The card - stamped images are from SU.  I sponged the edge of the top panel with  kraft just to make it stand out a bit more.  The panel is also popped up.

'Grandma time' today.  Friday night crafting tonight.  All is good!

Have a terrific day!

The card - I love this new Color Theory paper from SU.  Fun stuff!  I stamped the flower (from Darkroom Door) in black and added the sentiment, also stamped in black.   Easy!

I need to get some chores done today - have a 31 Party tonight so need to get myself (and all the bags) organized for that.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - flowers are from Darkroom Door and sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.  I inked the flowers with markers and a couple of them are stamped off.

Lunch with friends today....that's about the extent of my plans for the day.

Have a great day!

The card - a super simple one.  The sentiment is from SU and is stamped in black on the top panel.  The leaves are stamped at the bottom and then I just added a couple of Prima flowers and a little bling!

I really need to get some stamping done so I'm hoping to get some done today.  Then it will be time to get ready for class tonight.  So, here's hoping for a productive day!

Have a great day!

A totally free day with no plans....how did that happen?  Hmmm...... who knows what the day will bring.  

Have a terrific day!

The card - stamped images are from SU, chair die cut is also from SU.  The sea shell is stamped and then cut out.  I used a background stamp for the background, inked it with markers then sprayed it with a little water before stamping.

A haircut this morning and then an afternoon of stitching at Hi Fashion.  All is good!

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  I stamped the leaves first, then added the flowers.  I added some bling for the flower centers and some twine.

Have a terrific day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  This Daisy is one of my new favorites!  I stamped it twice, punched them out and then layered them one of top of the other.  

"Grandma time' today PLUS I have company coming.  A cousin I haven't seen in close to 40 years is coming for a visit.  It will be good to catch up!  Looking forward to her visit.  My weekend is up in the air, not sure how long my cousin will be here so I may not have a chance to post.  If not, I'll be back on Monday!

Have a terrific day!

The card - stamped sentiment and chair die cut are from SU.  I tore some kraft cardstock for 'the sand' and layered the chair with 2 different colors of die cuts to give it a bit more dimension.  Some grunge spots on the kraft added to the 'sand' effect.

Found out I was having some unexpected company tomorrow, so I have chores I need to get done today!  And we're celebrating a birthday at our Shoebox club tonight - that is always fun!  Better get to work :)

Have a great day!

'Grandma time' today, Friday night crafting tonight - my favorite kind of day!!

Looking forward to some stitching time at our Wool Gatherer's group this afternoon.

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  A fun set to play with.....used some muted colors on this one, but some bright colors would be fun also!

Need to get to work on class projects...again, I need to focus, focus, focus!  (Have to say I did pretty well yesterday!  I didn't get everything done I wanted to, but I felt good about the stuff I did get done - yay!)

Have a terrific day!

I'm off to help a friend at Farmer's Market today.  Then, our friend Sherry is in town and we are going to celebrate her birthday this afternoon and evening!  It's a busy weekend!

Have a great day!

Off to a Thirty-One Brunch this morning.  Hopefully time for a nap this afternoon and then Hudson is coming for a sleepover tonight!  Woo hoo!

Have a terrific day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  I'm a big fan of flower stamps and this new one from SU is a lot of fun.  Multiple stamps to make your own flower arrangements in different colors!

"Grandma time' today, Friday night crafting tonight.  Ah yes....it's going to be a good day!

Enjoy your day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  I stamped the right side of the card stock with matching ink - the left side is printed paper.  

Off to help my friend Deb today.  They just bought a house and there's painting to be done!

Have a terrific day!

The card - Love this new set from SU.  The chair is a die cut.  The background is an old brick background stamp that I found hiding in my stash!  I inked up just part of it instead of making it a solid piece.  (I think I'll be using this stamp a lot more - it's pretty cool!)  

Oh my - a day with no plan.  Oh oh, that's not always a good thing.  We'll see what I can come up with - there's plenty to do, I just need to pick something!

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  The square with the chair was stamped using a clear block, coloring it with markers, spritzing with water and then stamping.  I really like layout of this card, but it didn't stamp as nicely as I would have liked (the sentiment is crooked too) - I decided to post it anyway hoping you could use the idea :)

My original plan today was to do a bit of clean-up in the yard - however, it's raining so I guess I need to revise my plan.  I know there's plenty to do inside, just need to figure out where to start!

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  The back panel is embossed and the small, front panel is popped up.  

"Grandma time' today.  Looking forward to a fun day!

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - my July 'Block of the Month' truck.

Well, yesterday just didn't work out like I planned.  For some reason I just could not get motivated and I ended up sleeping a lot....didn't feel sick, but just couldn't get going.  So, here's hoping I can get in the groove today!!!!

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - on Grand Mesa

Sorry for the lack of posts this past week.  I ran out of stamped cards so had nothing to post!  That is my goal this weekend - I have a couple of days with no commitments so my plan is stay home and get some stamping done!  Here's hoping for a productive couple of days!!!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - a simple one with SU's new Daisy.  The daisy is stamped twice, layered together and then popped up.

"Grandma time' today.  That's my only plan for the day!

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - I finally did this project that I've had for several years.  Have the perfect place to hang it for August.

Didn't get quite as much done yesterday as I had planned - for some reason it is hard for me to focus these days.  Hmmm....not sure what that is all about.  But, what the heck.  Today a friend and I are going to check out the Farmer's Market in Palisade.  I've heard it's a good one and it will be a fun Sunday thing to do!

