Project Sunday - just finished this fall piece this week.  It's ready to go in a frame.  

Got totally sidetracked yesterday and ended up running errands most of the day.  That meant none of the household chores got done so guess what's on the agenda for today.

Have a great day!

Time to get some chores done around here - laundry would probably be at the top of the list.  Not a very exciting plan, but it's the best I can come up with this morning :)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - this is the card I did for our Shoebox Club last week.  The stamped images are from SU.  The window is die cut and popped up.  I added some ink to the brick embossing folder before embossing the panel.


Not sure what I'm doing today.  Have so many things to do that I can't decide where to start - oooh, sometimes that doesn't make for a very productive day.  Oh well.......  I am looking forward to Friday night crafting though.

Have a great day!

The card - a super simple one today.  The leaves are a Tim Holtz die cut.  I smooshed them up a bit and sponged a bit of here and there.  The leaves are popped up along with the sentiment.

And I'm off to do some errands today.  I will have to get the work room cleaned up and ready for class tonight too.  I got a lot of stamping done the last three days, but I feel like a hermit - I need to get out and move around today!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - butterfly is from Hero Arts.  I stamped it with black on mint card stock, then added a bit more color with a mint marker.  I stamped some grunge on the white panel and added a bit of tan ink to the brick embossing folder before embossing.  The black strip is washi tape.

I think I will do a little more stamping today while the mess is still on the table.  I'm on a roll, so might as well stick with it!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - just a bit of fun.  The cupcake is from SU.  The lines on the square are drawn on with a marker after the sprinkles are stamped at the bottom.  The cupcake is popped up.

I had a very productive stamping day yesterday.  Now I'm trying to decide if I want to continue and do some more stamping or switch it up and get some stitching stuff together today.  Hmm.....guess I'll decide after I take a shower and am ready to proceed with the day :)

Have a terrific day!

The card - flower is from SU - stamped in black, colored with markers.  The strip down the side is patterned paper.  I added a strip of SU's new ribbon to the bottom (not sure why it looks so blurry).  Colors are taupe, white and black.

A fairly easy week coming up so I'm going to try and get lots of stamping and stitching done and maybe some yard work and some household chores too!

Have a great day!

It's time for some Bronco football!  My friend Shelley and her boys brought me these shoes a while back - aren't they just the best?  Too cool!

I won't get to watch the entire game today - it's also Black Sheep Sunday - that means breakfast with Eileen and Deb and then an afternoon of stitching!  But I'll catch the end of the game when I get home.

Have a wonderful day!

GO BRONCOS!

I'm hoping to get motivated today and do some stamping.....but I'm also in the mood to take a drive.....we'll see what I decide.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - leaves are from Close To My Heart, stamped in honey and cajun, cut out and popped up.  Sentiment is from SU.  Background is some wood patterned paper.  Super simple.

It's been a fairly busy week, but today I have a bit of a break.  I was trying to think of something fun and exciting to do, but somehow I haven't come up with anything.  Maybe I'll just try to get some stamping done :)

Have a great day!

The card - flowers are from SU, sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.  The green strip is a piece of patterned paper.  The leaves were stamped on mint macaron paper with mint ink and then cut out.  The flower was stamped with mint, punched out and then popped up.

Tonight is our Shoebox Club and, as usual, I don't have a project ready.  Hmm....guess that's what I will be working on today!

Have a great day!

The card - flower is from SU, sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.  Colors are white and watermelon.

Going to a stitching class this afternoon, so I need to get my act together this morning so I'll have something to work on.  I probably should get ready for class tonight too, so I won't be in a rush when I get home!  Another busy day!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped images (except for the sentiment) are from SU.  Sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.  Colors are mint macaron and white.

Need to get ready for this morning's class, run a couple of errands and then get ready for class again tonight - a busy day!

Have a great day!

The card - tree is from SU.  The tree and falling leaves are stamped directly on the panel, the top of the tree is stamped, punched out and popped up.  The panel is also popped up.

I have a lot of odds and ends of chores to get done today,  It's going to be a fairly busy week, so I need to be prepared!

I hope you all have been enjoying your holiday weekend.  I can hardly believe it's Labor Day - summer has gone by much too fast for me!

Have a wonderful day!

Project Sunday - another fall pillow

I cannot let myself get sidetracked today - it's time to get the class projects done.  That's my goal for the day!

Have a wonderful day!

Wow - the thunder, lightening and rain kept me awake for quite some time last night.  So, now I'm getting my day started a bit later than normal.  But, I'm hoping to get some stamping done as soon as I can keep my eyes open :)

Have a great day!

