The card - just a little something fun today....stamped images are from SU.  

Time for a little relaxing 'Grandma time' today.  And then there's Friday night crafting to look forward to!  Yay!  It's going to be a good day!

Enjoy your day!

The card - flower is from SU.  I stamped the flower in black on kraft paper, then embossed it.  I colored the stems with copics.  I then stamped the flower again on daffodil card stock, added a bit of shading to the centers and then cut the flowers out and popped them up.  The brick embossed piece is cut out along the edge to make room for the sentiment down the side.

I really need to get some stamping done, so that is my plan today.  I will have to take a break this afternoon to go get a haricut.  But, hopefully I can get a lot done before then!

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  I die cut the leaf, then stamped the image and then sponged a bit on the edge.  The wood background is stamped with kraft ink on kraft card stock.  The leaf and the sentiment are popped up.  

Off on an adventure today with Judy S.  It's been too long!  We're going to our favorite place in Delta for lunch and who knows what else!  It will be a fun day!

Enjoy your day!

The card - one more swirly card.  The circles are stamped on the strip of white and then the die cuts are added on top.  The strip of white is popped up on the front of the card.

I'm finding myself with a fairly free day and no plans....oh my.  Guess we'll see what I can talk myself in to!  I do have to get ready for class tonight at some point!

Have a terrific day.

The card - embossed background, leaves stamps/dies are from SU.  The leaves were stamped, die cut and are popped up on the front panel.

'Grandma time' today.  That's my entire plan for the day - lucky me!

Enjoy your day!

Ready for the game today..... Go Broncos!

Have plans to get the fall decorations up today.... (it would be good to do that before fall is over!!!)  Looking forward to seeing some out of town cousins tonight for dinner - it will be nice to catch up since I haven't seen them for quite a while!

Have a wonderful day.

Photo Saturday - fall scenery near Aspen, CO

Need to get some chores finished this morning and then hopefully the weather will cooperate and we will be able to go and enjoy the Fruita Fall Festival!

Have a great day!

The card - background grunge, leaf stamp/die cut are from SU, sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.  I stamped the leaf with gray and then sponged some green on top before die cutting.  The leaf is popped up.

'Grandma time' today.  Looking forward to a nice relaxing day and then Friday night crafting!

Have a great day!

The card - flowers are from SU, sentiment is from Altenew.  The flowers are stamped with black and then colored with Copics.  The gold background piece was stamped with a grunge stamp.  The top white panel is popped up.

Awww....fall is upon us!  We took a drive up to the Aspen /Maroon Bells area yesterday - wow!  What a beautiful drive.  It was late when we got back so I haven't had a chance to look at the photos I took - I can only hope that I captured a bit of the beauty!  It was awesome.  Now, today I really need to get some chores done around the house - it's way past time for some cleaning!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - leaves are from SU (die and stamp)  I stamped the leaves with brown and then sponged them with cajun and added some honey to the small one.  They were die cut after I stamped and sponged.

Off on an adventure today - yay!  It's been too long since I've been out for a drive.  We're going to the mountains and hoping to see some fall color and maybe even take some photos!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - flower and die cut leaves are from SU.  Sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.  

Looking forward to a few hours of stitching at Hi Fashion today.  I'm working on a fall table runner I'd really like to get finished so I could put it on my coffee table before fall is over!

Have a great day!

The card - background embossing folder and leaves stamp/die are from SU.  The leaves are stamped with Crumb Cake and also sponged on the edges with Crumb Cake (the color looks a little off in the scan) 

"Grandma time' today.  That's about the extent of my plans for the day!

Have a terrific day!

Photo Sunday - Hudson at 6 months - he is growing so fast!

I got totally sidetracked yesterday and never got any stamping done, so, maybe today.

Go Broncos!

Have a super day!

Photo Saturday - some fall goodness on Grand Mesa

Off to a middle school football game this morning and then I'm hoping to get some stamping done this afternoon.

Have a wonderful day.

The card - and even more swirlys....the strip across the bottom is washi tape...the sentiment is from Altenew.

"Grandma time' today and then
Friday night crafting.....Life is Good!

Have a wonderful day.

The card - this doesn't show up as well in this scan as it does it real life.....the stamped image is from SU...I stamped it in black on a piece of patterned paper and then just added a sentiment, some ribbon and some flagged pieces at the top.  

