The card - stamped images are from Hero Arts.  The floral images are stamped with versamark and embossed with white.  Colors are wisteria, white and mellow moss.

Not sure what direction I'm headed today.... (that seems to be happening a lot this week!)  Plenty of things to do, just not too motivated to do any of them. 

Have a wonderful day!

The card - flower stamp is SU, sentiment is My Sentiments Exactly.  Colors are calypso coral and white.  The oval embossing folder is from SU.  I stamped the image, then embossed and then punched it out with a scallop oval punch. 

Need to get some things cleaned up around here today - maybe even do some laundry - and I need to get stuff together for class tonight.  

Enjoy your day!

The card - all stamped images are from Hero Arts.  I colored the flower with copics.  I love this new newsprint background........

My son, Jeff, just started his own blog as a way to share his photographs.  If you enjoy scenery/nature photos check out his blog - there is a link over on the left side (Jeff's Photography blog). 

Still working on this new blog layout.  Having issues with a few things......hopefully I'll figure it out soon!  (or the smart thing to do would be to ask my friend Deb for some help :)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - this is a new stamp I got from Hero Arts.  There's also a die cut for the shape, so of course I had to get that too :)  I colored the flower with copics.  Paper is rose red.

Changing the look of the blog again - still in the process, so who knows how it will end up - stay tuned.......

Have a great day!

The card -   The script background and large heart are from Hero Art.  Small script background is from Stampers Anonomous.  Love word is from Impression Obsession.

I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing today - uh-oh - that usually leads to a day of getting nothing accomplished.  We'll see........

Enjoy your day!

The card - this is the card I did for our Shoebox Club last week.  Went for something a bit different and made it a square card.  Stamped images are from SU.  Colored squares are baja, poppy and wasabi.

It's been a full and busy week so I think it's time for a day of just 'stamping for fun'.    Hopefully a little 'fun stuff' will help make up for that horrible, awful, football game last night.  Yuk - that was bad. 

Have a wonderful day!

Photo Saturday - a shot of the full moon the other night.

Crop day today - yay!  I need to figure out what I'm going to work on since I forgot to get pictures printed ........ probably my Valentine cards :)   And then there is the football game tonight - Go Broncos!

Have a fabulous day!

The card - a little explanation here.  At our Shoebox Club in December we have an 'ugly stamp' exchange.   Then, in January we have to show a card we made with that 'ugly stamp'.  So, on the left is the 'ugly stamp' I got - courtesy of Alison.  Uh huh....pretty darn ugly!   After some masking,  cutting out little flowers and using the stamp-a-ma-jig, the card on the right is what I came up with.  It was a challenge, but it's pretty amazing what you can do with even an 'ugly stamp'!

Have a great day!

The card - background stamps are from SU.  Just added some punched out hearts on top of stamped images.  Colors are kraft, rose red, pretty in pink, baja, espresso and mustard.  Sentiment is from My Sentiments Exacly.

An order of new Hero Arts stamps arrived yesterday, so I think maybe I just might have to see what I can do with them today.  Class tonight.

Have a great day!

The card - not much stamping here.  Hearts are from a sizzix die - I cut them out and then embossed them.  Sentiment is from My Sentiments Exactly.   Colors are coral and white.

Wow - how about those Broncos?  What a game!  Pretty exciting stuff. 

Didn't get all my kits done yesterday so I need to finish that up today.  It's going to be a busy week for me so I probably should get some household stuff done today too. 

Have a great day!

Back to work on class projects this morning.  Looking forward to a movie and dinner with Judy D this afternoon.  That will be a nice break!

The card - stamped image is from Northwoods.  Sentiment is Hero Arts.  I inked the stamp with markers and then added a bit more color to the fence. 

Well, the holidays are over - hmmmm....what now?   I guess it's time to get back to a more normal routine (dang!).  I have some class stuff that needs to be done so I guess maybe I better get started on that.

Have a wonderful day!
