The card - stamped images are from Hero Arts.  Colors are eggplant and white.

Loved the rain last night and this morning - it smells so fresh and clean and is good for my lawn!    Much better than just the dreary, cloudy days we've had.  I think today might be a good day for stamping!

Enjoy your day!

I need to get myself organized today and get caught up on some household chores.  Class tonight.

Scrappin' Sunday  - a simple layout - a start on the wedding album.  There's going to be a lot of simple layouts in this album - too many pictures to do anything else.


It's been a long and busy week - I'm feeling the need for a little down time.  Maybe some stampin' for fun today!

Enjoy your day.

Photo Saturday - signs of spring.  I love it when the trees are full of blossoms.  Think we've been lucky this year that the wind didn't blow them all away before this.

Crop day - the Good Time Girls are coming - yea!  I plan on getting started on Tracy's wedding album.

Have a fabulous day!

The card - A collage card - thought this would be a good 'guy card'.  Tim Holtz stamps stamped randomly on a cream panel.  I used Distress Inks to stamp the images.  Card is kraft, panel is vanilla.

A few errands this morning and then I must get my stamp room cleaned up so Sherry & Deb will have a place to stamp tonight! 

Enjoy your day!

The card - Stamped images are from SU.  Colors are not quite navy and espresso.  I sponged the top piece very lightly and the floral image is embossed in white.

Have a great day!

It's supposed to be sunny and a bit warmer today so I think I might try to get outside and deal with some weeds before they take over the driveway.  Looking forward to Stamp Club with Deb tonight!

Enjoy your day!

The card - A bit of a collage look.  Sponged background with Tim Holtz distress in.  Stamped random images with black and embossed white.

Finishing up class stuff today - the cards are done but I still need to cut and bag.  Whew - it will be nice to have that job out of the way.

The card - the colors on this card are a little 'out of the box' for me, but I just love this ribbon so........colors are daffodil, melon and pacific point.  The stamped images (from SU) are actually builder wheel stamps.  Since I don't have the wheels for these I removed them from the wheel, mounted them on EZ mount and use them with clear blocks just like the cling stamps. 

Have some sewing projects to get done and errands to run today.  Class tonight.

Enjoy your day!

Scrappin' Sunday - a layout with pictures from a trip to Denver last summer.   The background is one we did in scrap class, I just added the pictures.

Back to work on class projects today - it seems my creativity wasn't in very good working order yesterday - I mostly stared at paper and moved it around a lot!  Not good!

Have a great day!

Have to take a break from the de-cluttering for a while - it's time to get class projects done for next week's classes.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - flower is from SU, sentiment is from Papertry.  Colors are kraft, pear and white.

Why is it so hard to get rid of clothes?  Good grief!  I have a closet full of stuff I haven't worn for a very long time, but I can't convince myself that I might not want to wear that really cool shirt I've had for 15 years some day........ after I lose 20 lbs, of course.  Ok, today I am going to be ruthless......


Enjoy your day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Colors are white and pretty in pink.

More de-cluttering today - have a closet in the basement that needs some serious attention.  

Enjoy your day!

Have a great day!

The card - stamped image is from SU.  Butterfly is Martha Stewart.  Embossing folder is Tim Holtz and Bakers Twine is from papertrey.  Colors are kraft, baja and espresso.

Have a great day!

The card -  butterfly is from Hero Arts, sentiment is A Muse, not sure about the flourish.  Colors are pear, black and saffron.

Thanks to my techie friend I think the whole picture thing is fixed now.  Whew!    I really need to focus this week and get some things done.  I have a whole week free - no commitments  - and that doesn't happen very often.  Household chores, class projects, I have quite the list of things to do!

Have a wonderful day.

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Colors are espresso, riding hood red and white.   (I really need to get some more 'projects' and scrapbook pages done to post on Sundays:)

Still thinking about cleaning house - but thinking about it is as far as I've gotten.  Somehow it just doesn't sound like fun.  Maybe I can motivate myself to get started today - or not!  I did get some stamping done yesterday so the day wasn't a total loss.

Enjoy your day!

A note:  The picture of the card doesn't seem to be showing up on the published post - I have no idea what the problem is - sorry 'bout that!

Photo Saturday - a bit of a different view of Grand Mesa.

Clean house today?.....um...maybe.  I'm leaning more towards stamping.  We'll see what the decision is after I finish waking up.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped images are from SU - sentiment is from A Muse.  Colors are kraft, celery, and black.  The image in the center was embossed in white on the printed paper, then I sponged a bit of kraft on top.

Whoa, when I said yesterday that I needed some sunshine, I should have said I needed sunshine and no wind!  Holy cow - I thought we were going to get blown into Kansas yesterday (I think some of the shingles from my roof probably ended up there!)  It was not nice.   Hopefully today will be better. 

A couple of errands today and then class tonight.

Enjoy your day!

The card - flower image is from SU, sentiment is A Muse.  Colors are concord and pear.

Oh, spring, spring, wherefore art thou?   It's supposed to be windy and cloudy again today - yuk!  I need to see some sunshine!    Also need to get things cleaned up and organized for class tonight.  But I do have a lunch date with a friend today so that will be a nice break.

Have a fabulous day!

Have a great day

What's up with the winter weather?  I just broke out the flip flops, now it's cold, raining and dreary.  Ugh!   Good day to stay in and get some household chores done I guess.  (or take a nap and read a book!)

Have a wonderful day!

May soft be the grass you walk on,

May fair be the skies above you,

May true be the joys that surround you,

May dear be the hearts that love you.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

A new look for the ol' blog.  What do you think?  I was trying to get away from plain and boring - might have gone a bit over the top.    I think it might be a work in progress so you may see more changes.   I also changed the comment  section - it's much easier now to leave a comment!

A play day today!  Judy and I are off to Delta for lunch and a little scrapbook retail therapy!  Yea! 

Have a wonderful day!

The card - background stamp is from First Edition - leaf and butterflies are Hero Arts. Colors are kraft, and pear. I used copic markers to color the butterflies.

Not sure what my plans are for the day.......maybe after a little more caffeine I will be able to come up with a plan. (or not!)

Have a great day!

Scrappin' Sunday - well, at least it's the beginning of a scrapbook. This is what I spent the day yesterday doing- sorting and organizing photos from Tracy's wedding. They are all organized now - I'm ready to start putting them on layouts!

The last week has been a busy one - I'm ready for a little r & r today. Maybe a little stamping.......

Enjoy your day!

Photo Saturday - sunrise on Wednesday.

This is the first picture I took with my new camera. I did my taxes early (for me!), anxiously waited for my refund, got it! - and ordered my new camera - a Canon Rebel T1i! I'm so excited! I had SLR cameras for years when film was still the thing - when I switched to digital I thought I would like having a smaller camera. I do love my smaller ones, but have wanted a digital SLR for a LONG time! So......I splurged. I did only get the body (without a lense) since I have 3 lenses from my film cameras that will work. So, the camera came on Tuesday - my excitement for the week!

The Good Time Girls are coming to crop today - fun! I am going to start working on Tracy's wedding album - have a ton (over 600) photos to work with so it is going to be a major project.

Have a wonderful day!

I have a big pile of stamps downstairs that need to be sorted and organized - since they're piled all over the tables I need for class tonight I guess it's time to get that organizing job done!

Enjoy your day!

Have class tonight so need to get the kits cut and the class area cleaned up.

Have a great day!
