The card - flower and die cut leaves are from SU.  Sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.  

Looking forward to a few hours of stitching at Hi Fashion today.  I'm working on a fall table runner I'd really like to get finished so I could put it on my coffee table before fall is over!

Have a great day!

The card - background embossing folder and leaves stamp/die are from SU.  The leaves are stamped with Crumb Cake and also sponged on the edges with Crumb Cake (the color looks a little off in the scan) 

"Grandma time' today.  That's about the extent of my plans for the day!

Have a terrific day!

Photo Sunday - Hudson at 6 months - he is growing so fast!

I got totally sidetracked yesterday and never got any stamping done, so, maybe today.

Go Broncos!

Have a super day!

Photo Saturday - some fall goodness on Grand Mesa

Off to a middle school football game this morning and then I'm hoping to get some stamping done this afternoon.

Have a wonderful day.

The card - and even more swirlys....the strip across the bottom is washi tape...the sentiment is from Altenew.

"Grandma time' today and then
Friday night crafting.....Life is Good!

Have a wonderful day.

The card - this doesn't show up as well in this scan as it does it real life.....the stamped image is from SU...I stamped it in black on a piece of patterned paper and then just added a sentiment, some ribbon and some flagged pieces at the top.  

Trying to work up the energy to do some yard work today.  The yard has been really neglected the last few weeks and is looking pretty shabby.  So, maybe today I can get out and do some cleanup.  Then I will have to get ready for tonight's class.

Enjoy your day!

The card - I used a die cut from the 'swirly set' for this one.  I cut my panel to size, then cut the die, took the die cut part out and adhered the pieces back together.  There is a patterned piece of paper underneath that then shows through.  (I hope that explanation makes some sort of sense!)

A full day coming up....have a few chores I'd like to get done this morning and then it's off to Hi Fashion for a day of stitching fun.  Then it's back home to get ready for class tonight.

Have a terrific day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  The flower stamp was inked with markers.  

Have to get ready for class this morning and then after that it's time to go get a new driver's license (mine was, of course, in my purse when it was stolen).  I haven't had time to deal with that until today, and hopefully that is the last of the replacement stuff I need to do!

Have a great day!

The card - and even more swirlys.....stamped images and die cuts are from SU.  Sentiment is from Altenew. 

"Grandma time' today.  Nothing but a day of enjoying Hudson to look forward to!

Have a great day.

Off to breakfast and then a nice relaxing day of stitching at our Black Sheep Sunday gathering!

Have a wonderful day.

Photo Saturday - this rose bushes is one I planted in Tracy's memory - it was blooming quite nicely for the Broncos season opening game on Thursday night!  

Off to a middle school football game later this morning and then it's home and time to get class projects done!  My schedule got just a little messed up this week and I haven't gotten anything done that was on my 'to do list' - oops!

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  A little ribbon and some patterned paper - quick and easy!

More 'Grandma time' today.  Some time during the day I need to get the 'wool room' cleaned up before Friday night crafting.....hoping Hudson takes a longer nap than he has been.   Poor kid was downright cranky yesterday which is totally out of character.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  The strip at the bottom is washi tape.

A little excitement around here yesterday.  Discovered that someone had come into my garage (we think it was through the window), took my purse out of my car and a few odds and ends of stuff.  Weird.  The biggest hassle was calling the bank and credit card companies and having everything cancelled and new ones issued.  It could have been worse, (they didn't come in the house)  and the window is now reinforced, the locks have all been changed (there were house keys in my purse) and the credit card companies have all been called.  I only have to go get a new driver's license.  Whew!  It's been quite the week.  I have Hudson again today, the babysitter is still sick.  Have to at least get the table cleaned off because we have Shoebox Club tonight.  All is good!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - another swirly card.....the black and white strip down the side is washi tape and I put it on before I embossed the panel.  The flower and the sentiment are popped up.

One more baby day....the babysitter is still sick.  Maybe I can get a couple of chores done while he takes a nap!

Have a terrific day!

The card - flower and background are from SU.  I used a background grunge stamp and stamped it twice without re-inking to get the dark and light color.  The flower is stamped in black on the top.

More 'Grandma time' today - the regular babysitter is sick so....... glad I have a fairly clear week!

Have a great day!

The card - super simple....stamped images are from SU.   I used a punch for the 'postage' piece and then matted it with black and popped it up on the background.  Super easy!

I hope you all are having a great holiday weekend.  I can hardly believe that it's already Labor Day....wow!  One last bbq tonight so not only do I get 'Grandma time' today, but I need to get my house together and food prepared!  Today's goal is to multi task!!!!

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - my first knitted scarf.....finished this a few days ago.  

Just a bit late getting this post up....had to deal with a baby this morning.....yep, not much sleep last night, but that's ok, I'll catch up later.  

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - Hudson is growing so fast!

It's Jeff & Sara's anniversary today so I get some overnight 'Grandma time' this weekend.  It will be nice for them to get away for a night.... I haven't had to get up in the night with a baby for 40 years, so it will be interesting to say the least.  But it's ok, I can sleep tomorrow after they pick him up!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  The rectangle in the background is done by inking up a clear block and using it just like a stamp.  

Lots of rain this morning....but that's ok....good day to be indoors for 'Grandma time'!  Looking forward to Friday night crafting too!

Have a great day!

The card - more swirly things......some printed paper with some added ribbon, bling and a butterfly.  Too fun!

Rain?   Where the heck did that come from?   I had planned to do some yard work this morning....hmmm....guess I'll have to see just how wet it is.   Whatever......I'm going to have a fun afternoon at our Wool Gatherer's group this afternoon.  Yay!

Have a wonderful day.
