The card - paper, flower and vase are part of the new smooches line from SU (the stamp set is called Bright Blossoms).  Sentiment is from Endless Creations.  Colors are black, red, limeade and white. 

My original plan was to start on the yard work today, however it's cold and still wet from the rain, so I guess I shall get some household stuff done instead.  The mess in the basement is still there so I think I will tackle that this morning and then get ready for class tonight. 

Enjoy your day!

The card - stamped image is from SU.  I inked the stamp with markers, then used the oval embossing folder from SU.  Then I punched it out with a Marvy scalloped punch and added a layer with a bigger scallop punch.  The paper is from Fab Scraps.  Colors are razzleberry, artichoke and vanilla.

Oh my, so many things to do I'm not sure where to start.  Guess I better finish bagging the class kits first and then move on from there.  Maybe I can even multi-task and get some laundry done at the same time :)

Enjoy your day!

I guess playtime is over for this week - darn! - I've been having such fun the last couple of days.  But, now it is time to get some work done around here.  I must get the dust and dirt from the construction cleaned up a bit since I'm having guests for dinner tomorrow.

Loved the movie yesterday - went to see Mirror, Mirror with Julia Roberts - a real 'laugh out loud' movie - just what I needed!

The card - I used an oval punch for the eggs and then embossed them.  'Grass' on the bottom is a die cut from Memory Box.  Butterfly is a Martha Stewart punch.  Background is a sizzix embossing folder.  Sentiment is SU. 

Gosh, what a week!  Computer issues just throw me for a loop.  But, it's fixed and I'm back in business.  Turned out I had a really nasty virus (well, the computer did, I didn't)  They ended up having to wipe the hard drive clean, which means I'm starting from scratch again - my job this morning will be re-loading all those programs - again! - seems like I just did that :)    But I'm going to take a break this afternoon and go to a movie with Judy D.  I'll probably need the distraction by then :)

Have a wonderful day!

Stamped image is from Penny Black.  Colors are peach and white.

The computer seems to be working ok now - here's hoping it will stay that way.   Love technology, but it's a real pain when it doesn't work right - it's amazing how much I rely on it!

Lots to get done this week so I better get started - class projects to do, Easter cards to finish, laundry, and on it goes.  I need to get things caught up this week because I'm going to have to start thinking about starting the yard work next week.  (I'm just thinking about it this week, have to work myself up to actually doing it :)

Have a wonderful day!

Project Sunday - my first completed wool applique project.   Have a couple more I've finished in the last couple of days so I will be showing more of these projects :)

Having computer issues - ugh!  I'm pre-posting a couple of days worth while it's working just in case........ I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to take it in for some work.

Hoping to get in a day of stamping today.

Enjoy your day!
