The card - another one with Judy's scallop flourish from Hero Arts. I used Crushed Curry for this one. White piece is embossed with cuttlebug embossing folder, printed paper is from Razzleberry Lemonade (SU). Happy Birthday is from Papertrey Ink.
Today - a little yard work this morning. A couple of errands and cleaning up my stamp room this afternoon. (somehow I made a mess without really accomplishing anything - how did that happen?) Stamping with friends tonight.
Enjoy your day!
The card - stamp is from Clearly Impressed (Stampington & Co). This is another stamp set Judy S brought over for me to play with - love the images in this set. Image is stamped with Bermuda Bay, Dusty Durango and Crushed Curry.
I haven't made much progress on that long list of things I wanted to get done this week. I think my motivation got lost somewhere along the way. I'm going to look for it (my motivation, that is) and maybe I can get something accomplished today. I'm looking forward to dinner out with friends tonight.
Happy stampin'
The card - stamp set is Thoughts and Prayers (SU) I used razzleberry and old olive markers to ink the stamp. A razzleberry mat and ribbon add a bit more color.
Well, finishing card class in the dark last night was a new experience. The electricity went off just before we got to the last card. The class room is in the basement so it was very dark - but we persevered by coming upstairs and finishing at the dining room table which is by the window. Interesting experience.
Today - have to go get a haircut this morning, then lunch with my cousin this afternoon. Kind of a chopped up day, but hopefully I can do some more work on class projects in between.
Have a wonderful day!
The card - my friend Judy S brought this Hero Arts stamp (the scalloped circle) over and wanted me to figure out what to do with it. What??? Now everyone knows I copy things - didn't have anything to copy - oh no! So.......I saw this layout somewhere and thought maybe it might work. I stamped the image with suede and used the suede dsp from SU. Added a cuttlebug butterfly.
Today - back to work on class projects for next week. Class tonight.
Have a wonderful day!
The card - stamp is from Echoes of Kindness (SU). Background on card is a Quick Kutz embossing folder. Colors are black, white and saffron. Colored the stamped image with celery and a touch of lavender. Used the label punch from SU for the sentiment.
Have a long list of things to get done this week, so I need to figure out where to start today. Had sort of planned on working in the yard, but it rained quite a bit here last night, looks like things are pretty wet this morning. (oh yeah, that's a good enough excuse for me to put that off!) Guess I will do some errands and then get to work on class projects.
Enjoy your day!
This is probably my favorite card I have done over the last few days. Not sure why - I just liked it a lot. Colors are vanilla, cocoa and black. The leaves are from Verve and the butterflies are Hero Arts. The cocoa strip is embossed with a cuttlebug embossing folder.
Today - a little more yard work this morning. Laundry this afternoon and stamping with friends this evening.
Enjoy your day!
The card - SU's Circle Circus set - color is Razzleberry. Super simple - the circles are stamped on white, punched out and added to razzleberry piece.
How can it be Thursday already? The week is getting away from me. I've spent most of it in my stamp room and have to say I have been fairly productive. But........not much else has gotten done. So, today I am going to get some yard work done and try to get caught up on some household chores that I keep putting off. Looking forward to dinner out with some friends tonight!
Happy stampin'
I decided to try the watercolor roses I have seen all over the internet lately. They really are a lot of fun to do and I ended up doing several in different colors. I need to practice though - I tend to 'over blend' and end up with not enough difference in color. This is one I did with Blue Bayou and baja. It doesn't show in the photo, but I sprayed the rose with Glimmer Mist - it also looks darker in real life.
Today - household chores and a trip to the bank. Nothing very exciting - but hopefully some stamping time thrown in there somewhere too.
Enjoy your day.
Something a little different today - I made these inchies into a 6 x 6 card. The inchies were stamped on different colors of paper, layered on black and pale plum, then added to the card front. The stamps are from Inkadinkado.
Not sure what my plan is for today. Have some paper work to do, laundry and ............... Guess I will go with the flow. Class tonight, so need to get things set up for that.
Have a great day!
The card - stamps are from CTMH. Colors are eggplant, plum and mellow moss. I got this layout idea from a new CTMH book called Wishes - it's a great book filled with tons of card ideas.
Need to get some chores done this morning but I'm looking forward to an afternoon of stamping with Deb and Sherry.
Hope you are having a wonderful weekend.
