The card - more tulips  (from Papertrey Ink)  The background paper is from SU and I thought it was a cool look for this card.  

A ton of chores to do today.  My poor house has been  rather neglected lately so I think it's time to do a bit of cleaning.  Not my favorite activity these days, but it always feels so good when it's done!  That's my goal for the day - well, that and getting ready for class tonight!

Have a terrfic day!

The card - butterfly is from SU.  I stamped it with black on yellow cardstock and then colored it a bit with copics.  It's cut out and popped up.

Need to get ready for my class this morning.  Have a bit of free time this afternoon - maybe I will get a few errands done, or take a nap, or ???  Who knows.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - more tulips!   Tulips are from Papertrey Ink - strips down each side is washi tape.  Spring is here!  I actually saw a whole yard filled with blooming tulips yesterday - so pretty!   

'Grandma time' today!  A couple of hours of stitching with friends tonight - yay!  A good day it will be!

Enjoy your day!

Aww....a free day!  Only one I'm going to have for a while, so I better take advantage.  Although my dream would be to spend the day in my pj's reading and doing nothing, I don't think that will work 😉  My plan is to get some stamping done and get ready for class next week!  Now, if I can just focus and not get side-tracked!!

Have a terrific day!

The card - the sentiemtn (HB) is from Papertrey Ink.  I embossed it with white and then sponged over it with yellow and punched out the circle.  It is popped up on the dry embossed background.

An extra day of 'Grandma time' today.  (Babysitter issues)  Just as well, I didn't have even a glimmer of a plan for the day, so I wouldn't have accomplished much anyway - a day of fun works better for me!

Have a great day!

The card - not a good scan - card is much more subtle ...done all in Greys.  Flowers are from SU, stamped and punched out and popped up.

Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend.  We had a great family day and then Hudson spent the night.  Yay for me!  Today we're off to Kindermusik and then who knows what fun things we can find to do!

Have a great day!

A couple of last minute errands today and then I just need to get my house cleaned up a bit and get ready for tomorrow.

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

Have a wonderful day!

The card - the sentiment stamp is from Papertrey Ink.  I stamped and then embossed it with white and then stamped the background over it.  I used a grunge stamp and spritzed it with water before stamping to get more of a watercolor look.

Enjoy your day!

Have a wonderful day!

For tonilea - aww...thank you so much for the comment yesterday!  I am glad I can be an inspiration to you - how sweet you are!  A little explanation for you - Grand  Junction is in the western part of Colorado, very close to the Utah border.  I love it!  And, yes I always look forward to having my Grandson - I'm probably a bit more attached because he was born just a few months after my daughter passed away suddenly.  He has been my life-line the past two years.  (well, along with his Dad, my son)  Life is precious and I try to make the most of it 😊  Today would have been my daughter's 43rd birthday.  I miss her a lot!  

Project Sunday - another winter project.  This one is also waiting for inspiration on finishing - frame, wall hanging, etc.  

Had an extra day of 'Grandma time' yesterday, so had a fun day instead of getting any work done - haha - works for me!  Now, today, I really should try to get something accomplished!  We'll see how ambitious I am!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - flowers are from SU, sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.  I stamped the flowers on the smoky slate card with smoky slate ink.  The flower on the white panel is also stamped with smoky slate.  Just kind of a subtle look.

Class this morning and I still need to get some of the mess cleaned up from last night's birthday dinner.  (Just didn't have the energy left to deal with it last night!)  Hopefully I can use my free afternoon and evening to get some stuff done!  (besides taking a nap!)

Have a great day!

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!

'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!

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?

Enjoy your 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.

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.

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'.

'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!