The card - not much stamping - just some punched clouds (from fiskars), a balloon (Martha Stewart), an embossing border and some string and a simple sentiment.   How easy is that?

I really need to get  to work on class projects plus do a couple of errands and finish the laundry.  Looking forward to Friday night crafting tonight!

Have a terrific day!

The card -  flower and background are from SU.  Colors are taupe and white.

Off to our Wool Gatherer's group this afternoon -  I just need to get my stuff together this morning so I will be ready to stitch!

Have a wonderful day.

The card - stamped images are from SU.  The 'cone' is cut out and popped up and the icecream scoops are punched out and popped up.  

Really have no plans for today.  Hmm....I guess that means I need to figure out what to do...........

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  The 'sun' is stamped in the background, the 'clouds' are stamped, punched out and popped up.

Need to get things ready for class tonight and hopefully get a few chores done - getting the laundry done would be a good thing :)

Have a terrific day!

The card - just a lot of swirls - stamped images are from Papertrey Ink.  I just stamped the swirls in different colors and added some twine and a sentiment.

Need to finish up class projects today and run a couple of errands.  Hopefully the rain will hold off until I finish the errands :)

Have a terrific day!

Project Sunday - getting ready for fall - this one is going to be a pillow.

Going to try and get class projects done today - haven't been very motivated, but since class is on Tuesday, I think I better at least get started.

Have a wonderful day!

Gosh, I can't believe it's the weekend!  Time is going by way too fast.  I probably should try and get some work done on class projects.   We'll see.......

Have a great day!

The card - a simple flip flop/summer card.  The flip flops are from Papertrey Ink, cut out and popped up.  The square is just a fun piece of patterned paper I found in my stash.

I got totally sidetracked yesterday - but maybe today I can get some stamping done - or some stitching - or not!  I seem to be totally unmotivated - hmmm.  I am looking forward to Friday night crafting though.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - a bit of fun!  I stamped the images on the panel BEFORE I embossed it.  I rubbed a bit of ink on the inside of the embossing folder to make the 'bricks' stand out a bit more.    

It's a bit dreary out this morning - we're finally getting some rain, which has cooled things off , but I'm not fond of dreary.  Good day for stamping I guess - and I need to get some done, so that may be my plan for the day.   (can you tell I didn't really have a plan for today!)

Have a great day!

Thanks for all the encouraging comments.  I had a nice long phone visit with my daughter yesterday - she is home now and feeling better.  I will be going to stay with her in October while her husband is gone to see his parents.  And Jeff and Sara were here for dinner last night - lots of talk about the coming baby which is fun.  All is well!!!!!

The card - flower is from SU.  I stamped the flower with black, colored it with copics, cut it out and popped it up on the script background piece.  Sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.

OK, I've officially lost it.  If you noticed that there was no post yesterday.......I forgot to post!  Yes, I had internet, I just forgot.  Now, I have to say, that has never happened before.  Too many things to think about I guess.

I do have some really fun, good news - I'm going to be a Grandmother...first time...yay!  I'm so excited.  My son Jeff and his wife Sara are having a baby in March.

The news on my daughter is not so good, however.  Tracy has been dealing with 'warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia' for over a year now.  They were going to schedule her for surgery to have her spleen removed in the near future.  However, when she went in for her regular appointment on Monday, they found she had blood clots on her lungs.  She is in the hospital for a few days, but should be released in the next day or so.  She will be taking blood thinners, which means the surgery will likely be postponed for several months.  I can only imagine how frustrating this is for Tracy and as a mother it is hard to know my child is suffering. I have the best son-in-law in the world, however.  Tony has been marvelous and I am so grateful that Tracy has such a loving person there for her!

Enough.......just wanted to fill you in on what is happening in my world.  (now you can see why I might have forgotten one little post :)

Have a great day!

The card - images are from SU.  The flowers are stamped, punched out and popped up.  The leaves are stamped directly on the flagged piece.  Colors are kraft, mint and honey.

Probably better start thinking about some class stuff.....it's hard to believe that fall is coming!  I'm not ready for the end of summer - I better enjoy the rest of it while I can!!!!  And what better way to enjoy a summer evening than a baseball game - looking forward to attending another GJ Rockies game tonight!

Have a wonderful day!

Project Sunday - August 'Block of the month"

Aw.....what a fun weekend.  Too much shopping, my pocket book took a rather large hit.  But, what the heck.  It was great, but now I'm home and need to regroup today so I can be ready for the coming week!

Have a great day!

