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

Off to do all the errands I didn't get done on Wednesday because of the freaky snowstorm.  Looking forward to Friday night crafting!

Enjoy your day!

The card - I just got the nestabilities hexagon dies so had to use them :)  A simple black and white card....the polka dot strip is washi tape!

Having a breakfast get together with friends this morning..and I'm cooking...so, I guess I better get started. 

Have a great day!

The card - more washi tape......the center piece is a square that I covered with strips of washi tape.  I added a bow at the top and the sentiment in the center and popped the whole thing up.  Easy!

Oh my gosh....it looks like winter wonderland outside.  There must be at least 4 inches of snow (if not more) covering everything.  Looks rather pretty...but it's supposed to be spring!  I have a whole list of errands to do but I may put them off for another day :)

Have a wonderful day!

eta:  and three hours later its' still snowing and blowing...yep, it's spring in Colorado!

The card - it's amazing what you can find when you are cleaning out a stamp room......this card uses two things I found when I was on my re-organizing spree.  The rose is one I did a very long time ago (it's done on watercolor paper) and the black strips are washi tape.  I decided to put them together on a card and this is what I came up with!

I do still have a bit of cleaning out left to do...mostly some desk drawers and a drawer full of embellishments.  So, that's what I'm going to work on today.

Have a great day!

The card - wreath stamp is from Hero Arts.  I stamped it in black and colored the flowers and leaves with markers.   The border embossing folder(on the right) is from Cuttlebug.  Colors are white, dusty durango, eggplant and mustard.

Need to finish up the laundry today and maybe I'll do a bit more stamping....then it will be time to get ready for class tonight.

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - the last seasonal one for Judy's frame.

I guess my busy week caught up with me yesterday...after a trip to the grocery store and a couple of errands I ran out of steam.....didn't do much the rest of the day.  I think I will spend a nice relaxing day stamping today....the work stuff can wait 'til tomorrow :)

Have a wonderful day!

Photo Saturday - Riverbend Park in Palisade

I need to ......go to the grocery store....do the laundry....get some stamping done.....and finish cleaning up in my work room.  (making progress with that one, but still have some drawers to clean out!).  Sounds like enough to keep me busy today (and maybe even tomorrow :)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - more diamonds (it's an old punch) and some printed paper.  Nice and easy.

Back to work on my room.  I didn't get much done yesterday, but hopefully I will get more done today.  I need to at least have the table cleaned off for our Friday night craftin'!

Have a great day!

The card - the doily image (from SU) was printed on the background using MDS.  Then I stamped the swirl from Papertrey on top of that.  Added a sentiment and a few pearls.  Card is kraft, panel is vanilla. 

I'm making progress on my room.....yay!  Will work on cleaning out some drawers and cupboards this morning, but we have our Shoebox club tonight and I'm cooking dinner so I will have to take a break from organizing and get ready for that. 

Have a wonderful day!

The card - just some pretty paper and an added sentiment.  The border embossing folder is from SU.

Back to work on my room today....I got the wool stuff all organized and neatly put away the other day and now I have to figure out what the heck to do with hundreds (or maybe thousands?) of stamps.  I sure wish they would make the packaging for all those cling and clear stamps the same size. 

Have a great day!

The card - an easy sympathy card - image is stamped in black, sentiment is stamped with kraft.  The wide ribbon is kraft (much lighter than it shows in the picture) on top of a piece of black cardstock with a narrow piece of black ribbon on top.

Well, I discovered at least two things yesterday....I have way too many stamps...and I think wool stuff actually takes up more room than stamps.  The re-do is still in progress but will have to wait til tomorrow...today is a full day with class this morning, stitchin' time at Laura's this afternoon and class again tonight.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - a simple layout with squares of printed paper, some prima flowers and a sentiment.  Colors are vanilla and black.

It's time to do some serious re-arranging in my work room.  I tell ya, this craft stuff multiplies when I'm not looking :)  When you have a stamp room full of stamping stuff and then over a year's time add a whole lot of wool applique stuff it gets totally out of control.  This may be a week long project!

