Just a few layers on this card - haven't done one of those in a while. Stamps are from Verve (more of my new ones). Colors are kraft, baja and soft sky.
Still working on class projects...........
Have a great day!

Another card with my new Verve stamps. Colors are chocolate and baja.
Brrr- it's way too cold this morning. And snow? What's up with that? I guess it's springtime in the Rockies!!!!
Lots of class stuff to get done this week............
Stay warm - and enjoy your day!

Another card using the Manhattan Flower embossing folder. I embossed the image on vellum for this card. Kind of a nice effect.

Wow - what a productive day I had yesterday. Kelly, Sue & Eileen can come crop with me any day! They brought lunch - delicious homemade chili, salad and lots of snack goodies and even took my dog for a walk! We cropped for almost 10 hours - thanks, ladies - it was a great day!

Have to decide what to work on today - would like to continue with my scrapbooking since I'm in a groove, but really need to work on some class projects. Oh, decisions, decisions!

Have a wonderful day!

New stamps! I just got some new stamps from Verve and couldn't wait to play with them. The flowers and saying on this card come from one of the sets that I got. Paper is from Basic Grey.

Sue, Eileen and Kelly are coming to crop today. Should be fun! I'm hoping to get a lot of pages done.

Have a great weekend!

I bet you thought I was done with the white on white thing, huh? Nope. Couldn't resist trying it with this Manhattan Flower. Pretty simple - just the flower and swiss dots.

Playtime tonight - yea! But I do have a few things to get done before that. (like clean off the tables so we have a place to work!)

Have a wonderful day.

Another cute little tree - this is another one from my shopping trip to Delta. It's a Heidi Grace set. Paper is SU - colors are baja and chocolate. I kind of wish I had used some wider ribbon - oh well, next time.

Today is my daughter's birthday

Happy Birthday Tracy!

Quite appropriate weather today as it snowed the day she was born too.

Have a wonderful day!

I saw a card like this somewhere in blog land and wanted to give it a try. I really liked the way it turned out. The card is celery - the strips are celery, saffron and burgundy on a black mat. The background grass on each strip is from Verve - the flower stamp is SU. (Flowers in Silhouette) The flower is stamped with Versa Mark and embossed with white. Celebrate stamp is CTMH.

Have to go get a hair cut this morning. Then I'm meeting my friend Leslie for lunch - woo hoo! - that will be fun as I haven't seen her for months!

Happy stampin'

This card layout is one I copied from Deb - she did this "quilt" card at our Shoebox club a couple weeks ago. I changed it up a bit and used different paper and embellishments. The paper is from CTMH and the butterfly is a cuttlebug die/embossing folder. I added some stitch lines to the background.

My creativity seemed to be on vacation yesterday, which means I didn't get much done on the class projects. So, it's back to the drawing board today.

Enjoy your day!

This little tree stamp is one I got at The Scrappy Moose in Delta last week. I just thought it was too cute. (I think it's from Imaginisce) I stamped it in chocolate, then colored the little flowers with baja.

Errands today. Then I have to get to work on class projects.

Happy stampin'

This card is done with SU's new Manhattan Flower embossing folder. I embossed the piece first, then cut away the end piece. I used my blender pen with baja ink and added just a bit of color here and there. (it doesn't show up much in the picture) I also sanded it just a bit to make the embossing show up a little more, but not sure it made a lot of difference.

I spent the day in my stamping room yesterday. Got quite a lot done. Yea! More of the same today I hope.

Enjoy your day!

Flower stamp is from SU - butterfly punch is Martha Stewart. Scored lines at the bottom were made with the Scor-Pal.
I had several inquiries about the diamond shape on the card from a couple days ago. It is from EK Success - Diamond Paper Shaper. Ask your LSS to order it for you - or try Hobby Lobby, they carry a large selection of EK Success punches.
Off to accomplish something wonderful today - just not sure what that is going to be yet.
Have a great weekend!

A layout with pictures from our drive over Grand Mesa last month. The smaller pictures are all wallet size.

Chores today and then play time tonight with Deb and Sherry. Yea!

Happy scrappin'

Not much stamping on this card. I used a punch for the diamond shapes. Paper is from SU. Thought this would make a good "guy card".

Had a wonderful day yesterday. Came home from Delta with a stack of paper and some new stamps. Oh yeah, stuff I really needed! I am going to use them and not just add them to my stash! Yep, I am!

I am going to work on a class project today - have an idea going on in my head and think it's time to actually do it!

Happy stampin'

SU's Thoughts and Prayers and Parisian Breeze paper. Colors are baja and chocolate.

Taking a play day today - Judy D and I are going to Delta for lunch and scrapbook shopping. Yea!

Happy stampin'

Used an older SU set for this card - Sidekick Sayings. Colors are wasabi, bayou and soft sky.

Today - um - not sure what my plans are for the day. I did get a pile of cards done yesterday to take to the church. Now, of course my stamp room needs to be cleaned up. And the laundry needs to be done. And I need to get started on some new class projects. And.......... guess I can find plenty to keep me busy. Class tonight, so I also need to get that area cleaned up. Yep, guess I won't have time to be bored.

Enjoy your day!

Here is a scrapbook layout from the wedding I went to in January. Loved having the wallet size photos to work with!

I'm planning on spending the day in my stamp room today - need to get some birthday cards finished up so I can take them to the church secretary this week.

Hope you are having a great weekend!

SU's Thoughts and Prayers with kraft (image is stamped with Sahara Sand) Now why didn't I notice that the happy birthday is crooked? oops!

Need to get a little stamping done this morning and then I'm going to a birthday lunch/dinner (what do you call it when it's at 2:00?). That will be fun - and a nice break.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Friday, March 13, 2009



Thought this card would work well for a "guy card". Stamp is from Verve - paper is from SU.

Have to get some errands done today - seems I never got around to it the other day. Tonight will be play time and I'm thinking I will try to get some more scrapbooking done.

Have a great day!

Very simple and easy card - SU's Fifth Avenue floral stamp - colors are baja and kiwi.

How did it get to be Thursday already? And how did I get so far behind this week? Must be my lack of organization or something - or maybe I'll blame it on the weather! ha! ha! I have Shoebox tonight and don't even have a project in mind yet, so guess I better get started on that.

Have a wonderful day!
