The card -  a simple valentine card with glittery paper, punched out hearts, ribbon and a sentiment..

Need to get a few chores done this morning, go do a few errands and then I can relax and enjoy Friday night craftin' with Deb and Emily.

Enjoy your day!

The card - background script stamp is from Penny Black.  Flowers and leaves are from SU.  Colors are white, pear and wisteria (the colors looks way darker in the photo than they really are)

No wild and crazy adventure yesterday - just a nice, relaxing day with a little shopping and a great lunch!  It was really nice to get away for a few hours, but now it's time to get to work on class projects....that's my goal for the day!

Enjoy your day!

The card - a super simple one - hearts are punched out of Island Indigo (they look way darker in the photo :(

A 'play day' today - Judy S and I are off to have lunch in Delta and check out the quilt store in Montrose.  It probably won't be nearly as wild and crazy as our last adventure, but then again, you never know!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - sentiment is from Savvy stamps, background images are from SU and the watch is from 7 Gypsies (there is a clock in the SU set, I just used a different one)  Colors are espresso, not quite navy, kraft and white.

I think I will try to get some stuff cleaned up in the basement today.  It's quite a mess and needs some attention! 

Have a great day!

The card - flowers and leaves are stamps/die cuts from SU.  Colors are kraft, espresso and vanilla. 

Need to finish up the class projects for tomorrow night and do a few errands.  I'm hoping for a little stamping time today too!

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - this is the Valentine 12 x 12 framed project we did this last week. All of the printed pieces were done in SU's MDS program....I love how you can 'color' the stamps with the new updated version!

Got a little side tracked yesterday...was invited to go to lunch with Jeff & Sara and Sara's parents....couldn't turn that invite down!  So, I still don't have my class projects done for Tuesday.. oops....guess I better get back to work on that today!

Enjoy your day!

Photo Saturday - some interesting clouds as the moon was coming up the other night 

Well, I've had a couple of rather non-productive days so I think I better get to work on class projects that  need to be done before next week. 

Have a great day!

The card - script background is from Memory Box, (stamped with kraft) leaf is a SU die cut (artichoke)  and sentiment is from Savvy Stamps.

Well, yesterday turned into a real 'do nothing' day - read a book, took a nap and went to class last night.  I'm thinking I probably should try to be a little more productive today :)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - a really simple one - heart stamps/punch is from SU.  Colors are white and cherry cobbler.

It feels good to have my house cleaned up - yep, I got ambitious yesterday and did some cleaning!  (well, the upstairs is clean, the basement is still needing some work)  But now I have a rather free day and I'm not sure what I'm going to do....maybe try to get started on class projects for February!  Looking forward to our second Crazy Quilt class tonight at Laura's :)

Enjoy your day!

The card - flowers and leaves are stamp/die cuts from SU.  Background embossing folder is also SU.   Colors are white, primrose and gumball. 

Whew...I got all my work and errands done yesterday.  Good thing, since I have class tonight :)  Now today I can either do nothing, which sounds pretty good, or I can be ambitious and get some housework done!  We'll see what I'm in the mood for!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - playing with some new goodies from SU.  Embossing folder, flower and leaf stamps/die cuts are all from SU.  Colors are limeade, daffodil and indigo.

And another exciting day coming my way.........finishing up the laundry I started yesterday, finishing up the class project for tomorrow night and hopefully time left for a couple of errands.

Have a great day!

The card - a swirl from Papertrey with red glitter hearts.  Colors are white and black.


Well, I didn't make much progress on my class project yesterday but the day wasn't a total waste because Judy S came over and we spent the afternoon stamping.  But I guess I better get back to work on  the class project today :)


Enjoy your day!

Project Sunday - I finally finished this table mat yesterday while we were at Laura's.  It seems like it's been forever since I did any stitching, so it felt good to not only get started again, but to actually finish something!



Today I am going to work on my class project for this week.....it needs to be done before Wednesday so I think it's time!

 

Have a wonderful day!

 

 

 

 

Photo Saturday - snowy scenery on Colorado National Monument

Off to Laura's today for a full day of stitchin'.  Yay! I plan to get a lot done :)

Enjoy your day!

The card - stamped image is from SU, balloon is Martha Stewart punch.  Colors are not quite navy and white.

