The card - love my black and white!  Super simple card.  Patterned paper, image stamped on die cut panel and an added sentiment popped up.  So easy!

Big yard project coming up next week so I need to get some stamping done today because there won't be much time next week!  I got totally side tracked yesterday and didn't even make it to the stamp room - oops!  So, since it's supposed to rain it's a good day to stay home and stamp!  (that's my plan and I'm sticking to it - 😂)

Have a great day!

Have a few errands to run this morning and then hopefully some time in the stamp room.  

Have a great day!

The card - super easy!  The entire front is one piece of patterned paper.  I die cut the rectangle out, popped it up and attached it back in the cut out opening.  Easy peasy!

We had such fun with Ethan's birthday party yesterday.  Not sure he knew what it was all about, but he was so funny!    Great fun!

'Grandma time' with both boys today.  (Hudson doesn't have school today)  That's all.

Have a wonderful day!




Photo Sunday .....

Birthday party dinner today.  Ethan turns 2!   Got a little sidetracked yesterday so didn't get quite all my work done.  But that's ok.  Just a bit more to do this morning.  Better get to it :)

Have a wonderful day!

Have some free time this morning but then Ethan is coming to spend some 'Grandma time'.  Hudson is having some friends over to play and we decided it would be good if Ethan wasn't around to bother them  :)

Photo Sunday - a beautiful night picture of where I live.  (a friend posted this picture on FB - I have no idea who originally took it!)  

Wow - yesterday was an awesome day!  We ended up going all the way to Ouray.  (a little mountain town) Hadn't been there for years so that was great fun!  Lunch and shopping all the way back home.  A totally relaxing day!

Today is going to be an all-day stamping day with my friend Karen.   (have new goodies that I bought yesterday to play with - woohoo!)    Hope to be productive but it's ok even if I'm not!  :)

Have a great day!
