Scrappin' Sunday - this is my first attempt at a 2-page digital layout.  (using SU's MDS)  It's a very simple layout,  but I discovered it was more time consuming than I had thought it would be.  I need to work on figuring out some ways to make it go faster :)

Well, I only got one of the things done yesterday that I had planned on.  Got the grocery shopping done and that was it.  Not sure why, but I had absolutely no energy yesterday - spent most of the day reading a book.  Guess I needed a rest.   Hopefully I can get a little more accomplished today.

Have a great day!

Photo Satuday - a view of the grand valley and bookcliffs taken from Colorado National Monument.  My house would be a tiny little speck behind the rocks on the left :)

Time to get serious about class projects.....and go to the grocery store....and maybe get some laundry done....and then tonight maybe I can get some stitchin' done too!

Have a beautiful day!

The card - very simple.....stamped image is from Inkadinkado.   Colors are black, white and pear.

Had quite the productive day yesterday....now I have to clean my table off before I can do even one more thing.   Time to think about class projects for May too. 

Enjoy your day!

The card - stamped image and embossed frame are from SU.   Colors are white, black and razzleberry.

Wow, this week is going by much too fast!  It's been nice to have a week with not a lot of commitments, but it doesn't seem as if I've gotten much accomplished.  That's ok though, it's been rather relaxing.  I do need to get some stamping done though, so that's my goal for the day. 

Have a wonderful day!

The card - the stamped image is from Inkadinkado.  I embossed the image in white on some Tim Holtz printed paper, then sponged some kraft here and there.  The sentiment is from Hero Arts.  Colors are kraft, marina mist and vanilla.   Guess this one will just be a sample - discovered I had the writing on the paper upside down!

The 'simply enjoy it all stamp' that I've been using is a Studio G stamp, made by Hampton Art.  It is a wood mounted stamp and I found it  in the display bin of $1.00 stamps  at Michael's. 

A play day today - Judy S and I are going to breakfast and then a little shopping.  Oh yes - life is good!

Enjoy your day!

The card - tulips are from Hero Arts.  (sorry, not a great picture, but if I lightened it up it turned the pink a funny color)  Colors are kraft, pirouette pink and vanilla.

I think today is going to be a stamping day.  Running out of cards to post so I better get some done, right?  At some point I do have to put the basement back together since I have class tonight.  (we used the tables and chairs for the dinner on Saturday and it just needs to be straightened up) 

Have a great day!

The card - script stamp is from Stampers Anonomous, sentiment is $1 stamp from Michael's, flower is from Penny Black.  Card and strip are both vanilla, and both are sponged with kraft.

Gosh, it seems like I have a fairly free week coming up....oh my....I guess I better make a plan or else I will end up wasting the week away. 

Have a beautiful day!

Project Sunday - one more finished applique project.

I've had a great time the last couple of days visiting with cousins I haven't seen for over 20 years.  Have a bit of cleanup to do after yesterdays event, but then I'm spending the rest of the day doing something fun....stitching, stamping, maybe both!

Have a wonderful day!

Photo Saturday - sunset on Thursday night.

Another memorial service this morning - this one is in town and the dinner after is here at the house.  (luckily I don't have to do the food!)   So, I'm off to do a few last minute clean-up jobs!

Have a great day!

Going to a memorial service in Eckert this afternoon.....never a fun thing, but I will be seeing some relatives that I haven't seen for a very long time, so that will be nice. 

Have a great day!

Cold and wet this morning....had no idea it was going to rain last night....sure glad I didn't get around to washing my windows yesterday :)  Need to get a little housework done this morning and then get ready for class tonight.

Yard work today......no more excuses.  I did get the mess in the basement cleaned up yesterday - woo hoo!  About time :)  So, today I will start trimming the rose bushes.

The card - paper, flower and vase are part of the new smooches line from SU (the stamp set is called Bright Blossoms).  Sentiment is from Endless Creations.  Colors are black, red, limeade and white. 

My original plan was to start on the yard work today, however it's cold and still wet from the rain, so I guess I shall get some household stuff done instead.  The mess in the basement is still there so I think I will tackle that this morning and then get ready for class tonight. 

Enjoy your day!

The card - stamped image is from SU.  I inked the stamp with markers, then used the oval embossing folder from SU.  Then I punched it out with a Marvy scalloped punch and added a layer with a bigger scallop punch.  The paper is from Fab Scraps.  Colors are razzleberry, artichoke and vanilla.

Oh my, so many things to do I'm not sure where to start.  Guess I better finish bagging the class kits first and then move on from there.  Maybe I can even multi-task and get some laundry done at the same time :)

Enjoy your day!
