Have a wonderful day!

The card - Patterned paper, curvy die cuts (SU) and matching stamp.  Easy peasy!

Guess it's time to start digging out the Christmas decorations.  Or maybe at least getting the fall stuff down and put away.   Going to Jeff & Sara's later today to help Hudson put up their tree.  That will be fun!

Have a great day!

The card - A bit of grunge stamped on the bottom panel.  The smaller center panel is die cut at the top.  The circle is die cut, the leaves are die cut and sponged on the edge and popped up.  

Plenty of chores to get done today.  I haven't cooked Thanksgiving dinner for the last several years, but we decided to follow the guidelines this year and not have a big get together.  So, I'm cooking dinner for just the 5 of us.  I'm off to the grocery for some last minute items and then I need to do some house cleaning.  

Have a wonderful day!

The card - strip along the bottom is patterned paper.  The tree branch is stamped in brown and the leaves are stamped with versamark and then embossed with gold embossing powder.  Add a sentiment, some bling and a bit of twine.  

I don't really have a plan for the day.  Hmmm....that's not good.  But I'll try to figure out what needs to be done before Thursday and get started!

Have a great day!

Photo Sunday - it's beginning to look like winter on Monarch Pass

It was a long day in the car yesterday, but nice to get away even if it was for just the day.  Relaxing for me to just sit and look at the scenery and talk - there was lots of talking going on....lol!

Today I need to get my yard cleaned up - pickup day for leaves tomorrow so I need to get them all blown or raked into the gutter.

Have a great day!

Have a terrific day!

The card - patterned paper, die cut leaves, die cut panel for sentiment and some twine.  How easy is that?

Gosh, I am sure missing my Thursday afternoon knitting friends.  Hopefully we'll be able to get back together soon!!!   No idea what to do today.  I should get some yard work done while the days are still nice.  Hmmmm....guess I'll think about that!

Have a great day!

The card - another 'curvy' one.  The bottom piece is die cut (SU) and then attached to the patterned paper.  The trees (Tim Holtz) are die cut and popped up.  Just add a sentiment.  Pretty darn easy!  

Today.....hmmmm.....not sure.  The house is clean, the laundry is done, so.....   It's supposed to be a nice day so maybe a bit of yard work.  Have to think about it!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - a brand new bundle from Stampin Up to play with - Quite Curvy.  The white piece is die cut at the bottom and then added to the top of the patterned piece.  The message is stamped along the curve and then just some added punched leaves and a prima flower.  

Time to get some cleaning done.  Not very excited, but it's been too long.  I'll get it over with and then have the rest of the week to play!  

Have a great day!

The card - I used some grunge stamps on the background and then die cut the leaf from some sparkly paper.  Sentiment is a die cut.  Added a bit of bling.  (this is one that definitely looks better in real life!)  

'Grandma time' today.  That's all!

Have a terrific day!

I either need to clean up my mess from yesterday or continue on and get some more stamping done....haven't quite decided yet!

Have a great day!

The card - Super simple!  Background is embossed.  Smaller panel is a piece of patterned paper with a sentiment added at the bottom.  Some added twine and a bit of bling.  Easy peasy!

Need to finish the laundry and then I have no idea.  Already missing my Thursday afternoon knitting friends (taking a break for a bit)  Feeling a little discombomulated these days......need to get myself organized!  

Have a wonderful day!

The card - the background panel is die cut on each side with the decorative die. (SU) The leaf is die cut from a piece that was stamped with the distress background .(SU)The gray and white stems were die cut.   A bit of bling, a twine bow and a sentiment.

An appointment first thing this morning and then ?   I have to make a decision about classes coming up.  Our county is experiencing higher cases of Covid (along with the rest of the country) so we have lost our Protect Your Neighbor status and we're back at level orange.  No gatherings outside family, etc.  So.....it looks like I might need to cancel my classes for a bit.  😢   Need to make a decision here soon!  Definite sad face!  

Hope you all are staying safe and doing well.  Enjoy your day!
