The card - stamp is from Inkadinkado. Colors are kraft and black.
Brrrr- it's cold! But I have to say I'm glad I'm on the western side of Colorado - at least we didn't get 15 inches of snow like they did in Denver - yuk!
Not sure what I'm working on today, but I am looking forward to 'play time' with Sherry & Emily tonight!
Stay warm - and enjoy your day!
A little bit of Halloween today - stamp is from SU - printed paper is from Basic Grey.
More snow? Geez, you'd think it was winter around here. Looking at the weather though, it is supposed to be nice and in the 60's again next week - thank goodness.
Went to the grocery store yesterday, so today I can stay home and be creative. Need to get to work on layouts for scrap class next week.
Have a wonderful day!
Good snowy morning! Yep, that is snow you see falling in the light. Couldn't resist trying a 'night' picture. (although it is morning) What's up with the snow? I'm not ready for winter yet. But, I guess I'm never ready for winter when it comes right down to it. When I win the lottery I'm going to have a condo on the beach in California for my 'winter home'. Yeah, nice thought anyway!!
The card - images are from Autumn Days (SU) Colors are rust, chocolate, mustard. Printed paper is from Autumn Meadows (SU). The large scallops at the bottom are made with a new punch I got in Delta - love it!
Didn't get much done yesterday, so I need to get back in the groove today. Good day to stay indoors anyway - although I really need to go to the grocery store.
Have a great day!
The card - I was digging around in a drawer with some very old stamps in it and found this stamp from Magenta. Thought I would ink it up and see what I could do with it. A simple card, but it was fun. I stamped the image in black and colored it with a blender pen - used soft suede, dusty durango and olive.
Have a lot of odds and ends to get done today - finish the laundry, clean up my stamp room,and get the class area cleaned up for class tonight.
Have a wonderful day!
The card - images are from Trendy Trees (SU) Card is kraft with strips of chocolate, mustard, olive and rust. Fall saying is from CTMH.
It's feeling more like winter outside this morning than fall......brrrr. But it's supposed to be a sunny day, just on the cool side.
I felt like a hermit this weekend - holed up in my work room. But I got a lot accomplished and that feels good. I'm on a roll, so maybe it will carry over for a few more days.
Enjoy your day!
Scrapping Sunday - these are pictures from our trip to the Gateway car museum in August.
I spent all day in my work room yesterday and got two 6 x 6 books done for class projects - wow! That doesn't happpen often (actaully I don't think it's ever happened before!) Today I am going to try and get some chores done and maybe work on some more class projects.
Karen asked what my favorite thing was that I got from my retail therapy on Friday - man, that's a hard one! I can't pick just one, but my favorite two things are probably the photo display stand from 7 gypsies and the printers tray (also from 7 gypsies) I can hardly wait to do something with them. There's also some new embellishments from Tim Holtz (I seem to collect that stuff - really need to start using it!) And of course paper - and it goes on and on!
Hope you are having a fabulous weekend!
A photo today - haven't really had a chance to go anywhere to take fall pictures, so decided I'd have to make do with something from my back yard. It's amazing that I still have roses that are blooming! So, I caught a bit of summer and fall together.
I kind of over did it on the 'retail therapy' yesterday. Judy was much more restrained than I was! But I do have an abundance of new stuff to play with!
Hope your weekend is off to a grand start!
The card - just got this tree stamp from Just for Fun and had to play with it. Background on vanilla piece is script stamp from Glitz. Trees are stamped with soft suede. Card is kraft. Happy Birthday is from Papertrey.
I think Judy S and I are going to Delta this morning - at least we talked about it earlier in the week. I hope that is still the plan - shopping at The Scrappy Moose and lunch sounds good to me! Then stamping with Deb, Sherry and Emily tonight. A fun-filled day for me! Yea!
Happy stampin'
The card - used an 'oldie, but goodie' stamp for this one - Lovely as a Tree (SU) Image is stamped with soft suede on vanilla top note die. Card is kraft.Think I will try to get a little clean-up work done in the yard this afternoon. One more watering before my sprinklers are winterized and then I will be pretty much be finished with yard work for the year - oh yea!
Here is where I found the instructions for the side-step card from yesterday. If you put 'side-step card' in the search box on the left it will take you to the instructions.
Have a wonderful day.
The card - decided I'd try one of these 'side step cards'. Kind of fun! The flower pot was made from an oval, leaves are a die cut (SU). Stamp is Inkadinkado.
Have to go get a hair cut today, then do a few errands. I'm hoping I will be motivated to get started on some class projects this afternoon.
Enjoy your day!
Here's another layout I did during my scrapping spree this last week.
The birthday party yesterday was great fun - saw most of Chuck's family that I hadn't seen in a long time. And it was a great day to be outside enjoying the beautiful fall weather!
Today I will be at Kim's helping her with some last minute packing for her move to Oregon.
Happy scrappin'
The card - leaves are from Autumn Splendor (SU) - stamped and embossed with gold on chocolate. Background is chocolate with mustard accent.
Jeff & I are going to a 90th birthday celebration this afternoon - my late husband's brother-in-law. Amazing guy - still does more at 90 than I did at 50! It will be fun!
Have a wonderful weekend!
The card - this layout is one Dorene did with us at a recent Close to My Heart get together. I was trying to copy her card, but that didn't work out so well. ( I didn't have the same stuff) This is what I ended up with. Swirl stamp is from Papertrey. Give thanks is CTMH. Colors are durango, soft suede and kraft.
I am taking a 'fun day' today! Yea! Judy S and I are going to breakfast (a treat for me - I hardly ever go out for breakfast!) Then back here for some stamping fun! Then tonight dinner with Deb, Sherry and Kim and more stamping! Now, does that sound like a fun day or what? But I have to get in gear and get my room cleaned up - it's a bit of a mess from my 2-day scrapping spree.
Happy stampin'
Wow - a scrapbook page today! Yep, I spent the day scrapbooking yesterday. This is a layout we did in scrap class a while back - I just added the photos. The background paper is from 7 Gypsies.
Since I still have photos all over the table, I think I will try to get a few more pages done today.
Happy scrappin'

