The card - super simple today - a border stamp that I added some prima flowers to, some added string and a sentiment.  Super simple!

Class this morning and some errands this afternoon.

Have a great day!

The card - flowers are from SU, sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.  The small center panel is popped up.

Today must be spent getting the card kits ready for classes this week!  I'm glad I don't have any other commitments today :)  It's going to be a busy week so I better make the most of the day!

Have a terrific day!

Project Sunday - this is one of the 'Block of the Month' projects I am doing.  

Off to breakfast and then on to Black Sheep Sunday for a full day of stitching fun!

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - on the Colorado National Monument

More Grandma time today.  But I need to get the class projects finished up this morning before I get to the fun stuff!

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  The airplane is cut out and popped up.

I really need to work on class projects this morning.....they need to be done soon!  Hopefully I can at least get started.  But....this afternoon is Grandma time - woo hoo!  Looking forward to Friday night crafting tonight!

Have a terrific day!

The card - another flower from Altenew.  The sentiment is from SU.  When I stamp these flowers and leaves I just use my SU ink and pick three (or four) shades of whatever color I want the flower to be.  If I don't have three shades of a color I may just use two and stamp off to make it lighter.  

Looking forward to an afternoon of stitching at our Wool Gatherer's Group this afternoon.

Have a wonderful day!

Note:  I am not a Stampin Up demonstrator nor do I sell stamps.  I am glad to tell you the brand and name of the stamp I used if you send me an e-mail but you will have to purchase it elsewhere.  Most of the time the layout could be used by using an entirely different stamp other than the exact one I've used.

Please remember - if you have a question about a card please send an e-mail to scrapandstampgj@aol.com You most likely won't get an answer to your question if you put the question in a comment.

The card - I bought another set of Altenew stamps - this one is called Vintage Flowers.  The flowers and leaves are cut out and one of the roses and the sentiment is popped up.  The background is a stencil that I sponged.

Grandma time this morning, then I'm meeting my visitors for lunch before they take off for home.  I will miss having them around - it's been a fun 4 days!

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Balloons are done with SU's punch.  The balloons are popped up.

Off for some sight seeing today - taking the company up the the Monument.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - background grunge is from SU, leaves and sentiment are from Papertrey Ink.

Spending time with my company today.

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - here's the baby blanket I made a couple weeks ago.  Whew - decided working with that 'minky stuff' is not for me - very messy!

Lots to do today - have company arriving today so must get the mess from yesterday cleaned up and get noodles made for dinner tonight.

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - just one more of baby Hudson....I am so enjoying the 'grandma thing' !!!!!!

The Good Time Girls are coming today - woo hoo!  I have no idea what I'm going to work on, but it doesn't really matter.  It's been so long since we've gotten together for a work day that I am looking forward to just enjoying the day!

Have a great day!

The card - this is the card I did for our Shoebox Club last month.  The background is printed paper and I just stamped the flowers in black on top of the paper.  Added a sentiment, some ribbon and bling at the bottom.

Off to spend some 'grandma time' with Hudson.  Woo hoo!  Looking forward to Friday night crafting tonight too!  It's going to be an awesome day!

Have a terrific day.

The card - super simple but I love this look!  I inked the stamp (SU) with markers and then just used a water pen to color in the flower and leaves.  

I sure didn't much accomplished yesterday - I kept getting sidetracked - hmmmm - that seems to happen to me a lot.  I think I'll try a little harder today because I'd really like to get some more stamping done.

Have a great day!

The card - flowers are from SU, sentiment is from Altenew.  The flowers in the background are stamped with Sahara sand, and then I inked the stamp with markers for the top layer of flowers.

I think I'll try to get a bit more stamping done today since I already have a mess - no sense in cleaning it up if I'm just going to make more of a mess, right?

Have a great day!

The tulip table runner I posted on Sunday is called "tulips" and is by Cath's Pennies Designs.

The card - something a little different and a bit out of my box..... Stamped images are from Hero Arts.  Black and white strips are patterned paper.

It's cold and windy, not a very nice day.  But, a good day to stay inside and get some stamping done.  That's my plan and hopefully I will stick to it!

Have a great day!

The card - flowers and leaves are from Altenew.  I love working with these 3-4 step flowers - so much fun!

Have a bit of clean-up to do from yesterday but then I have a whole afternoon of stitching at Hi-Fashion to look forward to this afternoon.  Yay!

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - a table runner I made for spring.

