The card - stamped images are from Unity.  The center panel is popped up.

Having a hard time getting going this morning.   Hmmm......first free day I've had in a while, certainly don't want to waste it.   Maybe some more caffeine will help!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - super simple one.  The leaf is a die cut (Tim Holtz) that I cut from some Tim Holtz patterned paper.  I then crumpled it up a bit and popped it up on the card front.  I added some grunge behind the leaf and sponged the edges of the panel.  Added some string and a sentiment.

Off to a meeting this morning - working out some details for Tracy's service.

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  I inked the leaves with honey and then sponged a bit of mustard here and then before stamping to get some variety in the color.

Have a ton of stuff to get done this week.  I cannot believe it's almost Thanksgiving - yikes!  (I did get the closet finished yesterday - yay - one thing off the list!)

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - works in progress, but nothing finished this week :)

Back to work on the closet today.  I got started yesterday, but then got totally sidetracked and never got finished.  Hopefully I can stay focused today!

Have a wonderful day!

Photo Saturday - at Corn Lake

It's cold!  I think that means it's time to put the flip flops away (darn!) and exchange the short-sleeve shirts in the closet for the long sleeve ones.  That would be the goal for the day!

Have a wonderful day!

A lunch date today with my daughter-in-law and her mother.  And then Friday night crafting to look forward to!  Just fun stuff today!

Have a great day!

The card - flowers and leaves are from SU.  The border is a stencil that I sponged.  The flowers are stamped with honey on white, then punched out and popped up.  The leaves are stamped on green with green and cut out. 

Have to go get a haircut this morning.  Our Shoebox Club is tonight and as usual I don't have my project done.  We're doing calendar toppers, so maybe I can get something together this afternoon.  We'll see......

Have a terrific day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  I used a grunge stamp for some background on the small panel, then stamped the flower on top of the grunge.  The small panel is popped up.  Colors are taupe and navy.

An afternoon of stitching and then class tonight.  Since the stitching group is meeting here I really must get some stuff cleaned up a bit this morning.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - super simple one today.  Stamped images are from Papertrey Ink.   

Need to finish up my class projects today and get them cut and bagged, plus go to the grocery store, pick up the house a bit and get dinner ready for Jeff, Sara and our friend Shelley.  (a planning meeting for the celebration of Tracy's life we're doing Thanksgiving weekend).  Looks like a busy day!

Have a terrific day!

The card - a simple one layer card.  The stamped images are all from Unity.  I stamped the background flowers in the same green as the card base, then stamped the sentiment and the other flowers on top with black.  Easy!

Have a lunch today with some old friends from church then Friday night crafting tonight.  Another busy, but fun day!

Have a wonderful day!

Going to our Wool Gatherer's group this afternoon.  It will be nice to spend an afternoon stitching with some super nice ladies.

Have a great day!

The card - another super easy one - an embossed background, added some patterned paper at the botton, a punched out leag, some twine and a sentiment.  Can't get much easier!

A fun day today - my friend Judy S and I are going to breakfast and then some shopping.  We'll try our best not to get into any trouble :)

Have a great day!

The card - a little bit of grunge.  Stamped images are from Papertrey Ink.  

It's going to be a boy!!!!  I think I mentioned that my son, Jeff and his wife Sara are expecting a baby in the spring.  Well, they just found out yesterday that it's going to be a boy.  Now I can go shopping - yay!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - The leaf is a die cut from Tim Holtz.  I cut it out of some printed paper and used the same paper for the strip down the side.  The small panel is stamped with craft with a script background and then I drew the black line around the edge with a fine marker.  

Well, I've procrastinated long enough - I have class tomorrow night so I think that means I really do need to get the projects done today!

Have a wonderful day!

Photo Saturday - taken in Yellow Springs, OH.   Tracy was at the chiropractor and thought the fall trees outside the window were so pretty she snapped a picture with her phone.  

Have a lunch date today - and then who knows.  I still need to work on class projects....or I may read a book and take a nap.


Happy Halloween!

Friday, October 30, 2015




The card - just one more Halloween card.  The hat, a punched circle, punched stars, some washi tape and a sentiment.  Easy peasy!

Off to breakfast with a friend this morning.  Hopefully when I get back I can actually get some work done on class projects.  Looking forward to Friday night crafting!
