I actually did spend the day yesterday in my stamp room - class projects for this week are done and I even managed to get a few cards made. Woo hoo! Now today I need to cut and bag kits, plus do some household chores (laundry, for one!)

Happy stampin'

This is the card I made for the birthday bash I went to last night. Bill restores old cars and at one time had a car just like this. Judy S had this stamp and it was just perfect! Color is basic grey. (the car is cut out and popped up)

So, today I really am going to work on class projects. Duh, I have been saying that all week, haven't I? But I am running out of time, so I plan to spend the entire day in my room 'working'.

Hope you are having a fabulous weekend!

The card - circles and more circles. This was a fun one to do. Stamps are from Hero Arts. Card is sahara sand. Circles are stamped with razzleberry and soft suede.

Today - have a birthday bash to attend tonight and have to get salad and beans made for my "potluck" contribution. Hopefully I can get a little work done too - still haven't gotten the class projects done - yikes!

Enjoy your weekend.

I am definitely going to work on class projects today. I got a little sidetracked yesterday - got to go to lunch with friends Leslie and Michelle. It was pretty cool since I haven't seen Michelle for almost 3 years! So, today, no excuses, I am going to get those projects done!

Enjoy your day!

We had a wonderful, relaxing day yesterday wandering around Main Street, a stop at Enstrom's and dinner at Dos Hombres. (a really local kind of day!)

Now the company is gone and it's back to reality today - darn! I was having such a good time. I always love spending time with Marleen - and Scott and Alyssa are charming young adults and great to have around. Don't have much I have to do today, but I am looking foward to scrapping with friends tonight - that will be fun.

Hope your weekend is off to a great start!

The card - Medallion stamp (SU). Color is dusty durango.


Yesterday - a great trip to Ouray. We wandered around town, went to Box Canyon Falls (my favorite), had a great lunch and shopped at the antique stores outside of Montrose on the way home. (pictures from Ouray are below)


Today - the last day of fun! My company will be leaving tonight - darn! I am having such a good time. We are going to do Main Street today.


Enjoy your day!

Today - we are off on another adventure - going to Ouray and then if we get back to town in time we will wander around downtown at the Farmer's Market.


Yesterday we went to the Gateway Car Museum - fun day. And dinner last night at our cousin Betty's was oh so yummy! Below are a couple of photos from Gateway.

Have a wonderul day!

Yesterday was great fun - we pretty much spent the entire day walking around Aspen. We had beautiful weather, except for a spot of clouds and a little rain.

Below are a few pictures from our day!

Just a pretty photo

A view of Aspen from the ski lift area

My cousin Marleen, her daughter Alyssa, and son Scott

(have to admit I was in this picture too, but thank goodness for modern technology - I just sort of cropped me right out of there because it was such a bad picture - honest, it was BAD!)

Enjoy your day!

The card - Stamp is from Herb Expressions (SU). Colors are olive, chocolate and a touch of bashful blue.

We are playing tourist today and going to Aspen. I haven't been there for several years - should be a fun day.

Enjoy your day!

The card - Razzle Dazzle stamp (SU) with some razzleberry lemonade paper. I inked the stamp with markers (olive, melon, curry). Card is Melon Mambo, center is white with an old olive mat.

Today - the first job is put my house back together. It's amazing what a project in one room leads to. The ceiling is fixed but the rest of the house is still covered with dust from the dry wall so I'm off to get that cleaned up.

It's going to be a great week because my cousin Marleen (from California) and her son, Scott and daughter Alyssa will be here this afternoon. I've cleared my calendar for the week and I'm looking forward to play time for the entire week. Woo hoo!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamp is from Thoughts and Prayers (SU) - I inked the stamp with markers (olive & not quite navy) and added a tiny pearl in the center of each flower. Love those pearls. Card and pattern paper is Not Quite Navy.

Grocery shopping today and then cleaning up a mess. Jeff decided it was time to fix the ceiling in the utility room. I had a leak in the roof and it took forever to figure out where it was and get it fixed - so the ceiling has been a mess for a very long time. But now the ceiling will look almost normal again. But, oh my gosh, there is dry wall dust everywhere in the house! I can't really get started on the mess until Jeff is finished sanding and painting, so I will try to get some odds & end done in the mean time.

Hope you are having a fabulous weekend!

The card - medallion stamp (SU) - color is blue bayou.

Not much productivity for me last night. Our trip to Delta was very fun, yummy dinner. I tried to get a card done when we got back, but it just wasn't working. Deb worked on some swaps and Sherry was helping her with that - I think they were much more productive than I was.

I'm going to get out and try to do some yard work this morning before the weather gets bad - they are saying it's going to be windy. It's a little damp, seems it rained during the night. But, I'm going to give it a try.

Enjoy the beginning of your weekend!

The card - a very old stamp from Great Impressions. Kind of fun to dig out the old stuff once in a while! I inked the stamp with markers (dusty durango, olive and black). I added a touch of blue to the jars with chalk. (and I can't tell you how long it's been since I dug those chalks out of the drawer) Card is old olive, mats are kraft and dusty durango.

The rain has kind of put a kink in part of my plan for the day. I intended to get caught up on my yard work this morning - um, guess that will have to wait for another day. I guess I will move on plan B - whatever that is. This afternoon Deb, Sherry & I are going to Delta for a little scrapbooking retail therapy at The Scrappy Moose - then dinner at Davetos (yum), then back here to stamp. OK - do you think we'll actually get anything accomplished when we get back? Stay tuned - I'll let you know how that works out!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamps are from Verve. The flowers and flower pot are stamped, cut out and popped up. Colors are Melon Mambo and So Saffron.

Today - chores this morning and then I have to take my car in to be serviced this afternoon. Looking forward to our Shoebox Club this evening. A full day.

Happy stampin'

The card - more Razzle Dazzle. I inked the stamp with markers - colors are olive, razzleberry and crushed curry.

Today - oh, where to start. I have so much I want to get done that I'm overwhelmed and not sure where to begin. I guess I better start with a project for our Shoebox Club which is tomorrow night. Hopefully I can get that done this morning and move on to more things on my list. Class tonight.

Have a wonderful day!
