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.

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!
The card - pattern paper is Sweet Slumber (SU) - label shapes were made with nestabilities, butterfly is Martha Stewart punch - colors are sahara sand, baja and ruby red.

Just a little color - stamp is from Echoes of Kindess (SU) - paper is from Razzleberry Lemonade and ribbon is the new polka dot ribbon from SU. Background is the SU top note die on a panel with Cuttlebug swiss dots.
Today - I'm trying to talk myself into getting out and doing some yard work this morning. Hoping to work on some class projects this afternoon.
Enjoy your day!
No stamping on this card. Just pretty paper. This is some of the new Razzleberry Lemonade paper from SU. Flower is a die cut (Sizzix). This is a repeat of a layout I used before. Each layer of the flower is sponged with a bit of color before putting it together.Yesterday at The Scrappy Moose was great fun - we did two classes, one in the morning and another one in the afternoon. I was exhausted at the end of the day - but it was worth it. I have some great ideas to use for class projects - now just need to put those ideas to work and get the projects done. And, of course, there was a little retail therapy involved, so I came home with some fun new things to play with.
Hope you are having a great weekend.
The card - SU's new Melon Mambo. The stamped image is from Echoes of Kindess (SU). I stamped the image on the white card front. I punched a scalloped rectangle on the Melon piece, embossed it with the cuttlebug added some ribbon and pearls and then popped it up on the card front.
Today - I'm going to Delta to The Scrappy Moose and taking two classes from a 7 Gypsies instructor. Woo hoo! I love 7 Gypsies, but can never seem to get the 'look' they do. It's going to be great fun for me to be able to take a class from someone else for a change!
Enjoy your weekend.
The card - Stamp is Flowers in Silhouette (SU) - paper is Urban Oasis (SU) Card is kraft. Pretty simple.
Well, so much for the summer weather. I've never seen June weather quite like this before. Looks like more clouds, rain and being dreary again today. Guess it's a good day to stay in and stamp! Or scrapbook! Or finish up some stuff I started earlier in the week! Or, who knows, maybe something else entirely. (can you tell I really have no plan for the day?) Looking forward to stamping/scrapbooking time with the girls tonight though.
Have a wonderful day!
A little red, white and blue. Not exactly a 4th of July card, but I saw this card somewhere and decided I'd give it a try. The stamp is from Paper Inspirations - oval is nestabilities, butterfly is Martha Stewart punch.
Wow - I think summer has arrived in western Colorado! It has been down right hot the last couple of days. Kind of a shock to my system to go from temps in the 70's and 80's and cloudy days to 90's and sunshine!
Yard work today. Oh boy!
Happy stampin'
I used some of the new SU paper for this card - the printed paper is Razzleberry Lemonade - colors are Rich Razzleberry, Melon Mambo, and Crushed Curry. I used the markers to ink the stamped image (Flowers in Silhouette). The saying is from Simply Said. I used the solid side of the Crushed Curry polka dot ribbon.Today I am going to finish up a project I started yesterday - I am taking all of the saying and sentiment stamps out of the SU sets and sorting them by birthday, thank you, etc. I've never seperated any of my SU sets, but decided there were sayings and sentiments tucked away that I never thought about. So........we'll see how this works.
Enjoy your day!
More new stuff - this card is done with another of the new hostess sets in the upcoming SU catalog. I inked the flowers with the crushed curry marker, then sponged a bit of dusty durango on the edges. I used markers to ink the stems (old olive) and berries (dusty durango).
Get to go to lunch with my friend Kim today - yea! Don't get to see her often enough, so I'm looking forward to it.
Enjoy your day!

Enjoy your day!
Used a favorite 'older' stamp for this card - SU's Happy Harmony. Colors are black and river rock.
Had a lovely, relaxing day yesterday - read a book, took a nap, Jeff took me to dinner at the new Smash Burger place (it was good, but Munchies is still my favorite) and came home and watched a movie.
Not sure what my plan is for today - have lots to do, not sure where to start. Class tonight.
Have a wonderful day!
A clean and simple card today. Stamp is from God's Beauty (SU). I used a blender pen, colored the butterfly with baja. Top is cuttlebug swiss dots, lines were done with the scor-pal.
I'm another year older today. Yep, today is my birthday. Except for going to get a hair cut this morning I have no idea what I'm going to do. I did have a lunch date, but it got changed, so I'm trying to decide what the heck to do with my day. I'm thinking it is a good day to spend in my stamp room. Or reading a book and taking a nap. Or............................? (maybe something wild and crazy)
Have a wonderful day.
A simple card using one of SU's new in-colors and a new stamp set (avaialable July 1) Oval is done with nestabilities.