Sad to see the Rockies lost last night - darn! I don't follow baseball too much until the World Series, but was hoping the Rockies would make it this year!
Off to get things set up for class this morning, then a bit of a break before class again tonight. Busy day.
Happy stampin'
The card - background on panel is a script stamp then I just added some leaves in baja and chocolate. Pretty easy, but a bit of a different look.
The cards for class are done - cut and bagged and ready for class - Whew! Glad that job is done. I think I will try to get a bit of housework done today - I never finished the laundry last week - oops - and the crumbs need to be swept up off the kitchen floor, etc, etc. I do have Stamp Club tonight with Deb to look forward to though.
Have a wonderful day!
How 'bout those Broncos, huh? 5-0 - wow!
The card - image is from Paper Inspirations. I inked the stamp with markers - soft suede and artichoke. Printed paper is soft suede.
I should work on cards for class today, but I may have to take a break - the whole Christmas thing just isn't working for me. I did several cards yesterday, but don't really like any of them. I hate it when that happens! So I may just do some 'stamping for fun' today and hope that the Christmas mood strikes tomorrow.
Enjoy your day!
The card - more Autumn Splendor. These leaves were stamped with chocolate and bermuda on vanilla and then colored a bit with a blender pen and cut out. The chocolate leaf is popped up.

I have to get a project done for our Shoebox Club tomorrow night. We're doing calendars and I have to do February - so far I haven't been able to come up with anything I like. So, back to the drawing board today and hopefully it will all come together!
Enjoy your day.

Have a wonderful day!
The card - stamped circles are from Circle Circus (SU) Colors are melon mambo, razzleberry and crushed curry.
Have to get the class area cleaned up for class tonight, plus cut and bag the kits. Need to clean up my stamp room too - I did get some stamping done yesterday so the table is rather a mess.

