Photo Saturday - Hudson at 8 months - the time is going by so fast!

Craft day today - part of the Good Time Girls are coming - I'm hoping to be productive - AND have a lot of fun!

The card - super easy - a die cut, smushed up leaf, with some grunge in the background.  The top panel and the leaf are popped up.

'Grandma time' today, Friday night crafting tonight.  Sounds good to me!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - flowers are from SU, sentiment is from Papertrey.  The flowers are stamped on the panel of patterned paper and then I added some 'lace' made with a border punch.  

Aww...an extra 'Grandma day' today.  I might be able to finish up the laundry if he takes a nice long nap!

Have a great day!

The card - a simple birthday card.  Although it looks kind of gray in the picture, I sponged some light blue in the center of the background panel.  The lg balloon is popped up.  (and I didn't notice that the sentiment looks really crooked - yikes!)

Lots of chores to get done today.  It looks like it's going to be the last nice weather day for a while so I really want to get my yard cleaned up this afternoon!

Have a terrific day!

The card - leaves are from Hero Arts.  The leaves are stamped with a variety of colors directly on the top panel.  I just added some bling, a sentiment and some twine.  Easy!

Off for some stitching at Hi Fashion today.  Hopefully I'll still have some energy left when I get home and I can get some stamping done!

Have a wonderful day!


(note:  to the person who asked yesterday....GJ is Grand Junction, Colorado.  We're on the far west side of Colorado near the Utah border)

The card - here's another one where I used a piece of printed paper for the background and just added just twine and a sentiment.  

'Grandma time' today.  No other plans for the day.

Enjoy your day!

Project Sunday - a pillow I made for a friend's birthday this week.

Off to breakfast and then an afternoon of stitching - Black Sheep Sunday!

Enjoy your day!

Have a great day!

(the embossing folder I used yesterday is from Hobby Lobby - I have no idea what the name of it is!)

So much to do....and I don't know where to start.  I need to make a plan and get myself organized!  I better work on that today!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - a simple layout....flower is from SU, stamped with black and colored with copics.

'Grandma time' today and Friday night crafting tonight.  The best kind of day!  

Just thought I'd pass on a little info - if you are local there is a new place in town to check out.  It's called The Craft Studio.  They offer a variety of classes in knitting, beading, stitching and stamping and they have work time also.  Check it out - here is a link to their web site.  http://thecraftstudiogj.com/

Have a great day!

The card - a super easy one that I did for our Shoebox Club a while back.  

Focus! Focus! Focus!  I need somebody to tie me to my chair so I can't get up and go anywhere or get sidetracked by the thought of something else!  I do have the class projects figured out, but I must get some regular stamping done today!

Enjoy your day!

The card - leaves are from Hero Arts.  I stamped the leaves on two different colors of blue using navy blue ink.  The leaves are cut out and popped up.  Just a bit of grunge stamped in the background.

More stamping today - I got sidetracked yesterday and didn't get much done.  I need to focus today!

Have a wonderful day.

The card - stamped images are from SU.  I used some patterned paper in the background.  The tag is popped up on top of the background pieces.  The acorn is popped up on the tag.  (I liked this layout, but I think it would have looked better if I had stamped the tag with color instead of such neutral colors)

Time to get to work on class projects.  Stamping is the name of the game this week!

Have a great day!

Just a friendly little

greeting to wish you

Happy Trick or Treating!

Project Sunday - Block of the month

Hmmm....lots of things to do, just don't know where to start.  I still need to do a lot of work on my 'house project' and it's time to get class project s done for next month.  I need to get motivated!

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - on Grand Mesa

Oh my, I have no plan for the day.  Oh my, I don't get much done when I don't have a plan.  Oh my, there's plenty to do, I just need to figure out where to start.  Or take a nap, or read a book.......

Have a great day!

The card - another simple one with  the acorns from SU.  I added a little grunge on the background piece before I embossed it!  The acorns are popped up.

'Grandma time' today, Friday night crafting tonight.  Sounds like a good day to me!

Enjoy your day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Having fun with patterned paper!  

Must get the house cleaned up a bit today - have company coming for dinner!   The football game last night was a close one - our team lost by 4 points in the last few seconds!  Now it's on to the next sport which I think is basketball - oh yeah, a closed in gym and sweaty middle school boys - hmmm!

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  I used some grunge stamps in the bakcground and added a strip of washi tape close to the bottom.  The leaves are stamped, sponged a little on the edges, die cut and popped up on the card.

My 'house project' is still under way.  I am turning the guest room into Hudson's room (got to have a place for all that baby stuff) which means the guest room ended up being where my office/wool room was and now the stamp room/class room is also the wool room.  Yep,  seems like I'm moving half the house around.  I think it's all going to work though - as soon as I get everything organized!  So, that's what I've been working on....and will be working on for the near future.

Tonight it's time for the middle school football Super Bowl - so excited.

Have a great day!

The card - can't get much easier than this - it's a piece of printed paper and I stamped the 'spooky' above the fence!

I have a whole list of errands I had planned on doing today - however, since it's raining I may change my plans and save the errands for another day.  Still working on the 'house project' so it's back to that - and I need to get it cleaned up since I also have class tonight!

Have a terrific day!


Please remember - if you have a question about a card please send an e-mail to scrapandstampgj@aol.com.  (I have no way to respond if you leave the question in a comment) 

The card - one of my favorites - some die cut leaves, a brick embossed background (Tim Holtz), some string and a couple of banners.  Easy, but nice.

"Grandma time' today.  Hoping it's nice so we can take a walk and maybe go to the park.

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - my October Block of the Month.

Back to work on my 'house project'.  I barely got started yesterday, but as usual when I am working on something my entire house is one big mess.  Hopefully I can restore some order today.   Oh, and the boys won their football game yesterday, so it's on to the Super Bowl on Wednesday - yay!

Have a wonderful day.

Photo Saturday - on Grand Mesa

Off to another middle school football game.  This is the playoff and they are undefeated at this point.  If they win today they get to go to the Super Bowl next week.  How exciting is that!  Then it's back home and time to get started on a project in the house....more about that later.

Have a great day!