Enjoy your day.
The card - Stamps are from Verve. Colors are guava and black. Scalloped rectangle is Nestabilities. Pretty darn simple!
Oh my - I had another great "birthday" celebration last night. Deb & Emily took me to Munchies (my very favorite hamburger place) and then to Cold Stone Creamery. Oh yum! AND I have a stack of the new SU in-colors and matching ribbon sitting here to admire! Oh, and then my friend Celisa brought me some of that wonderful pie we had on Thursday night AND some of her husband's oh-so-yummy pizza to have for lunch today! Now how lucky can a girl get? And, it's not even my birthday yet!
I have no clue what I'm doing today. (except admiring my stack of paper and eating pizza) That just may be all I do today.
Enjoy your weekend!
A scrapbook page today! We got to watch Tracy play soccer the night we got to Indiana. The pictures aren't the best - digital is not the best for fast moving objects - but what the heck, it's about the memory, not the quality of the photos.
Today I have to get a project done for our Sheobox Club tonight. Um - guess I better to get to work on that!
Enjoy your day!
Not much stamping on this card. I used some printed paper (SU) for the background and added the die cut butterflies. (SU) Happy Birthday is from Papertrey Ink. Colors are baja and basic grey.
Today - have to go get stuff set up for class this morning, then some errands this afternoon and class again tonight. Busy day.
Happy stampin'
When Deb was here on Friday I got to peek at the new SU catalog (coming July 1) and play with some of the new in-colors. Fun! Thanks Deb! The stamp on this card is from one of the new hostess sets. Love the new polka dot ribbon for the new in-colors too. This color is Rich Razzleberry used with black and old olive. 
The card - Stamp set is God's Beauty (SU). Colors are old olive, and basic grey. I colored the butterfly with baja and the leaves with olive. Striped paper is from SU (Urban Garden)
Today - I am going to give multi-tasking a try. Need to water the lawn, do the laundry and bag 190 card kits for class. I should be able to handle all that, don't ya think?
Hope you are having a great weekend.
I love these new flourish stamps I got from Papertrey. (as if I didn't have enough flourish stamps:) This card is really simple - I just stamped the flourish in celery, added some flowers (prima) and a sentiment (Papertrey)
Today - I really need to get some yard work done, but I have class projects that need to be done by Tuesday so.......... I think I will try to get the class projects done today and I can put off the yard work til next week. What a plan!
Have a wonderful weekend.
The card - stamp is from Echoes of Kindess (SU). Colors are celery, pink pirouette, black and white. I used Pretty in Pink to color the flower.
Today - need to clean up my stamp room this morning. Deb is coming to play this afternoon and Emily and Sherry are joining us this evening. It will be a good day! Hopefully I will get lots done.
Have a great day!
I used a combination of stamps on this card - Sense of Time (clock & saying) and God's Beauty (butterfly) - both SU. Card is vanilla, images are stamped on Kraft and mat is chocolate. Clock pieces are stamped with sahara sand, butterfly and saying are stamped with chocolate.
Back to work today on class stuff. Class tonight.
Enjoy your day.
Stamp set - God's Beauty (SU) My friend Judy S loaned me this set to play with. I love the butterfly in this set. For this card I stamped the images in black and then colored them with a blender pen. (leaves are celery, butterfly is regal rose) The butterfly is cut out and popped up. 
Here's one more card done with the Big Birthday Candle set. (it's on SU's retiring list, so if you think you might want this set it will only be available til the end of the month) I used the birthday embossing folder for the background. Colors are Bashful Blue and celery.
More class stuff today - have to get kits ready for tomorrow night's class.
Enjoy your day.
Here is a card that I did when I was playing around with 'inchies'. I sponged a little blue and green on white paper, stamped some random images with black and punched them out with a 1" punch. Attached them to a white piece leaving a tiny border around each one, then added a black mat and attached that to the card front. Pretty easy.
I didn't get my class kits done yesterday, so that will have to be my priority today since I have class tonight.
Have a wonderful day!
