Saturday Quote.....

A few chores this morning and then on to some 'artistic endeavors'.   Doesn't seem like I've been accomplishing much this week - I have good intentions, but then I get side-tracked and lose my focus.  Hmmm.....

Have a wonderful day!

The card - background is patterned paper with a die cut border at the bottom of the mat.  Flowers and the sentiment piece are die cut.  Super easy!

Had an unexpected 'Grandma day' with Ethan yesterday which was nice.  So, yesterday's plan to stamp is now today's plan.  

Have a wonderful day!

The card - background piece and smaller white panel are both embossed.  Leaves are stamped, die cut and popped up on the side of the gold metal circle.  

I think it's going to be a stamping day.  (can't think of anything better to do at this point anyway!)  

Have a great day!

The card - background is stamped with a script stamp and a bit of grunge.  The flower and stems are die cut in white and then I used a sponge to add the color.  The sentiment is stamped and then die die cut with a tag shape.  A bit of added twine and some bling.

Have an appointment to get my car serviced this morning and then the rest of the day is free.  Hmmmm.....pretty sure I should be able to find something to do!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - just some pretty patterned paper, a sentiment and some ribbon.  Super easy!

Chores this morning, stitching group this afternoon and class tonight.  A full day!

Waiting on test results (they were out of Rapid tests 😞)  Not feeling too awful, but don't have much ambition.  I don't do sick well!  I did get a bit of stamping done yesterday in between naps, so maybe I'll do a bit more today.
