The card - a little more of the 'collage' look. I sponged some color here and there, then just stamped a variety of stamps on the background. Celebrate is stamped on a seperate piece of paper and popped up.

Nothing terribly exciting today - a few errands and laundry.

Enjoy your day!

Project Sunday - this is the rag quilt purse I made for my friend Emily for her birthday.



Yesterday was great fun and very productive - the girls brought great food (yummy salad & soup) and I got Tracy's Guest Book album done! Yea! Going to a Bridal Show with Sara today.



Have a wonderful day!

The card - here's another one of the guy cards I did. I used a variety of stamps from Tim Holtz, 7 Gypsies and SU. Top part is a Tim Holtz embossing folder, below that is some tissue tape from Tim Holtz. (I have a ton of this stuff I need to use). Colors are kraft, black and vanilla.

Time to get to work on class projects. If I had any idea what I was doing it would help!

Have a wonderful day!

Have a great day!

The card - I've been trying to get some 'guy cards' done this past week and decided I'd try something a little different. Collage has always been a bit 'out of the box' for me but I thought I'd give it a try. I used a variety of Tim Holtz and 7 Gypsies stamps for the background, then sponged some color here and there. The trees were stamped last.

Need to do a couple of errands this morning and then get ready for class tonight.

Thanks for all the kind comments about the pillow - I'm looking forward to making some more in different colors.

Have a wonderful day.

I had a great afternoon yesterday stamping with Judy S. A nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon! Today I need to get some birthday cards ready to take to the church and get to work on my Valentine cards.

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - this is a rag quilt pillow I made for my friend Deb for her birthday. It was a bit of a challenge since I had never seen it done before so therefore I had no pattern or picture. Amazingly enough I figured it out and this was the result.

I can't believe that this is going to be the last week of January. I guess it's time to start thinking about projects for February classes. Maybe I'll try to work on that today - at least the 'thinking' part!

Have a fabulous day!

Photo Saturday - picture of the full moon that I took from my back yard the other night.

Have some errands I really need to do today - hopefully I can get them done this morning and still have enough time and energy left to get some things done this afternoon.

Enjoy your day!

The card - time for some Valentine's - stamped image and printed paper are from SU. Heart is a sizzix die cut. Colors are real red, basic grey and white.

I guess I need to pull myself out of my stamp room today and get some chores done. It's time to do the laundry - how does that pile up so fast? and there's class to get ready for tonight.

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from Papertrey. Colors are rose red and black.

Haven't figured out exactly what my plan for today is. Have a lot of stuff I need to work on, but another day of stamping is sounding good.

The card - stamped images are from SU. Colors are kraft, suede and vanilla. Embellishment on twill is Tim Holtz.

Today is the first completely free day I've had for several weeks. Whoa - not sure what to do with myself. No commitments, no classes...........plenty of things that need to be done, but nothing pressing. I'm thinking it's a good day to spend stamping. (didn't get to it yesterday) So that's my plan for the day.

Enjoy your day!

Have a wonderful day.

Project Sunday - this is just one of several sample Save the Date ideas I made for Jeff & Sara to choose from. I did this in SU's MDS.

We're celebrating Deb & Emily's birthday tonight - that means chicken and noodles for dinner. That also means I need to get the mess cleaned up that I made last night trying to get birthday gifts finished.

Have a great day!

The card - snowman stamp is from Unity. Colors are marina mist and white.

Shoebox last night was great fun. We had to bring a card that we had made with the stamp from our 'ugly stamp' exchange in December. What a hoot! Have to say, most of the cards were actually very nice! I think mine & Molly's were really pretty ugly cards though. (went along with the whole 'ugly' theme) We also celebrated Deb's birthday with some homemade icecream and cookies. It was a great evening! Now I need to get my stamp room cleaned up so Deb, Sherry & I have a place to stamp tonight.

Have a fabulous day!

The card - super simple - stamped image and embossing folder are from SU. Colors are marina mist & olive.

I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with everything that still needs to be done this week. Guess I should try and get myself organized today, make a plan and get busy. Class tonight.

Have a wonderful day.
