Mostly white on white - just a little bit of color. I used the cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder on the background - scalloped rectangle is nestabilities, used the scor-pal to border the rectangle layered on top. Stamp is from SU (Peaceful Wishes)

More Christmas decorating today, then clean-up. My in-laws are coming to watch football this afternoon so I will need to get everything finished up this morning. I got the upstairs and outside done yesterday and then Jeff and his girlfriend Sarah came and helped me decorate the tree last night. Now I just have to clean up the mess downstairs.

Happy stampin'

Forgot when I did my post this morning that I planned on showing you this photo. Couldn't resist taking this - this is what my back yard looked like yesterday morning after all the rain. I have a low spot in the middle of the drive and I always end up with a "lake" after a lot of rain. The reflection of the trees just looked pretty cool, so I had to take a picture.

Scroll down for today's card.

White on white - I'm loving the look of this. Swiss dots and snowflake are from cuttlebug - scored lines are done with the scor-pal. The snowflake is popped up. Peace stamp is from Hero Arts.

I am going to get started on putting up the Christmas decorations today. Maybe if I work really hard I can get it all done in one day - it's a nice thought anyway.

Hope you are having a wonderful weekend.

Good morning! Our rain hasn't turned to snow yet, but it is beginning to seem a bit more like winter! Hence, this card today. Used SU's top note die, siwss dots embossing on the background, SU's Seasonal Friendship stamp set and Baja Breeze. The snowflakes are embossed with white. This card would not have been possible without my friends - the die is Deb's and the stamp set is Sherry's! Thanks, guys!

Did everyone have a wonderful day yesterday? I certainly hope so. Mine was the best! It was a great Thanksgiving Day. We ate (too much!) and played games all afternoon! Judy S brought a new game (well, new for us) to play and it was great fun - we laughed a lot! It was perfect. (well, I guess it could only have been more perfect if Tracy had been here!)

I am taking a play day today. Sherry and Judy are coming over this afternoon to stamp and Emily is coming this evening. I am going to get a lot done! (that's my plan anyway)

Enjoy your weekend.

A time to give thanks....................

Happy

Thanksgiving

No stamping on this card! Just paper, ribbon and die cuts. Paper (artichoke & mellow moss) & ribbon are from SU - leafy embellishment is a Sissiz die - ovals are nestabilities.

Need to run to the store for some last minute items for dinner tomorrow and get the house in some sort of order. I'm looking forward to tomorrow - it will be a fun day!

Happy stampin'

I saw this card in blogland and just had to copy it. Kraft paper seems to be one of my favorites these days so that's probably why it appealed to me. Snowflakes along the side are from a SU wheel - ribbon and sentinment are also SU. The snowflake punch is an old one I've had for a very long time.

I made a very small dent in my long list of things to do this week. I did make it to the grocery store, so I at least have almost everything for Thanksgiving dinner. Yea! Always glad to get that job out of the way.

Enjoy your day!

An easy thank you card. Printed paper is from CTMH, flower stamp and sentiment are both Hero Arts. The flower stamp actually came with another sentiment on it - I cut that piece off so I could change the sentiment for each card.

I had planned on spending the day in my stamp room yesterday, but my son Jeff invited me to his house to watch the football game and I decided that sounded like a good thing to do. The game was bad (very bad) - the Broncos lost - but I got to watch them lose on a big screen TV. It was a nice break and I enjoyed spending the afternoon with Jeff.

I have a long list of things to get done this week. This month has gone by way too fast - can you believe that next week is the first of December? Yikes!

Have a great day!

All SU today. Printed paper is from the Urban Garden line, stamp is from Pocket Silhouettes. Colors are basic gray, Not Quite Navy and vanilla.

I'm having one of 'those' weekends. Yesterday was ................(not sure what word to use to describe it) .......strange, frustrating, and a little bit of fun. Judy S went with me to Delta - that was the fun part. Judy always makes the day a happy one. There was a bit of mis-communication about the time class started and we ended up being an hour early (frustrating) Class was a bit strange. And then I got a speeding ticket on the way home - very frustrating! Today doesn't seem to be starting out much better - I have no water this morning. What's a girl to do? I guess I will spend the day in my stamp room.

Happy stampin'

Very simple winter card. I used an old SU set (Nature's Secret) for the stamped image, added a cuttlebug snowflake and some swiss dots for the background.