Have a great weekend!
The card - stamp is from SU - paper is from Basic Grey (Indian Summer) The pot is made by cutting off the bottom of the ornament punch from SU. I'm not crazy about this card, but couldn't figure out what it needed. It's one of those "oh well, it'll do" cards!
I got the project finished for tonight's class - now it's on to working on layouts for next weeks scrap classes. Guess that will be my job for today.
Enjoy your day!
The card - finally had some time on Saturday to play with my new Close To My Heart stamps! The flower image came from the stamp of the month and the sentiment from Thank You set. Colors are durango and chocolate.

Have a wonderful day!

I'm back! What a weekend. Too much fun! Now it's time to switch gears and return to real life - darn! That is sometimes a slow process for me, so today I think I will just be unpacking the suitcase and doing a little laundry. Class tonight.
Enjoy your day!
The card - I copied this from a card that Deb did with our Shoebox Club last week. (she posted hers on her blog, if you think it looks familiar) I changed a couple of minor things - didn't have the same flower punch she used so I used a different one. I added the swiss dots embossing to the black mat and used a different sentiment. I also had some black & white dotted paper that I used for the flower centers. The card is caramel, mat is black, top note die is vanilla, sponged with caramel. Not much different, really, but I didn't stamp mine well the night of club, so had to do a different one :) Thanks for the great idea Deb, I loved this card!
On our way home from California today. Wish this trip could have been longer! We arrive this afternoon (hopefully on time) and then I have a class to teach tonight!
Enjoy your day.
The card - Making these 'quilt cards' are a lot of fun so I decided to make a fall one. I used SU's Autumn Vine. The card is rust, emobssed mat is chocolate. Quilt piece is made with SU's top note die.
Today - we are going to San Diego with my cousin Marleen and her family. Should be able to find plenty of fun things to do!
Hope you are having a wonderful weekend.
The card - this is the card I made for the wedding we are attending tonight. Saw this idea somewhere and thought it was just too cute. The blue is one of the colors in Nicole's wedding. The picture below is the inside. I made a holder for a gift card on the top and put the sentiment on the bottom (sorry the picture is kind of wacky) 
The card - image is from Inkadinkado. I inked the image with markers - chocolate, rust, mustard and teal. Happy Birthday is from My Sentiments Exactly. Pattern paper is from SU.
Today - "Leaving on a Jet Plane......................." That was me singing (if you're old enough to remember that song!) Believe me, better for you that you can't really hear me singing. We will be on our way to California (Newport Beach) tonight. My cousin Ron's daughter is getting married, so we are just going for the weekend to attend the wedding. It will be a short trip, coming back Monday. But it will be fun! Tracy is meeting us (Jeff, Sara & I) at LAX, so not only will I be attending a fun wedding (it's a Harbor Cruise), but I get to spend time with both my kids - yea!
So, just a few things to finish up today - water the lawn, pay some bills and pack my suitcase. We don't leave until 9:30 tonight so I have all day to get my act together.
Have a wonderful day
Fall is in the air! I was on a roll with the 'fall' cards the other day. The leaves on this card are from Autumn Leaf Prints (SU) Background paper is from Autumn Meadows (SU) Colors are chocolate, rust and teal.
We had a great Close To My Heart party with Dorene last night! Thanks Dorene! I can hardly wait for all my new stamps to get here so I can play with them.
Today is a fairly 'free' day. No obligations, no classes. So.........I guess I better get some last minute errands done before we leave for California on Friday. Getting a wedding present for the wedding we are attending is my priority!
Have a wonderful day!
The card - this is a new stamp I got from Inkadinkado. I inked the stamp with markers - mustard, rust, teal and chocolate. Used some of my new printed paper from SU - Autumn Meadows.
Today - have a lot of odds and ends I need to get done today. Looking forward to a Close To My Heart stamp party with Dorene tonight!
Enjoy your day!
The card - hadn't used this stamp set (Priceless) in a long time so decided I would find something to do with it. Printed paper is from SU - Cottage Wall. Colors are razzleberry and olive.
I never made it out to do yard work yesterday - ended up spending the day in my room stamping. But.........I got several cards done, so it was a productive day. Today I am going to watch the football game (Go Broncos!) and get this week's class project cut and bagged.
Hope you are enjoying your weekend.
