The card - stamped images are all Hero Arts.  I stamped the script part twice down the side of the panel and then stamped the tree on top.  Some added bling, twine and an embossed background panel.

'Grandma time' today - a Kindermusik day!  That's all.

Have a great day!

The card - a little grunge, some patterned paper, a sentiment and a scrunched up, sponged leaf with some twine.  Can't get much easier than that.

Back home, it was a short trip (much too short!).  But it was good to get away for even a couple of days and Sherry was such a gracious hostess.  Have some new stamps, some new wool and patterns and some fun yarn for a couple of projects.  All is good! 

Back to the regularly scheduled program.....'Grandma time' today, Friday night crafting tonight. 

Have a wonderful day!

The card - just some random leaves in a variety of colors.  Leaves are from SU.  

Enjoying my time away from home :)  The drive over the mountains was beautiful ....love those fall colors.  Had time to do a bit of shopping when I got here (new stamps - yay!) and then had Five Guys for dinner, oh so yummy!  Then  Sherry took me to a yarn shop for some work time....I got a bit of knitting done, but was more entralled watching the ladies spin yarn, do needle punch and rug hooking. 

Off to my Thirty-One meeting this morning and then I will go visit the wool shop, meet Sherry after work for some more shopping and then dinner.  Life is Good!

Enjoy your day!

The card - I punched a circle and then used that piece to sponge the circle.  The flowers (from Unity) are stamped in black over the top.

Off to the eastern slope today to visit my friend Sherry and to attend a Thirty-One meeting tomorrow.  So looking forward to cranking up the music and seeing the fall colors.  It's been soooo long since I've been out of town that even this short little road trip is going to be awesome!

Have a great day!

The card - not much stamping.  The background is strips of patterned paper.  The leave is punched out, crumpled up and sponged.  The leaf is also popped up and I added some twine.  Easy!

The card - some printed paper, a leaf stamp and a sentiment.  Easy peasy!  I stamped the leaf lightly on the card front (stamping off) and full strength on the cream panel, plus a couple of stamped off ones.  The cream panel is popped up.

 Chores to do - lots of them.  I have a whole list of things to get done this week.  Hudson is off with his Mom visiting family in Denver, so I need to take advantage of the next few days and get some stuff done.  Well, that's my goal anyway!  Today is yard work. 

Have a great day!

The card - more vases......so many things you can do with this set from SU.

'Grandma time' today and tonight.  Poor guy was sick all day yesterday so we ended up on the sofa most of the day.  And when I say sick, I mean the throwing up kind of sick.  And he happened to be sitting on my lap each and every time.  Several changes of clothes (for both of us) and several loads of laundry with blankets and towels.  What a day!  Been a good many years since I've had to deal with that.  But we survived and I'm hoping he is all better today!

Have a great day!

Time to mow the lawn.  That's my job today.  I'm thinking that I may take a drive up to the mountains this afternoon.  Haven't had my camera out of the bag in months and it's way cooler up there.... it's supposed to hit a 103 today, so it just may be time for a little photo trip!

Have a great day!

The card - a simple birthday one using some printed paper and a little added twine.   The stamped images are from SU.  

Hmmm...never got around to getting any of the things done yesterday that I had planned on.  Got so sidetracked with some computer stuff that ended up pretty much wasting the whole day!  Ugh!  Oh well....moving on.  Today's plan is to at least get a bit of housework done!   But looking forward to a fun evening stitching with friends.

Have a great day!

The card - more dandelion....love this stamp set!   I stamped the image on a piece of white cardstock, then cut it into strips before mounting it on the black.  The panel is popped up.

Sorry I missed yesterday.  Just totally spaced it out.  It was a 'Grandma time' day, so I never even remembered until much later.  Today I have to get ready for a class this morning, and then a friend is coming over to stitch tonight.  Maybe I'll get something accomplished in between - or not!

Have a wonderful day!
