The card - snowflake stamps are from SU. Sentiment is Hero Arts. Colors are marina mist & white.

Need to get these thank you cards I've done in the mail. And get to work on class projects. And get my house put back together after taking down the Christmas decorations. And.......(I'm sure there's more) - enough to do to keep me busy, that's for sure.

Enjoy your day!

The card - snowflakes are from SU. Colors are not quite navy, marina mist and kraft.

Haircut this morning and then a trip to the grocery store. Now how's that for exciting?

Have a wonderful day!

The card - working on thank you cards. Snowflakes are embossed with sizzix (Tim Holtz) folder. Paper is from Bo-bunny.

Exciting news!!! Jeff ( my son) and Sara are engaged! Woo hoo! Sometime in the coming year I will get to be 'Mother of the Groom'.

Have a great day.

The card - Good ol' Lovely as a Tree from SU. The image is stamped with espresso on kraft, then I stamped it again on cream, punched out a section and then lined the punched piece up on top.

Trying to decide how to use my day wisely - need to get started on class projects for next week, but also want to get the Christmas decorations taken down. Oh, decisions, decisions.

Enjoy your day!

The card - a simple thank you card. Snowman is from SU. Colors are navy, white and celery.

I hope everyone had a fabulous day yesterday. I most certainly did. Food and fun and friends - can't ask for more! (and of course the presents!) I really have no plans for today - I may just be totally lazy. We'll see.

Have a great day!

May the spirit

of Christmas

fill your heart with peace,

and your home with love.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

The card - very simple - trees are embossing folder from Sizzix (Tim Holtz). I embossed the trees first, then embossed again with swiss dots. Peace (SU) is stamped with sahara sand. Added some glitter to one of the trees just for fun. It was hard to get a good picture of this one - looks much better in real life.

I think I'm ready - how about you? I just have to make a quick trip to the bakery this morning and then get my house straightened up. Looking forward to dinner out with Jeff, Bob & Judy S tonight.

Have a terrific day!

The card - images are from SU. I was hoarding this paper from SU, not sure why - what the heck good is it doing in a drawer? Card is kraft, accent is cherry cobbler, mat is black. Sentiment is stamped in black with white holly stamped on the background.

A few odds & ends to do today - wrapping gifts is one, laundry is another. I still have a project or two to finish up also. I took time yesterday to make some peanut brittle for the first time. That was kind of fun. It's been years since I made candy at Christmas, but decided I'd give it a try. I was amazed at myself - it turned out the first time and tastes pretty darn yummy!

Have a fabulous day!

The card - another hybrid card - image was printed from SU's MDS. Colors are navy and sahara sand.

Grocery shopping today - not the most exciting thing, but...... they just opened a new grocery store down the road from me and I'm going to go check it out.

Enjoy your day!

The card - stamped images are from SU. The bells are stamped in black, colored, cut out and popped up. Colors are cherry cobbler, vanilla and kraft.

My shopping is done! Yea! (except for the grocery store). I still have a couple of sewing projects to do but I should be able to get those done in the next day or so.

Judy S and I are getting together today for a bit of fun. Breakfast/lunch - shopping/stamping - not exactly sure, but whatever we decide to do it will be fun!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped image is from SU. Background is a Sizzix embossing folder. Colors are artichoke, kraft, suede and vanilla.

Had a wonderful time at Sherry's last night - she cooked a fabulous meal - oh so yummy! And the gifts were awesome - everyone outdid themselves with their crafting talents!

I still have some shopping to do so I guess I will try to get that done today.

Have a wonderful day!

Project Sunday - thought I would show you my Christmas newsletter. I did the entire thing using MDS (My Digital Software) from SU. Good thing my kids have something fun going on during the year or I wouldn't have much to put in a newsletter!

Going to Sherry's this afternoon for our annual Christmas get together. Yea! It will be nice to take a little time off from Christmas crafting for an evening of fun with friends.

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - some Colorado scenery - taken at Rocky Mountain National Park.

'It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas............ ' That song always pops into my head when it snows around Christmas time - and that's what it's doing this morning. Can't believe that Christmas is just a week away - whoa - I better get busy - I still have a lot of projects to finish!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - trees are from SU, sentiment is Hero Arts. The trees are stamped with artichoke, then I sponged some white here and there on the trees and at the bottom to look like snow. The card is sahara sand, mat is black.

In answer to a question yesterday from Louise - the digital program I use for the hybrid cards I've done is My Digital Software (MDS) from Stampin' Up. It's a complete program that you purchase from SU and load on to your computer. It comes with a ton of images (paper, embellishments, punches and stamps) plus they are constantly adding new images that you can purchase to add to your program. It's a great program - there's a ton of stuff you can do with it.

I had a nice little break from crafting yesterday - my house got cleaned (more or less) and I had a great time at our Christmas get together last night. Now it's back to my sewing projects today and then stamping with Sherry tonight.

Have a wonderful day.

The card - a hybrid card today. I don't have have this stamp set from SU, but I do have it on SU's MDS program. So, I just printed it in black on a piece of white paper, added a black mat, ribbon and a little bling.

Taking a break from crafting today. I have friends coming tonight for a little Christmas get together and I really need to get my house in order. Not sure how I can make such a mess with just sewing, but I seem to have pieces of thread in every room in the house.

Happy stampin'

The card - this image is an old background stamp I found in my stash. I stamped the image in kraft, then again in Cherry cobbler. I cut out the squares spelling noel and popped them up, then added some ribbon. How easy is that.

Have to go do some errands this morning. I was on a roll with my sewing projects yesterday and ran out of thread - I hate it when that happens.

Enjoy your day!

The card - stamps are from SU, embossed in gold on black. Rather elegant looking I think.

The Christmas cards are done and in the mail - woo hoo! Between doing Tracy's thank you cards (60) and my Christmas cards (80) I made 140 cards in just a little over a week. Too bad I'm not that productive all the time. I even managed to get some shopping done yesterday so the major items are out of the way. Today I've got to work on some handcrafted / sewing items that I'm doing for gifts.

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU. The holly is cut out and popped up. Colors are kraft, cherry cobbler and artichoke.

I'm trying to decide between finishing my Christmas cards or going shopping today. I guess I'll work on the cards this morning before the stores open and then see how I feel about shopping. Looking forward to Stamp Club with Deb tonight. That will be a nice break!

Enjoy your day!

Project Sunday - this is the project for a class that I did last week. I had great fun putting this together! The 'frame' is from 7 Gypsies, Colorado stickers are from Reminisce.

My table is piled with parts and pieces of my Christmas cards - I'm hoping to get those finished this morning. I'm looking forward to an afternoon of stamping with Judy S.

Have a great day!
