The card - printed paper and stamped image are from SU.  The image is stamped in black and then colored just a bit using a blender pen.

The secretary at church called me several weeks ago and said they were running out of birthday cards - oh oh.  I meant to get some put together before this, but somehow it just hasn't happened.  So, that's my goal for today.  Hopefully I can keep the mess at a minimum so I won't have too much cleaning up to do before class tonight :)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped image is from SU.  I stamped the image in black and colored it with markers.  The background embossing folder is from Hobby Lobby.

Off for a full day of stitching - Little Ewe's group today.  I do need to get a couple of things ready so I guess I should get to it!

Have a great day!

The card - printed paper and stamped images are from SU.  Colors are smoky slate, indigo and gumball.

Oh my, a day with no commitments!  Good grief, what will I do with myself?  I do have to call and see about getting a couple of appointments - I'm hoping to work at least one of them in today.  Other than that I guess I better figure out something to work on tomorrow - we have a full day of stitching coming up.  And of course there is stamping that needs to be done.

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  I stamped the flower a couple of times in black on bermuda bay cardstock and then cut it out and layered it.  

Have some odds and ends of things to get done today, then I will get ready for class tonight.

Enjoy your day!

Project Sunday - this is a project I had finished stitching several months ago but just hadn't gotten around to putting it in a frame.  I finally got it in the frame so I could hang it on the wall :)

Whew - the paper work is all done!  Yay!  Now I can get back to the fun stuff - stitching and stamping!

Have a fabulous day!

Photo Saturday - Colorado scenery

I'm hoping to finish up the paper work today - it seems to be taking me longer than usual - there's either more of it, or I'm just getting slower :)

Have a super day!

The card - stamped image is from SU.  I stamped the image in black and colored with copics.  The card is white with daffodil accents.

I got part of the laundry done yesterday and got a start on the paper work.  Not quite as productive as I had hoped.  So, I need to work on both of those things again today, plus figure out a project for Shoebox tonight.

Have a great day!

The card - a little grunge (from SU), some washi tape, punched hearts and twine.  Colors are real red and white.

Laundry, paper work and then class tonight - that's on my to-do list for today.

Enjoy your day!

The card - the printed paper is from SU - I cut a couple of flowers from the paper and popped them up and added a sentiment and some ribbon.  Easy!  Colors are indigo and gumball green.

Full day today - class this morning and again tonight.  Maybe I can work up the energy to go do a few errands in between.

Have a great day!

The card - embossing folder used for background is from SU.   Added some punched hearts and ribbon.  Colors are real red and white.

Have to finish up the class projects today and then get the room cleaned up for stamp club tonight with Deb.  It's going to be a busy week!

Enjoy your day

Project Sunday - a finished wool project - yay!  This is a table runner that I just finished.  I reduced the original pattern just a bit because I wanted to use it on my dining room hutch and it was a bit too big.  

Meeting Deb for breakfast and then we'll be joining the Black Sheep group for a full day of stitching.

Have a wonderful day!

The Good Time Girls are coming today - yay!  It's always a fun day when they are here!

Have a wonderful day.

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Strips of color are washi tape.

My original plans for the day have changed a bit - our friend Sherry was supposed to arrive today for a weekend visit but, because of the snow in the mountains she decided to postpone her trip for another time.  Bummer!  So, instead of some last minute preparations for her arrival I guess I better try and get some work done on class projects.

Enjoy your day.

The card - heart stamp is from Hero Arts.  I stamped it in black and then colored just the flower.  Colors are white, black and red.

A little stitching time today - Emily and I will be at the Wool Gatherer's group at Hi Fashion this afternoon.  It will be a nice break.  It was nice to see some sunshine yesterday but we're supposed to get more snow today and tomorrow - it would be nice if the weather prediction turned out to be wrong :)

Enjoy your day!

The card - stamped images and paper are from SU.  Colors are indigo and gumball green.

I never did get around to working on class stuff yesterday - I got sidetracked doing some odds and ends around the house and the entire day got away from me.  Not good!  I'm going to try and get a bit done this morning, then I'm going to a movie this afternoon with Judy D.  (if the weather isn't too bad).  We're supposed to get a bit of a break with the snow today, but then they're saying there is more coming on Thursday and Friday - ugh!

Have a great day!

The card - a little love today.  Strips are washi tape, punched hearts and some bling.  Easy peasy.

Snow, snow, and more snow.  It snowed a lot yesterday, but nothing was sticking to the ground.  Now it's sticking - there's at least 3 inches of the white stuff and it's still snowing.  Ugh!  Glad I went and did a few errands yesterday so I don't have to go anywhere today - good day to get some more work done on class projects :)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - the stamp is a really old one that happened to be in my flower collection so I decided to use it!  The colors are saffron, black and white.

Oh my, yesterday was definitely not a good day for Bronco fans.  But now it's time to move on.....I have got to get class projects done this week so that is going to be my focus today.

Have a great day!

It's Party Time!

Super Bowl Sunday

GO BRONCOS!

Saturday, February 1, 2014



The hall closet - this was just an ordinary coat closet in the hallway - took the door off, added some ribbed paneling on the back, a bench, some hooks and a shelf and presto - a mini mud room.  

Hard to believe it's the first of February - but now it's another month closer to spring!  I didn't think the snow would ever stop yesterday - it snowed for close to 30 hours. Luckily it warmed up a bit so it was melting and not accumulating as much-  thank goodness.  Have so many things to get done this coming week that I guess I better figure out where to start and try to accomplish something today :)

Have a wonderful day!
