Loved the rain last night and this morning - it smells so fresh and clean and is good for my lawn!    Much better than just the dreary, cloudy days we've had.  I think today might be a good day for stamping!

Scrappin' Sunday  - a simple layout - a start on the wedding album.  There's going to be a lot of simple layouts in this album - too many pictures to do anything else.


It's been a long and busy week - I'm feeling the need for a little down time.  Maybe some stampin' for fun today!

Enjoy your day.

Photo Saturday - signs of spring.  I love it when the trees are full of blossoms.  Think we've been lucky this year that the wind didn't blow them all away before this.

Crop day - the Good Time Girls are coming - yea!  I plan on getting started on Tracy's wedding album.

Have a fabulous day!

The card - A collage card - thought this would be a good 'guy card'.  Tim Holtz stamps stamped randomly on a cream panel.  I used Distress Inks to stamp the images.  Card is kraft, panel is vanilla.

A few errands this morning and then I must get my stamp room cleaned up so Sherry & Deb will have a place to stamp tonight! 

Enjoy your day!

The card - not a lot of stamping on this one.  Colors are vanilla, pear and marina mist.

It's supposed to be sunny and a bit warmer today so I think I might try to get outside and deal with some weeds before they take over the driveway.  Looking forward to Stamp Club with Deb tonight!

The card - the colors on this card are a little 'out of the box' for me, but I just love this ribbon so........colors are daffodil, melon and pacific point.  The stamped images (from SU) are actually builder wheel stamps.  Since I don't have the wheels for these I removed them from the wheel, mounted them on EZ mount and use them with clear blocks just like the cling stamps. 

Have some sewing projects to get done and errands to run today.  Class tonight.

Enjoy your day!

Scrappin' Sunday - a layout with pictures from a trip to Denver last summer.   The background is one we did in scrap class, I just added the pictures.

Back to work on class projects today - it seems my creativity wasn't in very good working order yesterday - I mostly stared at paper and moved it around a lot!  Not good!

Have a great day!

The card - flower is from SU, sentiment is from Papertry.  Colors are kraft, pear and white.

Why is it so hard to get rid of clothes?  Good grief!  I have a closet full of stuff I haven't worn for a very long time, but I can't convince myself that I might not want to wear that really cool shirt I've had for 15 years some day........ after I lose 20 lbs, of course.  Ok, today I am going to be ruthless......


Enjoy your day!