Oh my, the week is almost over and I really haven't accomplished much of anything all week.    I seem to be in a creative slump...... that's not good.  Maybe today will be better :)  I need to at least figure out what I am going to work on tonight when Deb is here for our Friday night crafting........

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped/punched out hearts are from SU.  Colors are bliss blue, real red and pear.  The scalloped rectangle was made with a nestabilities die.

Running a little late this morning....I was awake at 3 am..ugh...but ended up going back to bed around 4, and then I managed to sleep in rather late for me!  Have a pretty free day today, so I guess it's not going to make a difference and hopefully I will be able to accomplish something on my 'to do' list!

Have a great day!

The card - this is the card I did for our Shoebox Club a couple weeks ago.  Not a lot of stamping, just some cool paper from My Mind's Eye.  (love the glitter)  Sentiment is from SU. 

Looking forward to a new craft adventure tonight - Deb & I are taking a hand-piecing class at Laura's.....we will be learning how to cut and sew parts and pieces of a quilt together by hand.

Enjoy your day!

The card - just some circles embossed with circles.  Sentiment is an old one - I think it's from Daisy D's.  Colors are daffodil, pear and eggplant.

Well, I did get my Valentine's cards done yesterday....that was about the extent of my accomplishments.  I'm hoping I can focus enough today to get started on class projects.  I'm just not very motivated these days..........must be the winter blah's!

Have a great day!

The card - used a variety of hearts from Hero Arts and SU.  Colors are eggplant, melon mambo and pear.

I need to get myself organized today and figure out what I want to get accomplished this week.  Sometimes what I say I want to accomplish and what gets done are two completely different things :)  I'm hoping for a creative spurt so I can get a head start on class projects for February!  And I need to get ready for class tonight!

Enjoy your day!

 Project Sunday? - oops, no project today.  I haven't quite finished any new projects this week....so....this is a picture of a plant that my friend Emily gave me at Christmas.  When she gave it to me it had no flowers, just some green stems.  Within a few days it had these gorgeous flowers on it!

Have no idea what I'm doing today...maybe nothing:)  Lots of things I could be doing, so we'll see if I get motivated to actually do any of them!

Have a wonderful day!

Photo Saturday - another one from our drive over the monument

The Good Time Girls are coming today - yay!  Now I need to figure out what I'm going to work on so I can have a productive day :)

Have a wonderful day!

 The card - background stamp is from Stampabilities, sentiment is Endless Creations, the rest of the stamped images are from SU.   Colors are vanilla, not quite navy and espresso.

Enjoy your day!

 The card - leaves & border are from SU, sentiment is Hero Arts, flowers are from Prima.  Colors are white, pear, and marina mist.

Well, I got my work room straightened up yesterday...now I can at least walk around without tripping over something :)  I think I'm going to try and get some work done in the basement today...there's still Christmas stuff sitting around down there - that's so bad!  Then I will need to get ready for class tonight.

Enjoy your day!

The card - swirl stamp is from Papertrey.  Just added some punched hearts in a variety of colors.  The heart at the bottom is punched out of glitter paper :)

Need to figure out where to start today....my room needs some major cleaning and straightening up done...things got pretty piled up during the holidays and I think it's time to get it cleaned up a bit! (not to mention the mess I've created the last couple of days)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - cup stamp is from SU, sentiment is from Hero Arts.  Colors are kraft, vanilla and cherry cobbler.

Not sure what my plans are for the day just yet.  I did get quite a lot of stamping done yesterday - yay!  I probably should try and get some more done today... we'll see.  It's so cold that all I can think about is staying warm..... I am so ready for a bit of warmer weather.  (at this point anything above freezing would seem like a heat wave)  Can't remember when we've had a winter this cold, for this long.......  Enough whining, I better figure out what I'm going to do today and get started.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - can't get much simpler than this...embossing folder is from SU.  Added a few pieces of bling and a sentiment.  Colors are indigo and white.

A fairly free week coming up....yay!  I'm planning on spending today in my stamp room...hoping to get lots done.

Enjoy your day!

Project Sunday - a pillow I made for Deb for her birthday.  (the flowers are really more of a gold color, they look much brighter in the photo)

Aw....what a day we had yesterday!  The Crazy Quilt class was so much fun.  Today we'll be going back to Laura's for some more stitching and I'll be doing some more work on that project.  The football game was fun...until the end that is...can't believe the Broncos lost that game :(   I was really looking forward to a great post-season, and then hopefully the Super Bowl.  Oh well, there's always next year!