This card was done with Herb Expressions - one of the new sets I got from the new SU catalog. It has some really nice flower stamps and a lot of really nice sayings. I inked the stamp with markers (melon mambo and celery). Ribbon and aceent piece are melon mambo.We had a bit of a surprise birthday dinner for Sherry last night. I made chicken and noodles for dinner and Emily brought a Cold Stone Creamery ice cream cake - oh boy, that was yummy! After a fun dinner I even managed to get my July 4th pictures scrapbooked. Yea! It was a great evening.
I think I'm going to take an r & r day today. It's been a busy week and I haven't had any stamping time. So I may do a little stamping, a little reading, maybe even a little napping. But definitely a "do whatever I feel like" day.
Enjoy your weekend!
The card - swirl stamp is from Paper Trey Ink - I embossed it with white. Butterfly is a SU die. (I used the swiss dots embossing folder after I cut the butterfly) Colors are baja and white.
Judy D and I went to see the movie The Proposal yesterday afternoon. That was the funniest movie I have ever seen - if you haven't seen it, go - you will love it!
More yard work this morning, errands this afternoon and class tonight.
Enjoy your day (and go see The Proposal!)
The card - the background on this card is done with the new embossing folder from SU. Stamp set is Great Friend (SU) - colors are Old Olive, Celery and Razzleberry.
Today - have to get things together for my class this morning, clean up my stamp room this afternoon and then class again tonight.
Have a great day!
The card - I saw this stamp used in a magazine and thought it was pretty darn cool. (it's from Stampers Anonymous) My friend Judy S just happened to have it and let me borrow it to play with! Thanks Judy! I stamped the image in black, on kraft, then stamped it again on vanilla. I used colored pencils to color a few of the squares on the vanilla piece, then cut out the design and popped it up on top of the kraft piece. Added a small border of vanilla - card is soft suede. 
This card uses SU's new Circle Circus set. Colors are kraft (the card), Bermuda Bay, Soft Suede and Crushed Curry. I used the solid side of the Bermuda Bay polka dot ribbon.
Today - let's see - I should go out and do some yard work, but I'm not sure I can talk myself into it today. I think spending the day stamping and/or scrapbooking sounds more appealing. We'll see what happens.
Hope you are enjoying your weekend.
The card - stamp is from Asisan Artistry (SU) Colors are chocolate and riding hood red. Red piece is embossed with cuttlebug embossing folder.
I do believe Deb brought her mouse to my house - how nice of her to share! I had one running all over my living room last night - yikes! Scared me to death as the first time I saw it it ran across the top (yep, the top) of the sofa I was sitting on! Holy Cow - aren't those little buggers supposed to at least stay on the floor? I was just thinking about going to bed, so of course after all that excitement it took a couple more hours for me to calm down enough to even think about going to sleep. I put out several traps hoping to catch it during the night - no such luck! Darn.
Today - need to deal with some weeds in the yard and finish bagging class kits. Class tonight.
Have a wonderful day!
The card - Not much stamping on this one. Card is Soft Suede - mat is Crushed Curry - pattern paper is from Razzleberry Lemonade. I added a tiny pearl to each one of the scallops.
It's supposed to get hot today - I guess it's a good day to stay inside. Good thing, because I have to cut and bag card kits today. Class tonight.
Happy stampin'
The card - flower stamp is from Fifth Avenue Floral - paper is Parisian Breeze. (SU) The blue flower is stamped with chocolate, colored with baja and popped up. I also sprayed it with Glimmer Mist, but it doesn't show in the photo. Colors are baja and chocolate.
Today - yard work this morning, errands this afternoon and class tonight.
Happy stampin'
The card - simple and easy. I used two of SU's new colors, Bermuda and Suede for this card. Stamp is from Pocket Silhouettes. Thank you is from Paper Inspirations.
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday yesterday. We barbecued last night - yummy food, great fun with friends and family. Molly and Judy brought really yummy desserts! It was a very good day.
I am going to take a break from work stuff today and just spend the day in my room doing some 'just for fun' stamping.
Have a wonderful day!
Just a few layers on this one - but I really liked the look. Stamp set is Happy Harmony (SU), colors are riding hood red, black and white.
Had Stamp Club with Sherry last night - woo hoo! It was great fun and she did some awesome cards. Thanks Sherry!
Today - my only 'job' is to go to the grocery store. The rest of the day I am going to spend playing with my stamping friends - yea!
Happy stampin'
A little red, white and blue. I liked the layout on this one. Could be used in a lot of different ways. (the star is an old accu cut die)
I think I am going to try and get my class kits done today. That means a day of cutting and bagging - but if I get it done today I can move on to some fun stuff.
Have a wonderful day!