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - a wall hanging for spring

I'm finally making some progress on the class projects - yay!  I'm going to finish that up this morning and then I'll have some time to do some 'stamping for fun' this afternoon.

Have a wonderful day.

Photo Saturday - winter on Grand Mesa

Back to work on class stuff today.  Having a hard time coming up with ideas this month so I'm not making much progress.....must be that 'spring fever' thing again! 

Enjoy your day!

The card - stamped images and oval embossing folder are from SU.  Flowers are from Prima.  Colors are kraft, white and raspberry ripple.

Two 'play days' in a row - wow, what fun!  Now, however, it is time to get some work done!  I really must get my class projects for next week done....that's my goal for the day!

Have a great day!

The card - a diamond punch and some printed paper - super easy.  Colors are midnight muse, marina mist, and limeade.

Working on class projects today.....but taking a break to go to lunch with Deb (that will be the fun part of the day, I'm sure!)

A play day...we're celebrating Judy S' birthday today....starting with breakfast in Rifle (we're heading a different direction this time!)  Who knows what kind of adventure we will have!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped image is from SU - stamped with three different colors....marina mist, limeade and then black.  Butterfly is a Martha Stewart punch.

I need to finish up a few things for class tonight....my first priority for the day.  Then I guess I better start thinking about class projects for next week. 

Have a fabulous day!

The card - music background is from Technique Tuesday, leaf stamp is from Papertrey, sentiment is from Savvy Stamps.  Flowers are from Prima.  Colors are white, black and kraft.

The church secretary has informed me they are running low on birthday cards, so I guess I better get some  ready and take them over today. 

A big Happy Birthday to my friend Judy S today!

Enjoy your day!

Photo Saturday - from my living room window.

Although I'm not sure what the symptons of 'spring fever' are, I think I have it!  I had a list of all the things I wanted to get done this week, but so far I haven't been able to cross many items off the list.....I keep getting sidetracked, or lose my momentum, or just plain can't focus.  What the heck is up with that?  I guess I'll  save the list for next week and just enjoy the nice weather we're having :)

Have a great day!

The card - stamped image is from Just For Fun, butterfly is SU die, embossing folder is from Hobby Lobby.  Colors are white, olive and rose red.

Working on class projects today and since I'm out of bread and peanut butter (my two staples) I need to make a trip to the grocery store!

Have a great day!

Need to get my schedule figured out for this week, but while I'm doing that I think I better get some laundry done.  Hard to believe it's the last week of March already.........

Have a wonderful day!

Project Sunday -  a fun table mat with cupcakes.  Thought this would be fun to use for birthdays :)

I need to get a few chores done this morning, but I think it's pretty much going to be a stamping day.  I really need to get some Easter cards done!

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - from my drive over Grand Mesa the other day.

Off to Laura's this morning for a day of stitchin'........

Have a fabulous day!

The card - the stamps are from Hero Arts.  I inked the stamps with markers then added some background splotches with pear.  Colors are pear, daffodil, marina mist and cherry cobbler.  The panels are popped up.

Working on some wool stuff today -trying to get birthday presents done. Looking forward to craft night with Deb tonight!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - no stamping on this one!  Embossing folder for background is from SU.  Butterflies are a punch from Martha Stewart.  Colors are white and kraft.

Time to clean up the mess I've made from the last couple of days of stamping.  Didn't get quite as much done as I had hoped, but hey, something is better than nothing, right?  Now I need to get some wool applique stuff put together  - need to work on some birthday gifts. 

Enjoy your day!

The card - butterfly is from SU.  I embossed the images in white on kraft and added some ribbon. 
I'm always getting comments asking about the sentiment I've used here.  I got this quite a while ago at Michael's (in the dollar bin).  Because I'd had so many comments about it, I contacted Hampton Arts and asked if it was still available....sorry to say they told me those Studio G stamps they make for Michael's are a limited run, when they're gone, they're gone.

I started out my day yesterday trying to get some stamping done...alas, that wasn't going so well.  So, I decided to go for a drive over the Mesa even though it was a bit cloudy.  But by the time I got there, the sun had come out and there was plenty of blue sky.  Got some pretty decent pictures!  I guess the drive energized me because I had much better luck getting some stamping done last night - yay!  Now, today I think I will see if the luck holds and I can get some more stamping done!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - flower stamp is from SU.  I stamped the flower three times and then punched out different sections of the stamped image.  The embossed border at the top and bottom is also from SU.  Colors are kraft and vanilla.