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - Colorado National Monument

Taking a new class at Laura's today - going to learn how do a Crazy Quilt!  Then it's off to Jeff & Sara's to watch the football game - Go Broncos! 

Have a great day!

The card - a little more winter stuff...rather appropriate since we have some new snow on the ground this morning :)  Snowflake die is from SU.  The glitter paper didn't really photograph well, but the blue and silver is really rather striking in real life. 

Need to get the laundry done today, do a few errands and get my work room cleaned up so Deb & I have a place to get some stitching done tonight! 

Enjoy your day!

The card - birthday definition is from Hero Arts.  Balloons are Martha Stewart punch.  Colors are navy and gumball green.

Have a wonderful day!

A full day today...class this morning, stitching at Laura's this afternoon and class again tonight!  Getting back into the swing of things!

Back to work on class projects today.  Hopefully I can finish them up and have time to do a few errands this afternoon.

Enjoy your day!

Project Sunday - another pillow 

We got Jeff & Sara moved yesterday....brrrr.... man it was cold!  But they spent their first night in their new house so all is good!  Now it's time for me to get back to work....I have card class Tuesday and haven't started on the projects yet.  It seems like it's been forever since I've actually done any kind of crafting, so I really need to get back in the groove today!

Enjoy your day!

Photo Saturday - a snowy day on the Colorado National Monument

Helping Jeff & Sara move into their new house today.  They are so excited.  Not sure how much help I will be, but I'm good at supervising :)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - not much stamping on this one.  Label is a die cut from Nestabilities, leaves are a SU die cut.  Colors are white, black, cherry cobbler and artichoke.

Have a wonderful day.

I have had the most fabulous couple of weeks....so much fun!  I'm not ready to get back to real life!  But......I guess I better...lots of things to get done.  I do have to finish up a few gifts because we're doing a Christmas/Birthday party on Friday (I guess the fun stuff isn't over quite yet!)  And I have class tomorrow night.  So, guess I better try to get back into my regular routine today! 

Have a great day!

Wishing you a year

filled with love and laughter.

 

Happy New Year!

Project Sunday - a winter pillow (I'm keeping this one for myself!) 

It was a beautiful drive over the monument yesterday - can't remember the last time I was up there when there was so much snow!   Today is football day - Jeff is making chili and we're going in to watch the game at their house!  Go Broncos!!!

Enjoy your day!

A drive over the monument is on the schedule for today.  Hoping to get some nice pictures!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - balloon punch is from Martha Stewart, sentiment is from Paper Inspirations.  I just punched a bunch of balloons from a variety of patterned paper, some are adhered flat, some are popped up.  I drew the strings with a pen. 

Another big day....Jeff & Sara are closing on their house today and...today is Sara's birthday.   The plan is to go out to the new house after closing so Tracy & Tony can see it.....then dinner out for Sara's birthday celebration.  It will be a fun day!

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Embossing folder on background is from Cuttlebug.  Colors are black & white. 

The kids are going skiing today and I'm cooking (again?!!!)  Have to make chicken & noodles for my daughter......... I'm hoping to get a bit of the mess cleaned up in between cooking....it pretty much looks like a cyclone went through here. 

Enjoy your day!

The card - snowflakes are from SU.  They are stamped and embossed with white, then I sponged a couple shades of blue over them.  The squares are punched out and popped up. 

I hope everyone had a super day yeserday.  I certainly did.  It was a wonderful time spent with family and friends....lots of food and lots of laughter.....awesome!

Have a great day!

 

Wishing you

peace, health and happiness.

 

Merry Christmas

Have a few last minute errands to run today......then I can relax and enjoy dinner at Texas Road House tonight, followed by driving around looking at Christmas lights.  Then it will be time to pick up Tracy & Tony at the airport...woo hoo!  Life is Good!

Have a great day and enjoy your Christmas Eve festivities!

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - lovely Colorado scenery...on the way to Hotchkiss

Yesterday will forever be known as 'Becky & Judy's wild and crazy Christmas adventure'.  What a fun day....laughed so hard I had tears...too much fun!  Today I must get the grocery shopping done...not as much fun, but a neccesity! 

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Colors are white and kraft. 

Time for a break....Judy S and I are having a 'play day' today...yay!  Not sure exactly what we're doing, but lunch in Delta may be part of the plan.
