Here is one of the layouts I did last Friday. I am really into simple these days! I have sooooo many pictures to scrapbook that simple is working for me right now. I am also finding it harder to work with so many pictures that are closeups - can't crop much, so don't have much room on the page for anything but pictures. But, I guess the pictures are supposed to be the important part, right?

Have a wonderful day!

Monday morning - again! It's the beginning of a busy week for me so I have to be diligent and stick to my schedule.

Here is a layout I did a while back. I don't usually mess with enlarging photos, but I liked this layout I saw in a book and thought I'd try it. I don't get to use flowers on my pages very often either, so this was a fun page to do.

Woo hoo! I finished trimming the rose bushes yesterday! I'm glad that job is done! Now a couple of big weed patches to clean up and the spring clean-up will be done!

A note: sorry about the picture from yesterday. I didn't realize it was out of focus until after I had already posted it. The card is actually much prettier than it looked!

Happy scrappin'

I hope everyone is having a good weekend. Here is another card I did with the swiss dots embossing folder. Very simple, but I like the look.

Not sure what my plans are for the day. I have so many things to get done this week that I'm not sure where to start. I think I'll try for some yard work this morning, then work on class stuff this afternoon.

Happy stampin'

No stampin', just paper. This is another one of the cards I did the other day when I was playing hooky. Simple, but rather pretty I thought.

Ah ha - I got the rest of the flowers planted yesterday! And sprayed weeds and got the lawn watered. Yea! Then my buddy Kim came over last night and I got 3 - 2 page scrapbook layouts done. I'm hoping to get a little more scrapbooking done this afternoon.

Have a great weekend!

Ok, I have to admit I played hooky yesterday. I found yet another excuse not to work in the yard (the weather was bad! Well, it was!) and I ended up playing in my stamp room making cards. I had to run some errands yesterday morning and decided to check out HL - I have been looking for the pin dot embossing folder forever - they had it! And it was 30% off! Yea! So, I just had to play with it, right? Here is one of the cards I did.

Today I really am going to get the rest of the flowers planted. Honest!

Happy Stampin'

Good morning. I used a Becky Higgins sketch for this layout. I'm still not sure I'm comfortable with all the blank space, but I love the colors.

The weather is throwing a kink in my plans for the day - at least for now. It's amazing how my days revolve around the weather - especially this time of year. Hopefully it will warm up and the sun will come out this afternoon - I still have flowers to plant. (and there's still more rose bushes waiting to be trimmed) So I guess I will get some things done inside this morning and see what the afternoon brings.

Happy scrappin'

Photo day. I love sunsets! And one of the things I love about my house is I have an unobstructed view of the sunset each evening from my living room window. This was the sunset last night.

The UPS guy delivered several boxes of goodies last night just as my class ended. Now I have some fun new stuff to play with and will hopefully have some new class projects done soon.

Have a wonderful day!

A dreary, cold morning! What happened to our sunny, spring weather? I'm glad I had no outside plans for today. Class this morning and another class this evening - maybe some stamping in between? I'm running out of new cards to share so I need some stamping time and today might be the day!

A simple birthday card today. I love blue & green together and this layout was just quick and fun.

Happy stampin'

Good morning! I hope everyone had a good weekend. I thought I would share another scrapbook page today. Seems I've been doing mostly cards lately. Haven't scrapbooked in a couple of weeks - that is not good.

Need to finish up the class stuff today and get laundry done.

Have a wonderful day!

Happy Mother's Day!

This is a card I actually copied from myself! I used this layout in class so it will look familiar to some of you. Different paper, ribbon and stamp but I liked the way it came out!

It is supposed to be a beautiful day today - lots of sunshine and temps in the 80's. I have more flowers to plant and then I will be spending the rest of the day working on cards for class. Alas, my creativity just wasn't working yesterday - I only got one card done. So......... today I need to get the other 5 cards done!

I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend.

Just a simple card today. I used a layout that my
stampin' friend Roni used at one of our Stamp Club meetings. Thanks Roni!

I had a productive day yesterday - got the patio flowers planted and the patio all cleaned up. Yea! I still have to do the planters out front but I will get that done tomorrow. Today I must get cards done for classes that start next week!

Hope your weekend is off to a good start!

