The care - this card didn't really scan very well....it looks much better in real life :)  It's a simple card, but works well for a sympathy card, I think.  I used an embossed background and then just added a leaf die cut to the smaller panel along with the sentiment.  The small panel is popped up.

Lots of paper work to get done this morning from a Thirty-One party last night.  Thanks, Karen Holt for that great party!  (she had a super group of ladies and ended up getting a ton of free stuff!)  After I get all that organized this afternoon I am going to meet a friend at The Craft Studio downtown and spend a couple of hours knitting!

Enjoy your day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  I stamped the background stamp, added some splotches.  The butterflies are stamped then punched out and popped up.

Not a lot going on today, but I have a Thirty-One party tonight so I need to get myself organized and stuff put together for that.

Have a great day!

Time for a day at the pool...
check out these awesome bags!

I really need to focus on stamping today!  Hopefully I won't get sidetracked - that seems to happen a lot these days!

Have a great day!

The card - flower stamp is from SU.  I stamped it in black, matted it with black and then added some black checked ribbon.  The panel is then popped up.  An embossed border down the side adds a bit of decoration and is super simple.

'Grandma time' today and then Friday night crafting.   I've had a bit of baby withdrawal the last few days, but oh my, I've actually gotten some stuff done around here.  I never got around to doing any stamping, but the closets (the ones with clothes) are cleaned out, the garage is straightened up and the lawn is fertilized! Yay!

Have a terrific day!

The card - Some printed paper, flowers and leaves from Prima and a sentiment.  Wow - super easy!  The sentiment block is popped up and I added some pearls in the center of the flowers.

Gosh, I'm on a roll these days.  Got the closets cleaned out yesterday and have a trunk full of stuff to take to Goodwill.  Have a few errands to get done today, but think I'll try to find some time to get some stamping done too!

Have a great day!

The card - a nice, easy one.  I embossed the back panel and then just added a punched butterfly and a sentiment.  I stamped the butterfly on some Tim Holtz printed paper in black and then punched it out.

Time to get my closets cleaned out.  Half of the winter clothes are still still mixed in with some of the summer stuff.  Time to get it organized.

Have a terrific day!

The card - mores super simple.  The flower is from Hero Arts and the sentiment is Stampabilities (Hobby Lobby)  The black paper is actually printed dark gray - it just doesn't show up well.  The flower panel is popped up to add a little dimension.  

Awww....a free day!  Oh my.  Plenty to do, just haven't made a plan so not sure where to start.  My only actual goal is to get fertilizer on the lawn today!  I should be able to manage that :)

Have a great day!

The card - super simple (that's the name of the game these days!)  The strip is washi tape and I just added a Prima flower and leaf on top, then a sentiment at the end.  

I did finally get a bit of stamping done over the weekend.  Hopefully this week we'll be back on schedule and life will be back to normal (or at least what passes for normal around here!)  Today is 'Grandma time' and then I have a Thirty-One party here tonight.  So, I'm off to get a few last minute things done before Huidson arrives!

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - May's Block of the Month truck.  

Off to breakfast and then Black Sheep Sunday.  Looking forward to a day of stitching - I've missed Black Sheep the last couple of months so it will be nice to see everyone and catch up!

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - This is what it looked like on Grand Mesa just 2 days ago.  Yep, this is springtime in Colorado.  We only had rain here in the valley, but it has been way cold the last few days.  So far it looks like my flowers made it through ok and it's supposed to warm up now - yay!

Whew - today is the first day I've had free for a while.  Love that Hudson and  having him for most of two weeks has been awesome, but I haven't gotten anything done!  Lots to do today....I just have a feeling there is not going to be enough hours in just one day to accomplish it all!  But I'll give it a good try!

Have a wonderful day!

This is a Thirty-One All-In Organizer.  It is just the right size for storing SU Stamp sets, plus I use SU's empty cases for die cuts and wood mounted stamps, so they all fit in here!  
You can find it here

Another day of 'Grandma time' and then Friday night crafting!   (the babysitter got stuck in a snow storm over by Denver)

Have a great day!

This is a Thirty-One 'Littles Carry-All".  I have several of these I use - they are just the right size for embossing folders!  I also have one I use for SU stamp sets that I am using for class.  When the month is over I know just where those sets are to put the pieces of the set away that I've been using.  

