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!

Haircut, errands and then I need to finish up the Christmas decorations and get the mess cleaned up :)

Have a great 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!

'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.

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!
