Happy

Halloween

Thursday, October 30, 2008

A simple layout on this card. I had gotten these felt flowers quite a while ago and hadn't used any, so decided to find something I could use them on - think they worked just fine on this card.

It's supposed to be another nice day so I'm planning on getting outside for a little clean up in the yard this afternoon. Need to work on some class projects this morning.

Enjoy your day!

I copied the layout for this card from Deb. The stamp is Inkadinkado - stamped with a Kaleidacolor pad.

Paper work today - I must get the piles cleaned off the desk - I think there's bills in there that need to be paid. Duh........ Hopefully a little yard work this afternoon.

Happy stampin'

Saw a card online done with this layout and these colors and couldn't resist using them - the leaf stamp is a very old one I found in my stash.
Oh my - I really over slept this morning. I think my body is getting ready for the time change a little early.
I had a productive day yesterday - well, cleaning wise that is. Got the upstairs cleaned and even managed to get some errands done in the afternoon. What a beautiful day it was - can you believe this weather in October? It's awesome. Today I am going to tackle the downstairs - I'm on a roll so might as well make the most of it.
Have a wonderful day!

Something a little different. Used chocolate, soft sky and kraft. I sponged a little chocolate on the embossed background to make the leaves stand out a bit more.

Well, I ended up stamping most of the day yesterday. I'll bet you knew I'd pick that one didn't you? I got lots of cards done so it was a good day.


Today I'm left with all the stuff I didn't do yesterday, so I guess I'm going to tackle the housework.

Another embossing folder card. I was on a roll last week with those.

My class in Delta went very well yesterday. All the ladies were delightful and we had a great time.

Have to make a decision on what to do today - there's cleaning house, doing some yard work, paper work, working on some class projects or just stamping for fun. What do you think? Stay tuned - I'll let you know tomorrow which I picked.

Enjoy your day!

I think this is my favorite card so far with this embossing folder. Love this paper from Close to My Heart.

I'm teaching a class in Delta today at The Scrappy Moose. I'm a little nervous (well, I am) - it's been a long time since I've taught a class of complete strangers. I can only hope I don't make a complete fool of myself! So, now I must go get everything together and hope I don't forget anything.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Used some new Basic Grey paper and Verve stamps for this card. Pretty simple but I liked the layout.
Have class kits to prepare for a class in Delta tomorrow so that will be my focus for today.
Happy stampin'

Another card using the same embossing folder as yesterday. Makes a quick and easy card.

Have class tonight and don't have the class kits ready yet so............looks like that is what my project for the day will be.

Enjoy your day!

I love this embossing folder - I had been wanting it for a long time, finally got it last week. I made several cards with it on Sunday when Deb was here. The stamped image is from SU - colors are black and mellow moss.

Have a lot to get done today. A lot of odds & ends, laundry, and fun stuff like that. Enough to keep me busy and out of trouble. (translates to b o r i n g !)

Happy Stampin'

A very old stamp set - I have had this SU tree set forever but it is still one of my favorites. It makes nice masculine cards which are always hard for me.

I'm feeling a little over whelmed today with everything that needs to be done - not sure where to start. I got a little behind from spending too many days on the sofa last week I guess. Oh well, I'll figure it out - maybe!

Have a wonderful day!

Something a little different. Card is artichoke and saffron - cuttlebug embossing folder on background - butterflies are from Verve.

Deb came over yesterday and we spent the afternoon stamping - we both got a lot done and had fun in the process - yea!

Happy stampin'

A little pink (Su's new pink) and Upsy Daisy. Pretty easy........ This is one of the last cards I have done so I guess I better get some stamping done today.

I am feeling a little better - think I'm going to live. (I wasn't real sure there for a while) I did try to do a little stamping yesterday, but I wasn't getting much done so hopefully today will be more productive.

Hope you are enjoying your weekend!

This layout is one we did in Scrap Class a while back. I just added the pictures.

I have pretty much spent the last two days on the sofa. Wow - whatever bug I got has wiped me out. I think it's just a bad cold - it's been so long since I've had one I forgot what they were like. ( I could have gone a lot longer without knowing)

Enjoy your weekend.

Used the Scor-pal on this card to make the lines on the background. Stamps are Stampin' Up.

I am still not feeling so hot - I don't think I've ever had quite this bad of a cold - or whatever the heck it is. Not fun, that's for sure. I'm hoping it will go away soon!

Enjoy your day!

This probably isn't one of my favorites - not sure why, but I think it needs something - maybe something on the green background. I do like the layout - maybe you can use it for inspiration and improve on it.

I managed to get some yard work done yesterday afternoon - that is a good thing. It was a beautiful afternoon to be outdoors.

Enjoy your day.

Not much to say about this card - very simple. The leaves are from Close to My Heart.

I am really running behind this morning - can you believe I just got up? I can't remember the last time I didn't out of bed til 8:00. I think I have a sinus thing going on - I did get up at 6 - but felt so crappy that I went back to bed. Feel a tad better now, so hopefully this will be gone soon.

Class tonight and have to get the project pieces cut and bagged. Think I'm going to try and get a little yard work done this afternoon.

Happy stampin'

Nothing too fancy on this card. Used kraft, artichoke and vanilla. Stamps are Stampin' Up. Scored the background with the Scor-pal.

Class this morning and again tonight. The cold weather over the weekend froze my flowers so need to get some yard work done sometime this week. I'm running out of cards to post so need to find some time to get some stamping done too.

Had Stamp Club with Deb last night - always a fun evening. Great cards - thanks Deb!

Happy stampin'

Tried a little bit of a different color combo with this card. (chocolate, mustard & sage) Not sure it's one of my favorites, but I like the layout. Think I'll have to try this one again. The flower stamp is from Close To My Heart.

Have to get the basement cleaned up today. I sort of dumped some stuff down there when I was de-cluttering upstairs - so now that area is a mess and needs to be tidied up.

Enjoy your day!

I spent all day yesterday cleaning and re-organizing my work room upstairs. A good part of the day was spent just re-organizing a whole drawer full of embellishments. Here are the before and after pictures.




Yep, quite a mess! I don't usually let it get this bad before I straighten it up but it definitely got out of hand this time!
And now for the "after" pictures.











Quite an improvement, don't ya think?




Have a wonderful day. Happy stampin'
