One more inchie card. I didn't use actual inchie stamps for this one. I started with a white piece of cardstock - sponged some baja and copper on it - stamped some random seashell images over that with baja and copper - used a small background stamp with writing here and there - punched 1" squares from different sections - sponged the edges of each square with baja and then put it all together and added some copper embellishments. These are really fun to do, I'll be playing with these inchies some more!

Yesterday was great fun and a much needed break. Now today it's back to work - really have to get in the yard and deal with some weeds. I haven't even started trimming the rose bushes yet and they should have been done by now. Oh well, they aren't going anywhere, I'll get to them eventually.

Have a great day!

Another inchie card. This card was done the same way as the one I posted yesterday. Images are from Inkadinkado, stamped with black on shades of red, sponged on the edges with brown. Just a bit of a different layout.

A fun day today (I really need one!) Judy S and I are going to Delta for lunch and shopping. Yea - I'm really feeling the need for a day away.

Happy stampin'

Playing with inchies. (1" squares) Judy, Alison and I stamped a bunch of these images from Inkadinkado one night. Then I needed to figure out what the heck to do with them. This is my first attempt at an inchie card. Each image was stamped in black on different shades of blue, and punched with a 1" square punch. Then each square was sponged with dark brown. I embellished a few of the squares with brads, etc and then just matted them on a black piece of paper and added that to a blue card.

Have chores to get done today and class tonight.

Have a wonderful day.

Went back and dug out this Upsy Daisy (SU) set to play with - hadn't used it in quite a while and it was fun to try and do some new things with it. Colors are kiwi and chocolate.

I'm so glad it finally rained last night. But it's probably too wet to do yard work today (that's my story and I'm sticking to it!) so I think I'll try to work on some class projects for next week.

Enjoy your day.

Photo day - haven't posted a photo for a long time. This was a picture I took at sunset one day last week.

Hope you are having a fabulous weekend.

A new SU set - Soft Summer. I used the outline part of this set and colored it with a blender pen. I stamped it a second time and cut out the flowers, added a brad and popped them up. Colors are chocolate, vanilla, riding hood red and white.

No real plans for today. It's supposed to rain so that gives me an excuse for not doing yard work. Didn't really want to anyway. Guess I will spend the day stamping - and maybe I can get started on some class projects.

Have a great weekend.

Quick & easy today. Cuttlebug embossing folder with a couple of stamped butterflies and a sentiment (Papertrey Ink) Colors are baja and blue bajou.

Today -who knows. I am looking forward to play time tonight though. It will certainly be the bright spot in my week.

Enjoy your day!

Verve stamps - prima flower - SU patterned paper - swirl die cut (sizzix) - scalloped rectangle from nestabilities. Colors are basic grey, kiwi and not quite navy.

Oh what beautiful weather we are having! It's supposed to be in the 80's today. It really is time for me to get out and get some yard work done. Maybe today.

Have a great day!

Verve stamps - SU paper - Martha Stewart butterfly punch. Scalloped rectangel is nestabilities. Colors are baja and kraft.

Linda is coming to make up a class this morning - then I'll see if I can talk myself into going out and getting started on the yard work........or maybe I'll put it off til tomorrow. We'll see.

Happy stampin'

More pink - I ended up doing several cards with these colors (rose romance & sage) since I had them out on my table. Flower stamps are from Gelatins - birthday is from Papertrey Ink. Butterfly is a Martha Stewart punch.

We're celebrating my friend Molly's birthday tonight, so I'm cooking today. It will be a fun evening.

Enjoy your day!

This is an old Penny Black stamp that I played with the other day. Need to dig through my drawers of stamps more often - never know what I'm going to find! Colors are rose romance and sage shadow. Cuttlebug swiss dots on the left, then used the Scor-pal to make the lines in the middle. Happy Birthday is CTMH.

Have a long list of things to get done today and then class tonight.

Have a great day!

Verve stamps, SU paper. Colors are not quite navy and kiwi.

I ended up playing in my stamp room all day yesterday. Dug out some old stamps and played with some new ones - had a great time and got lots done. Yea! Today I am going to get some not so fun chores done (like laundry) so I will be ready to conquer the coming week!

Hope you are having a fabulous weekend.

Here's another card done with stamps from Papertrey Ink. (Life) Colors are Mellow Moss and Perfect Plum (haven't used those colors in a very long time)

Have no clue what I'm going to do today. Maybe nothing. I should rest up this weekend because the weather is supposed to be really nice next week and that means I will need to start on yard work. Warm weather sounds really nice - yard work, not so much!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Nice and easy - Verve stamps - riding hood red paper. Scalloped square is made with nestabilities.


Need to get some chores done today. Playtime tonight and I need to figure out what I'm going to work on.


Enjoy your day!

Playing with some new stamps from Papertrey. This set called Life is really a fun one. Colors are kraft and black.

No brads - no ribbon - oh my! Just a simple layout using SU's Fifth Avenue Floral stamps and Urban Oasis paper. Images are stamped with baja and kiwi.

Need to do a little paper work this morning, then I think I am going to spend the day stamping - need to get cards done and get started on some class projects.

Happy stampin'

Can't really say this is one of my favorites, but I liked the layout (think it came from the SU catalog). Colors are sahara sand, chocolate and sage shadow. Flower is SU. (Echoes of Kindness)

Class this morning and again tonight. Maybe I can get a little stamping done in between.

Have a wonderful day.

SU's Fifth Avenue Floral in black & white.

Cutting and bagging card class kits today - an all day job. Stamp Club with Deb tonight so I have a fun evening to look forward to.

Enjoy your day!

May your days be sunny

Happy Easter

Today is house cleaning day. It's past time. If I get myself in gear maybe I can get it done and then have time to stamp later.
