The card - triangles are stamped (SU), cut out and popped up.    A sentiment plus a little bling - easy!

'Grandma time' today - Hudson turns 2 today.  I cannot believe it has been 2 years - have loved every minute!  Not sure what the plan is for the day, but family dinner tonight and I still have to make the cake & icecream - I better get to it!

Have a wonderful day!

Project Sunday - finished this piece a couple weeks ago.  I think I want to put it in a frame so I have to look for one the right size.  (my rule is to buy the frame first - duh....forgot!)

Off for an afternoon of stitching at our Black Sheep group today.  Haven't done much stitching this week so it will be good!

Have a wonderful day!

Chores this morning and then off to Hudson's Birthday party - can not believe how fast 2 years have gone by!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - kind of an old layout, but it just appealed to me!  Nothing special - the flowers are punched out of patterned paper and adheared to the squares.  The squares are popped up.  

'Grandma time' today.  Friday night crafting tonight.  All is good!  (it would be a tad bit better if I didn't have this cold, but it's not as bad today, so I'm sure I will survive :)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - lots of grunge going on here!  Have to say, this one is not my favorite, but it's ok.  That diamond shape is a new SU punch though and I really like it!

I ended up with some extra 'Grandma time' yesterday - the babysitter was sick.  It was a bit of an adventure having him when we were trying to do a knitting class, but it was ok.  Now, today I need to get caught up on stuff I was going to do yesterday, plus today's chores.  Hmm....not sure how that will turn out.  I seem to have caught a bit of a head cold too, so not really feeling too energetic this morning.  Nothing happening today that can't wait though, so here's just hoping for the best!

Have a great day!

The card - flowers are from Altenew.  I used some grunge stamps for the background, but I spritzed them with water before stamping for more of a watercolor look.

Knitting class this morning and then maybe I can get some more stamping done this afternoon.  I managed to at least get cards done for card class next week - yay!

Have a terrific day!

The card - grunge, some Prima flowers, washi tape, bling and a sentiment.  That's it!  Pretty darn easy.

A free day!  Oh my - whatever will I do?   I'm thinking I will spend the day stamping - now we will just hope I don't get sidetracked from that goal :)

Have a great day!

The card - just some fun with balloons - I used SU's balloon punch and popped them up on an embossed background.  (I stamped the sentiment before embossing)

'Grandma time' today.  That's it!

Have a great day!

The card - flower is a SU stamp and punch, leaves are a die cut.  I embossed some lines at the bottom and the left side for a bit of a border.

'Grandma time' today, Friday night crafting tonight.  I love Fridays!

Have a great day!

The card - just a little background grunge with some Prima flowers.  (I have a ton of these flowers....I need to use them up!)  Add a sentiment and some bling....quick and easy!

Need to finish up a few chores this morning and then I'm off to Hi Fashion this afternoon for our Wool Gatherer's Club to do some stitching.  Then I have friends coming over for dinner and stitching - a full day, but mostly fun stuff!

Have a great day!

The card - super simple - just some printed paper a sentiment and some ribbon.  I did mean to sponge the sentiment piece to make it look a little distressed to match the paper....forgot til it was all put together - oops!

A day totally free of commitments - oh my!  So many things I want to get done, but not feeling very motivated.  Hopefully that will change after some more caffeine.

Have a great day!

The card - a butterfly die cut from SU and a simple sentiment.  How easy is that.  I love butterflies and I'm ready for some 'spring stuff'!  How about you?

A fiarly free day - have so many chores I need to get done, but not sure where to start.  Haircut this afternoon and class tonight, so I can't totally ignore the whole day!

Enjoy your day!

The card - more grunge!  Friday's card and this one were done with grunge stamps from SU.  Love the look!

'Grandma time' today.  A little stitching with friends tonight.  Sounds like a perfect kind of day!

Have a terrific day!

The card - some background grunge, washi tape, bling, string and a sentiment.  I really liked this one!

'Grandma time' today, lunch with a friend and then Friday night crafting - yep, sounds like a good day to me!

Enjoy your day!

The card - some printed paper, a sentiment and some bling.  Easy peasy!  I lined the stamp up with the top edge of the printed paper - kind of a cool look!

Chores this morning, stitching at Inspirations this afternoon and then some friends are coming over to stitch tonight.  A fun day!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - a really easy one - some background dots with a birthday sentiment, an embossed strip down the side and a little bling.

Trying to get back on track this week.  Had a funeral to attend yesterday, but then managed to get just a little stamping done last night.  Going to try to get a bit more done this morning before I have to clean things up for class tonight. 

