Photo Saturday - a photo Jeff took up on the Monument this last week.

Good day to stay in and try to get some household chores done - it's dreary and raining.  I've got plenty to do to keep me busy, that's for sure!

Have a great day!

The card - flower stamp is from Penny Black.  I inked the stamp with markers, then stamped it three times without re-inking.  Colors are cameo coral, olive and white.

Well, the garage is about as tidy as it's going to get.  I think I really need to get rid of some more stuff, but it's ok for now.  Today I need to get some laundry done and do a couple of errands.  Looking forward to Friday night crafting!

Have a great day!

The card - some grunge stuff - background stamps are from Paper Trey Ink.  Colors are kraft, smoky slate and tangelo.

Have no idea what possessed me yesterday, but I decided it was time to straighten up the garage.  I had tubs of Christmas stuff that never quite made it all the way to where they belonged, plus some other stuff that never quite got put away.  Of course, it has turned into more than just a one-day job, so I am going to try and finish that up today!

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Colors are cantaloupe, kraft and white.

No idea what I'm doing today.  I probably should start thinking about class projects for next month and maybe I can motivate myself to do that today.....hmmm....or not!  There's so many things that I need to do I really need to just pick one and do it!

Have a great day!

The card - scribble circles are from Paper Trey Ink.  I stamped them in black and then colored them with copic markers.  Just something a little different :)

I'm off to do some errands today.  Running out of some essential items (like toilet paper) that I need to get stocked up on.  After that I will need to get the classroom cleaned up for tonight's class.

Yesterday's background embossing folder was from Darice (no idea what the name of it is)

Have a great day!

The card - flower image is from SU.   I love this new flower stamp - it's actually three stamps and you layer it to get all the shading effects - pretty cool.   The colors are black, white and blackberry.

I'm going to try and get some stuff cleaned up around here today.  Since I spent most of the weekend stamping (and I got quite a lot done too!) I need to get some things straightened up and get myself organized for the coming week.

Have a terrific day!

Project Sunday - A jar wrapper that I made for a birthday gift.

Not sure what the plan is for the day - meaning I don't really have a plan!  But I'm thinking I might get some more stamping done.  We'll see....

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - from the Arches near Moab, Utah

The Good Time Girls are coming today - oh yay!  It will be a fun and hopefully, productive day!  I'm hoping to get a lot of stamping done.

Have a great day!

The card - a Penny Black flower, inked with markers, stamped on a piece of patterned paper from 7 Gypsies.  Easy!

I'm going to try and get some chores done today - somehow I thought I'd get more done this week since I had a fairly free week  - hmmm, didn't happen.  The week is almost over and I really haven't accomplished much of anything - how the heck did that happen?  Oh well, there's always next week!  Looking forward to Friday night crafting tonight.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - leaves are from Paper Trey Ink, flower is 3 different flower stamps/punches from SU.  Each flower layer is stamped, punched out and then popped up on top of the larger layer.  Colors are  meadow and honey.

I had such a good time yesterday.  We had a great lunch, did some shopping (Judy watched me spend money) and just generally had a great day.  Thanks Judy for a fantastic day (and we didn't even get into any trouble :)  Now today I suppose I should try to accomplish something - not sure what, but I'll try to figure out something.  (I'm more in the mood to have another fun day!)

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU - same flower as yesterday.  I used part of the flower stamp to make the 'greenery' at the bottom.

And we're off on an adventure today - Judy S and I are going to lunch in Delta and see what we can find in the Delta/Montrose area.   It's been too long since we've had a day to play, so we're going to make the most of it.  Looking forward to a fun day!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  I love this new flower stamp!  Colors are mossy meadow and cantaloupe.

It's been crazy busy for the last couple of weeks and now all of a sudden I have some extra time.....and I didn't make a plan.  Oh oh, I don't do so well when I don't have a plan.  I know there's lots of chores and such I want to get done, but for the life of me I can't remember what they were.  Hmmm....guess I'll go with the flow today - maybe I'll do some more stamping.....or maybe I'll do some stitching.....or maybe I'll go for a drive and take some photos.

Have a terrific day!

The card - flower is from Penny Black.  I inked the stamp with markers - colors are primrose and olive.  The 'Hello' is a die cut from Elizabeth Craft Designs.

Time to get some chores done around here - the most important one being the laundry.  Hopefully I can multi-task and get the classroom ready for tonight's class too!

Have a wonderful day!

Project Sunday - a table runner that I made for a Christmas gift

Off to breakfast this morning with my friend Eileen.  Then we're coming back to get some stitching done!  Hopefully it will be another productive day!

Enjoy your day!

Photo Saturday - from Rocky Mountain National Park

Aww....a whole day with no commitments....hmmm....oh my, what to do!   Actually I think I shall spend the day stamping.....about time, huh?  That's my plan anyway, so hopefully I can be motivated and creative!

Have a terrific day!

My favorite from December........  Now I am done with my favorites from 2014 - I think that means I had better get some stamping done in the next few days!

Going to a movie this afternoon and then we have Friday night crafting tonight.  Sounds like a good day to me!

Have a great day.

One of my favorites from November......

I'm getting to the end of the year showing you my favorites, I think that means I need to get some stamping done :)   Not sure I'm going to get to it today but real soon!   I do need to go get the classroom set up for class tonight and then figure out what is next on the agenda.

Have a great day!

My favorite card from October......I love fall, especially the colors so I think that's what I liked about this card.

I need to get some things done around here this morning, but then I have a wool applique class this afternoon and after that I will need to get home and get ready for class here.  A full day!

Have a great day!

My favorite card from September - all the stamped images are from SU.

Class this morning and again tonight - that means I have to go get the classroom cleaned up.  I also ran out of ink in the printer last night, so after class I have to go get that so I can finish printing some stuff for the class kits.  It's going to be a busy day.

Have a terrific day!

My favorite card from August - can't go wrong with black and white :) 

Play time is over......now it's time to get to work.  But, oh my, we've had such a fun weekend - so sorry to see it end!!!!  But, since card classes start tomorrow I really need to get the kits cut and bagged.  That's the job for today!

Have a great day!
