The card - die cut leaves....the piece in the background is the piece that the black leaves were cut out of.  The leaves in front are popped up.

Nothing like getting woke up at 3:30 am from a break in the sprinkler system....gallons of water gushing all over and I didn't have a clue what to do.  All I could manage was to shut off the sprinklers which didn't help!  Yikes!  Had to wake Jeff up and he had to come and shut the darn thing off.  Hmmm.... I guess I should have known how to do that but nobody showed me!  Just a little excitement during the night - glad it's a quiet day and I should be able to work in a nap at some point :)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - flower is from SU.  The strip across the bottom of the tag is washi tape.  The tag is popped up on the embossed panel.

A busy, busy day.  Class this morning and then on to a full stitching day at Hi Fashion.  Then we get to go to the GJ Rockies baseball game tonight.  Whew!  It's going to be fun!

Have a great day!

The card - some grunge (from SU), a sentiment, a button and some twine.  Fun and funky!

Lightening, thunder and pouring down rain....good day to stay in and enjoy the time with Hudson.   (I did get the class projects all done, cut & bagged and ready for class tomorrow - yay!)

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - got a little behind in this Block of the Month, but finally finished the July one!

Need to finish the class projects and then hopefully I can get some more stamping done - that's the plan for today.

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - wildflowers on Grand Mesa

Time to get serious about the class projects.  I am not leaving the house today and plan on stamping the entire day.  Well, til later this afternoon, because I get a little extra 'Grandma time' today while the kids go to dinner - yay!

Have a great day!

The card - flowers are from SU.  Added a doily, some string and a sentiment.  The flowers were colored by using one of the smaller stamps in the set. 

Well......I had about the worst 'blonde senior moment' yesterday.  We changed the date of our Shoebox Club and I forgot to write it on my calendar - oops!  The worst part was, we were celebrating birthdays and I was cooking dinner - oops!  I was oblivious until one of the ladies called mid-afternoon to ask if I needed anything - oh my!  I actually managed to go to the grocery store, pick up the house, cook dinner, get gifts together and have dinner on the table on time - wow!  It was just pure luck that Celisa called because they would have all shown up to no dinner and I very well could have been lounging around in my pj's!  Good grief!

Today is 'Grandma time' so I am going to just enjoy my day and look forward to Friday night crafting!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - flower is from SU.  Added a bit of patterned paper, some twine, a piece of washi tape (black & white piece) and a sentiment.  

I ended up with an unexpected free day today.  I really need to make the most of it since I didn't get anything done yesterday - well, I did get some errands done, but no stamping.  So, today's goal is to stay home and get the class projects done!

Have a great day!

The card - flowers and leaves are from SU.  The strips of silver at the bottom are washi tape.  Shifting the panels off kilter is hard for me, but I tried!  Still looks out of whack to me!

Off to an appointment this morning and then I hope to get motivated to get some stamping done.  It's time to get this month's class projects done.

Have a great day!

The card - flower and grunge stamps are from SU.  This is a fun new set from SU!

The regular babysitter has a sick baby, so.......I'm getting some extra Grandma time this week.  Yay!

Have a terrific day!

The card - a simple black and white.  Flower stamp is from SU.

'Grandma time' today.  A good way to start a new week and a new month!  Having a hard time believing that it's already August though!

Have a wonderful day!

Project Sunday - another free pattern from our Black Sheep group.  Love the flip flops!

I'm going to try and get a little yard work done this morning before it gets hot!  The flowers are looking a little neglected.

Have a wonderful day!

Photo Saturday - wild flowers on Grand Mesa

Not sure what the heck I'm doing today - I seem to have the entire weekend free.  Hmmm....I guess I need to find something to do!

Have a great day!

The card - flowers are from SU.  The flowers are actually 'colored' by using a small stamp in the set and stamping over the outline!  A bit of a different look.

Have a lot of errands I need to get done today.  Hopefully I can get myself in gear and get them all done this morning before it gets so hot!  Looking forward to Friday night crafting!

Have a terrific day!

The card - flower, background grunge and bee are from SU.  I just got this stamp set and it's been fun to play with!  

Hmmm....I was supposed to have Hudson today, but it looks like the plans may have changed.  I'm not sure at this point, so I can't really make any other plans just yet.  Guess I'll just go with the flow!

Have a great day!

The card - stamped image is from SU.  Some added ribbon and printed paper, plus a dragonfly brad I found in my stash.

U.   Although it looks darker in the photo, this is the new green in-color from SU.

Have a wonderful day!

Have a terrific day!

The card - background stamps are from SU.  Added a punched heart (popped up) a sentiment and some ribbon - easy!

'Grandma time' today.  Looking forward to Friday night crafting tonight!

Have a terrific day!

The card - background stamps are from SU.  The background and sentiment are stamped before the panel is embossed.  The butterflies are stamped, punched out and popped up.  Somehow the picture made this card look kind of weird - it actually looks much better in real life :)

Have a wonderful day!

Time to get some car maintenance done (it's over due for service) so that's where I'll be this morning.  Then I'm thinking of checking out a new (to me) stitching group that's meeting today - have to see if I can get something organized!

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  I inked the stamps with markers and then stamped on the white panel before embossing the brick pattern.

'Grandma time' today - hopefully I can get a little laundry done too!

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - a free pattern we get each month at Black Sheep.  I finished this one last night.

Have a wonderful day.

Photo Saturday - Hudson has discovered his toes!

Tonight we're celebrating birthdays!  I did a pretty good job of stretching my birthday celebrations thru the entire month of June (hence, that's why June is my birthday MONTH), but this year I get to stretch it out even a little further and do some celebrating in July.  Since Sherry is here we're celebrating both our birthdays tonight!  Yay!

Have a terrific day!

Today, I must get started on a whole list of stuff that needs to be done before next week.  Hopefully I can get myself motivated and get lots done!

Went to a new pottery shop in Town yesterday.  If you are local and you like painting pottery you need to check out Fat Cat Pottery down on Main Street.  Great place, really nice owners and lots of fun things to work on.  We learned some new techniques (well, new to us anyway) and did some fun projects.  I want to go back soon!

My birthday dinner got postponed the other night, so tonight Jeff & Sara & Hudson are taking me out for a delayed birthday dinner.  Looking forward to it!

Have a wonderful day!
