The card - butterfly is a die cut.  The background is done by coloring with markers on a clear stamping block, spray with a bit of water and then stamp!  A fun technique for a fun background.  Try it.

A bit of clean-up today to get ready for class tonight but a big part of the day will be spent trying to figure out the online stuff of getting my orders from last night entered!  It was a fun evening and I even sol d a few things!  Yay!

Of course before I can do anything I will need to go out and shovel the snow - yes Snow! - that appeared during the night.  What the heck - I thought we were done with that!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - embossed background is from Tim Holtz.  Flowers are from SU.   The sentiment piece is popped up.  Pretty darn easy!

'Grandma time' today.   And a small group of people tonight to practice my Thirty-One consultant skills!

Have a terrific day!

Project Sunday - this is the table runner that I made this last week.  Whew - glad to have it finished!  THANK YOU Emily for helping me put this together.  

Lots of stuff to get done around the house today.  I need to stay focused!

Enjoy your day!

(GJ is Grand Junction, Colorado)

The card - background stamps are from SU. sentiment is from Altenew and butterflies are a punch from SU.  Super simple.

Haircut today and then ?????  Lots to do, just can't seem to focus!  I did get my table runner quilted yesterday and the binding is on and ready to hand stitch.  Whew!

Have a terrific day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  I stamped the flowers on the white panel and then drew the black lines with a fine marker.

Lots of chores to get done today - I'm not even sure where to start and I 'm not feeling very motivated this morning.  Hmmm...that's not good!

Have a terrific day!

The card - an easy one - the balloons are punched and popped up with a bit of added bling, some patterned paper at the bottom and a sentiment.  Easy peasy.

Off to Hi Fashion for a day of stitching today.  But, I have to figure out what the heck I'm going to work on!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - I sponged the background using a stencil and then stamped the butterfly (from Hero Arts) on top with black.  Added a bit of grunge and that was it!

"Grandma time' today and then dinner with Deb and a couple hours of knitting at The Craft Studio.  Sounds like a good day to me!

Have a marvelous day!

Project Sunday - the December mat from Black Sheep - all twelve months are done - woo hoo!

I can hardly wait to show you the table runner Emily helped me with yesterday - totally out of my box.  I still have to finish pinning it and then quilt it and put the binding on - again, totally out of my box!  But it's going to be cool!  It was hard work though, I was exhausted last night.  But THANK YOU Emily for spending the day helping me sew!

Today I really need to get some stamping done.  I just need to get myself motivated - maybe some more caffeine will help :)

Have a great day!

My friend Emily is coming over today to help me make a table runner - it's sewing....not my area of expertise!  Hopefully it won't be too difficult!

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  The sentiment was stamped and then punched out with a circle and popped up.

'Grandma time' today, Friday night crafting tonight.  Sounds like a good day to me!

Have a terrific day!

The card - a really easy one - the hello is a Hero Arts die cut.  The gray ones are flat, the yellow one is popped up.   Super simple!

Well, I didn't get any stamping done yesterday.  I got totally sidetracked - my computer has been acting funny so I spent the entire day trying to get the computer files and photo files all organized and backed up just in case the whole thing decides to crash.  Nice to have it done, but I sure am glad I don't have a job where I have to sit at a computer all day!  Today I really need to get some household chores done - time to do somethings about at least part of the dust bunnies.  Stamping will have to wait for a few more days.  Also will need to get ready for class tonight.

Have a great day!

The card - the embossing folder I used for the background is from Hobby Lobby.  The stamped images on the panel are from Hero Arts and the sentiment is from Altnenew.  Just a simple black and white.

Wow - I have a totally free day and evening - that hasn't happened for a while.  And I didn't make a plan ....0h0h!  I think I should try and get some stamping done because I haven't had time to do much of that lately either!

Have a terrific day!

The card - sentiment is from SU.  Hearts are punched out, large heart is popped up on the tag.

Class this morning (and I need to get the table cleaned off!) and stitching at Hi Fashion tonight.  A busy day!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Not sure what the heck I'm doing today.  I do want to get some stitching projects ready since we have Black Sheep tomorrow.  Maybe I can work a nap into the busy schedule today :)

Have a terrific day!

Project Sunday - a new block of the month for 2017.  

Running a little late today - had Hudson overnight and Jeff just picked him up.  Didn't have a chance to do my usual morning routine.  Must get some chores done today - laundry would be at the top of the list!

Have a great day!

Have a terrific day!

Sorry, no photo today - can't seem to get  a picture to load to blogger - not sure what the problem is, but don't have time to figure it out right now.  Looking forward to an afternoon of stitching at our Wool Gatherer's group today!

Have a great day!