Have a great day!

The card - the background is sponged using a Tim Holtz stencil.  The flowers are from SU.

Sorry I haven't posted for the last week.  Somehow life just got away from me last week.  Some unexpected 'Grandma time' - babysitter's kid was sick, then Jeff was sick over the weekend.  And, of course I haven't had the time (or mostly the energy) to get any stamping done.  I'm hoping to do better this week, but no promises. 

Have a great day!

The card - just a little grunge from Altenew.  An easy one, but fun.  The sentiment pieces are popped up and I added just a little bling.

'Grandma time' today.  That's all.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - punched hearts, and some washi tape.  The circle in the background is from Papertrey Ink, the love is from Hero Arts.  And then a little added bling. 

Knitting class this morning and then I have friends coming over for dinner and some stitching tonight.   Old friends, new at stitching - it will be fun!

Forewarning....I'm out of cards so you may not hear from me for a few days.  I'm hoping to get a couple of cards done this afternoon, but it may not happen.  In that case I should be back on Monday!

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  A good 'guy card'.

Off for a morning of stitching at Hi Fashion.  That's my only plan for the day!

Have a great day!

The card - sorry, this one didn't scan very well - shadows and a smahsed string.  Hope you get the idea anyway.  The small heart is popped up on the small square for dimension.

'Grandma time' today.  Looking forward to our second 'Kindermusik' class today!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - I used a border punch to punch the hearts and then matted that pice on top of a red mat.  It's popped up on top of the embossed piece.  

'Grandma time' today, (and overnight too!),  Friday night crafting tonight.  Sounds like a perfect kind of day to me!

Have a great day!

The card - just another simple one - flowers are from SU.  Used a bit of grunge in the background.

Off for an afternoon of stitching at our Wool Gatherer's Club this afternoon.  Then tonight friends are coming over to finish up (hopefully) the stitching  project that they started last week! Lots of stitching going on today :)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped images and background embossing folder are from SU.  A simple layout, but kind of fun.

Ah....a free day.  Oh my, what will I do with myself?  I do need to finish up some paper work from yesterday's party (it was a great party and it was fun meeting some new people!) but the rest of my day is free for.......maybe some stitching, or knitting, or stamping ?????  We'll see.

Have a great day!

The card - one last 'winter card'.  Embossed snowflake and mittens are from SU.  The mittens are popped up.

I have a 31 Party in Hotchkiss today, which is an hour away.  So, that will take up most of my day.  Looking forward to meeting some new people and getting them excited about 31 bags!

Have a terrific day!

The card - just a simple one using this new flower set from SU.  It's a fun one!

'Grandma time' today.  (and yes, I did have him for several hours yesterday )  We're on our way this morning to our first 'Kindermusic' class.  We'll see if this old Grandma can keep up :)

Have a wonderful day!

Project Sunday - a wall hanging I made for a birthday gift.

I ended up with an unexpected afternoon with Hudson yesterday so didn't get any of the things done that I had planned on - and that is entirely ok.  I did finish a wool project last night and started binge watching a new series that a friend loaned me, so all is good!   Today I may have Hudson again for the afternoon, so haven't really made any other plans....I'm good with that :)

Enjoy your day!

The card - a simple birthday card - small flower is from, sentiment is from Paper Trey.

'Grandma time' today.  Friday night crafting tonight - celebrating Emily's birthday - woo hoo - fun times!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped images and the background embossing folder are from SU.  ( I just realized I should have masked the sun before stamping the mountains...just a note if you do this one!)  This would make a good 'guy card'.

Looking forward to an afternoon of stitching at Inspirations and then I have friends coming tonight so I can get them started on stitching (sharing the love.....)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - flower is from SU.  A simple card - embossed background and a matted smaller panel.  The sentiment is popped up.

Time for a little house cleaning today - can't remember last time the house was cleaned, so it must be time!  That's my goal for the day!

Have a great day!

The card - love this new set from SU.  A fun, watercolor look.  

Ended up with Hudson yesterday and then had him overnight - yay!  Fun, as always.  I just dropped him at the babysitters, so now I need to try and get something accomplished I guess.  Too many things to do, don't know where to start :)

Have a great day!

The card - flower stamp and embossing folder are from SU.  Had fun playing with this flower set!

Not sure what the plans are for the day....haven't heard from Sara yet this morning.   Think I'll work on some stitching stuff if I don't have Hudson today!

Have a terrific day!