Happy stampin'

Do you ever have days when things just don't seem to go right? I had one of those yesterday. Nothing terrible, just annoying I guess. I threw my favorite gardening shovel in the ditch by mistake, (it's gone - never to be seen again!) the handle keeps falling off my pruning sheers and the weather didn't cooperate long enough for me to finish what I had wanted to get done. Darn! The worst part was I was trying to make some cards last night and no matter what I tried it just wasn't working. Oh well, on to another day!

This is a card I made several weeks ago. I liked the colors with the kraft background.

I am taking a break from trimming rose bushes today - I still have 12 left to do, but I think they will just wait for a few more days. I am off this morning to buy flowers for my planters and the patio.

Happy Stampin'

A happy Thursday to you all.

This is another layout from scrap class. I really am enjoying doing this class - and it certainly motivates me to get pages done! Now I have to get pictures on the pages we did in class last week.

Another day of yard work .......boy will I be glad when this spring cleanup stuff is done!

Happy scrappin'

Good morning! I hope everyone is having a good week so far. I am procrastinating this morning. I have planned a day of yard work - more rose bushes to trim and weeds to pull - but I'm trying to work up the energy to get started. I was actually hoping it would rain and give me an excuse to stay indoors (darn - no rain!)

This is a card I did a while ago. I copied it from somewhere (can't remember where) I did the same card in several different colors, but this was one of my favorites. Is there actually 7 layers of paper on this card? Yep, I guess there is.

Have a wonderful day!

A guy card - these tend to be a bit of a challenge for me. I don't have that many "guy" stamps and it seems like I've used what I have over and over. This was an old stamp cube that I found in my drawer and figured I could do something with it - this is what I came up with. (believe it or not I didn't even copy this one!)

Last night was Scrap Class and it was so enjoyable. Those ladies are such fun! Darilyn showed us the twenty some pages she got done at a marathon NSD crop - now that was inspiring. You go girl!

Happy stampin'

Good morning! I hope your week is off to a good start. I'm moving a little slow this morning - maybe because I know how much stuff I need to do today and I'm dragging my feet, not sure where to start.

This is one of the pages I finished Saturday night. It is another one of my class layouts that just needed pictures.

Happy scrappin'

Good morning! I hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend. I hope all you scrapbookers out there got lots of scrapping done yesterday for National Scrapbooking Day. My friends Bretina and Lauren came over last night to crop. Great night! Dinner at Munchies (LOVE their hamburgers!) then a full night of scrapping. They kept me up way past my normal bedtime - but I did get some pages done so it was worth it.

This card is one Deb did for Stamp Club a couple weeks ago. I really liked this card and made several more to have on hand for birthdays.

Enjoy your day!

Happy National Scrapbooking Day!

This is one of the new class projects I am doing in May. It is a 6 x 6 book I did with 7 Gypsies paper & some of the new Theresa Collins paper.

Have a great weekend! Happy Scrappin'

Good Friday morning! I had such a fun day yesterday. My friend Judy and I went to Delta for lunch and stopped at Dalene's scrapbook store - A Scrapbooker's Dream. Dalene is just the sweetest person, I love stopping to see her and she always has something new to see. I am a paper junkie (as most of you know) and I wasn't disappointed, she had some fun new stuff for me. So I did my part for stimulating the economy yesterday and brought home more paper to play with.

We added a drive to Montrose to our trip - Carl & Diane of Crafty Lady are going out of business and yesterday was the first day of their liquidation sale. Everything was 30% off - so I did a little more economy stimulation and have even more cool paper, some matching brads and rubons to add to my collection.


The fun didn't end there because we had Stamp Club with Roni last night. Roni always has great projects for us - the one pictured here is just one of the cards we did last night.

So it was a totally wonderful, fun day. Now I need to do errands today and get to work on some class projects.

Happy stampin'

Happy May Day! Snow??? Yep, snow - in May. Go figure. It was blowing and snowing this morning when I got up. Looked more like January than May. I can remember times it has snowed in April, but I don't ever remember it snowing in May. But, it's Colorado, so you just never know. It does seems odd to go from temps in the 80's one day to snow two days later.

Here's another one for ya, Tracy. This is another non-flowery card I did last weekend.

After two days of yard work and a day of housecleaning I am taking a fun day today. My friend Judy S and I are taking a trip to Delta for lunch and a stop at the scrapbooking store.

Have a great day everyone!