Happy Easter!

Photo Saturday - another baby picture :)

Not much happening today, mostly getting the house cleaned for tomorrow and hoping that I haven't forgotten anything I need for dinner!

Have a great day!

The card - Stamped images are from SU.  I used a mask to stamp the images because they were overlapped.  

Another 'baby day' - spending the afternoon helping out with Hudson.  I probably should try and get something accomplished this morning.....we'll see how that goes!  Looking forward to Friday night crafting.

Have a great day!

The card - stamped image is from Inkadinkado.  I stamped the image in black and then colored just one part to match the patterned paper.

A 'baby day' today - yay!  Sara needs some help this afternoon so I get to spend time with the grandson - woo hoo!

Have a wonderful day!


To answer a question from Monday's card the embossing folder I used was from Sizzix.  I have no idea what the name of it is.






Please remember - if you have a question about a card please send an e-mail to scrapandstampgj@aol.com You probably won't get an answer to your question if you put the question in a comment.

The card - patterned paper, a balloon punch (SU), some twine and a sentiment - how easy is that?

Not sure what I'm going to tackle today - I did get the garage straightened up yesterday so that is done.  There's more to do out there, but at least everything is put away and I can walk through there without tripping on something!  I may try to get some stamping done today.  Looking forward to dinner with a friend tonight!

Have a great day!

The card - super simple.  Flower stamp is from SU.  I stamped it, then used a water pen to add a bit more color to the leaves.  Added a sentiment and some twine. 

Oh my, so much I want to get done this week.  The garage is at the top of that list.  I'm hoping to work up enough ambition to start on that today.  We'll see.

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  The large flower in the center is cut out and popped up.  The center square panel is also popped up.

Awww....back to a somewhat regular schedule this week.  The kids have decided they can handle things on their own now....I'm going to miss the daily 'baby fix' though.   I'm here if they need me, but I do need to get some chores done around here - first up would be to get the mess cleaned up from our blanket making weekend!  And then I better get ready for class tonight.

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - a table mat that was a free pattern at our January Black Sheep meeting.  

Off to the grocery store this morning then I need to finish the binding on my blanket (for the second time).  Then I need to clean up the mess, prepare some food and take dinner out to Jeff & Sara's.  Shouldn't have time to be bored today!

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - father & son

Working on blankets today - actually what we're doing is finishing up stuff we started last night.  Sewing is definitely not my strong point, but this blanket is just too cute....however......I hate the way the binding came out, so today I'm going to rip it out and try to do it better.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - here's another one with the flower and leaves from Altenew.  Loving these flowers......  

Lots going on today - need to get to the grocery store first thing this morning.  Then will be going out to Jeff's to spend the afternoon.  Looking forward to a fun Friday night crafting tonight!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - die cut from SU - I sponged the die cut on this one.

Jeff is going back to work today so I will go out to stay with Sara and baby this afternoon (Sara's Mom will be there this morning).  More baby fix - yay!  He's just too darn cute and cuddly!  Then I'll come home and get ready for class tonight when Jeff gets home from work.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - flowers are from SU, sentiment is from Altenew and the embossing folder is from Hobby Lobby. 

I should have some time to get something done around here today - don't have to go out to Jeff;s until time to take them dinner.  We'll see what I can talk myself into doing :)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - this die cut from SU makes for a very fast and simple, yet elegant card.

Off to do a couple of errands and then I will wait for Jeff to call and tell me what he needs me to do today!  Loving the new addition to the family - he's just so little and so cute!

Have a great day!

The card - a simple layout using SU's balloon punch.  

Dad, Mom and baby (Hudson Ray) all doing fine.  They are going home today, so this morning I am going to the grocery store and then out to their house to get things ready so they can just relax today.

Have a wonderful day!

Hmmm.....I never got around to the garage again yesterday.  But....I had a really good reason!  Was at the hospital all day welcoming my very first grandchild into the world!  Yay!  So adorable!   

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - an amazing sand castle on the beach in San Diego, CA.  

I really am going to work in the garage today - really!  At least that's my plan!

Have a great day!

The card - here's another one with the same flower as yesterday.  I think I will have to get some more stamps from this company.  The name of this one is 'Beautiful Day' and it is on their website (Altenew)  Someone ask about dies - I cut this out by hand.  

Not sure what the plan is for today.  I never got around to working in the garage the other day - it was too cold.  Maybe today!  Looking forward to Friday night crafting!

Have a great day!

