The card - more washi tape :)  The splotchy stamp in the center is from Hero Arts, sentiment is from Unity and the strips of color are washi tape.

Oh my, it's Monday....the beginning of a new week.  Last week I had a lot of stuff going on...this week I have a blank slate but have lots of things that need to be done.  Today I'm hoping to get the laundry done, the lawn watered and a whole list of errands taken care of. 

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - this is a 12" piece I just finished as a sample for Laura's shop.  She is going to present it this afternoon as the beginning of a new series she's going to sell in kits. 

Have a few chores to do this morning and then I'm off for an afternoon of stitchin' at Laura's. 

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - sunrise Wednesday morning

The Good Time Girls are coming today. (at least part of them).  I think it will be a good day to work on my smash book. 

Have a wonderful day!

The card - background on square was stamped using a clear block.  Flower and sentiment are from SU.  Colors are white and primrose.

Never did get around to planting the flowers yesterday.....maybe today.  I did get some cards made though, (playing with washi tape mostly) so the day wasn't a total waste :)

Enjoy your day!

The card - border embossing folder is from Cuttlebug, sentiment is SU.  Hexagons are nestabilities dies.  Colors are white, kraft and ruby red.

I went and bought flowers for the yard yesterday and I probably should get them planted today......although I'm not feeling very motivated to do so this morning.  Maybe after a bit more caffeine. 

Have a great day!

The card - a quick and easy note card.....music background is from Close To My Heart, butterfly is a SU die cut.  Colors are white and real red.

Today is my son Jeff's birthday....so it's a cooking day for me (chicken and noodles, of course)  Looking forward to a fun evening!

Have a wonderful day.

The card - just some bright happy paper (from one of my many 6 x 6 pads) and some prima flowers to match. 

I really am anxious to play with some of the new goodies I brought home, but alas, it's going to be a few days before I can get to it.  Today is a full day with class this morning, stitchin' at Laura's this afternoon and another class tonight. 

Have a great day!

The card - a simple birthday card that would work well for guys.  The strips of color are washi tape.  The label shape is a SU die cut.   Colors are basic gray and coral.

On our way home today.....it's been a great weekend...so much fun.  And Sherry has been the 'hostess with the mostess' as usual.  Thank you Sherry for showing us such a wonderful time and for all the yummy home cookin'!

Enjoy your day!

Project Sunday.......projects just waiting to happen :)  My little stash of purchases this weekend.  Glory be, don't let me even near to another place that has washi tape! 

Yesterday was filled with eating, shopping, more eating, then quite a lot of stitching and of course more eating!  Great fun!  Today will be pretty much a stitchin' day....good thing because my wallet can't handle any more shopping :) 

Happy Mother's Day!!!

Photo Saturday - sunset last week

Ah.....we're here at our friend Sherry's...getting ready to go to breakfast and then do a little shopping.  Stopped at Archiver's on our way....oh my....lots of washi tape ended up in my car!  And a couple of stamps..... I will have new goodies to play with when I get home:)

Enjoy your day!

The card - leaves are from Papertrey, butterflies are Martha Stewart punch.  

Woo hoo!  A get-away weekend.  Deb & I will shortly be on on way to visit our friend Sherry on the eastern slope.  Looking forward to lots of visiting and stitchin' and a little shopping!

Have a great day.

The card - The flower (from Penny Black) is stamped in black and colored with copics.  I added a black mat and then a white mat and then popped it up.  The sentiment is from Hero Arts. 

Have a lot of chores to get done today.  Deb & I are going to see our friend Sherry this weekend so I need to get my laundry done and make sure I have project stuff together to work on. 

Have a great day!

The card - some new printed paper from SU.  The background hexagons are cut out of the printed paper in one piece and attached to the white mat.  Added some splotches and twine and a sentiment.  Sentiment is punched out and popped up.

Rain, rain and more rain.  We need the moisture for sure, but oh my, it makes for dreary days.  Staying in today....need to get some wool projects ready for stitching and then I'll get ready for class tonight.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - more balloons (Martha Stewart punch) and more washi tape.  Colors are turquoise, black and white. 

The class projects are done - woo hoo!  Now it's time to get a few chores done around here and get ready for class tonight.

Have a great day!

The card - fence is a Martha Stewart punch....stems are from Technique Tuesday...flowers are from Prima. 

Not sure what happened to me yesterday.....I was soooo sleepy all day..not just tired, but actually sleepy.  It was weird.  So, I didn't get much done.  So now today I have to finish up the class stuff and then take my car in to be serviced.  Hopefully I can stay awake :)

Enjoy your day!

Project Sunday - I still have a bit of work left on this one - haven't done the backing and the edge yet, but it's almost done :)

Had a wonderful time yesterday at the bbq - an entire afternoon of hanging out, playing ping pong and chowing down on some great food.  Now it's time to get back to work and finish up the class projects for this week.

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - Colorado National Monument

It's going to be a good day!  Going to a bbq at Jeff & Sara's this afternoon.....play a little ping pong, have some yummy food and just enjoy the day with friends!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - the rectangles in the background were done by inking up a clear block and then stamping it!  I've found this works really well with the new SU ink pads (never could get it to work so well with the older pads).  The flower image and sentiment are stamped in black on top of the rectangles.  Colors are gumball green, starfruit and primrose.

I got a little sidetracked yesterday and still haven't finished up the class projects.  But that's ok, I still have a few days :)  Today I will be helping a friend get stuff sorted for a yard sale she's having here next week.  Looking forward to some relaxing crafting time with Deb and Emily tonight!

Have a great day!

The card - stamped leaves are from Papertrey, sentiment is SU.  Flowers are from Prima.  And some more washi tape (I am so addicted to that washi tape.....it is so much fun!)

The class projects are coming along quite nicely....I am hoping to finish them up this morning. 

Enjoy your day!

The card - I sponged the background square with some Tim Holtz distress ink.  The butterfly (from SU) is stamped in black on the sponged piece and then I stamped it again and colored it with the same colors, cut it out and popped it up on top of the other one.

Wow, this last month went by fast!  Can't really believe it's the first of May!  That means it's time to get started on class projects again (dang, it seems like I just did that :)

Have a great day!