The taxes are done - woo hoo!  Now I can concentrate on getting some stamping done today...way more fun!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - embossing folder is from Darice, butterflies are die cuts from SU.  Colors are white, daffodil and celery.

Time to finish up paper work and get my taxes done.  I got most of the paper work done weeks ago but have managed to avoid it since.... want to get it done so I can move on to something a little more fun!

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - another seasonal piece for Judy's frame.

I'm thinking it might be a good day for stampin' or stitchin'...or maybe some of both :)

Enjoy your day!

Photo Saturday - sunset last weekend

Another free day...oh my.....I should have had a plan...well, I sort of did.  I was hoping for a nice sunshiny day to drive up to the Mesa to take some snow pictures.  Don't think the weather is going to cooperate..it's cloudy and windy.  But that may change...guess I'll just go with the flow today and see what happens.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - butterfly and sentiment are from SU.  Butterfly is stamped in black and colored with blender pen (baja and daffodil)

Ah....a free day....what to do?  Have no clue, but I'm sure I'll think of something :) 

Enjoy your day!

The card - leaves are from Papertrey, stamped with old olive.  The flowers are from Prima.  White panel is popped up. 

Our Shoebox Club is tonight...and, as usual, I have no idea what I'm doing for a project.  Guess that will be my priority this morning.  Hopefully I can get it done and have time left to do a few errands.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - just some squares of patterned paper, plus some prima flowers and an added sentiment.

Need to get a bit of housework done this morning and get ready for class tonight.  This afternoon I will get to relax and spend time visiting and catching up with a friend I haven't seen in a while..yay!

Have a great day!

The card - butterfly is from SU.  I stamped it in black and colored it with copic markers.  The card base is navy blue.

My main focus today is to get card kits cut and bagged.  Hopefully I will also have some time to get some chores done around the house.  It's going to be a busy week so I need to get myself organized today :)

Have a wonderful day!

Project Sunday - thought these kites would be cute for spring. 

Need to get my table cleaned off this morning...it was a day of stamping yesterday!  Got the cards done for class but made quite the mess in the process (as usual!)  Then it will be time for an afternoon of stitchin' at Laura's.

Have a great day!

Have a great day!

The card - some patterned paper and butterfly punches (from Martha Stewart).  Super simple.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Colors are indigo, real red and limeade. 

Had a wonderful day yesterday...after class at Laura's I got to tag along with my son Jeff and his friend Sue on a photo taking adventure.  What fun...it was a beautiful day to be outside!  Today I guess I better start thinking about class projects for next week.

Enjoy your day!

Need to get the kits cut for class tonight and then I have some sewing to get done before my 'hand pieicing' class at Laura's tomorrow.

Have a great day!

The card - flower stamp is from Penny Black, sentiment is Hero Arts.  Colors are primrose and white.

A new week.....I need to make a plan :)  Today I need to finish up the projects for class tomorrow night and do a couple of errands.

Enjoy your day!

Project Sunday - finished this framed piece this week...something a little different for me.

I think it's time to figure out my class projects for this coming week....have class Tuesday and no idea what I'm doing...yikes!   Guess I better work on that today.

Have a wonderful day!

Photo Saturday - winter on Grand Mesa.

Have a ton of errands that I need to do.....I usually try to avoid shopping on Saturday, but I really can't put it off any longer.  I'm hoping if I go early enough I will miss the crowds......

Enjoy your day!

The card - hexagon embossing folder is from SU.  I embossed several different pieces of patterned paper and cut the shapes out and adhered them to the embossed background. 

Not exactly sure what I'm doing today..... I'm feeling much better so have no excuse for laying around and doing nothing :)  There's an abundance of things I need to do, so maybe I'll just pick one and start from there.  I do need to start thinking about class projects for next week too!  Looking forward to our regular Friday night craftin' tonight!!!

Have a wonderful day!