The card - flowers from Altenew, colored with Copics.  The black dotted strip at the bottom is washi tape.

Not sure what the plan is for today.  Haven't heard from Sara so I'm not sure if she is working today, so don't know if I will have Hudson or not!    I think I will plan on getting some things ready to stitch while I am 'on call'.

Have a terrific day!

The card - sorry about the shadow...the scanner doesn't like bling :(   Just another simple winter snowflake.  The background is a corner embossing folder and I just added a die cut snowflake and then a punched smaller snowflake on top.  

Looking forward to an afternoon of stitching at the new quilt store Inspirations.  It was a fun group last week so it should be an enjoyable afternoon!

Have a terrific day!

The card - another little break from snowflakes.  The grunge background and the flower are both from Altenew.  I colored the flower with copics.

One little appointment this afternoon - hmmm...maybe I can get the chores done today.  Or not!   We'll see how motivated I am after a little more caffeine.

Have a great day!

The card - a snowflake border die cut from SU.  I should have put some bling in the center of the snowflakes :)  

Yesterday didn't end up quite as planned, as Sara got called into work and I ended up with Hudson after all.  We spent some time with his other Grandma and had a fun day!  But, the chores I had planned on doing certainly didn't get done - I may be able to get a few done this morning, but will be spending the afternoon at Hi Fashion stitching (more fun anyway!)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - super simple - I embossed the panel of cardstock and then cut it into three equal strips.  Added some bling and a sentiment.  Easy peasy!

No little one today - lots of plans for getting some chores done.  We'll see how that works out :)

Have a wonderful day!

I want to get some stitching projects ready to work on, so that is my goal for today before Hudson gets here for an overnight 'Grandma time'.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - just a cute snowman.......

'Grandma time' today, Friday night crafting tonight.  We're celebrating Deb's birthday tonight  so that will be fun!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - more snowflakes.  I just added some popped up, punched snowflakes to the embossed snowflake background.  An added sentiment, some ribbon and a little bling were finishing touches.

Need to do a little housework this morning and then I'm off for an afternoon of stitching.  A new group starting today at the new quilt store, Inspirations.  Looking forward to a new experience!  Then tonight we are celebrating birthdays at our Shoebox Club.  A fun day!

Enjoy your day!

The card - a little break from snowflakes and winter stuff (although I still have more)  The flowers are from Altenew and I used Copics to color them.  I used some miscellaneous grunge stamps on the background.

Off to Montrose for my knitting class this morning.  The store has moved into a new building so I am anxious to see the new place! Then it's back home (it's an hour drive each way) and maybe a nap, but then I need to get ready for class tonight.

Have a great day!

The card - what's not to love about this snowflake die cut and this cute little snowman?

Class this morning and then I need to get some chores done because the rest of my week is busy, busy, busy!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - an embossed snowflake with some added mittens.  The mittens are a SU punch (an old one) and they are popped up with some added string.

'Grandma time' today, knitting at The Craft Studio tonight.  Sounds like a good day to me!

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - a wall hanging that I made for Christmas gfits.

Time to clean up the mess I made yesterday - I am a terribly messy stamper!  But I got quite a lot done so that felt good!  Now I need to get the class stuff cut and bagged and  ready for class this week!

Have a great day!

It's going to be a stamping day - woo hoo!  Time to get class projects done and some fun stuff too!

'Grandma time' today.  Friday night crafting tonight.  A regular kind of Friday!

Looking forward to an afternoon of stitching at Hi Fashion with our Wool Gatherer's Group today. 

Have a terrific day!

The card - snowflakes stamped on a small panel with an added sentiment, some ribbon, some bling and an embossed background.  Easy Peasy.

Working on getting applique pieces put together and ready to stitch.  Sure have a lot of projects I want to do!  Haircut today too.  It's nice to have a few days with no outside commitments :)

Have a great day!

The card - used another new die cut I just got.  (can you tell I'm trying to get Thank you cards done?)  It's a simple card, just the die cut, a sentiment and some ribbon, but rather elegant. 

Whew!  Have to say I'm rather glad the holidays are over.  I had a wonderful time and loved every minute, but I'm ready for some 'regular' life!  I have one goal for this coming year and that is to 'FOCUS"!  I haven't done well at that for the last couple of years, which was only to be expected, but I'm feeling the need to be a little more in control and I have a lot of things I want to accomplish (crafty things mostly!)  So, today I must focus and get started on a long list of things I want to get done!  (or at least make a plan!)

Hope you all had a super great holiday season!

Have a wonderful day!

Happy

New Year!
