The card - a little of this and a little of that.  The hearts are all punched, the strips are all washi tape.  The stamped circles are from Papertrey.

Have to get ready for class this morning.  Not sure what's on my agenda for the afternoon - plenty to do, just not sure where to start.

Have a great day!

The card - a super easy one.  Letters are die cut, heart is punched and background is embossed.  Pretty darn easy!

How about those Broncos!  What a great game!  Super Bowl Champs - yay!  But now it's time for me to get to work.  I still need to finish the class projects so that is my priority today!

Have a wonderful day!

I've procrastinated long enough - time to get class projects done.  That's my goal for today.  And maybe a trip to the grocery store!

Have a terrific day!

The card - used SU's new balloon punch for this one.  I like the two different sizes.  The 'happy birthday' is from Hero Arts.

I think it's time to do a little cleaning around here.  It's been too long.  Hopefully I can stay motivated long enough to at least get the top layer :)  Looking forward to Friday night crafting!

Have a wonderful day.

The card - one can never have too many 'grunge' stamp sets.  The stamped images on this card are from a new set of grunge from SU.   The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.

Looking forward to an afternoon of stitching with our Wool Gatherer's group and then dinner out with a friend.  

Have a terrific day!

The card -  stamped circles are from Papertrey Ink - stamped with white on kraft cardstock.  Small hearts are stamped with cherry cobbler and sentiment with black.  

I managed to get a little stamping done yesterday, but not as much as I hoped.  Maybe I can be a bit more productive today!

Have a great day!

The card - a super simple one - using up some patterned paper.  Added some ribbon and a sentiment, used an embossed background.  The smaller panel is popped up.

I really need to try and get some stamping done today.  I need to figure out class projects too.  That should keep me busy if I can just get myself motivated.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - some grunge for the background and an added sentiment - how easy is that?  Sentiment is from Hero Arts.

Looks like one of the first things I need to do today is go out and shovel several inches of snow - yuk!  Maybe if I wait long enough my son will come by and do it - hmmm...probably not!  

Have to say Deb, Eileen and I had a great time watching the 'live' performance of Grease last night on TV - what a fun evening!  We even got some stitching done while we we watching!  So glad Eileen suggested it!

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - this was another part of the Christmas gift - it actually is a set of  4 pillow covers.  (the one last week was for winter - this one is for spring).

I think maybe I'll try to get some stamping done today.  We're getting together tonight for some pizza and to watch the 'live' performance of Grease - that should be fun!

Have a wonderful day!

Off to a baby shower for my daughter-in-law this morning.  Haven't been to one of those for a very long time - should be fun!

Have a great day!

The card - some more grunge with a sentiment.

Looking forward to a regular Friday night crafting night - it seems like it's been a long time!

Have a great day!

The card -  Just some strips of flagged paper to make an interesting black and white card.   (hmmmm....this one looked better in real life :)

Not sure what I'm doing today.  Some friends are having a baby shower for Sara on Saturday, I suppose I better go find a gift!

Have a great day!

Wednesday, January 27, 2016

The card - just some grunge in a variety of colors and an added sentiment and bling.  Super easy.

Lots of chores I need to get caught up on today.  Hopefully I can get everything done today and then I'll be able to move onto something a little more fun.

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  I inked the flower with markers.  The small panel is popped up.

Home......brrr......it's cold here.  What a great time I had, but....it's time to get back to real life now.  I'm going to ease into it though - don't have to do much today except unpack and do the laundry and then get ready for a class tonight.

Have a great day!

The card - thanks to Judy S!  I used her idea for a calendar topper last fall and turned it into a card.  Hers was a bit different and I changed it a bit, but I loved the way it came out!

And the Broncos are on their way to the Super Bowl - woo hoo!!!!  I didn't get to see the game because we were on the road, but I did get to see one of the touchdowns when we stopped for lunch - that was fun!  Today we're on the final leg of the trip - we should be home this afternoon.

Have a wonderful day!

Project Sunday - a pillow cover I made for a Christmas gift - sorry, not a good picture - the snowman shows up much better in real life :)

Boo hoo - the end of vacation - on our way home today.  We will be driving back to Mesquite today and then on to Colorado tomorrow.  It's been a wonderful few days!

Have a terrific day!

Photo Saturday - on the beach at Coronado Island, California

Having way too much fun.....loving the warmth - (it's chilly, but much better than the 16 degrees it is in Colorado)  and I've been wearing flip flops - yay!  Today we're actually going to check out a scrapbook store - yep, there are still a few around I guess :)

Have a terrific day!

The card - just a simple card using some pretty patterned paper.  

At the beach - woo hoo!  No snow!!!!!  It is a bit foggy this morning and cool, but still, no snow and the temps are above freezing!  We got to watch the sunset at the beach last night and had 5 Guys for dinner - oh yes - Life is Good!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  The background is sponged with navy and the trees are stamped in black.   The white is a piece of white cardstock torn across the top and added to the top panel.

And our adventure has begun.......we spent the night in Mesquite and will shortly be on our way to San Diego.  Can hardly wait for some warmer weather and the beach!

Have a great day!
