The card - flowers are from B Line Designs, sentiment is SU.  Colors are wisteria and pear.

Really need to get some yard work done this morning.  The weeds are multiplying in the driveway way too fast!  So, I will get those taken care of and then I can move on to something a little more enjoyable!

Sue, I had to laugh at the comment you left yesterday..... when I was a kid we called those 'thongs' too!  Then 'thongs' became a kind of underwear and now the shoes are flip flops. 

Have a wonderful day!

The card - just a fun one today....this is the card I did for our Shoebox Club last week.  The flip flops are from Imaginisce and the sentiment is from Deadbeat designs. 

Sure am glad I got my work all done yesterday...woo hoo!  Now, today I can have a little fun.  Judy S and I are going to breakfast, a little (very little) shopping and then some crafting time.   At some point I do need to get things put together for class tonight though. 

Enjoy your day!

The card - butterflies are from Hero Arts, sentiment is from SU.  Colors are indigo, limeade and pool party. 

I got a little side-tracked yesterday and didn't get all my work done...oops!  The priority today is getting the kits cut for class tonight :) 

To answer questions from the last couple of posts:  the flowers from yesterday's card are in SU's set called Field Flowers.  And a question from Sunday's post - I get a lot of my patterns for the wool applique I do from our local quilt shop, but I also order on-line.  A lot of the mats I do come from a company called Primitive Gatherings.  The pattern for the oval mat pictured on Sunday was in a book called Autumn Gatherings.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - flowers are from SU.  Brick wall is Tim Holtz embossing folder, fence is a Martha Stewart punch.  I stamped the stems on the panel, inked the inside of the folder and then embossed.  The flowers and the leaf on the right are cut out and popped up.

It's time to get class kits cut and bagged so that is my goal for the day.   Hopefully I can get some errands done this afternoon too.

Have a wonderful day!

Photo Saturday - a stormy sunset from last week.

I'm going to work on some digital scrapbooking this morning.  Still have some wedding stuff to do and I've been waiting for SU's new upgrade to their MDS program.  It came out this week and I haven't taken time to play with it yet...so, I'm going to work on that this morning and then do some stitching later.

Enjoy your day!

Have a great day!

The card - flower is from SU, sentiment is from Savvy Stamps.  I used just part of the embossing folder (from Darice) along the edge and then scored  two lines next to that.  Colors are pear, raspberry and white.

I did more thinking than doing yesterday, so today I need to actually get some work done on class projects. 

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - this is the basket I made at the class we went to on Wednesday.  It was so much fun!

Today is going to be a stamping day!  I got another section of the yard done yesterday...yay!  So I'm taking a break from the yard work today (it rained last night anyway, so it's too wet to do anything outside) and I'm planning on spending the day in my stamp room. 

Enjoy your day!

Photo Saturday.....Colorado National Monument

More yard work this morning....if it's not raining that is.  The weather report says rain, which would be good, but you never know if it's actually going to happen.  So, we'll see.  A rainy day would be a good day to get some stamping done:)

Have a fabulous day!

I spent two days stamping and then the last two days stitching, so I think it's time to get myself out of the house for a bit...... I'm going to run some errands this morning and then I need to figure out what my schedule is going to be for this week.

Have a wonderful day!

Project Sunday - something besides a table mat :)  I took this flower pattern and used it to make a pillow for my living room. 

Not sure what I'm doing today....I did some stitching yesterday, but that was about it.  So, I guess today I better get the laundry done and figure out what needs to be done for the coming week.

Enjoy your day!

I'm not feeling terribly ambitious this morning....um...maybe it's time for a day of r & r.... or maybe I could at least get started on the laundry :)

Have a great day!
