The card - Dandelion Wishes from SU.  Love this new set!   

"Grandma time' today.  Yay!   That's pretty much it for the day!

Enjoy your day!

The card - just one more with the printed vellum.  No coloring on this one - I just attached it to a colored piece of card stock of the same size and then matted it with black and added a few pieces of bling and a die cut sentiment.    (This vellum is from Stampin Up - it's called Graceful Glass Designer Vellum and is on page 188 of the catalog!)

Gosh, I managed to stay focused yesterday and got all my inside chores done - yay!  Now, today it's time to do some yard work and I need to get out there this morning before it gets too hot - the 104 degree temps are getting a little warm for me!  So, I'm off for a walk, then mowing the lawn.  Looking forward to dinner out with a friend tonight!

Have a great day!

Just in case you are interested:



The card - here's one more using the vellum printed sheets from SU.  I attached these using some tiny specks of clear glue .  

Planning on a day of catching up on chores.  Somehow my plans for yesterday just didn't work out - I kept getting totally sidetracked.  So, today I plan on getting everything done I was going to do yesterday!   LOL!  (It's just a plan, right?)   Looking forward to doing some stitching tonight with friends!

Have a great day!

The card - this is another piece of the printed vellum from SU.  I just colored the back side with Copics.  The sentiment is heat embossed with white.

Eye Dr. this morning, class tonight.  Hopefully I can get some chores done in between. 

Have a wonderful day!

The card - more of this cool dandelion set from SU.  Sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.  Easy layout.

Lots of 'Grandma time' over the weekend and more today! 

Have a great day!

The card - another new set - Emily also gave me this Dandelion (SU) set for my birthday!  It really is my favorite from the new catalog!  The yellow is also new - one of the new In-Colors.  Fun stuff!

'Grandma time' today.  That's it.  Some Friday night crafting tonight.  Looking forward to a fun day!

Enjoy your day!

The card - some new stuff!  My friend Emily gave me this cool pad of SU embossed vellum paper for my birthday!  You color the back of the piece (I used Copics) and then I attached it to a strip of white paper.  Pretty darn cool!  I will be doing more cards with this paper!

Awww....a free day!   I think the birthday celebrations are over til next year.  Wow - what awesome friends and family I have!  I am truly blessed.  I plan on getting some stamping done today since I'm fairly caught up on other chores.  Hopefully I can be productive!

Have a terrific day!

The card - I love this card!    Lots of stuff though - the background is embossed (Stampin Up), the spotches are just some grunge, the strips are washi tape, and the circle is a die cut (Stampin Up.)  The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink and then there's just some bling and ribbon.  Whew!  

Another birthday celebration today!  It's been quite a week!  I think I've had a birthday celebration almost every day since last Tuesday.  What fun!  So, my friend Judy and I are going to lunch and then a stroll down Main Street, - maybe even a movie.  Sounds good to me!  Then I have friends coming over to stitch tonight (just a regular evening, no bday stuff involoved!)  So, it's going to be a very good day!

Hope you all have a very good day too!

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - some pretty stuff up on the Colorado National Monument   (Jeff's website)

Not sure what's happening today.  I was going to watch Hudson while Jeff did some work in the back yard, but it's supposed to rain (just a few sprinkles so far) so not sure if that plan is going to happen.  We'll see!

Have a terrific day!

The card - more printed paper.  This paper is so pretty in real life - the bottom part has shiny silver dots in it and the top part has leaves that are glossy.  So cool.  I just added a a die cut butterfly and a sentiment.  Quick and easy.

'Grandma time' today - yay!  And another birthday dinner tonight.  Oh yeah, I love birthday month!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - left side is an embossed bithday panel and right side is a flower from Penny Black.  I inked the flower with markers.

Aww....June.....my birthday month!  The celebrations have been a little slow in coming this year, but now we're getting to it!   A friend treated me to dinner last night and tonight we'll be celebrating at our Shoebox Club!  Yay!   But, first I need to get some chores done this morning and then I'll be off to our Wool Gatherer's meeting this afternoon.  A fun day!

Have a great day!

The card - just a simple kraft and white card.  The flower stamp is from SU (a very old one).  I inked the stamped with markers.  The top smaller panel is popped up.

Off to Hi Fashion today for some stitching time - although I still have to get my project ready - I got the pieces cut yesterday, but they are not attached......oh oh.  Better get to work.

Have a terrific day!

The card - a little more printed paper.  Just punched some circles out and added a sentiment, some ribbon and a little bling.  Background is embossed.  Super easy!

A lot of 'Grandma time' lately.  That's ok by me, but I sure don't get much done!  I have a class this morning and then friends coming over to stitch tonight.  I must spend the afternoon getting something put together or I won't have anything to stitch on!   And right now I'm hoping to get in gear and get the lawn mowed before class this morning!  So, I better get with it.

Have a terrific day!

The card - Just something a little different.  I think I would like it better with a different choice of colors.  The strip down the left side is washi tape and the right side is an old script stamp.  I inked the flower with markers.

A bit of a free morning (not sure what I'm going to do) but I'm looking forward to our Wool Gatherer's Group at Hi Fashion this afternoon.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - more printed paper.  The panel is a piece of green card stock with a strip of printed paper and a strip of kraft.  Just added some twine and a sentiment.

Didn't get my yard work done yesterday - it got too hot (should have done it first I guess)  So, today is yard work day - or yard work morning anyway!  Hopefully this afternoon I can get a bit of stamping done (I'm out of cards again) and then I have friends coming over later to stitch. 

Have a great day!

The card - just some more paper.  The strips along the side are 1/4 " strips cut from one piece of patterned paper and then attached leaving a tiny space between each strip.  I added a couple of  Prima flower that started out white, but I sponged ithem with a bit of pink.  

Aw....a free day!   Time to clean my house.  That seems to be one job that gets away from me these days - but I've learned that other things are much more important so it gets done on a irregular basis these days 😊  But today is the day along with yard work. 

Have a great day!

The card - just some black and white.  Stripes across the center is a piece of printed paper.  Sentiment is stamped on white and then punched with a label punch (whoa, it's really crooked!).  Leaves at the top are a die cut and leaves at the bottom are stamped.

'Grandma time' today.  We get to begin another session of Kindermusik - fun!

Have a terrific day!

Off to Weight Watcher's this morning and then some extra 'Grandma time' today - yay!

Have a great day!

The card - more printed paper used as a accent.  I attached the printed paper and then stamped directly over it with the black flower.

'Grandma time' today!  Yay!  Friday night crafting tonight.

Have a wonderful day!
