will be just delightful!

Project Sunday - this is the calendar topper I did for our Shoebox club a few weeks ago.  The stamps are all from Unity.  I stamped the leaves and pumpkins and then cut them out. 

This morning I am going to work on getting a class project cut and ready for class this week.  Then I will be able to relax and have some fun stamping time with Judy S this afternoon.

Enjoy your day!

Photo Saturday - aw, finally! some wedding pictures.  The photographer put a few of the photos on her blog so I thought I would share.  I'm so anxious to see the rest!  It was such a fun day!

The card - stamped image is from SU.  I inked the stamp with markers using colors to match the strips of paper.  Colors are melon, punpkin, daffodil, olive and pacific point.  Card is black with a white mat. 

Got a little side-tracked yesterday from my original plan - decided it was time to put the summer clothes and flip flops away (boohoo!) so I ended up cleaning out my closet.  Now I need to get back to some regular cleaning today.   (and that is how I end up turning a one-day project into a two-day project :)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - tree image is from Inkadinkado.  Sentiment is Hero Arts.  Small embossed piece was done with folder from Hobby Lobby.  Background paper is from a pad of Tim Holtz paper. 

Today's plans are a little up in the air.  After spending the entire day yesterday in my stamp room I'm thinking I need to do something a little more physical today - maybe I can convince myself to get my house cleaned up - or not - guess I'll figure it out after a little more caffeine. 

Have a great day!

The card - tree is from SU.  I stamped the tree with cajun craze, then colored the trunk with suede.  Colors are white, cajun and suede.  The greeting was stamped before I embossed the panel.

I think it's been raining all night - my driveway is a big lake - at this point it looks like I might need to build an ark to get out - good thing I did my errands yesterday!  It's a good day to spend in my stamp room! (cleaning up will be first on the agenda - I've made quite the mess the last few days!)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped images are from Stamps by Judith.  A simple layout, but dang, those pumpkins are just too cute.  Card is tangerine, black and white.  Pumpkins are colored with copics. 

Need to get some stamping done today - after I clean off my table that is.  The whole room needs a bit of cleaning up and re-organizing, but that will probably be a job for another day.  For today I will settle for enough clean space to get some cards done.

Enjoy your day!

The card - stamped images are from Technique Tuesday.  Colors are kraft, cherry, white and espresso. 

Time to do the last of the fall cleanup in the yard - last day to water the lawn and I guess it's time to pull out the flowers since it's supposed to freeze this week.  Ugh - not ready for it to be that cold! 

Have a wonderful day.

Scrappin' Sunday - Here's a page from Jeff & Sara's guest book.  The page is 8 x 8 with a 4 x 6 photo. 

Had a great trip to Delta yesterday -  found way too much that I just had to have, but I'm excited about my new goodies.  Now I just need to get motivated to sit down and do something with all this stuff!

Enjoy the day!

Photo Saturday - I have a feeling the roses won't be so pretty for much longer.  It's supposed to get down to freezing temps next week. 

Taking a trip to Delta today with Judy S - I need to pick up some paper at The Scrappy Moose.  Looking forward to a fun day!

Enjoy your day.

The card - tree is from SU.  I inked the stamp with suede, then sponged a bit of espresso here and there before stamping.  Embossing folder is from Hobby Lobby.  Card and mats are vanilla.

I'm planning a productive day today - going to spend the day in my stamp room working on class projects and finishing my Halloween cards. 

Have a great day!

The card - stamped image is from Inkadinkado, background script is from Stampabilities, sentiment is Papertrey.  Card is white, mat is red.  Image is colored with Copics.

Need to get myself organized today.  Have a lot that needs to be done in the next week or so and I need to figure out where to start.  The movie yesterday was a fun break - we went to see Footloose - great music and I loved the dancing! 

Enjoy your day!

The card - stamped image and embossing folder are from SU.  Colors are tangerine and suede.

Yard work done - check;  laundry done - check;  house clean - uh...well, two out of three is good enough for me.  I'll get some paper work done this morning and then Judy S and I are going to the movie this afternoon.  It will be a nice break!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - tree is from SU.  I inked the stamp with more mustard, then sponged some cajun onto the stamp here and there.  After I stamped the image I colored the tree trunk with suede.

I am, I really am, going to do some yard work today.  As soon as it warms up a bit.....kind of chilly out there this morning.

Have a grea day!

The card - something a little different - just some squares of patterned paper arranged on the card at an angle.  I embossed the piece after adding the squares. 

I had planned on actually getting out and doing some yard work  today - guess that's not going to work out since it's raining.  Guess I'll go to plan B ........whatever that is.

Enjoy your day!

The card -  I made this one a 6 x 6 card.  Don't make those very often, but it just seemed to work for this one.  The leaf is a die cut, I sprayed it with a bit of water, wadded it up and then sponged a little color on it.  Some strips of paper and a little lace and a sentiment - easy!

Not sure what I'm doing today.  It's the first day in well over a week that I haven't had a committment of some sort.  There's plenty I could do, and plenty of things I probably should do, but.......we'll see.  Guess I'll just go with the flow.

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - a little more fall color from Red Mountain Pass.

A crop day today with the Good Time Girls.  I think I'm going to get started on Jeff & Sara's guest book.  Then we're celebrating Bob's (Judy S' husband) birthday tonight - luckily I got the noodles made yesterday so I will be good to go after cropping all day! 

Have a fabulous day!

The card - stamped image is from Inkadinkado, colored with copics.  Background is embossing folder from Hobby Lobby.  Colors are espresso and tangerine. 

Wow, it's been a long week.  I'm not feeling very ambitious today.  But I do need to do some household chores and go to the grocery.  Looking forward to a relaxing, fun evening stamping with Deb tonight.

Enjoy your day!

The card - stamped image is from SU.  Card is white, layered with printed paper  from Reminisce.

I need to finish up my calendar topper for our Shoebox Club tonight and do a couple of errands today.  Never did get around to the yard work yesterday - maybe today - or tomorrow - or next week.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - flower image and printed paper are from SU.  The stem is stamped on the printed paper, flowers are stamped on vanilla, cut out and popped up.  Colors are espresso, kraft and mustard.

As soon as it warms up a bit I need to get out and deal with some weeds in the yard.  But before that I guess I should see what I can come up with for a calendar topper that I need to have done before tomorrow night.  Switching gears again - it needs to be spring - um - from fall to Christmas and now I need to think spring - this might be a bit of a challenge!

Have a great day!