The flower on this card is done with a new stamp set I picked up a while back from a company called Altenew.  Love it.  The flower and leaves are done in three steps  and come out so cool!  

Tonight is our Shoebox Club and as usual I don't have the slightest idea what I'm doing for a project.  Guess I better get to work on that!

Have a great day!

The card - can't beat the look of a simple black and white card.

I'm going to try and get a little clean-up work done in the garage today if it's not too cold.  Not sure how I've ended up with such a mess out there, but it really needs a little TLC.

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Added some patterned paper at the bottom and some string around the top panel.  Pretty darn easy!

Need to get ready for class this morning and then I'm not sure what I will do this afternoon - hopefully I'll get motivated to do something :)

Have a great day!

The card - this is the card I did for our Shoebox Club last month.  Not much stamping, but it was a fun card.  The background is a Tim Holtz embossing folder - I inked the inside of the folder before embossing it.  The window frame is from SU.  I added some prima flowers and a doilie to the window.

Lots of chores to get done today - only hope I can sustain my momentum and get them all done!

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - a snowman table mat.  This was a freebie pattern that Laura did for our Black Sheep group.

Not sure what's happening today.  Need to do a couple of errands and get the class stuff cut and bagged, but I am actually hoping someone will call and want to do something a bit more fun - we'll see!

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - cool clouds at Coronado Island, San Diego, California

I have a friend coming to scrapbook today and I hope to get lots accomplished.  I am so glad she has decided to get back to scrapbooking - it has certainly motivated me and I've discovered I've missed it!

Have a great day!

The card - flowers are from SU.  I embossed just the bottom edge of the panel to make a border and stamped the flowers just above that.

Need to finish up class projects today and looking forward to our usual Friday night crafting!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - some 'gunge'  and a sentiment - can't get much easier than that.  

Looking forward to an afternoon of stitching at our Wool Gatherer's group this afternoon.

Have a great day!

The card - a few layers of paper :) , a balloon die cut and a sentiment on a banner.  Pretty darn easy!  

Time to get to work on class projects.  The week is going by really fast and I don't seem to be accomplishing much.....that's not good.

Have a terrific day!

The card - had some fun with this one..... the background dots are done by sponging over a stencil with blue and then green ink.  Then I stamped the script in blue over that.  The squares are stamped on a large sheet and then punched out with a square punch.  The square are mounted on black and popped up.

Have a few errands to do today - and I really wish I had made a list last night because I'm having a hard time remembering what all I needed to do - hate when that happens!!

Have a great day!

The card - just some scribble circles from Papertrey Ink , an added sentiment (also from Papertrey) and some bling.  Super easy!

Not sure where to start today.  I have a pretty uncommitted week coming up - I don't always do so well when I don't make plans.  Maybe I should figure out what I want to accomplish this week - yep, that would probably be a good idea :)

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - one last pillow cover to complete the seasons.

Ah, I did actually do some scrapbooking yesterday.  Now I'm rather excited to continue - there's lots I want to do, I just sort of lost my momentum somewhere along the way.

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - San Diego California

Have some friends coming to scrapbook this afternoon - what?  Scrapbook?  Gosh, I haven't done that in so long.  Not sure if I'm going to try and scrapbook something, or find something else to work on.  Hmmmm... we'll see what happens :)

Have a wonderful day

The card - flowers at the bottom of the small panel are from SU.  The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.

It was a beautiful day yesterday and I got totally sidetracked from my original intention of doing some cleaning - just needed to spend some time outside, so I did a bit of yard clean-up stuff.  Maybe I can get back to the cleaning today.......   Looking forward to Friday night crafting tonight!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - a little more 'grunge' in the background with an added butterfly that was stamped, colored, and punched out.  (from SU)  The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.

My goal today is get some cleaning done....hmmm....it sounded like a good idea last night - not too excited about it this morning.  We'll see if I can get myself motivated after a little more caffeine.

Have a great day!

The card - a simple black and white with a touch of color on the flowers.  The flowers are stamped with black and colored with copics.

Looking forward to an afternoon of stitching - a new block-of-the-month work day!  Yay!

Have a great day!

The card - background images are from SU - I love this new 'grunge' set!  Sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.

Lots of cleaning up to do today - not sure how I can make such a big mess when I stamp, but I do.  But I have to say it I've had a couple of productive days so that is a good thing.  But I have to get ready for class tonight so it's time to clean it up!

Have a great day!
