The card - flower is made with 2 seperate stamps/punches from SU.  Both layers of the flower are popped up.  Colors are black and white.

Whew - got the class stuff finished, but I have to get in and get the class room cleaned up before class this morning.  (cut that one a little close :)  Have to go get a haircut this afternoon and then back for another class tonight.  Busy day.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - leaf is punched, scrunched up and distressed.  I made the small frame by punching a square in espresso card stock and then cutting around it leaving a border.  I stamped the sentiment on a piece of plain white and attached it under the frame - the frame is popped up. 

Whew, lots to do today.  Have to finish up the class projects, get them cut and bagged, get at least a little stamping done so I have something to post here on the blog and I'd really like to finish cleaning up the yard before it gets cold and rains later this week.  Hmm....guess I'll just do my best!

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - this is a table mat that I finished this week for one of our local stores to use as a sample.  

Looking forward to a fun day - breakfast out with friends and then on to Black Sheep Sunday for a day of stitching!  Yay!

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - sharing one of Jeff's photos today.  He took this on the Colorado National Monument the other night while he was out photographing the full moon. To see more of Jeff's photos go to Jeff's website

I got absolutely nothing done yesterday - the entire day went by and I didn't get the class projects figured out and I never made it outside to clean up the yard.  Oops!  Now I must spend the day getting class projects done.  No excuses today and no getting sidetracked with something else :)

Have a great day!

The card - pumpkins are from Papertrey Ink, sentiment is from CTMH and background splotches are from SU.  The pumpkin on the right is cut out and popped up.  Colors are white, kraft and tangelo.

I need to figure out class projects for next week, but I also need to get some clean-up work done in the yard.  Maybe I can work on both today :)  And, of course there is Friday night crafting with Deb and Emily to look forward to!

Have a great day!

The card - flower is from SU, sentiment is from Stamp A Mania.  Colors are black, white and honey.

Need to put some stitching projects together this morning so I will have something to work on at our Wool Gatherer's group this afternoon.   Looking forward to a relaxing afternoon!

Have a great day!

The card - stamped image is from Inkadinkado (I think)  I stamped it once with kraft, then flipped it over and stamped it again with cajun. 

Didn't get around to doing any laundry yesterday so that is my main goal for the day.  I also have some yard work that needs to be done if it warms up enough this afternoon.

Have a terrific day!

The card - leaf is from CTMH - sentiment is a new stamp I picked up when we out shopping on the eastern slope.  It's from a company called Stamp A Mania and I picked up several different ones just because I really liked the font!  Colors are mossy meadow, honey and cajun.

Need to finish up the class projects today and then get ready for class tonight.  Hoping I can multi task and get some laundry done too!

Have a great day!

The card - sentiment is from CTMH and leaf punch is an old McGill punch.  I punched the leaves from white cardstock, then used a square punch to  make the top layer of the squares.  I cut a piece of colored card stock just a bit larger to mat the leaf.  The squares are popped up.  Colors are honey, cajun and espresso.  

Down to the wire once again.  Class is tomorrow night and I don't have the projects even started.  Well, I have the paper laying around somewhere...... not a very good start, huh?  Guess that will be my goal for the day - but first I have to clean up the stamping mess I made yesterday  :)

Have a wonderful day!

Project Sunday - while we were visiting our friend Sherry, her friend Connie came over to stitch with us and brought this Halloween mask that she had designed for us to do.  It was so sweet of her - she had the whole thing cut out, ironed together and ready to stitch.  She even supplied the glittery pumpkin to put it on!  

Looks like it's going to be a cold, rainy day - perfect for staying in and getting some stamping done and watching a little Bronco football!

Have a terrific day!

Photo Saturday - on Grand Mesa

It's been 17 years since I've lived in a house where I actually had trick-or-treaters on Halloween.  I have to say I was impressed last night - the kids were all polite, said trick-or-treat and thank you and most even added Happy Halloween as they left.  Almost all the kids had parents with them and the parents most of the time added another thank you.  It was a fun evening and I certainly got my exercise getting up and down.  And I even got some stitching done since we also did our usual Friday night crafting :)   Now on to working on class projects today!

Have a great day.

Have a safe and 

Happy Halloween!

The card - leaves are from an old SU set.  The leaves are stamped, sponged, cut out and popped up.  

I ended up getting absolutely nothing done yesterday - how the heck did that happen?  I did have a really nice dinner out with Jeff & Sara and Sara's Mom though!  Tonight I'm going out for dinner again with a friend that is visiting from out of town.  That will be fun.  I guess I probably should try to get something done during the day......or not!

Have a great day.

The card - stamped images are from SU.  I stamped the images and then punched them out with SU's hexagon punch.  The hexagons are popped up.

Think I will try to get started on class projects today.  Hope I can be productive!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - flower is from SU, stamped with black, colored with copics.  Colors are white and calypso coral.  

Not sure what I'm doing today - have some odds and ends of chores that I need to get done so it might be a good day for that.  Then I will need to get ready for class tonight.  Nothing too exciting, but probably enough to keep me busy today!

Have a great day!

The card - stamped image is from SU.  Colors are tangelo and espresso.  

Gosh, I had such a good time over the weekend.  A big thank you to Deb for inviting me and to Sherry for being such a wonderful hostess.  I really don't want to return to the 'real world', but I guess I must.   A trip to the grocery store is a top priority since there is not even a slice of bread in the house.  I'll move on from there I guess.

Have a fabulous day!

On our way home today.   What a fun weekend!  Shopping, eating, visiting and especially spending time with friends.  Couldn't ask for more.  The photos are from a new wool shop that has just opened in Windsor - oh my, my credit card took a hit here.  A great place to shop for wool and patterns!

Have a wonderful day!

Photo Saturday - loved this fall display in Johnstown, CO

Having way too much fun here - shopping all day yesterday - oh my, not good for my credit card :)  But an awful lot of fun.  Ended with dinner at Five Guys (yummy!) and then a little stitching while watching the World Series.  A perfect day!  Now, we're off for a little more shopping and then back for some stitching time.

Have a terrific day!

The card - stamped leaves are from an older SU set.  Colors are starfruit, old olive and cajun.

Having a wonderful time with our friend Sherry!  She is such an awesome hostess.  It's been good to get away from home :)

Have a terrific day!

The card - flower is from SU, leaves are a SU die cut and strip is washi tape.  The flower is stamped in black, colored with copics, cut out and popped up.

Made it to Sherry's safe and sound.  Hit a bit of rain and even a little snow, but all in all a good trip.  Today Sherry has some friends coming over to stitch with us and tonight we'll be cheering the Broncos on!  Feels good to be away from home for a bit :)

Have a terrific day.
