The card - pretty self-explanatory. The smaller panel with the stamped image (from SU) is popped up.
Going to try and get a little yard work done this morning when it warms up. All the rain we got earlier has given the weeds a head start so I need to deal with those. Looking forward to an evening of stitching with friends.
Have a great day!

The card - no stamping on this one! The background is embossed, the shapes are punched from patterned paper and the hello is a die cut. Super Easy!
Had great plans for getting the house cleaned up today - however, it seems like allergy season has come or else I have a cold. Yuk! We'll see how it goes.
Have a wonderful day!

The card - background grunge is from SU, sentiment is from HoneyBee. A fun one!
I have a totally free day and no plan. Oh oh. I need to think of something constructive to do. I really wanted to take a little road trip, but couldn't find anyone that could go today. I think it's supposed to rain today anyway, so probably better to stay in.
Have a wonderful day!

The card - background is from a set called Kind Confetti by Altenew (yesterday's sentiment came from this set also!) The balloons are punched and the celebrate (SU) is stamped at the bottom. I drew the lines with a fine tip marker.
A bit of a free morning - not sure what I will do, except finish cleaning up the mess from the birthday celebration last night! Looking forward to an afternoon of stitching at Laura's and then stitching with friends at home this evening! Sounds like a good day to me!
Have a great day!

The card - playing with a new set of background stamps (SU) Fun!
Today is Hudson's birthday.....so, I get some extra Grandma time today! Yay! Not sure what we're going to do, but it will be something fun. (I'm thinking Chuckee Cheese). Family dinner tonight, so there's cooking involved today too. Looking forward to a fun day!
Enjoy YOUR day!

The card - a new stamp! My friend Emily let me borrow this new set from SU....isn't it pretty? I'm trying to 'think spring'! Patterned paper in the background, the flowers are stamped on the small panel. I added a strip for the sentiment and added some twine to that.
Our Wool Gatherer's Group is the afternoon and I need to get a project put together so I have something to work on! I better get to work on that!
Have a great day!

The card - another super simple one. The sentiment is stamped on a smaller panel and popped up. I added a bit of bling. The background is patterned paper. So many different looks you could do depending on the patterned paper you used.
'Grandma time' today. Looks like an indoor day - we've moved from snow to rain. (at least it not quite as cold!) Friday night crafting tonight. All is good!
Have a great day!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - quick and easy. A bit of black and white. Everything is stamped in black and I just added a bit of shading to the flowers. A little bling is the finishing touch.
Have an appointment this morning and then I need to figure out what I'm doing for a card for our Shoebox Club tonight.
Have a wonderful day!

A fairly free day, not sure what I'm doing. A couple of errands and then hopefully I'll be motivated to do some more decluttering. Or not! Class tonight.

Wednesday, February 13, 2019
The card - a super simple valentine's card. The background printed paper is cut leaving a space between the two pieces where the sentiment goes. And then, just some added punched hearts.
I made quite the mess in the stamp room yesterday, so that means that I have to get it cleaned up today. I wish I could be a 'neat stamper' and clean up as I go....hahaha! ......I've tried, but it just doesn't work for me! So, that's my main goal for the day. Looking forward to some stitching with a friend tonight.
Have a great day!

The card - let's think spring! Some patterned paper for the background, a little added ribbon, a sentiment a layered circle and two sizes of butterflies, layered on the circle. The butterflies are stamped first with black and then the color is added with detail stamps, then they are punched out. I love this new butterfly set from SU.
Errands this morning, then working on class stuff this afternoon. Tonight is movie night at Hi Fashion- something new - watching a movie, snacks and stitching. Should be fun!
Have a wonderful day!

Enjoy your day!

The card - a new butterfly set from SU. This is a quick and easy one. The butterflies are stamped and then punched out (yep, there is a matching punch). The strips are washi tape and the sentiment is added just above them.
Time to get some house cleaning done - just have to talk myself into getting started. Looking forward to an evening stitching with friends!
Have a wonderful day!

The card - moving on from snowflakes.....I'm ready for spring! The vase and flowers are from SU (another gift from my friend Emily!) The flowers are stamped directly on the small panel, the vase is stamped, punched out and popped up. (sorry, the vase didn't scan very well). The gray stripes are strips of card stock adhered to the larger panel. The small panel is popped up on top of the strips.
Decided to start some cleaning out yesterday. Hmmm.....needs to be done, but now I have a huge mess. Started with the dining room hutch. Oh my.....such a huge pile of glass dishes that belonged to my mother and grandmother. I have only a few that I actually use, but hard to get rid of the rest. But, I'm determined to get rid of this stuff I never use! Back to it today!
Have a great day!

The card - the last of the snowflakes for this year. The background is patterned paper and I just added some die cuts, a couple strips of paper, a sentiment and a bit of bling. Easy!
No real plan for today. Can't seem to get myself motivated even though there's a ton of stuff on my 'to do list'. Hopefully I can get something accomplished today!
Have a wonderful day!
Tuesday, January 29, 2019
The card - just a couple more snowflakes. The dotted strip down the side is patterned paper. The snowflake die cuts are popped up. Some added twine and the sentiment is stamped and then punched out with an oval. The sentiment is also popped up.
A little extra 'Grandma time' this morning while the babysitter is at the Dr's. Then it's a free day - hmmmm....have lots I need to do, just can't figure out where to start......stamping? stitching? knitting? cleaning? laundry?
Have a great day!

The card - this is one of my favorites.....simple and easy too! The background is stamped at the top and the bottom. I sponged the edges of a flagged strip and added it across the center. The snowflake is popped up.
'Grandma time' today. Yay! Celebrating our friend Deb's birthday tonight! Fun!
Have a great day!

The card - I stamped a snowflake in the middle of the background, added a strip of white across the middle and then added the snowflake border die on top of that. I die cut one small snowflake in a different color and added that on the right. The color of the card is Sahara Sand - much prettier in real life than it shows in the scan!
Oh gosh, I seem to have a day with no plan and no pressing commitments! Hmmm....whatever shall I do? The laundry is done, the house is fairly clean....... I should be able to find something to do to keep myself occupied!! We'll see!!! (there's probably something important I'm forgetting to do!)
Have a wonderful day!

The card - a little black and white today. I stamped the wreath twice without re=inking to get a shadow effect. I punched it out with a circle and popped it up. The background on the right is printed paper and the stems behind the circle are cie cuts.
A haircut and errands this morning, class tonight.
Have a great day!
