Still haven't finished dealing with the stamps....something has to get done today because they are all over the classroom and I have a class tonight.  Hmmm.....that should motivate me I guess!

Have a great day!

The card - a good way to use up some scraps of paper - center panel is just strips of different widths glued to a white panel and matted with black.  The panel is popped up on the card.  Add a sentiment and you're done!

The plans I had for today got changed and now I have no idea what I'm going to do.   I better come up with something, otherwise I will end up wasting the entire day! That wouldn't be good!

Have a great day!

Gosh, I will be glad when it stops raining - it is getting so wet and I still have quite a few flowers that need to be planted plus other yard clean-up that needs to be done!  Have a class this morning and then I need to do a few errands.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  A really simple one .......

Grandma time today - I probably won't get much else done.  Although I am going to try and talk myself into doing a little something while he's sleeping - but I don't know - it's really hard - I just want to sit and hold him!

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - took a knitting class a while back to learn how to knit a hat - this is what I made!  It's been fun to work on something other than dishcloths!  

Hoping to get at least a few of the flowers planted this morning if it warms up enough!  Then I'm off to a bbq at Jeff & Sara's.  Looking forward to that!

Happy Mother's Day!

Photo Saturday -  oh the smell of lilacs in the spring!  

My plan was to spend the day in the yard today - hmmm - it's raining!  Darn! I really wanted to get the flowers planted.  Oh well, guess it will have to wait.  Or maybe it will clear up by this afternoon - one can only hope!

Project Sunday - an Easter mat that is part of a free monthly pattern that we get at Black Sheep Sunday each month.

I ended up helping my neighbor with some yard work yesterday and today I am stiff and sore - used some muscles I haven't used in a while.  It's still rather cold and dreary outside so I'm going to stay in and work on putting some stitching projects together so they are ready to stitch!

Have a wonderful day!

Photo Saturday - Grandson Hudson at 1 month  (the Bronco bear is special because it came from Aunt Tracy)

Have a wonderful day!

The card -  nice and easy.  The butterflies are from Hero Arts, stamped on a square and popped up on top of the embossed panel.  Added a sentiment and some dots.

Not sure what my plan is for today - I've ended up with a free day, Hmmmm.  I started cleaning out the clothes closet yesterday, trying to get the summer stuff out and the winter stuff put away - I probably should think about finishing that, but I sort of lost my momentum.  We'll see.  No matter what,  I have Friday night crafting to look forward to though!

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.
