Something a little different today - I made these inchies into a 6 x 6 card. The inchies were stamped on different colors of paper, layered on black and pale plum, then added to the card front. The stamps are from Inkadinkado.

Not sure what my plan is for today. Have some paper work to do, laundry and ............... Guess I will go with the flow. Class tonight, so need to get things set up for that.

Have a great day!

The card - stamps are from CTMH. Colors are eggplant, plum and mellow moss. I got this layout idea from a new CTMH book called Wishes - it's a great book filled with tons of card ideas.

Need to get some chores done this morning but I'm looking forward to an afternoon of stamping with Deb and Sherry.

Hope you are having a wonderful weekend.

This card was done with Herb Expressions - one of the new sets I got from the new SU catalog. It has some really nice flower stamps and a lot of really nice sayings. I inked the stamp with markers (melon mambo and celery). Ribbon and aceent piece are melon mambo.


We had a bit of a surprise birthday dinner for Sherry last night. I made chicken and noodles for dinner and Emily brought a Cold Stone Creamery ice cream cake - oh boy, that was yummy! After a fun dinner I even managed to get my July 4th pictures scrapbooked. Yea! It was a great evening.



I think I'm going to take an r & r day today. It's been a busy week and I haven't had any stamping time. So I may do a little stamping, a little reading, maybe even a little napping. But definitely a "do whatever I feel like" day.



Enjoy your weekend!

I am taking a break from yard work today - yea! Deb and I are going to Delta this afternoon for a little retail therapy at The Scrappy Moose. Then we'll be stamping/scrapping tonight. A fun day!

Have a great day!

The card - swirl stamp is from Paper Trey Ink - I embossed it with white. Butterfly is a SU die. (I used the swiss dots embossing folder after I cut the butterfly) Colors are baja and white.

Judy D and I went to see the movie The Proposal yesterday afternoon. That was the funniest movie I have ever seen - if you haven't seen it, go - you will love it!

More yard work this morning, errands this afternoon and class tonight.

Enjoy your day (and go see The Proposal!)

Have a great day!

The card - I saw this stamp used in a magazine and thought it was pretty darn cool. (it's from Stampers Anonymous) My friend Judy S just happened to have it and let me borrow it to play with! Thanks Judy! I stamped the image in black, on kraft, then stamped it again on vanilla. I used colored pencils to color a few of the squares on the vanilla piece, then cut out the design and popped it up on top of the kraft piece. Added a small border of vanilla - card is soft suede.


Today - yard work! I've put it off far too long and now the weeds are getting way out of control. So........much as I'd rather spend the day stamping......................


Have a wonderful day!

Another card with Circle Circus. Color is Razzleberry.

Today - cleaning up the mess I made yesterday so I can stamp with friends this afternoon.

Enjoy your day!

Saturday, July 11, 2009



This card uses SU's new Circle Circus set. Colors are kraft (the card), Bermuda Bay, Soft Suede and Crushed Curry. I used the solid side of the Bermuda Bay polka dot ribbon.

Today - let's see - I should go out and do some yard work, but I'm not sure I can talk myself into it today. I think spending the day stamping and/or scrapbooking sounds more appealing. We'll see what happens.

Hope you are enjoying your weekend.

Today - we have our monthly Shoebox Club tonight and I don't have my project done yet (not even sure what I'm going to do either) Oops - so, guess that had better be my goal for the day.

The card - stamp is from Asisan Artistry (SU) Colors are chocolate and riding hood red. Red piece is embossed with cuttlebug embossing folder.

I do believe Deb brought her mouse to my house - how nice of her to share! I had one running all over my living room last night - yikes! Scared me to death as the first time I saw it it ran across the top (yep, the top) of the sofa I was sitting on! Holy Cow - aren't those little buggers supposed to at least stay on the floor? I was just thinking about going to bed, so of course after all that excitement it took a couple more hours for me to calm down enough to even think about going to sleep. I put out several traps hoping to catch it during the night - no such luck! Darn.

Today - need to deal with some weeds in the yard and finish bagging class kits. Class tonight.

Have a wonderful day!

Tuesday, July 7, 2009

The card - Not much stamping on this one. Card is Soft Suede - mat is Crushed Curry - pattern paper is from Razzleberry Lemonade. I added a tiny pearl to each one of the scallops.

It's supposed to get hot today - I guess it's a good day to stay inside. Good thing, because I have to cut and bag card kits today. Class tonight.

Happy stampin'

The card - simple and easy. I used two of SU's new colors, Bermuda and Suede for this card. Stamp is from Pocket Silhouettes. Thank you is from Paper Inspirations.

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday yesterday. We barbecued last night - yummy food, great fun with friends and family. Molly and Judy brought really yummy desserts! It was a very good day.

I am going to take a break from work stuff today and just spend the day in my room doing some 'just for fun' stamping.

Have a wonderful day!

Just a few layers on this one - but I really liked the look. Stamp set is Happy Harmony (SU), colors are riding hood red, black and white.

Had Stamp Club with Sherry last night - woo hoo! It was great fun and she did some awesome cards. Thanks Sherry!

Happy stampin'

A little red, white and blue. I liked the layout on this one. Could be used in a lot of different ways. (the star is an old accu cut die)

I think I am going to try and get my class kits done today. That means a day of cutting and bagging - but if I get it done today I can move on to some fun stuff.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - How easy is this? This is a new quick-kutz embossing folder I got. (they are plastic ones just like the cuttlebug ones) I simply stamped the birthday greeting in the rectangle space in the middle and added some pearls.



I spent all day yesterday working on class projects - they are done! Oh yea! I still have to cut and bag the kits, but the projects are done! Now I want to start on the 7 Gypsies project I have flitting around in my head.


Today I am helping my cousin with a wedding project for her granddaughter. Still have to print one piece, then it's a matter of putting it together.






This is what my table looked liked at the end of the day yesterday - yikes! (that is after 6 cards and 2 2-page layouts) That little bitty space on the right is what I ended up working in. Good thing I started with the 12 x 12 page layouts at the beginning of the day when the table was clean! Why oh why can I not put things away as I go?
Have a wonderful day!