I'm teaching in Delta today so I guess I better get my stuff together for that. I have a whole new appreciation for all the SU and CTMH demonstrators who have to pack up all their stuff to do a home party!

Have a great weekend.

This card uses one of SU's new dies - the top note die. Deb let me play with hers last week and I used it on several cards. This one is done with Sahara sand and old olive.

So much to do - where to start? Have class here tonight and then I'm teaching another class in Delta tomorrow. So, I guess class preparations will be my priority today.

Have a wonderful day.

Are you ready for Christmas/Winter cards? I'm not sure I am. I was going to wait til after Thanksgiving to post these, but I have quite a few so thought I'd better start.

How many of you remember this cute polar bear stamp? It's a very old SU set that I have always liked. So, I dug it out and here's what I did with it. Nice and simple.

Happy stampin'

I used one of Roni's stamps (SU) on Friday night to make this card. Loved the color combination - Blue Bayou - River Rock and chocolate. (SU)

I took advantage of the wonderful fall weather yesterday and spent a good part of the afternoon working outdoors. It felt good to get out of the house and do something physical for a change.

Enjoy your day.

Here's another card with SU's Season of Friendship stamp set. Colors are sage, rust, mustard and chocolate. Almost time to move on from fall cards to Christmas cards.

Have Shoebox club tonight so need to get my project together - I'm going to get that done this morning and then I may spend a little time in the yard this afternoon. I should be taking advantage of the beautiful fall weather to get the yard cleaned up a bit.

Have a great day!

I love the colors in this line of paper from SU (Green Tea) and just got it last week. So, of course I had to play with it right away. Here's just one of the cards I did with it. (copied of course) Stamp is Pocket Silhouettes from SU.

I had a very productive stamping weekend. I have enough cards done for a while that I can move on to getting some class projects done (hopefully!) and try to get myself motivated to start working on Christmas stuff.

Happy stampin'

I got this package of paper from SU (Urban Garden) and I just had to play with it. I love the colors in this line - used Not Quite Navy and Baja Breeze on this card. Stamp is Upsy Daisy from SU.

One more day of stamping today. And maybe a little cheering for the Broncos - if they do anything worth cheering about! One can only hope.

Have a wonderful day.

Simple fall card. Paper is from Bo-Bunny, stamp is from Inkadinkado and stamped with Kaleidacolor.

A sad bit of news today. Most of you who know me personally also know my friend Kim Warne. Kim's Dad lost his battle with cancer and passed away yesterday morning - peacefully, at home, with his wife and kids around him. Please keep Kim and her family in your prayers.

More stamping for me today. I am trying to get enough cards done to post for the next couple of weeks so I can concentrate on class projects and get started on Christmas cards and gifts. (well, it sounds good anyway!)

Enjoy your weekend!

Deb got this card in a swap and I loved the layout so I copied it. I added the swiss dots on the background but the rest is the same.

I had a great stamping day yesterday. It was so nice to do something besides class kits for a change. I finished my Thanksgiving cards plus got several other cards done. Yipee.

I started doing some Christmas cards - I told my daughter Tracy I would be happy to help her out by making some for her (didn't know she needed 70 of them - oh my!) I've had a hard time getting in the mood to do Christmas - do you suppose it's because the weather has been so nice? I really don't want it to be time to do Christmas yet. But it was kind of fun to pull out some old Christmas stamps and see what I could do with them. So I am planning another stamping day today - Roni is coming over tonight so that will keep me motivated.

Happy stampin'

This is a card I did last week when Deb was here. The background is done with the scor-pal, ovals are nestabilities, stamps are from Verve. Colors are chocolate, kraft and Saffron and saraha sand (SU)


Well I managed to finish the last 150 card class kits yesterday - woo hoo! Now I can take a break from cutting and bagging for a few days! I am going to spend the next few days getting Thanksgiving cards finished, work on some cards for the blog and maybe work on a new class project. Way more fun! I think I do need to squeeze in a little laundry and so forth too!

Have a wonderful day!

OK - so this color combination is definitely out of my box but rather interesting don't ya think? I copied the layout but changed a couple of things. Butterfly stamp is from Verve.

More class prep today. Boy will I be glad to get that finished. If I can get it all done today I can take a break from cutting and bagging for a couple of weeks. Yea!

Enjoy your day!
