Photo Saturday - this is Carter & Liam, the two 'little ones' we've been babysitting this week in Bakersfield.  It's been so much fun - they are delightful little boys and I'm going to miss them.

We're on our way back to Huntington Beach today - it will be much cooler which will be nice.  We have lots of fun things planned for the next few days :)

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Train is mounted on square that is distressed on the edges and popped up.  Sentiment is stamped, punched out with oval and popped up also.

And we're off to the zoo this morning - hopefully we will beat the heat :)  This is our last day in Bakersfield, we will be heading back to Huntington Beach tomorrow.  I am going to miss the 'little guys' - they have been so much fun!

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  I stamped the images in black then punched them out with a square punch and matted them on a black strip.  Colors are simply black and white.

Off to the store this morning - and that will be the plan for most days......errands or outings in the morning while we're here.  It's extremely hot, so better to be indoors in the afternoons :)

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - finished this fall table mat last week.  It's a large one, it's going to look nice on the table.

Whew - it's very hot here in Bakersfield - 106 yesterday..... more of the same today.  Trying to get settled in and make some plans for the week.

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - Aspen, Colorado

And we're off to Bakersfield this morning.  Mostly a travel day, so not much excitement.  Tomorrow the fun will begin with two little boys!

Have a great day!

The card - flower is from Penny Black.  I love the water color look of these stamps!  I inked the stamped with markers (wisteria and olive), and added a sentiment and a little wisteria dot.

And I'm here in southern California - and all is well!!!!  Had In N Out burgers and fries for lunch yesterday - yay!  We're off to meet a friend for breakfast and then some shopping.

Have a wonderful day!

And I'm off to southern California in just a few hours - yay!  No hospital this time - just two weeks of fun!  Now I need to finish packing......

The card - balloons are a die cut from SU.  I cut them out and then stamped the sentiments (from CTMH) on them.  They are popped up on the embossed panel.  I added some small bows and drew the strings with a fine line pen.

What's up with the rain?  I wasn't expecting that today.  I thought I was doing pretty well getting stuff ready to leave, but somehow I find that I don't have as much done as I thought.  I had planned on going to a stitching thing this afternoon, but I may have to pass on that.  We'll see - maybe I can be super industrious this morning.   So....I better get busy.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - flower is from Penny Black.   The black & white strip at the bottom of the small white panel is washi tape.  Colors are pool party, old olive, black and white.

Off to do some errands this morning.  Need to get a list together so I don't forget anything :)

Have a wonderful day!

Project Sunday - just a quick little flip flop piece I did for summer

I'm going to try and finish up my chores today - I only have 4 days to get everything done before I leave on vacation.  I'm getting so excited!

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - Maroon Bells near Aspen, Colorado - still a bit of winter up this high

More rain today - ugh!  But, I have a lot of chores to get done in the next few days, so I guess it's a good day to stay indoors and get started on those chores!

Have a great day!

The card -  background and flower stamps are from SU.  Flowers are stamped, punched out and then popped up.  Colors are smoky slate and real red.

Ahh....it's June.  Yep, and June is special because..........it's my birthday month.  Yay!  If you've been around here very long you probably know I tend to celebrate my birthday all month if I can get away with it :)  So, my birthday is still a couple weeks away, but the birthday celebrations started last night!  Thank you to Judy S, Celisa, Alison and Molly for a lovely dinner and the awesome gifts.  A great evening with friends is always a wonderful way to spend time!!!!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - a simple black & white....the butterfly is a die cut from SU.  The sentiment is also from SU.

Had an awesome day yesterday - the weather was beautiful and I took a ton of pictures!  It was good to get out and about!  Today is filled with a haircut this morning, Wool Gatherer's Group this afternoon and dinner out with some friends tonight.  Whew.....a busy, but fun day!

Have a great day!

The card - flower is from Penny Black.  I inked the stamp with markers and stamped it three times without re-inking to get the lighter images.  

Off on an adventure today.  My friend Leslie and I are headed up to Aspen today to take some photos.  It's been way too long since I've been out 'picture taking', so I'm really looking forward to what should be a fun day!

Have a great day!

The card - gray part of background is from BoBunny - blue part is from SU.  Sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.  Colors are smoky slate, pool party and black.

Since I spent most of the day running errands yesterday, I didn't get much done around here.  Today I think I better stay home and get back to work on the class projects - especially important since I have a class tonight :)

Have a terrific day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  The flowers are stamped, punch out with matching punch and popped up on the square of embossed white.  Colors are white, black and wisteria.

Still haven't gotten very far on the class projects so I guess I better concentrate on that today.

Have a great day!
