Project Sunday - here is the 'masterpiece' (hehe) I created last night.  My friends, Eileen and Sue, and I went to a place in town called The Palette.  It was great fun and I had a wonderful time!

I think I'm going to try and get some stamping done today.  It feels like it's been forever, so I'll see if I remember how :)

Have a wonderful day!

Photo Saturday - some spring flowers in my neighborhood

Not sure what I'm doing today.  I need to get some stamping done, but I also need to finish several stitching project samples that Laura needs for market.  Hmmm......guess I'll see what inspires me when I wake up!  Looking forward to a new adventure tonight - going to paint a picture at The Palette with Sue & Eileen.  Should be fun.

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  I punched a circle in the top panel, stamped the leaves in that area on the card front and then attached the panel.  The butterfly is stamped, punched out and popped up.  Colors are olive and blackberry.

Home Sweet Home.  I had an awesome time visiting my daughter Tracy and my friend Sherry, but it's good to be home.  I think I'm just going to take today to regroup - unpack, do a little laundry, etc.  Looking forward to Friday night crafting!

Have a terrific day!

The card - patterned paper, balloon die cut and a birthday sentiment - pretty darn easy.  The die cut and sentiment are from SU.

On my way home today.  Can only hope that the snow and rain they are predicting holds off until I get over the mountains.  Can't delay, have class tonight :)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped flowers are from SU.  Colors are black and honey.

I'm at my friend Sherry's today for just a bit more fun before I head for home.  We're going shopping - wool and stamps!  It's going to be an awesome day I'm sure!

Have a great day!

The card - butterflies are a stamp/punch from SU.  The butterflies are popped up and I added some bling to each one.

On my way back to the Denver area today.  This week has gone by so fast but it has been so good to spend time with Tracy.  Now I'll spend a little more time shopping and stitching with my friend Sherry before I head home.

Have a great day!

The card - more fun with the balloon die cut.  I drew the string with a pen and added a bow with some black string.  The strips of punched paper actually matched the printed paper on the balloon much better in real life :)

Taking Tracy to her Dr's appointment this morning.  We have to pick Tony up at the airport later today and then we'll go out to dinner.  My last day here.....boo hoo!  The week has gone by way too fast!

Have a great day!

Misc Sunday - just a small part of the wool shop we went to yesterday.  It was in a very big, very old house and the owner was ever so nice - she even gave me a tour of the business side of the house (they live in half of it).  They not only do retail, but they have a wholesale side too.  The shop was really awesome and they had the best selection of homespun material I have ever seen (this is a material I like to use for the back of my projects and it's hard to find!!)  Great day!

Today I think we're staying at home and taking a break from shopping and such.

Have a wonderful day.

Photo Saturday - The Life is Good store in Dayton, Ohio.  Oh my.....it was awesome!  AND, there was a Brighton store in the same shopping area - dangerous place, but a very good shopping day!



Today we're going to a wool shop about 45 minutes away.  Could be another dangerous place.....but it's going to be FUN!

Have a terrific day!

The card - super simple one today.  Printed paper. embossed background and a tag with a sentiment.  (all from SU)  Card base is cantaloupe.

And we're off to an outdoor mall in Dayton this afternoon.  Tracy is going to get a massage and I'm going to do some shopping!   Loving this time with my daughter!

Have a wonderful day.

The card - stamped images are from SU.  The background is stamped with smoky slate with some midnight muse and strawberry slush splotches.  The butterflies are stamped then punched out and they are popped up.  

IKEA was great fun yesterday - sure wish we had one of those in my neck of the woods.  (or maybe not!)  Have an end table I need to figure out how to put together this morning and then I have to take Tracy to her dentist appointment.

Have a great day!

The card - more fun balloons.  I just used the die cut and made a group of a variety of colors.  Just fun and simple! 

Trip to Tracy's went well.  Slept like a log last night :)  We're off to IKEA today - love visiting that store - just wish I had room in my suitcase - or maybe that wouldn't be good after all!  Tracy needs some stuff for her house so it's a good place to go!

