The card - super simple - butterfly and dots are from SU, sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.   The butterfly is cut out and popped up.

Should be a fairly quiet day - just need to get a little laundry done and get ready for class tonight.  The jewelry party last night was fun - lots of laughter going on - but I have way too much dessert stuff left over.

Have a terrific day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Colors are white, taupe and dijon.

Whew - sorry for the really late post - my internet has been out since this morning - yikes!  It's amazing how much I rely on my internet - and I haven't had a phone connection either.  I've been disconnected.....  Luckily I've kept busy getting ready for an event I'm having tonight - lots of baking going on so we'll have yummy desserts :)

Hope you're having a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  The flower is stamped on the white piece in black and the stem is colored with green.  I stamped the flower again on watermelon and cut the flower part out and popped it up on top.  The black and white strip is washi tape.

I did get a bit of stamping done yesterday and I think I'll try to get a bit more done today.  I have an event tomorrow night that I need to make dessert for, so I need to figure that out and go to the grocery store too.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - butterfly and leaves are from SU.  I used a brick embossing folder for the background - to get the color I rubbed a tan ink pad over the inside of the folder before I ran it through.

I haven't gotten very far on my stamping..... maybe I can get some done today before I have to get ready for tonight's class.

Have a terrific day!

Project Sunday - finished this table mat just last night.  This one is rather large and has lots of detail on it so it has taken me a bit longer.

Never got around to doing any stamping yesterday - maybe today :)

Have a great day!

The card - flower and leaves are from SU.  They are stamped with black on colored card stock (flower is lagoon, leaves are mossy meadow).  The flower is then punched out, the leaves are cut out.  The flower is popped up. 

Not sure what direction I'm going today.  It's been a busy week and today I find that I have a free day.  Oh my!  The laundry is done and the house is clean so I guess I can do whatever the heck I like :)  Looking forward to Friday night crafting though.  And tonight is football - yay!  Go Broncos!

Have a wonderful day.

The card - stamped images are from SU.  I saw the sentiment somewhere on the internet and I liked it so much I just printed it on the computer and added the stamped images to it.  A pretty simple card.

I need to finish up the class projects, run a couple of errands and then I can enjoy an evening at the Grand Junction Rockies game - woo hoo!  I am looking forward to that - it was so much fun last time......

Have a wonderful day!

Well, I've spent almost the entire week playing and doing fun stuff so.......I guess it's time to actually get some work done.  Classes start next week and I haven't gotten the projects done yet - oops!  Guess I better get busy.  But I have Friday night crafting to look forward to!

Have a wonderful day.

The card - stamped images are from SU.  I made the banner by cutting a triangle and then drawing the pole with a black pen.  the polka dot piece at the bottom is washi tape.

And it's time for another fun day - Judy and I will be going to breakfast shortly and then it's down to Main Street to explore.  It's been too long since we've had a ' local day' so it will be good!

Have a great day!

The card - super simple one.  I stamped some dots, added a sentiment and then added some prima flowers.  As I said, super simple.

Whew, I'm tired this morning.  We had quite the day yesterday.  Turned into a 12 hour drive and then I didn't sleep very well last night.  But, oh gosh, we saw some awesome scenery.  I can hardly wait to go through the pictures - which I'm hoping to do today.  I do have to get ready for class tonight but it should be an easy day - thank goodness!

Have a great day!

The card -  Deb did a card like this for our Shoebox Club last month.  I liked it so much I decided to copy it!  The sentiment is from SU.

And we're off on an adventure today.  Leslie and I are going to cross the border - well, state line anyway.  We're headed to eastern Utah for some photo taking today.  Here's hoping it doesn't rain :)

Have a wonderful day!

Project Sunday - I haven't finished any projects lately, but I wanted to show you this piece - I didn't make this one, my friend Sherry made it for me for my birthday - isn't it awesome?

Looking forward to a fun (and productive) day with my friend Eileen.  We're going to breakfast in a bit and then back here for some stitching - yay!  It will be a good day!

Have a terrific day!

Photo Saturday - at Maroon Bells near Aspen, Colorado

It's time to think about class projects once again.  Hopefully I can do more than just think about them today - that's my goal anyway!

Have a great day!
