The card - just using some patterned paper mixed with solid colored cardstock.  I cut out a separate flower and leaves and popped them  up on the top panel - it's a bit hard to see in the photo.  

A birthday lunch here today.  (not mine)   Looking forward to some relaxing conversation and time spent with friends!  Later today I need to finish up the class stuff I started yesterday.  

Have a wonderful day!

The card - background is sponged with added speckles.  Strip down left side is embossed, striped strip is patterned paper.  Flower and leaves are stamped, cut out and then popped up.  Add a sentiment and some bling.

I need to take a break from cleaning out closets and spend some time in the stamp room.  Class is coming up next week and today is my only free day this week.  That means I need to get my act together and get the class projects done today!  No pressure!  

Have a wonderful day!

Photo Sunday - always look forward to spring and the peach blossoms!  Best peaches ever are grown just up the road in Palisade, Colorado!

Time to mow the lawn and then back to cleaning out closets.  Didn't get much done yesterday because I had a last minute invitation to lunch and then shopping - much more fun than doing chores!

Have a wonderful day!

Haven't quite figured out my plan for the day yet.  So many choices!  I'll figure it out soon, I hope!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - a little monochromatic.  The smaller panel is stamped with the sentiment and then embossed.  Ginko leaves are die cut.  Add just a bit of bling.  Super easy!

Ready to plant flowers!  Got more done yesterday than I expected and even had time to go buy the flowers.  They're sitting on the porch ready to put in the pots.  That's today's job!  

Have a great day!

The card - background is patterned paper.  Smaller panel is decorated with die cut shapes, a sentiment and just a touch o bling.  A good 'guy card'.

Breakfast with a friend this morning.  And then......I think it's time to begin planting flowers -  woohoo!  But, today I just need to go buy potting soil.  Was hoping to get the dirt in the planters today, but it's supposed to rain.  Guess I'll have to play it by ear!  I'm so ready to add some flowers to the yard!!!!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - flowers are die cut from patterned paper and popped up.  The green leaves are stamped directly on the background and the white leaves are die cut.  Add a bit of grunge in the background, a sentiment and some bling in the flower centers.

Odds and ends today.  I'm on a mission to finish cleaning up the mess in the garage - hopefully I can finish that up today!   That's the plan anyway :)

Have a great day!

Photo Sunday - gotta love a free car wash!

Trying to figure out my plan of action for the day.  Leaning towards working on some long over-do straightening up in the garage.  Not sure how I manage to get things in such a mess out there.  But it is at the "I can't stand it much longer' phase.  I've been waiting for it to get warmer and now I have no excuse.  I'll have a bit more caffeine and decide!  

Have a wonderful day!

The card - background is embossed.  Smaller panel is strip of patterned paper.  Top panel is sponged lightly.  Flower and leaves are stamped directly on the panel.  Add a small piece of patterned paper for the banner, a sentiment piece and a bit of bling.

It feels like it's been a pretty laid back week, but I have managed to get a few things done the last couple of days.  Have a couple of errands to do and then I'm thinking maybe some time in the stamp room.  

Have a great day!

The card - dug out a really old 'grad' stamp for this one.  Added the congratulations, some patterned paper and some punched stars.  Easy!

Missed posting yesterday - had a bit of not feeling so great Monday night and all day yesterday!  Yuk!  But much better today - think I'm almost back to normal!  Need to catch up on some chores if I can work up the energy today :)

Have a wonderful day!

Saturday Quote.......lol, I'm pretty sure the carrot cake I had after offset any salad!