Having a great time in Denver!  Yesterday we drove up north and went to the wool shop - it wasn't in our original plan, but we made a last minute decision.  Then we headed downtown and did a little shopping at the 16th Street mall, and then dinner at Hard Rock Cafe.  Today we're headed south for shopping at the Container Store and Ikea - yay!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - ice cream cone images are from SU.    Colors are kraft and watermelon.

And I'm off on another adventure - just a short one this time.  Eileen and I will be on our way to Denver shortly.  Have been wanting to go to The Container Store and Ikea so we decided it was time!  A short trip  - over the mountains today, spend the night and back tomorrow.  It will be fun!

Have a great day!

The card - super simple - butterfly and dots are from SU, sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.   The butterfly is cut out and popped up.

Should be a fairly quiet day - just need to get a little laundry done and get ready for class tonight.  The jewelry party last night was fun - lots of laughter going on - but I have way too much dessert stuff left over.

Have a terrific day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Colors are white, taupe and dijon.

Whew - sorry for the really late post - my internet has been out since this morning - yikes!  It's amazing how much I rely on my internet - and I haven't had a phone connection either.  I've been disconnected.....  Luckily I've kept busy getting ready for an event I'm having tonight - lots of baking going on so we'll have yummy desserts :)

Hope you're having a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  The flower is stamped on the white piece in black and the stem is colored with green.  I stamped the flower again on watermelon and cut the flower part out and popped it up on top.  The black and white strip is washi tape.

I did get a bit of stamping done yesterday and I think I'll try to get a bit more done today.  I have an event tomorrow night that I need to make dessert for, so I need to figure that out and go to the grocery store too.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - butterfly and leaves are from SU.  I used a brick embossing folder for the background - to get the color I rubbed a tan ink pad over the inside of the folder before I ran it through.

I haven't gotten very far on my stamping..... maybe I can get some done today before I have to get ready for tonight's class.

Have a terrific day!

Project Sunday - finished this table mat just last night.  This one is rather large and has lots of detail on it so it has taken me a bit longer.

Never got around to doing any stamping yesterday - maybe today :)

Have a great day!

Not a lot going on this weekend,  so I think I'll try to get some stamping done and maybe even work on some class stuff!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - flower and leaves are from SU.  They are stamped with black on colored card stock (flower is lagoon, leaves are mossy meadow).  The flower is then punched out, the leaves are cut out.  The flower is popped up. 

Not sure what direction I'm going today.  It's been a busy week and today I find that I have a free day.  Oh my!  The laundry is done and the house is clean so I guess I can do whatever the heck I like :)  Looking forward to Friday night crafting though.  And tonight is football - yay!  Go Broncos!

Have a wonderful day.

The card - stamped images are from SU.  I saw the sentiment somewhere on the internet and I liked it so much I just printed it on the computer and added the stamped images to it.  A pretty simple card.

Have a wonderful day!

Photo Sunday - I haven't finished any projects this week so I'm just going to show you another photo from our trip to eastern Utah.  This picture was taken at Canyonlands National Park.

Well, I've spent almost the entire week playing and doing fun stuff so.......I guess it's time to actually get some work done.  Classes start next week and I haven't gotten the projects done yet - oops!  Guess I better get busy.  But I have Friday night crafting to look forward to!

Have a wonderful day.

And it's time for another fun day - Judy and I will be going to breakfast shortly and then it's down to Main Street to explore.  It's been too long since we've had a ' local day' so it will be good!

Have a great day!

The card - super simple one.  I stamped some dots, added a sentiment and then added some prima flowers.  As I said, super simple.

Whew, I'm tired this morning.  We had quite the day yesterday.  Turned into a 12 hour drive and then I didn't sleep very well last night.  But, oh gosh, we saw some awesome scenery.  I can hardly wait to go through the pictures - which I'm hoping to do today.  I do have to get ready for class tonight but it should be an easy day - thank goodness!

Have a great day!

The card -  Deb did a card like this for our Shoebox Club last month.  I liked it so much I decided to copy it!  The sentiment is from SU.

And we're off on an adventure today.  Leslie and I are going to cross the border - well, state line anyway.  We're headed to eastern Utah for some photo taking today.  Here's hoping it doesn't rain :)

Have a wonderful day!

Project Sunday - I haven't finished any projects lately, but I wanted to show you this piece - I didn't make this one, my friend Sherry made it for me for my birthday - isn't it awesome?

Looking forward to a fun (and productive) day with my friend Eileen.  We're going to breakfast in a bit and then back here for some stitching - yay!  It will be a good day!

Have a terrific day!

It's time to think about class projects once again.  Hopefully I can do more than just think about them today - that's my goal anyway!

Have a great day!