Have a wonderful day.

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Butterfly and flowers are stamped, punched out and popped up.  Colors are smoky slate and strawberry.

A fun time as always with my friend Sherry.  A little retail therapy, a yummy homemade dinner and some stitching - what more could I ask for.  Now it's time for an early morning flight to Dayton, OH - I'll be seeing Tracy in just a few more hours - yay!

Have a wonderful day!

The card -having fun with a new stamp set and  balloon die from SU. 
Colors are pool party, honey and pear.

And I'm off.......road trip today to the eastern slope to see my friend Sherry.  Then tomorrow she will take me to DIA and I will be flying out to see my daughter Tracy in Dayton, Ohio.  So excited.....it's been almost a year since I've seen her.

Have a terrific day!

Happy Easter everyone!

Photo Saturday - signs of spring in my neighborhood

Off to the grocery store this morning and then it's back to laundry and trying to get things ready for my trip to see my daughter next week!

Have a wonderful day.

The card - stamped images are from SU.  The colors on this card came about because I was trying to match the colors on the washi tape that I had picked up at Office Depot :)  

Have so much stuff to get done in the next two days.......not sure where to start.  But I have Friday night crafting to look forward to tonight, so it's all good!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - butterflies are from SU.  I stamped all three on the panel with black.  Then I stamped another butterfly on another piece of white, colored it with a copic pen, punched it out and popped it up on top.

Another busy day.  Our Wool Gatherer's Club is this afternoon, so more stitching fun for me!  Our Shoebox Club is tonight, but we're celebrating birthdays instead of making cards.
I need to get a couple of things ready for dinner this morning before I leave, so I better get busy.

Have a great day!

The card - a variety of stamps was used for this card - the background 'greenery' is from Hero Arts, the purple flowers are from Paper Trey and the butterflies are from SU.  Colors are old olive and eggplant.

So many things going on this week. :)  Today I have an all-day stitching event which will be fun.  But it will involve some work too, as I have 9 wool applique samples I need to get done for a friend for her to take to market next month.  

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped images and butterfly die are from SU.  The woodgrain background is stamped with smoky slate on smoky slate cardstock.  Leaves and flowers are stamped with old olive, eggplant and primrose.

I have a class tonight and I still need to finish one of the projects - oops!  Not sure how that happened, but I guess I better get that done.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - flower is from Penny Black.  I inked the stamp with markers.  The colors are olive and blackberry (the blackberry is much prettier in real life - it didn't photograph very well)

Off for an eye exam first thing this morning.  Then I'm having lunch with my cousin.  After the fun stuff I need to come home and finish up some class stuff.  It will be a busy day.

Have a wonderful day!

Project Sunday - my February Block of the Month

Need to work on some class projects today.  But then I got an invite to go to Jeff & Sara's for dinner tonight, so that will be fun and something to look forward to!

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - always love to see the first signs of spring

I love modern technology - when it works.  Not so much when there's a problem.  Got a call from the bank yesterday saying my on-line bank accounts had been compromised.  No money lost or no charges, but it still means I have to go to the bank and deal with having all my accounts changed - yuk!  I've had the same checking account number for over 40 years - now that is sad :(    So, that's what I will be doing this morning - doesn't that sound like fun?  Not!

Have a fun and lovely day!

The card - flower is made with two different flower stamps from SU.  They are stamped with primrose, punched out and the top one is popped up.  Sentiment is also from SU - stamped with black on banner die cut (also from SU)

Have a couple of errands to do this morning and then I have an appointment to get my car serviced this afternoon.  Just another exciting day in my life :)   But there's Friday night crafting tonight, so something fun and relaxing to look forward to!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - the butterflies are a SU punch.  Sentiment is also from SU.  The strips down the side are washi tape - I adhered the washi tape to each side of the card front  - the front panel is cut shorter than the card on each side and popped up to leave the washi tape showing.

I got the weeds taken care of yesterday (that was a good thing) so today I think I better work on getting some class projects put together.  Here's hoping I can be at least a little creative today :)

Have a great day!

