Misc Sunday - Jeff went for a test drive yesterday in this Tesla.  He said it was super cool to drive and now he wants one - hehe - he'll have to save his money for a long time!  If you live in Grand Junction and want to test drive it yourself you can do that at the car show at Canyon View Park today!

Not sure what I'm doing today.  I really need to work on class projects so maybe I can get motivated to do that.  We'll see.

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - sharing one of Jeff's photos (I think this one was taken on Grand Mesa)

Looking forward to a family birthday party later today.  I will get to see some cousins that I haven't seen in several years.  So, it's going to be a fun evening.

Have a terrific day!

The card - stamped images and background die cut are from SU.   Colors are cantaloupe, pear and white.

I spent almost the entire day yesterday out running errands.....it was one of those days when I started out with just one errand and then kept saying...'oh well, as long as I'm out I might as well do ....."    So, today I think I better try to stay put and get some stuff done at home :)

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Colors are honey, daffodil, black and vanilla.

Need to start thinking about class projects - gosh, it seems like I just did that!  Time is going by much too fast and I can't actually believe that it's almost September.  Summer will be over, time to think about fall stuff.  Oh my!

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  The flowers are two different stamps with matching punch.  

Enough with the rain already.  I did get a little yard stuff done before it started raining yesterday so that was a good thing.  But it's been raining this morning and is supposed to rain even more so there's not much chance I can get anything done outside today.  Guess I need to find something else to do today!

Have a terrific day!

The card - I used SU's hexagon punch for this one.  Not a lot of stamping, just some punched hexagons, a little ribbon and some small punched flowers.  Colors are white and baja.

Good grief, they are predicting more rain today.  Enough already!  I want to get the rest of my yard cleaned up.  Maybe I can get a bit done this morning and hope the rain holds off for at least a little while.  We'll see.

Enjoy your day!

The card - just 3 stamped panels..... stamped images are from SU.  Butterflies are punch from Martha Stewart.  Can't go wrong with black and white, one of my favorite color combos!

I finally got some yard work done yesterday.  Whew!  Didn't get as much done as I had hoped, but I didn't want to overdo and be wiped out today.  Hopefully I'll get some more done later this week, but I have a birthday dinner to cook tonight so I need to get to work on that!

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - aw....finally a finished project.  This is fairly large and will be in a frame.  (the small leaves are really green, not sure why they look so yellow in the picture).

Gosh, I sure hope we see some sunshine today.  I'm tired of the rain and the gloom.  Not sure I'll get out to work in the yard, but I still want to see some sunshine!!!!

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - sharing one of my son's photos again today.  Mt Evans in Colorado.

And once again I had planned on spending the day getting the yard cleaned up - and once again the weather is not cooperating.  I didn't realize it was going to rain most of the night - and they are predicting more rain during the day today - good grief! I thought we were supposed to have some nice sunny weather this weekend.  (shows you what I know!)   I guess I'll figure out another way to spend the day - plenty to do, that's for sure.  There's always stamping or stitching too!

Have a great day!

The card - flower is stamp/punch from SU.  I layered two of them together for a little more dimension.  The 'leaves' are just flower petals that I cut off of a flower I punched from solid paper.  Colors are baja and white.

Well, darn!  I had talked myself into finally getting out in the yard today and now the weather is not cooperating.  The wind is blowing and we're supposed to get more rain - ugh!  Hmmm....guess I need to re-group and figure out another plan for the day.

Have a terrific day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Colors are kraft, black and white.

Not sure what my plans are for today.  I probably should try to get some yard work done since the rain interfered with that the other day.  But I do have class tonight so I will need to get ready for that at some point.  hmmm...guess I'll just see what I can talk myself into today.

Have a great day!

The card - background and flower are from SU.  Colors are smoky slate, lagoon and tangelo twist.

Off for a full day of stitching today.....yay!  Need to get a few items put together this morning before I leave that I want to get started on and I also have a project I'm hoping to finish today.

Have a terrific day!

The card - flowers are all stamps with matching punches from SU.  Colors are kraft, daffodil, coral and soft sky.

Well, I had planned to work in the yard today ......just my luck they are predicting rain.  Maybe I can get at least a start on some weeds this morning before the rain comes (if it actually does).

Have a super great day!

The card - flower is from SU.  Strips are washi tape.  Colors are white and lagoon.

Have a lot of odds and ends of chores to get done today.  I'll also have to get the stamping mess cleaned up in the classroom since I have class tonight!

Have a wonderful day!

Misc Sunday - sharing one of Jeff's photos taken last week in the Colorado mountains

I finally got quite a lot of stamping done yesterday - Kellie, Sue and Eileen kept me focused all day, so I was productive for a change - yay!  Today I need to finish up card kits for class - I think that's a good job to do while watching the Broncos play today!

Have a wonderful day!

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Butterflies are Martha Stewart punch and striped piece is washi tape.  Colors are white, kraft, blushing bride and pear.

Have several things I probably should work on today - the rest of the card kits still need to be cut and bagged and I still have yard work that needs to be done.  hmmmm.... guess I'll just see what I'm in the mood for.

Have a terrific day!

The card - not much stamping here.  Background embossing is from Sizzix.   Sentiment and ribbon are from SU and flowers are from Prima.  Strips of color under flowers are washi tape.  

Rain, rain and more rain.  Sure glad I went and took care of the errands I needed to do earlier yesterday afternoon.  Tonight is our Shoebox Club but we're celebrating a birthday instead of doing cards so all I have to do is a little meal preparation.  It will be a fun evening!

Have a wonderful day.

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Colors are blackberry, pear, black and white.

I really need to get caught up on some stuff today. Still need to finish cutting and bagging card kits and then it will probably be time to get ready for class tonight.

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images on the background are from SU. A fun and simple layout that could be done in any color!

Class this morning (and I still have to cut the kits!) and then class again tonight.  I am so far behind!  Better get busy!

Have a terrific day!