Shop Here for these!

'Grandma time' today, class tonight (hmmm...a repeat of yesterday :)

Have a great day!

Sorry, still haven't gotten any stamping done, so for the next couple of days I am going to show you some organization ideas!  I just got these drawers to put my washi tape in.  I saw them (probably on Pinterest ) and decided to give them a try.  Wow - I love them.  I got them from Amazon (stackable 3-drawer organizer for glasses)  I had all my washi tape just thrown in a plastic bin - this is so much better!!!!  

Today is 'Grandma time' and then class tonight.

Have a terrific day!

More storage + easy accessibility = a win-win. The Stand Tall Insert is the perfect addition for all those summer essentials!

Sorry, no card today!  I haven't had any time to get any stamping done - hopefully I can get some done tonight.  I am getting so far behind.....but there seems to be so much going on I can't keep up.

I did get most of my flowers planted yesterday - whew!  One  job out of the way.  I have just a few left to do, but that will have to wait til at least Friday!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - (sorry, the card didn't scan very well , it's out of focus!)  Hopefully you get the idea.  The stamped images are from SU.  The two black & white strips are washi tape.  The background flowers and leaves are stamped in black.  The flowers are stamped with black, sponged with pink and then punched out and popped up.

Trading days with the babysitter this week, so I won't have Hudson today.  I have a lot to get done though because I will have him for the next three days.  I really would like to get my flowers planted today - that's my goal!

Have a terrific day.

the perfect tote - @ Becky's Website

The card - another simple black and white.  I stamped the thank you script on the small panel and then just stamped the butterfly over the top.  An embossed background help make it not so plain.

"Grandma time' today and Friday night crafting tonight.  The best kind of day!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped images are from Tim Holtz.  I stamped 3 different flowers in a couple of different colors.  Added a sentiment and a little bling - pretty easy!

More "Grandma time' today.  The babysitters little girl is still sick, so better Hudson is here than there :).  Not a problem for me!  We have our Shoebox Club tonight (good thing I had enough energy left last night to make a card!!!)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - a simple card with just a few extra layers ::)   I stamped the sentiment on the small white panel, then added a piece of patterned paper .  The butterfly (from Hero Arts) is stamped over the patterned paper.    (sorry about the crooked stuff going on here - I must have been having issues with straight!)

Some extra 'Grandma time' today.  The babysitter's little girl is sick, so Hudson will stay with me today.

Have a great day!

The card - another simple black and white.  I the two small pieces are popped up with the sentiment stamped on the card front between them.

Class this morning and I need to get the class room cleaned up and the card kits cut and bagged- yep, I'm just a little behind!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - a simple black and white.  The leaves are from Hero Arts.  A few added pieces of bling and it's done!

"Grandma time' today, knitting at The Craft Studio tonight.

An extra day of Grandma time today - yay!  And then an unexpected visit from one of my California cousins tonight - yay!  It's going to be a great day!

The card - got a new embossing folder the other day ...I like it!  The right side of the small panel is stamped a couple of times with a grunge stamp.  The butterfly is punched out and popped up.  The entire small panel is also popped up.

"Grandma time' today and Friday night crafting tonight.  Yay - looking forward to a fun day!

Enjoy your day!

The card - simple enough....a Magenta stamp, stamped in black with some black string and a sentiment.

Need to finish up some stuff this morning....had good intentions yesterday, but couldn't stay focused so didn't get as much done as I planned.  I'll get most of it done this morning and then enjoy an afternoon at Wool Gatherer's at Hi Fashion.

Have a terrific day!

The card - got some new Altenew stamps.  Love these flowers.  A simple layout.  The flowers are stamped (3 layers), cut out and popped up on the banner.

The plan today is to get some housework done.  Hmmm....the plan may change depending on my mood :)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - flower stamp is an old stamp from Magenta.  I stamped the image on the card front with a matching color of ink to get just a shadow effect.  I inked the stamp with markers for the color on the white panel.

Time to get some stamping done and looking forward to dinner out with a friend tonight.

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  The strips are washi tape.  The sentiment is popped up.  

"Grandma time' today, knitting at The Craft Studio tonight.  Looking forward to that, it's been a few weeks since I've been able to go.  (and I need all the knitting time I can get so I can finish this afghan I'm working on before it gets too hot!!)

Have a terrific day!