The card - background stamp is from PaperTrey Ink.  Colors are lagoon, tangelo and kraft.  Add a sentiment and some colored  dots - easy peasy!

Not sure what I'm doing today.  I'm hoping the weather cooperates and I can get out and deal with some weeds in the yard.   We'll see....

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  The flower is stamped with black and colored with Copics.  The butterfly (from SU) is die cut and popped up.

It's time to start thinking about class projects for next month - maybe I can at least start on that process this week.  Need to get the classroom ready for tonight's class.

Have a terrific day!

 

The card - just a lot of butterflies.  Butterflies are from SU. stamped in kraft.  A couple are stamped, punched out and popped up.  The sentiment is stamped, punched out with an oval and popped up.

Have to do a couple of errands this morning, and then  I have to attend a funeral service this afternoon.  A young man (37) from my late husband's family committed suicide last week.  So sad.

Have a good day!

Project Sunday - I was quite productive yesterday - finished this table runner, plus had a wonderful day with the Good Time Girls.  

Not sure what direction my day is going......don't feel terribly ambitious.  Maybe I can at least get some weeds taken care of.......

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - on the Colorado National Monument

The Good Time Girls are coming today - yay!  It's going to be a good (and productive) day!

Have a great day.

A trip to the grocery store and then maybe I can get a bit more sewing done.  Looking forward to Friday night crafting :)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Colors are smoky slate, white and tangelo.

A little of this and a little of that is what my day is going to be.  Need to do some class stuff this morning, go take some pictures for my cousin this afternoon meet Deb for dinner at Munchies in Fruita (my favorite hamburger place) and then come back for class tonight.  Looks like I have enough to keep me busy today :)

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Colors are sahara sand, lagoon and tangelo.  The butterflies are stamped, then die cut and then popped up on the card.


Well, I didn't get anything done yesterday that I thought I was going to do - go figure.  (that actually happens to me a lot)  I ended up going shopping - well, looking, anyway - I didn't buy anything.  I think I was just restless and wanted to be outside in the beautiful sunshine!  It was a gorgeous day.  Now I think I better stay home today and get some of that birthday stuff done :)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - some background grunge stamps from Paper Trey Ink plus an added sentiment. - pretty darn easy!

Not sure what I'm doing today.  I have several birthdays coming up so I probably should work on some stuff for that - so maybe it will be a sewing day.  Or I guess I could go out and deal with some weeds that are popping up in the yard with this warm spring weather.  Hmmm...decisions, decisions.

Have a great day!

The card - a super simple one.  Die cut butterfly from SU and an added sentiment.

Not sure how I've managed to make a mess in several rooms but I need to get them cleaned up today.  I guess I better work on the classroom  first since I have a class tonight :)

Have a wonderful day!

Misc Sunday - ahh.....I actually had on a pair of flip flops yesterday afternoon - love this weather!!!!

Going to my cousin's for a homemade breakfast this morning - she's a wonderful cook, I can hardly wait!  Then I'm going to try and get some more stamping done today before I clean up the mess :)

Have a great day!

Hmmm....Friday the 13th!  Oh my!  Nothing to worry about, it's usually a good day for me - we'll just hope that continues :)   Looking forward to Friday night crafting.

Have a wonderful day!

Since I never got around to it yesterday, it's definitely time to get the laundry done - hopefully I can multi task and get some other chores done too :)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - this is the card I did for our Shoebox Club in February.  The flower is from SU.  I stamped it twice (with strawberry slush) and then cut the center out of one and popped it up in the center of the main flower.  Leaf stamp is from Hero Arts and background stamp is from Kaiser Kraft.  The banner piece on the side is made from vellum.

Haven't quite decided what I'm doing today.  I probably should do some laundry and there's always household chores that need to be done.  We'll see!  I'm looking forward to Friday night crafting though - always a highlight in my week :)

Have a great day!

Have a wonderful day!

Project Sunday - finished this fun and funky table mat this week.  

I really need to focus today......the class stuff  needs to be finished and I'm having a hard time staying on task.

Have a great day!