Have a great day!


(Vicki, the Colorado National Monument is just outside Grand Junction / Fruita, Colorado.  It's one of my favorite places to go!  Please check it out if you're in the area!)

Photo Saturday - one of Jeff's recent photos - on the Colorado National Monument

After a week of having Hudson every day I think I'm going to miss the little guy today :)  But, I do have a ton of stuff I need to get done so I need to take advantage of a day without a little one.

Have a great day!

The card - I stamped the Happy outline, then embossed, then stamped the circles over the top.  The embossing (or debossing) allows the Happy to stay white under the stamping. 

One more day of 'Grandma time' for this week.  Friday night crafting tonight!

Have a terrific day!

The card - more daisies.  I stamped one set full strength and the other one I stamped off to make it a bit lighter.  The strip on the side is patterned paper.  (sorry about the yellow shadow - it's from the scanner).  The flowers are popped up.

More 'Grandma time' today.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - more daisies.  I stamped 6 flowers on matching cardstock, punched them out, doubled them up and popped them up.  The jar is a die cut and I added some lines around the edge and stampede some grunge across the bottom to make it look like water.  I stamped the stems on the jar and added some leaves and twine.

More 'Grandma time' today, class tonight.

Have a great day!

The card - just a lot of fun stuff going on in this one.  The black & white polka dot piece is washi tape.  The sentiment piece is popped up.

More 'Grandma time' today.  Plus, I have a class this morning.  Hopefully Hudson will play quietly while I'm doing class :)  But I have a few things I need to get done before he gets here so I better get to it!

Have a terrific day!

The card - I got the embossing folder that goes with this SU set...fun!  You emboss the word, then stamp over it and it leaves the word the color of the background paper (in this case white)  Fun stuff!

Lots of 'Grandma time' this week.  The babysitter is on vacation, so I will have Hudson all week.  Glad I got most of my work done over the weekend :)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - another Daisy from SU.  Again, I stamped the flower twice, punched each one out and then layered them together and popped it up on the card.  

"Grandma time' today.  Looking forward to a nice relaxing play day and then Friday night crafting tonight.

Have a wonderful day.

The card - love this new Daisy Delight set from SU.  And there's a punch (I love punches)  The daisy is stamped twice, punched out and layered.  It's popped up on the card.  

A busy day today.  I need to get myself organized this morning.... looking forward to Wool Gatherer's at Hi Fashion this afternoon.....and then I'm doing a vendor display at The Craft Studio tonight.  So, if you're local, come down to Farmer's Market tonight and check out my display of Thirty-One bags - I have some new stuff for you to feast your eyes on :)  (I will be downstairs at The Craft Studio, on the patio)

Have a great day!

The card - the black & white stripe is printed paper, the stamped panel is added on the top.  I stamped the background grunge them added the sentiment on top with black and then just a bit of bling.

A free day today - I MUST focus and get some stamping done.  At least that's my goal :)

Have a terrific day!

The card - pretty darn easy....a little patterned paper, a flower from Prima, a little bit of grunge and a sentiment punched out with an oval.  

"Grandma time' today, plus I get an overnight and all day tomorrow.  Woo hoo!  Now, I just need to figure out how to get the grocery shopping done for a bbq tomorrow night.  Actually, that should be easy, Hudson loves to go places where there is a cart to ride in!  It's all good!

Have a terrific day!

The card - used a variety of colors for the background and then stamped the sentiment on the top in black.  Added just of bit of grunge on one side.and some bling.

Well, I have to say it has been quite the birthday month!  I do love June!  I started celebrating on the first and most appropriately will be ending the month today with just one last celebration!  Judy and I are going to lunch and then who knows what adventures we will have!  But, seriously, I do have the best friends and family ever and I thank you all for a terrific birthday month!  It has been awesome!

Have a great day!

The card - more from this fun SU set.  I still have a hard time with the whole 'offset' thing sometimes - it makes everything look crooked to me :)

I'm catching up.....the house is clean and the laundry is done - woo hoo!  Now, today I think I better get some work done for my Thirty-One business.

Have a terrific day!

The card - I used a square clear block to stamp the background squares and then just stamped the image (flowers from Penny Black) and the sentiment over the top.  

Oh my....a totally free day.  What am I going to do with myself?   I do need to get a few chores done around the house and then I really need to sit down and regroup.  I've been having so much fun the last few weeks, but I guess It's time to do real life for a while now :)

Have a great day!

The card- circles are stamps from SU.  I stamped them randomly with blue and green and then added a background of printed paper, a flower from Prima and a flagged sentiment.

Too quiet today since the company left this morning - although I'm having an extra 'Grandma day' since the babysitter is sick.  So the quiet is not as bad as it could be :)  We had such a good time and coming right after vacation I haven't had much reality happening for several weeks.  I think the rest of this week is going to be rather boring!!!
Have a great day!!

Missed this guy while I was gone!

A little extra 'Grandma time' today while the kids go play golf and then my company from California will be arriving this afternoon.  Having a BBQ at Jeff & Sara's this evening.  It's going to be a good day!

Have a wonderful day!

Photo Saturday - sunset on Huntington Beach in California

Lots to get done today since I have company arriving tomorrow.  So, no time to waste!

Have a great day!
