The card - a little grunge, some patterned paper, a sentiment and a scrunched up, sponged leaf with some twine.  Can't get much easier than that.

Back home, it was a short trip (much too short!).  But it was good to get away for even a couple of days and Sherry was such a gracious hostess.  Have some new stamps, some new wool and patterns and some fun yarn for a couple of projects.  All is good! 

Back to the regularly scheduled program.....'Grandma time' today, Friday night crafting tonight. 

Have a wonderful day!

The card - just some random leaves in a variety of colors.  Leaves are from SU.  

Enjoying my time away from home :)  The drive over the mountains was beautiful ....love those fall colors.  Had time to do a bit of shopping when I got here (new stamps - yay!) and then had Five Guys for dinner, oh so yummy!  Then  Sherry took me to a yarn shop for some work time....I got a bit of knitting done, but was more entralled watching the ladies spin yarn, do needle punch and rug hooking. 

Off to my Thirty-One meeting this morning and then I will go visit the wool shop, meet Sherry after work for some more shopping and then dinner.  Life is Good!

Enjoy your day!

The card - I punched a circle and then used that piece to sponge the circle.  The flowers (from Unity) are stamped in black over the top.

Off to the eastern slope today to visit my friend Sherry and to attend a Thirty-One meeting tomorrow.  So looking forward to cranking up the music and seeing the fall colors.  It's been soooo long since I've been out of town that even this short little road trip is going to be awesome!

Have a great day!

The card - not much stamping.  The background is strips of patterned paper.  The leave is punched out, crumpled up and sponged.  The leaf is also popped up and I added some twine.  Easy!

'Grandma time' today, stitching with friends this evening.  It will be a good day!

Happy stampin'

The card - a simple layout.  Background is embossed, small square panel is popped up.  Stamped image is from Verve.

Chores today - although at this point I can't remember what chores I was planning on doing today - oh oh!  Have to take my car in for a service this afternoon.  Looking forward to a High School Choir concert tonight!

Have a great day!

The card - some printed paper, a leaf stamp and a sentiment.  Easy peasy!  I stamped the leaf lightly on the card front (stamping off) and full strength on the cream panel, plus a couple of stamped off ones.  The cream panel is popped up.

Off on an adventure day with my friend Judy S.  It's been too long.  We'll try to stay out of trouble..lol.

Have a great day!

The card - background square was made by inking up a square clear block and stamping it directly on the white panel.  I then stamped the leaft and script images (from SU) on top of the square.  Some added twine and a couple layers of colored panels.

Lots of chores to get done today.  I'm hoping to stay motivated and get them all marked off the list!  Class tonight.

Enjoy your day!

The card - a quick and easy sympathy card.  The background border on the left is from SU.  The leaf stamp and the sentiment are from Verve.  

'Grandma time' today.  It's a Kindermusik day, fun for all!

A weight watcher update....as of Saturday morning I have lost 25 lbs.  Yay!  Getting closer to my goal!

Have a great day!

The card - dug out an old stamp, but one of my favorites for this one.  Just added some patterned paper and twine at the bottom.

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

Have a wonderful day!

The card - background is sponged using a stencil with some added grunge.  The leaves are punched from an embossed piece and popped up.  Some added twine and a sentiment.

Some stitching time today at our Wool Gatherer's Club and then stamping time with our Shoebox Club tonight.  And I must get the stamping room cleaned up this morning......LOL.....it's a disaster from my stamping marathon yesterday!

Have a great day!

The card - flowers are from Tim Holtz, stamped randomly on the small panel.  The background panel is embossed.  The ribbon is attached on top of the larger panel and then the small panel is popped up on top.  

Class this morning, stitching with friends this afternoon/evening.  Hopefully I can be motivated to get a few errands done in between.

Have a great day!

The card - my favorite - kraft and black!  Flowers are from Unity, stamped several times with kraft without re-inking.  Some added printed paper and ribbon - quick and easy!

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

Enjoy your day!

The card - (sorry, bad scan - too much bulk caused shadows.)   Background is embossed leaving the bottom edge plain.  The center pieces are die cuts and are both popped up.  Flowers and sentiment are from SU.  

Chores this morning and then time to go watch Tom Cruise in the new Mission Impossible movie and then to dinner.  It's going to be a good day!

(tonilea - not my birthday yesterday - it was my friend Deb's husband's birthday. I draw the line at making my own cake LOL!)

Have a terrific day!

The card - background panel is embossed.  Outline flowers are from SU.  I stamped everything in black, but added just a touch of color with markers on the stems and the bottom of the flowers.

Knitting class this morning, birthday dinner tonight.  I'm going to try and get the lawn mowed this morning before knitting and then I still have to bake a cake too.  Full day.

Have a great day!

The card - flowers are from Tim Holtz, sentiment is Lawn Fawn.  I stamped some background flowers very lightly with kraft, then stamped a variety of colors over the top.  Sentiment is stamped with black.  Background panel is embossed and I added some twine at the bottom of the smaller panel.

Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend.  I can hardly believe that it is September!   I love fall, but I'm not ready for winter!   Couldn't summer last just a little longer, please?

Have a great day!
