More 'Grandma time' today.  In fact there will be lots of Grandma time for the next two weeks - the baby sitter is on vacation.  Today we're meeting a friend for breakfast.  And hopefully, tonight  I will have some energy left to get some stamping done!!!

Have a terrific day!

Monday, October 16, 2017



The card - my favorite background (Tim Holtz brick), some scrunched up punched leaves, a sentiment and a bit of bling.

I actually got some chores done over the weekend and was able to mark a couple of things off my list - not as many as I would've liked, but at this point any is better than none!  Today is 'Grandma time', so no chores today.  Dinner out tonight with a friend.  It's going to be a good day!

Have a great day!

The card - some more of that yummy paper with the gold foil.  It made a nice background for a gold leaf and a matching color of cardstock leaf.

'Grandma time' today.....Friday night crafting tonight.  Another fun day!

Have a great day!

Thursday, October 12, 2017



The card - love this background - I embossed the panel and then took the white ink pad and just lightly wiped it across the panel to add some white to the raised image.  Added a scrunched up, sponged leaf and a bit of twine.

Meeting a new friend for coffee (well, iced tea for me) this morning and then I need to figure out a calendar topper before tonight's Shoebox Club. 

Have a great day!

Wednesday, October 11, 2017



The card - and more leaves!  (scrunched up and sponged)  I embossed the background in one big piece and then cut it into the strips.  I kind of wish I had popped them up on the front - it would have given them a bit more dimension.

I had an extra day of 'Grandma time' yesterday - the babysitter was sick.  Now I'm a little behind in my plan for the week - but oh, who cares.  Now today I'm off to Montrose to get started in a knitting class.  Another last minute thing, but I'm looking forward to it! 

Have a terrific day!

Monday, October 9, 2017




The card - I love this paper with the gold foil dots...yummy!  A simple card just using another scrunched up, sponged leaf.  

'Grandma time' today.  Going to the Craft Studio this evening to spend a couple hours knitting.  Haven't been in quite a while, so it will be nice to see everyone.

Have a great day!

Have a great day!

The card - sorry, it looks a bit dark in the scan.  But I started with a base of basic grey, added some grunge and a piece stamped with a script stamp, then added a sentiment and a scrunched up leaf.  It would make a nice 'guy' card!

Chores to get done this morning and then an afternoon of stitching at our Wool Gatherer's Group at Hi Fashion.  Then I will pick up Hudson for an overnight stay.  Busy day!

Have a terrific day!

Wednesday, October 4, 2017

I'm hoping we're going to see some sunshine today!  A little tired of the rain and the gloomy days.  But, never the less, I have stuff to do and getting some class stuff done is at the top of the list.  I just need to focus today!

Have a great day!

The card - flower is from Darkroom Door.  Added some grunge, a little bling and some twine.

Evidently Hudson has passed on the germs from his runny nose which in my case has turned into a full fledged cold.  Yuk!  I'm glad I don't have any important stuff to do today - just some chores around the house which I can put off until tomorrow.  Back to bed for a while for me!

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  (sorry about the shadow - the scanner picks up a shadow when I have bling on the card!)  I really like this layout and think it could be uused with lots of different stamps!

Ah, sorry about missing the last couple of days.  I ended up with Hudson for almost the entire weekend - yay!  Fun, but I didn't even turn the computer on.    Today, I'm off for a few hours of stitching at Hi Fashion.  Looking forward to that, but I must get something together to work on in the next hour.  Oh my, I better get busy!

Have a terrific day!
