The card - flower is from Darkroom Door.  I inked the stamp with markers, punched it out in a circle and then popped it up.  The strips under the circle are washi tape.

Boring old chores today...laundry is at the top of the list!  

Have a terrific day!

The card - another super easy one.  Used some of SU's Color Theory paper, cut to size for the front panel and then just used a nice big sentiment stamp and added some bling! 

Didn't get much accomplished yesterday....had one of those days that I just couldn't get motivated to do anything.  Hopefully I can get some stamping done today....that's my goal anyway!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - a super simple one today.  I stamped the sentiment on the white panel and then cut a curvy line at the bottom and added some prima flowers along the curve.  

Have a lot of 'chores' and stuff I need to get done this week.  Now I just need to work up some energy and get motivated.  Hmmmmm.

Have a terrific day!

Project Sunday - my August 'Block of the Month'

Ok......today I really am going to get some stamping done!  My plan for that didn't exactly work out yesterday, but that's ok.  Ended up going to lunch with a friend and then we came back and did some stitching and watched 2 movies!  Fun afternoon!  And I even got the file drawers in the classroom cleaned out last night.  Had a great day and then managed to be productive too!  Yay for me!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - flowers are from SU.  Both flowers are stamped twice, punched out and then popped up.  One flower was stamped full strength, the other I stamped off to make it a bit lighter in color.  The leaves are punched out and then scrunched up a bit.

Have a great day!

"Grandma time' today PLUS I have company coming.  A cousin I haven't seen in close to 40 years is coming for a visit.  It will be good to catch up!  Looking forward to her visit.  My weekend is up in the air, not sure how long my cousin will be here so I may not have a chance to post.  If not, I'll be back on Monday!

Have a terrific day!

The card - stamped sentiment and chair die cut are from SU.  I tore some kraft cardstock for 'the sand' and layered the chair with 2 different colors of die cuts to give it a bit more dimension.  Some grunge spots on the kraft added to the 'sand' effect.

Found out I was having some unexpected company tomorrow, so I have chores I need to get done today!  And we're celebrating a birthday at our Shoebox club tonight - that is always fun!  Better get to work :)

Have a great day!
