The card - love this line of printed paper that I got at a local store (Seasons to Follow). The panel with the tree is popped up. A super easy card!
Off to Montrose for my knitting class this morning. I'm hoping I'll have enough ambition to get the garage straighened up this afternoon when I get home!
Have a wonderful day!

The card - sorry about the bad shadows - scanner didn't like the embossed background I guess! Anyway, time to start a bit of Christmas - the snowflake is embossed on the background panel and the small snowflake is stamped and then punched out and added to the top of the embossed snowflake. Pretty darn easy!
Starting off the season of Christmas parties tonight. So, I'm off to a day of cleaning and cooking.
Have a great day!

The card - another 'sprinkles' card. I used some printed paper for the background on this one. The ice cream cone is stamped, cut out and popped up, the sentiment is stamped directly on the printed paper.
'Grandma time' today, Friday night crafting tonight. Hmmm....a regular sort of day :)
Have a terrific day!

The card - I love the sayings in this 'sprinkles of life' set from SU. Had fun playing with it so you will be seeing a few more with this same set!
Unless I've forgotten something important I have a free day today! Woo hoo! I think I better try and get the Christmas decorations up. That's my goal for the day.
Have a great day!

The card - one last 'leaf card'! I made the frames by punching the smaller square first, then using a larger punch to make a frame. The gold paper actually looks much better in real life!
Have to get ready for a Thiry-One party this afternoon and then back home for a class tonight. Busy busy!
Have a great day!

The card - some punched out and die cut leaves, a sentiment and some twine - simple and quick.
Off to Hi Fashion this morning for some stitching time. Then I think I will try to work up the energy to go to the grocery store to get stuff for Thursday. We'll see. (there's always tomorrow!)
Have a terrific day!

The card - just another easy 'fall' card.
Sorry I was MIA the last couple of days. Didn't have any cards to post - life seems to get in my way a lot these days! Found the time to get a few done yesterday, so I will be good for a few more days!
A little extra 'Grandma time' today - the babysitter has jury duty.
Have a terrific day!

Time to get my act together and work on class projects today. The projects are done, but I need to get them cut and bagged. And I need to figure out what the heck I'm going to work on at our Black Sheep group tomorrow. Lots to do today :)
Have a wonderful day!

The card - found the energy to get a couple of cards stamped yesterday. Pretty simple ones....this is a floral stamp from Unity stamped in black over a script background.
Still feeling a little blah, but really need to get some chores done today and get ready for our Shoebox Club tonight.
Have a great day!

Chores to get done this morning and then Hudson will be here to spend the night. So, I need to get busy - so far this morning I've been just kind of totally lazy!)
Have a terrific day!

The card - stamped images are from SU. The strips at the top and bottom of the panel are patterned paper.
Another day of 'Grandma time'. Yesterday at the Pumpkin Patch was great fun!!! Today we're going to breakfast (or lunch) and out to Canyon View Park. Can't waste all this beautiful weather!
Have a terrific day!

The card - flowers are from SU. I used a piece of wood-grain patterned paper for the background and stamped directly on that.
More'Grandma time' this week. I do have to say I worked really hard all weekend and got a lot of things on my 'to do list' done! - Yay! There's still some stuff left to do, but there's always next week!
Have a wonderful day!

Whew....having Hudson for an entire week has been awesome, but I haven't gotten much done. But, that's ok. I have a whole list and today and tomorrow to get everything done. I guess I better get busy!
Have a terrific day!

The card - one more Christmas card. This is done with a set from Hero Arts. This set is going to be fun to play with.
'Grandma time' today. We're meeting a friend for lunch so that will take up part of our day. I didn't get any stamping done last night, so hoping I can do that tonight!
Have a great day!
Tuesday, October 17, 2017
The card - stamped images are from W Plus 9. It's a bit early for me to do Christmas, but I this is all I have done! It's time to get some stamping done! I do love this wreath set and you will be seeing lots more of it!
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!

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 - 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!

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!

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!

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!

The card - stamped images are from SU. The leaves are punched out of patterned paper and srunched up. The background flowers are stamped in black and the part on the yellow strip is stamped before embossing!
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!