Trying to work up the energy to do some yard work today.  The yard has been really neglected the last few weeks and is looking pretty shabby.  So, maybe today I can get out and do some cleanup.  Then I will have to get ready for tonight's class.

Enjoy your day!

The card - I used a die cut from the 'swirly set' for this one.  I cut my panel to size, then cut the die, took the die cut part out and adhered the pieces back together.  There is a patterned piece of paper underneath that then shows through.  (I hope that explanation makes some sort of sense!)

A full day coming up....have a few chores I'd like to get done this morning and then it's off to Hi Fashion for a day of stitching fun.  Then it's back home to get ready for class tonight.

Have a terrific day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  The flower stamp was inked with markers.  

Have to get ready for class this morning and then after that it's time to go get a new driver's license (mine was, of course, in my purse when it was stolen).  I haven't had time to deal with that until today, and hopefully that is the last of the replacement stuff I need to do!

Have a great day!

The card - and even more swirlys.....stamped images and die cuts are from SU.  Sentiment is from Altenew. 

"Grandma time' today.  Nothing but a day of enjoying Hudson to look forward to!

Have a great day.

Project Sunday - a fall "Block of the Month" project finished   (sorry for the bad picture)

Off to breakfast and then a nice relaxing day of stitching at our Black Sheep Sunday gathering!

Have a wonderful day.

Photo Saturday - this rose bushes is one I planted in Tracy's memory - it was blooming quite nicely for the Broncos season opening game on Thursday night!  

Off to a middle school football game later this morning and then it's home and time to get class projects done!  My schedule got just a little messed up this week and I haven't gotten anything done that was on my 'to do list' - oops!

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  A little ribbon and some patterned paper - quick and easy!

More 'Grandma time' today.  Some time during the day I need to get the 'wool room' cleaned up before Friday night crafting.....hoping Hudson takes a longer nap than he has been.   Poor kid was downright cranky yesterday which is totally out of character.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  The strip at the bottom is washi tape.

A little excitement around here yesterday.  Discovered that someone had come into my garage (we think it was through the window), took my purse out of my car and a few odds and ends of stuff.  Weird.  The biggest hassle was calling the bank and credit card companies and having everything cancelled and new ones issued.  It could have been worse, (they didn't come in the house)  and the window is now reinforced, the locks have all been changed (there were house keys in my purse) and the credit card companies have all been called.  I only have to go get a new driver's license.  Whew!  It's been quite the week.  I have Hudson again today, the babysitter is still sick.  Have to at least get the table cleaned off because we have Shoebox Club tonight.  All is good!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - another swirly card.....the black and white strip down the side is washi tape and I put it on before I embossed the panel.  The flower and the sentiment are popped up.

One more baby day....the babysitter is still sick.  Maybe I can get a couple of chores done while he takes a nap!

Have a terrific day!

The card - flower and background are from SU.  I used a background grunge stamp and stamped it twice without re-inking to get the dark and light color.  The flower is stamped in black on the top.

More 'Grandma time' today - the regular babysitter is sick so....... glad I have a fairly clear week!

Have a great day!

The card - super simple....stamped images are from SU.   I used a punch for the 'postage' piece and then matted it with black and popped it up on the background.  Super easy!

I hope you all are having a great holiday weekend.  I can hardly believe that it's already Labor Day....wow!  One last bbq tonight so not only do I get 'Grandma time' today, but I need to get my house together and food prepared!  Today's goal is to multi task!!!!

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - my first knitted scarf.....finished this a few days ago.  

Just a bit late getting this post up....had to deal with a baby this morning.....yep, not much sleep last night, but that's ok, I'll catch up later.  

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - Hudson is growing so fast!

It's Jeff & Sara's anniversary today so I get some overnight 'Grandma time' this weekend.  It will be nice for them to get away for a night.... I haven't had to get up in the night with a baby for 40 years, so it will be interesting to say the least.  But it's ok, I can sleep tomorrow after they pick him up!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  The rectangle in the background is done by inking up a clear block and using it just like a stamp.  

Lots of rain this morning....but that's ok....good day to be indoors for 'Grandma time'!  Looking forward to Friday night crafting too!

Have a great day!

The card - more swirly things......some printed paper with some added ribbon, bling and a butterfly.  Too fun!

Rain?   Where the heck did that come from?   I had planned to do some yard work this morning....hmmm....guess I'll have to see just how wet it is.   Whatever......I'm going to have a fun afternoon at our Wool Gatherer's group this afternoon.  Yay!

Have a wonderful day.
