Are you ready for Christmas/Winter cards? I'm not sure I am. I was going to wait til after Thanksgiving to post these, but I have quite a few so thought I'd better start.

How many of you remember this cute polar bear stamp? It's a very old SU set that I have always liked. So, I dug it out and here's what I did with it. Nice and simple.

Happy stampin'

I used one of Roni's stamps (SU) on Friday night to make this card. Loved the color combination - Blue Bayou - River Rock and chocolate. (SU)

I took advantage of the wonderful fall weather yesterday and spent a good part of the afternoon working outdoors. It felt good to get out of the house and do something physical for a change.

Enjoy your day.

Here's another card with SU's Season of Friendship stamp set. Colors are sage, rust, mustard and chocolate. Almost time to move on from fall cards to Christmas cards.

Have Shoebox club tonight so need to get my project together - I'm going to get that done this morning and then I may spend a little time in the yard this afternoon. I should be taking advantage of the beautiful fall weather to get the yard cleaned up a bit.

Have a great day!

I love the colors in this line of paper from SU (Green Tea) and just got it last week. So, of course I had to play with it right away. Here's just one of the cards I did with it. (copied of course) Stamp is Pocket Silhouettes from SU.

I had a very productive stamping weekend. I have enough cards done for a while that I can move on to getting some class projects done (hopefully!) and try to get myself motivated to start working on Christmas stuff.

Happy stampin'

I got this package of paper from SU (Urban Garden) and I just had to play with it. I love the colors in this line - used Not Quite Navy and Baja Breeze on this card. Stamp is Upsy Daisy from SU.

One more day of stamping today. And maybe a little cheering for the Broncos - if they do anything worth cheering about! One can only hope.

Have a wonderful day.

Simple fall card. Paper is from Bo-Bunny, stamp is from Inkadinkado and stamped with Kaleidacolor.

A sad bit of news today. Most of you who know me personally also know my friend Kim Warne. Kim's Dad lost his battle with cancer and passed away yesterday morning - peacefully, at home, with his wife and kids around him. Please keep Kim and her family in your prayers.

More stamping for me today. I am trying to get enough cards done to post for the next couple of weeks so I can concentrate on class projects and get started on Christmas cards and gifts. (well, it sounds good anyway!)

Enjoy your weekend!

Deb got this card in a swap and I loved the layout so I copied it. I added the swiss dots on the background but the rest is the same.

I had a great stamping day yesterday. It was so nice to do something besides class kits for a change. I finished my Thanksgiving cards plus got several other cards done. Yipee.

I started doing some Christmas cards - I told my daughter Tracy I would be happy to help her out by making some for her (didn't know she needed 70 of them - oh my!) I've had a hard time getting in the mood to do Christmas - do you suppose it's because the weather has been so nice? I really don't want it to be time to do Christmas yet. But it was kind of fun to pull out some old Christmas stamps and see what I could do with them. So I am planning another stamping day today - Roni is coming over tonight so that will keep me motivated.

Happy stampin'

This is a card I did last week when Deb was here. The background is done with the scor-pal, ovals are nestabilities, stamps are from Verve. Colors are chocolate, kraft and Saffron and saraha sand (SU)


Well I managed to finish the last 150 card class kits yesterday - woo hoo! Now I can take a break from cutting and bagging for a few days! I am going to spend the next few days getting Thanksgiving cards finished, work on some cards for the blog and maybe work on a new class project. Way more fun! I think I do need to squeeze in a little laundry and so forth too!

Have a wonderful day!

OK - so this color combination is definitely out of my box but rather interesting don't ya think? I copied the layout but changed a couple of things. Butterfly stamp is from Verve.

More class prep today. Boy will I be glad to get that finished. If I can get it all done today I can take a break from cutting and bagging for a couple of weeks. Yea!

Enjoy your day!

More fall - colors are SU rust, mustard, chocolate and artichoke. Verve stamp.


Class this morning and again tonight. Better get to work since I don't have the kits ready for either class. Oops.


Happy stampin'

Not much to say about this card - very easy. I did attach the baja breeze piece to the the brown before I did the embossing folder.

Deb and I were both pretty darn productive yesterday. Whew! That's always a good feeling. More class preparation to do today.

Enjoy your day!

I rather liked this combination of Red, orange and brown. Stamps are from Close to My Heart.

The class in Delta yesterday was quite fun. A nice group of ladies. It's been fun to meet some new scrappers! And of course Carol had some new stuff I just had to buy.

I really have to finish up class projects this morning and then Deb is coming over this afternoon. I am hoping for a productive day!

Have a wonderful day!

I used just a part of the embossing folder on this card. Also added just a bit of color on the tips of the flower with a blender pen.

I am teaching another class in Delta today so I am off to get my supplies together for that.

Enjoy your weekend.

A simple thank you card. The colors on this card (Soft sky, plum & celery) didn't really photograph well - it actually looks better than it does in the picture.

I think I am going to take a break from class preparation today. I still have a lot to do, but I need a break. So I think I'll work on some cards and maybe do some scrapping tonight.

Have a wonderful day.

More SU Pocket Silhouettes - used Baja Breeze and chocolate for this one.

Holy cow - it's really cold this morning . Does this mean our beautiful fall is over and winter is here? It sure feels like it.

More class preparation today. Feels like that's all I've been doing - I guess because that is all I've been doing this week. I'm looking forward to Stamp Club with Roni tonight though because that's means a fun evening for me that I don't have to do any preparation for - yea!

Keep warm and have a wonderful day!

Another tree card. I liked this layout that I copied a lot. Would work well with a lot of different stamps.

More class preparation today. I'm hoping to get all my work done in the next day or so and then I will be able to do some fun things.

Happy stampin'

Red & brown with SU Garden Silhouettes stamp. I used a white pen to add the little white dots. Simple, but nice.

More class preparation today. Looks like it's going to be kind of a dreary day outside. I think we've been rather spoiled with the wonderful fall we've had. But it's been oh so nice!

Have a wonderful day!

Used a Close to My Heart stamp and paper for this card. The flowers are stamped and embossed in white on the printed paper.

Lots of classes this week means lots of class preparation so I'm off to get started on that.

Happy stampin'

Dug out another old stamp set for this card. I stamped and embossed the flowers with white on rust paper and then cut them out, layered one on top of the other and then popped the whole thing up.

Have a very full week coming up - have to get class projects done today.

Enjoy your day!

This is a card that Sherry did at Kim C's SU party a while back. I changed it just a tiny bit but pretty much copied the layout - thanks, Sherry!

Sherry and Emily came over to play last night, Judy S is coming over today and Deb is coming over tomorrow! Yea! I should be able to get lots done, right?

Hope your weekend is off to a great start!
