The card - more flip flops.  I used some kraft card stock for the sand - torn edge at the top and then I sponged the edge.  The flip flops are popped up.

Busy day today - must get the lawn mowed first thing before it gets too hot, then lunch with a friend and then another friend is coming over to stitch this evening.  Should keep me from getting bored today  :)

Have a great day!

'Grandma time' today.  That's all.

Have a terrific day!

The card - just some flip flops and washi tape.  Easy peasy!   (the flip flops are cut out and popped up and I added a brad)

Whoa, first Friday in a long while that Hudson won't be here.  He's still off visitng family with his Mom.  So....my friend Judy and I are off on an adventure.  Nothing too exciting, just a little trip to Delta for lunch.  We'll try to stay out of trouble :)   maybe......

Have a terrific day!

The card - and more vases.  There are just so many ideas for these vases....love this set!  

More chores today - my list is long and I was busy all day yesterday - however it turns out all the stuff I got done, none of it was on my list!  LOL!   Oh well.  Maybe today! 

Enjoy your day!

The card - super simple one today.  Some grunge stamps and a birthday sentiment (from Papertrey Ink).  

 Chores to do - lots of them.  I have a whole list of things to get done this week.  Hudson is off with his Mom visiting family in Denver, so I need to take advantage of the next few days and get some stuff done.  Well, that's my goal anyway!  Today is yard work. 

Have a great day!

The card - more vases......so many things you can do with this set from SU.

'Grandma time' today and tonight.  Poor guy was sick all day yesterday so we ended up on the sofa most of the day.  And when I say sick, I mean the throwing up kind of sick.  And he happened to be sitting on my lap each and every time.  Several changes of clothes (for both of us) and several loads of laundry with blankets and towels.  What a day!  Been a good many years since I've had to deal with that.  But we survived and I'm hoping he is all better today!

Have a great day!

Photo Sunday - Grand Mesa

Lots of 'Grandma time' this weekend.  Jeff is off on a photo taking expedition and Sara is working.   OK by me.   Not sure what we'll do today, maybe the Palisade Farmer's Market - we'll see.

Have a great day!

The card - love my Penny Black stamps - have to dig them out once in a while!  The right side is an old script border stamp and the left side is two strips of washi tape.  I inked the flower stamp with markers.

'Grandma time' today.  Looking forward to a fun day with a friend and her grandkids.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - more vases.  The blue and the green on this card are two of SU's new colors.  I like the way they look with crumb cake!

Time to mow the lawn.  That's my job today.  I'm thinking that I may take a drive up to the mountains this afternoon.  Haven't had my camera out of the bag in months and it's way cooler up there.... it's supposed to hit a 103 today, so it just may be time for a little photo trip!

Have a great day!

The card - a simple birthday one using some printed paper and a little added twine.   The stamped images are from SU.  

Hmmm...never got around to getting any of the things done yesterday that I had planned on.  Got so sidetracked with some computer stuff that ended up pretty much wasting the whole day!  Ugh!  Oh well....moving on.  Today's plan is to at least get a bit of housework done!   But looking forward to a fun evening stitching with friends.

Have a great day!

The card - Vase and flowers from SU.  The flowers are stamped on the background piece, the vase is stamped and then punched out and popped up.

Yard work and maybe a little house cleaning - that's my goal for the day anyway!

Have a great day!

The card - yep, it's true - I love my flip flops!   One of my favorite stamp sets from Paper Trey Ink.  The flip flops are stamped, cut out and popped up.  I used some old handmade paper I found in my drawer for the sand.  (Sandpaper also works well)

'Grandma time' today.  That's it!

Have a terrific day!

The card - more vases.  The vase is stamped,  then punched out with the cordinating punch and popped up.   The flowers are a two-step stamp, the outline is stamped with black and the fill in is navy blue.

'Grandma time' today, Friday night crafting tonight.  That's all.

Have a great day!

The card - another new SU set called Varied Vases.  I'm having so much fun with this set!  So many ideas for this one.  Simple, layout, but I like it!

Yard work this morning (didn't get the lawn mowed yesterday) and then off to get a haircut.  That's all I have planned for the day, but hopefully I can get motivated to get some other chores done!

Have a terrific day!

The card - dandelion, a sentiment, some twine and bling.  Easy peasy!

Turns out I have a free day today.  I better try to get some stamping done - out of cards again!  But, the lawn needs to be mowed too, so I'll see what I can get done!  (a nap sounds good!!!)

Have a great day!

The card - more dandelion....love this stamp set!   I stamped the image on a piece of white cardstock, then cut it into strips before mounting it on the black.  The panel is popped up.

Sorry I missed yesterday.  Just totally spaced it out.  It was a 'Grandma time' day, so I never even remembered until much later.  Today I have to get ready for a class this morning, and then a friend is coming over to stitch tonight.  Maybe I'll get something accomplished in between - or not!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - just some cool printed paper.  The sentiment was even included in this 6 x 6 paper pad. 

'Grandma time' today.  Tonight we're off to a GJ Rockies game.  We get to watch the game and the fireworks from 'the enclosed tower room.'  Woohoo! 

Have a great day!

The card - more dandelions.  The center panel is matted and popped up and has some twine wrapped around.  Easy!

Lawn work this morning.  Looking forward to our Wool Gatherer's group at Hi Fashion this afternoon!

Have a great day!

Hope everyone is
having a super holiday!

Enjoy!

The card - more dandelions from SU.  I usd a Papertrey Ink grunge stamp behind the flowers.  I stamped one full strength and then stamped a couple more without re-inking the stamp to get a little bit lighter look.

Grocery shopping this morning and then an afternoon of stitching at Hi Fashion.  Looking forward to a nice relaxing afternoon!

Have a wonderful day!
