The card - not a lot of stamping on this one.  Patterned paper, some twine and a sentiment stamped, then punched out with a label punch and popped up.  Too easy!

Need to finish up in the house today and then hopefully I can get started on re-arranging and cleaning up the garage.  Looking forward to an evening of stitching with friends tonight!

Have a wonderful day!

'Grandma time' today!  That's it!   On a side note, the yard sale was a huge success!  I sold almost everything on Friday so didn't even open up on Saturday.  Woo hoo!   A nice guy in a pickup came by late Friday and loaded all the left overs up and took them to Salvation Army.  Double Woo hoo!  So glad to have that over with!  Now I can do a bit of straightening up and rearranging and I'll be done with the garage!!!!

Have a great day!

The card - lots of printed paper and a small stamped panel.  Flowers (SU) and sentiment are stamped directly on the small panel and then I tore the bottom edge and sponged around the edges.  The next layer is printed paper and the bottom edge is also town and the edges are sponged.

Back to work on the garage - boy, will I be glad when this is over.  The sorting is done, now it's just a matter of setting everything up for the yard sale  - it will be good when this is done!

The card - grunge background, birds (SU)and sentiment (SU).  Super easy!

Sorry I've been MIA for the last couple of days.  My printer died and so I had to deal with getting a new one and getting it all set up.  Now I'm good to go! 

Had a few days of fun with Grandam time but now it's time to get back to cleaning in the garage.  Sorting out rubber stamps is today's job. 

Have a great day!

The card - the background panel and the flowers are pre-printed pieces from SU.  I stamped the sentiment on the tag and added some ribbon.  Super easy!

I'm on a mission to get my garage cleaned out so I've been working on that in between other stuff.  It's going to take a while.  But, it will be good when it's done!!!!  So, I will work on that this morning and then go to Black Sheep Studio for some stitching time this afternoon.   Oh, and by the way, the Line Dancing class was awesome!  Leslie (at Dance Magic) is a great teacher  - I'm going to enjoy this class (and get some exercise at the same time!)

Have a wonderful day!

Chores this morning, stitching at Hi Fashion this afternoon  with the Wool Gatherers!  Tonight I'm going to a Line Dancing class - yep!  Haven't done any line dancing for at least 20 years - I wonder if my feet remember how!

Have a great day!
