Project Sunday  - this wool applique was a bit outside my box, but the square shape plus the black and pink was just calling me!

I did get some stamping done yesterday, but not nearly enough.  Judy S is coming over this afternoon so hopefully that will keep me motivated and I will be more productive today :)

Enjoy your day!

Photo Saturday - I had what I thought was this big huge weed in my yard that I just never got around to chopping down....turned out it was a sunflower, so I was glad I never got around to chopping it down:)

I need to focus!  Have to get some stamping done this weekend.........

Photo Saturday - a rose from my yard

A Good Time Girls day today..... I'm going to try and get my smash book caught up and then I need to get serious about the wedding guest book I need to get put together.

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!
