The card - same stamp as yesterday but a totally different look.  The image is stamped with a light gray and the leaves and flowers are colored with copics.

More 'Grandma time' today.  Just me and Hudson for the rest of the week.  Hudson has plans for us!  Class tonight.  

Have a great day!

The card - I spent most of the day on Saturday playing with this stamp!  It was fun AND productive!   I stamped the image with dark green on a lighter green cardstock.  Then I colored just the flowers with white using white craft ink and a blender brush.  That's it.  Easy Peasy!

'Grandma time' with both boys today.  It's Ethan's regular day but Hudson will be spending the week here because there's no school - it's Spring Break!  

Have a wonderful day!

Photo Sunday - can't beat good ol' cardboard for some fun playtime!

Catch up day.  Time to do a little cleaning.  Not sure why, but it hasn't been done for a while.  The boys will be here tomorrow and Hudson for the rest of the week, so it's probably a lost cause, but it will be good for today!

Have a great day!

Looking forward to a day of stamping with my friend Karen.  Productive?  Who knows, but I'm going to enjoy the day!

Have a marvelous day!

The card - super simple one today.  All the parts are just stamped directly on the background panel.   A bit of bling is added to the small flowers.

No big plans for today, but I think I'll spend a little time playing with some stamps!

The card - background is embossed.  Flower panel is die cut and then I colored the flowers and leaves with a sponge brush.  I stamped the sentiment on the background before I embossed!  Add a bit of bling and a ribbon bow.

Have a great day!

'Grandma time' with Hudson today.  We haven't had time for just the two of us in a long time!  He was pretty funny last night (we had a sleepover) when we were starting our movie - he said, 'Grandma, we can be as noisy as we want!'  I seem to always be telling him to be quiet when Ethan is sleeping :)  It's supposed to snow so it looks like an indoor day - when I ask him what we were going to do he said 'play games ALL day!'.  So, on to breakfast and then games!

Have a wonderful day!
