A stamping day today - Judy S is coming over and we have plans to get a lot of stamping done!  Yes!  Life is good!

Enjoy your day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  I inked the background leaves with artichoke and then sponged a bit of mustard on top before stamping.  The card is mustard, circle is vanilla and background newsprint is from SU. (didn't notice the crooked ribbon until I posted this - not sure how that happened)

A little plug today for some friends - if you are local and haven't been to Seasons to Follow you need to check it out!  It's a locally owned shop on Main Street (just east of 6th St).  It's my favorite place to shop for gifts and things for my house.  Now they are  adding some scrapbooking/card making classes and supplies to the store.  Michelle Hahn is teaching classes and doing crops.  They have a very small amount of supplies, but I managed to find some very cool paper and embellishments to buy.  So, go check it out. 

It's been a long and busy week and I am so looking forward to a fun and relaxing stamping evening with my friends tonight!

Enjoy your day!

The card - banner pieces are from SU.  Colors are wisteria, limeade and pool party.

Tonight is our Shoebox club, so that means I need to get my project ready - luckily I have the project done, just need to cut and bag the kits.  

Have a wonderful day!

The card - mostly pretty paper here - used some old Bo-bunny stuff from my stash.  (I really need to start using more!)  Stamped images on the label are from SU.

Have several projects I need to work on so maybe I can get myself organized enough today to get started on one of them.  Have a few errands I need to do before class tonight too. 

Enjoy your day

The card - stamped image is from SU.  I inked the stamped with a variety of markers using colors from the patterned paper.  

Class this morning and again tonight.  A couple of errands in between (and maybe even a nap since I woke up way too early this morning!) 

Enjoy the day!

The card - leaves are from Stampa Rose, (colored with Copics), sentiment is A Muse.  Card is kraft.

Making some chili today, doing some laundry and finishing up class stuff that I never got around to yesterday.  Guess that's enough to keep me busy.

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - this is a class project we did this last week.  Next month we will do a winter themed one.  It fits in a 12 x 12 frame. 

Not sure what my plans are for the day.  Still have to finish up a couple of things for class so I probably should concentrate on that! 

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - a closeup of some fall color. 

I have a group of girls coming to crop today and I am planning on getting my class projects all finished, cut and bagged.   That will be a productive day!

Have a wonderful day!

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Card is kraft with an artichoke mat and peach & espresso accents.

Finish up the class projects, clean up my mess and set up for class tonight - that would be my plan for the day. 


Enjoy your day!

The card - super simple today.  Leaf stamp is from SU, stamped with cajun and then sponged with more cajun.  Strips of paper are from Bo-bunny.  Sentiment is Hero Arts.

Back to work on class projects.  I think I know what I'm going to do, now I just have to figure out the how.   It's a good day to be inside anyway since it's chilly and wet from last night's rain.

Enjoy your day!

The card - tree is from SU.  I embossed it with white on a piece of vanilla, then sponged over it with kraft.  Background is Hobby Lobby embossing folder. Colors are kraft, suede and vanilla.

This week's class projects are all done and ready - yea!  Now it's time to get to work on projects for next week's classes.  I just can't believe it's the first of November - time is going by much too fast!

Have a great day!

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.
