Today's card idea came from the latest Cards Magazine. Loved the simplicity of it and one of my new Verve stamps just fit the bill.

I spent 12 hours scrapbooking yesterday! Wow - it's been a very long time since I've done that. I plan to do more today.

Hope you're having a great weekend!

Good morning! This card was done with another of my new stamps from SU - it's called Pocket Silhouettes. Lots of fun things to do with this one.

Had a great time with Sherry last night - it made up for my totally crappy day! I got almost 2 layouts done last night - just have to finish one up today. My plan is to spend most of the weekend scrapping - so hopefully I will be able to get several more layouts done. That's my goal anyway.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Isn't this just the cutest butterfly? This is another of the Verve stamps I got.

I was on such a roll yesterday - got several class projects done! Yea! That creative spurt caused quite a mess so today I guess I will have to re-group and get things cleaned up a bit. (can't see the top of the tables either upstairs or downstairs - yep, quite a mess!) Sherry is coming to play tonight so we must have a clear table top somewhere to work on.

Enjoy your day!

Another card with my new Verve stamps. Fun stuff.

I am going to be playing catch up today - didn't get much done yesterday. Lack of sleep was my excuse I guess. I need to get class projects done for next week so that is what I'm going to work on today.

Happy stampin'

Another new stamp to play with. This is one of SU's new stamps. I've had a lot of fun with this one.

A little slow this morning - didn't get enough sleep last night. Between the crickets, the lightening and thunder and then the electircity going off I didn't get to sleep until after 2 am. Ugh - I just might have to take a nap this afternoon.

A morning of errands today then I am going to try and get some more work done on class projects. I have one almost finished - yea! Then class tonight.

Have a wonderful day!

New stamps! The flowers on this card are some of my new stamps that I ordered on-line from a company called Verve. Aren't they fun?

The UPS man brought me some great new fall paper yesterday so today I am going to work on getting some new class projects done.

Have a great day!

Something a little different. I scored the lines at an angle on this card - thought it looked kind of cool.

I've pretty much spent the last three days making cards - had a lot of fun playing with new stamps. So, as soon as I get pictures taken I will be able to share them with you. Now I need to get to work on some class projects. Just waiting for some new paper to arrive - hopefully today.

Can you believe this is the last week of August? Good grief, where did the summer go?

Enjoy your day!

Just another "pretty" card.

I got several cards done yesterday and Deb is coming over today so I should get even more done. I should have plenty to post in the coming days. It's been fun playing with the new stuff! Now I just need to take the time to get some pictures scrapbooked.

Have a wonderful Sunday.

Out of my comfort zone with this color, but, heck, I'm willing to try! This is one of SU's new in-colors - Pacific Point. (the darker blue - the light one is Bashful Blue)

Fun with Deb & Sherry last night, but more fun than productive - I only got 2 cards done.

Have a family thing at my cousin's to attend tonight and that will be fun.

Hope your weekend is off to a great start!

Happy stampin'

A little elegance today. Just thought it was pretty.

More yard work today. I did make quite a dent in the weeds yesterday so while I'm on a roll..........

Deb & Sherry are coming to play tonight so I must get my stamp room cleaned up too - oh my - it's a mess! I have new stamps to play with - my order from SU stamp club and I ordered some stamps on-line ( don't do that very often) So I have plenty to keep me motivated for a while.

Enjoy your day!

Good morning! This card is done with another Penny Black stamp that I thought was kind of fun and funky. It also just jumped off the shelf and into my hands at Hobby Lobby one day.

I have run out of excuses for not getting the yard work done, so that is my goal for today.

Happy stampin'

Another simple card that could be used for most any occasion. This is one of the new in-colors from SU.

I had orginally planned to do yard work today but....... I didn't quite finish with my list of jobs yesterday. So, I'm going to work on getting some odds and ends done today and mark those off my list. Then I can move on to yard work tomorrow.

Happy stampin'

An easy card - and I'm branching out in the color combinations. I like this new red color (Red Riding Hood) from SU combined with Choc Chip.

I have a whole list of things to get done today and I'm determined to be able to mark every single thing off my list - what a goal!

Have a wonderful day.

A little bit of summer - I'm really trying to get out of my "color rut". I seem to end up using the same colors all the time, so tried for something a little different with this card.

Not sure what I'm doing today - have lots to do, just not sure where to start. I do have to prepare for class tonight so I guess that will be my first priority.

Have a wonderful day!

Here's another card with this new SU stamp. I ordered this stamp at club and I'm looking forward to playing with it some more when the order comes.

Still haven't gotten my yard work done - I was such a slacker yesterday - just never got motivated enough to do much of anything. Now I'm thinking it will wait til tomorrow. I think Deb is coming over this afternoon so I will get some more stampin time. (way more fun than yard work!)

Hope you're having a wonderful weekend!

Another pretty simple card. Just liked the layout and the colors.

I had a very productive day yesterday - got two class projects done and then Deb came over and I got a few more cards done. Yea! I love days like that.

Must explain a little about my house guests - don't want you to think I'm just ignoring them. They are not here visiting me - they are parents of our friends Scott and Shelley. So they are here to see them and spend time with the grandkids. I am just supplying a bed to sleep in.

Yard work today. Those weeds just will not stay away.

Hope your weekend is off to a great start.

Good morning! I was a little confused this morning - when I woke up the clock said it was only 3:30 am - thought it was strange that it was getting light outside. Discovered that the electricity had gone off during the night and it was acutally almost 6:00. So, no excuse for going back to bed.

I really liked this card when I saw it so had to make one. Groovy Guava and Sahara sand - and the white parts are embossed.

The house is clean, the laundry is done - oh my - what to do now. Gosh, I guess I can spend the day stamping/scrapbooking. Deb is coming over today so hopefully I will have another productive day.

Enjoy your day!

Finally - a scrapbook page! This is one I did last week when Bretina and Ginger came to scrap.

More cleaning today. (only got the basement done yesterday - today I will tackle the upstairs) My house guests should be arriving sometime later this afternoon.

Have a wonderful day!

This is one of the cards I did Sunday during our stamping marathon. Deb let me borrow this new stamp from SU - I love it! The grass is stamped on the background, then I embossed the flower with white. I'm really liking these silhouette stamps.

I am not feeling terribly ambitious today which is not good. I have a class tonight that I need to prepare for and I have to get my house cleaned because I have some guests coming tomorrow. So, I guess I better get started. Ugh!

Happy stampin'

A quick and easy birthday card.

Yesterday turned into one of "those" Monday's and I didn't get done what I should have. Will have to play catch-up today.

The best part of the day was stamp club with Deb last night - great cards as usual - thanks Deb! I will have lots of new goodies to play with - I got a little carried away with my order.

I am off to get ready for class this morning (preparation was one of the things I didn't get done yesterday)

Happy stampin'
