentiment is SU. Embossing folder is SU. Colors are marina mist, pear, and white.

Have to get things together for class this morning and then I guess I will have to go out and shovel some snow. And here I had the mistaken impression that we were done with all that winter stuff. Guess not! Can't really complain though - we haven't really had that much of the white stuff here this winter.

Enjoy your day!

The card - no stamping on this one! I used part of a piece of printed paper from SU, added a heart sticker (Martha Stewart), a little pearl and some ribbon. Colors are basic grey and pirouette pink. Easy!

My plan for today is to get some cleaning and re-arranging done downstairs. There's a ton of stamps I need to sort and organize although I'm not sure I'll get to that part today, but who knows.

Have a wonderful day!

Project Sunday - this is what Jeff & Sara decided on for their Save the Date card. I did the entire card in SU's MDS program.

Since I got my class stuff finished up yesterday - all cut and bagged even! - I am going to spend the day 'stamping for fun'.

Enjoy your day!

Enjoy your day!

The card - used an old stamp I found in my drawer for this card. The background is swiss dots embossing folder. The center is actually 3 layers and is popped up. I scored around the outside center layer with the scor-pal.

Clean-up day today. I made such a mess in my room yesterday that I will have to get it straightened up or Deb & Sherry won't have a place to stamp tonight. But I was rather productive (hence the mess) - I got a good start on the cards for card class, so that is a good thing!

Have a great day!

The card - the background on this card is a piece of Tim Holtz paper. The stamped images are also from Tim Holtz. I embossed the flowers in white, the other images are stamped in black.

I got a little side tracked yesterday and never did get any stamping done. Ended up cooking dinner for Jeff & Sara which meant a trip to the store. I did get the Save the Date cards ready to mail. Yea! Maybe I can get some stamping done today.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - printed paper is from SU. Just added a die cut heart and a little punched heart from glitter paper. Colors are basic grey and pink pirouette. Sentiment stamp is from My Sentiments Exactly.

I think today will be a stamping day. Need to get my Valentine's cards done. And it's going to be very cold outside (the high is supposed to be 16) so it will be a good day to stay inside!

Enjoy your day!

The card - flower is from SU. Colors are marina mist and white.

Need to get things together for my class tonight - the project is done, but I need to get it cut and bagged.

Have a great day!

The card - a little more of the 'collage' look. I sponged some color here and there, then just stamped a variety of stamps on the background. Celebrate is stamped on a seperate piece of paper and popped up.

Nothing terribly exciting today - a few errands and laundry.

Enjoy your day!

Project Sunday - this is the rag quilt purse I made for my friend Emily for her birthday.



Yesterday was great fun and very productive - the girls brought great food (yummy salad & soup) and I got Tracy's Guest Book album done! Yea! Going to a Bridal Show with Sara today.



Have a wonderful day!

Have a great day!

The card - here's another one of the guy cards I did. I used a variety of stamps from Tim Holtz, 7 Gypsies and SU. Top part is a Tim Holtz embossing folder, below that is some tissue tape from Tim Holtz. (I have a ton of this stuff I need to use). Colors are kraft, black and vanilla.

Time to get to work on class projects. If I had any idea what I was doing it would help!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped image is from SU. I stamped the tree with Versamark on the background. The colored tree is inked with markers, cut out and popped up. Colors are real red and white.

A play day today! Yea! Judy and I are going to Delta - lunch and a stop at the scrapboook store! Woo hoo! Can you tell I'm excited?

Have a great day!

The card - I've been trying to get some 'guy cards' done this past week and decided I'd try something a little different. Collage has always been a bit 'out of the box' for me but I thought I'd give it a try. I used a variety of Tim Holtz and 7 Gypsies stamps for the background, then sponged some color here and there. The trees were stamped last.

Need to do a couple of errands this morning and then get ready for class tonight.

Thanks for all the kind comments about the pillow - I'm looking forward to making some more in different colors.

Have a wonderful day.

The card - stamped images are from SU. Colors are real red, black and kraft.

I had a great afternoon yesterday stamping with Judy S. A nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon! Today I need to get some birthday cards ready to take to the church and get to work on my Valentine cards.

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - this is a rag quilt pillow I made for my friend Deb for her birthday. It was a bit of a challenge since I had never seen it done before so therefore I had no pattern or picture. Amazingly enough I figured it out and this was the result.

I can't believe that this is going to be the last week of January. I guess it's time to start thinking about projects for February classes. Maybe I'll try to work on that today - at least the 'thinking' part!

Have a fabulous day!

Photo Saturday - picture of the full moon that I took from my back yard the other night.

Have some errands I really need to do today - hopefully I can get them done this morning and still have enough time and energy left to get some things done this afternoon.

Enjoy your day!

The card - stamped image is from Tim Holtz - sentiment is A Muse. Colors are white, kraft and black.

Not sure exactly what I'm doing today - plenty to do, just not sure where to start.

Enjoy your day!
