The card - a super easy one - punched out hearts with a variety of patterned paper,  Colors are riding hood red, kraft and white.  

This is going to be an extremely busy week so I need to get some chores done today and get myself organized.  Looking forward to our Stamp Club with Deb tonight - new stamps - woo hoo!

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - a 'Valentine' wall hanging I finished a week or so ago.

It's time for our 'Black Sheep Sunday' so I will be off in a bit to meet friends for breakfast and then an afternoon of stitching - yay!

Have a wonderful day.

Photo Saturday - on Grand Mesa

I'm hoping to get the class kits put together today and maybe even have time to go for a drive.  We've been having such beautiful weather - more like spring than winter- and I feel the need to get outside and enjoy the sunshine!

Have a terrific day!

The card - lots of washi tape makes this one super easy!

I must concentrate on class projects today - somehow I got totally sidetracked from that this week and time is running out!  So I will work on that today and then relax and enjoy Friday night crafting!

Have a great day!

The card - flowers are from SU.  I sponged the newsprint paper with kraft and the front panel with the flowers is popped up.  

Today is our Wool Gatherer's group and I'm looking forward to an afternoon of stitching with some terrific ladies.

Have a great day!

The card - playing with some new stamps that I got from Paper Trey Ink.  Simple, but fun.  Colors are white, smoky slate and turquoise.

Back to work on class projects today.  I did get the scrapbook pages done for class last night, now it's time to get the cards done for classes that start next week.

Have a wonderful day!

The card -stamped images are from SU.  Colors are calypso coral and old olive.  The oval is popped up.

Not sure where my creativity was yesterday, but it certainly wasn't around here.  Now I'm down to the wire - have to get projects done before class tonight - guess I better get to it!

Have a great day!

The card - time for a little Valentine's stuff.  This is a super easy one - I stamped some spoltches (from SU) in the background and then added some punched out hearts in two different sizes.  Easy!

Time to figure out class projects for this month.  Have to go to a Dr's appointment this morning, but then I will be spending the rest of the day trying to be creative.

Have a wonderful day!

Project Sunday - this is the first project in a Block of the Month that I am doing.  

Have to finish getting my house cleaned up this morning.  I have some friends coming for lunch that I haven't seen in probably 30 years.  Oh my, how time flies!  I'm looking forward to a fun afternoon!

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - a photo Jeff took up on the Monument this last week.

Good day to stay in and try to get some household chores done - it's dreary and raining.  I've got plenty to do to keep me busy, that's for sure!

Have a great day!

The card - flower stamp is from Penny Black.  I inked the stamp with markers, then stamped it three times without re-inking.  Colors are cameo coral, olive and white.

Well, the garage is about as tidy as it's going to get.  I think I really need to get rid of some more stuff, but it's ok for now.  Today I need to get some laundry done and do a couple of errands.  Looking forward to Friday night crafting!

Have a great day!

The card - some grunge stuff - background stamps are from Paper Trey Ink.  Colors are kraft, smoky slate and tangelo.

Have no idea what possessed me yesterday, but I decided it was time to straighten up the garage.  I had tubs of Christmas stuff that never quite made it all the way to where they belonged, plus some other stuff that never quite got put away.  Of course, it has turned into more than just a one-day job, so I am going to try and finish that up today!

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Colors are cantaloupe, kraft and white.

No idea what I'm doing today.  I probably should start thinking about class projects for next month and maybe I can motivate myself to do that today.....hmmm....or not!  There's so many things that I need to do I really need to just pick one and do it!

Have a great day!

The card - scribble circles are from Paper Trey Ink.  I stamped them in black and then colored them with copic markers.  Just something a little different :)

I'm off to do some errands today.  Running out of some essential items (like toilet paper) that I need to get stocked up on.  After that I will need to get the classroom cleaned up for tonight's class.

Yesterday's background embossing folder was from Darice (no idea what the name of it is)

Have a great day!

The card - flower image is from SU.   I love this new flower stamp - it's actually three stamps and you layer it to get all the shading effects - pretty cool.   The colors are black, white and blackberry.

I'm going to try and get some stuff cleaned up around here today.  Since I spent most of the weekend stamping (and I got quite a lot done too!) I need to get some things straightened up and get myself organized for the coming week.

Have a terrific day!

Project Sunday - A jar wrapper that I made for a birthday gift.

Not sure what the plan is for the day - meaning I don't really have a plan!  But I'm thinking I might get some more stamping done.  We'll see....

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - from the Arches near Moab, Utah

The Good Time Girls are coming today - oh yay!  It will be a fun and hopefully, productive day!  I'm hoping to get a lot of stamping done.

Have a great day!

The card - a Penny Black flower, inked with markers, stamped on a piece of patterned paper from 7 Gypsies.  Easy!

I'm going to try and get some chores done today - somehow I thought I'd get more done this week since I had a fairly free week  - hmmm, didn't happen.  The week is almost over and I really haven't accomplished much of anything - how the heck did that happen?  Oh well, there's always next week!  Looking forward to Friday night crafting tonight.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - leaves are from Paper Trey Ink, flower is 3 different flower stamps/punches from SU.  Each flower layer is stamped, punched out and then popped up on top of the larger layer.  Colors are  meadow and honey.

I had such a good time yesterday.  We had a great lunch, did some shopping (Judy watched me spend money) and just generally had a great day.  Thanks Judy for a fantastic day (and we didn't even get into any trouble :)  Now today I suppose I should try to accomplish something - not sure what, but I'll try to figure out something.  (I'm more in the mood to have another fun day!)

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU - same flower as yesterday.  I used part of the flower stamp to make the 'greenery' at the bottom.

And we're off on an adventure today - Judy S and I are going to lunch in Delta and see what we can find in the Delta/Montrose area.   It's been too long since we've had a day to play, so we're going to make the most of it.  Looking forward to a fun day!

Have a wonderful day!
