The card - one of those new embossing folders....I embossed it on a smaller piece of  matching cardstock and popped it up.  The sentiment is stamped to the side directly on the card.

Just delivered Hudson to the babysitters....now it's time to get some work done - if I can get myself motivated!  Not really feeling it this morning.......

Have a terrific day!

Have a terrific day!

Project Sunday - my 'April' truck.  

Whew - a free day!  Gosh, it seems like it's been pretty chaotic around here lately.  Feels good to have a 'free' day, but I do need to get some stamping done.  Maybe some laundry too!

Have a great day!

Friday, April 21, 2017




The card - another new embossing folder.  I colored the center of the flowers with a marker and added a sentiment - pretty darn easy!

Off to DeBeque for a day of stitching.  Woo hoo!  Then it's Friday night crafting tonight.  Sounds like a terrific kind of day to me!

Have a wonderful day!

Enjoy your day!

The card - a script background stamp across the bottom and some layered butterflies.  The lg butterfly is a die cut, the middle one is stamped (SU), then cut out and the small one on top is a punch.  The sentiment is stamped, then punched out and slipped under the top butterfly.

Company for dinner tonight, so I have noodles to make, chicken to cook and the toys from yesterday to pick up.  Glad I don't have any other commitments today!

Have a terrific day!

The card - a super simple one.  I masked off the line where I wanted to put the twine so the stamped butterflies wouldn't go below that line.  Butterflies are from SU..

"Grandma time' today and some knitting time tonight at The Craft Studio.

Have a terrific day!

Project Sunday - hmmm...no finished projects to show this week.  But these pictures are from The Craft Studio in downtown Grand Junction.  

This is where Deb and I go on Monday evenings to knit and enjoy some great company.  I just have to give a shout out to the owner Leslie.  She is the best!  She is so helpful, friendly and welcoming!  If you knit or would like to learn to knit go see Leslie at The Craft Studio. 



                       We spent a fun evening there on Friday for Movie Night.  You can knit, stitch, or do any kind of handwork, watch a great movie and enjoy some awesome snacks.

Go check it out!

The card - a pretty easy and simple one.  The sentiment is stamped before the background panel is embossed.  The small square panel has the corners rounded and is popped up.

No idea what the heck I'm doing today.  I'm sure I can figure out something, but it's not always a good thing when I don't have a plan.  Hopefully I will be productive :)

Photo Saturday - Hudson loves the outdoors.

Oops - I just noticed I didn't post yesterday.  Good grief.  Sara brought Hudson a little early and I guess I just totally spaced it out!  Sorry 'bout that.  We went and tried out our new hamburger joint last night - Freddies - oh yum!  Love that place.  It's exciting that we not only have one, but the second one will be opening soon also!  Yay!   Looking forward to a few hours of stitching at Hi Fashion today!

Have a terrific day!

The card - a fun background technique.  I used a clear stamping block and scribbled on the top of it with different colors of markers.  Then I sprayed a bit of water on it and then stamped.  Kind of a cool effect!  I stamped the sentiment on the top in black.

Off to Hi Fashion this morning for some stitching time.  A trip to the grocery store on the way home and then dinner out with a friend.  Sounds like a good day to me!

Have a wonderful day!

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - the birthday boy!  Can hardly believe he turned 1 last Sunday.  But what an awesome weekend we had!  It was so nice to have my cousins here from California to celebrate with us.  

A free day today!  Don't have a clue what I'm going to do.  I probably should do a few errands and I really need to regroup and get ready for next week.  Or I could take a nap!  We'll see.
