The card - stamped images are from SU.  I'm a big fan of flower stamps and this new one from SU is a lot of fun.  Multiple stamps to make your own flower arrangements in different colors!

"Grandma time' today, Friday night crafting tonight.  Ah yes....it's going to be a good day!

Enjoy your day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  I stamped the right side of the card stock with matching ink - the left side is printed paper.  

Off to help my friend Deb today.  They just bought a house and there's painting to be done!

Have a terrific day!

The card - Love this new set from SU.  The chair is a die cut.  The background is an old brick background stamp that I found hiding in my stash!  I inked up just part of it instead of making it a solid piece.  (I think I'll be using this stamp a lot more - it's pretty cool!)  

Oh my - a day with no plan.  Oh oh, that's not always a good thing.  We'll see what I can come up with - there's plenty to do, I just need to pick something!

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  The square with the chair was stamped using a clear block, coloring it with markers, spritzing with water and then stamping.  I really like layout of this card, but it didn't stamp as nicely as I would have liked (the sentiment is crooked too) - I decided to post it anyway hoping you could use the idea :)

My original plan today was to do a bit of clean-up in the yard - however, it's raining so I guess I need to revise my plan.  I know there's plenty to do inside, just need to figure out where to start!

Have a great day!

"Grandma time' today.  Looking forward to a fun day!

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - my July 'Block of the Month' truck.

Well, yesterday just didn't work out like I planned.  For some reason I just could not get motivated and I ended up sleeping a lot....didn't feel sick, but just couldn't get going.  So, here's hoping I can get in the groove today!!!!

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - on Grand Mesa

Sorry for the lack of posts this past week.  I ran out of stamped cards so had nothing to post!  That is my goal this weekend - I have a couple of days with no commitments so my plan is stay home and get some stamping done!  Here's hoping for a productive couple of days!!!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - a simple one with SU's new Daisy.  The daisy is stamped twice, layered together and then popped up.

"Grandma time' today.  That's my only plan for the day!

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - I finally did this project that I've had for several years.  Have the perfect place to hang it for August.

Didn't get quite as much done yesterday as I had planned - for some reason it is hard for me to focus these days.  Hmmm....not sure what that is all about.  But, what the heck.  Today a friend and I are going to check out the Farmer's Market in Palisade.  I've heard it's a good one and it will be a fun Sunday thing to do!

Have a great day!


(Vicki, the Colorado National Monument is just outside Grand Junction / Fruita, Colorado.  It's one of my favorite places to go!  Please check it out if you're in the area!)

Photo Saturday - one of Jeff's recent photos - on the Colorado National Monument

After a week of having Hudson every day I think I'm going to miss the little guy today :)  But, I do have a ton of stuff I need to get done so I need to take advantage of a day without a little one.

Have a great day!

The card - I stamped the Happy outline, then embossed, then stamped the circles over the top.  The embossing (or debossing) allows the Happy to stay white under the stamping. 

One more day of 'Grandma time' for this week.  Friday night crafting tonight!

Have a terrific day!

The card - more daisies.  I stamped one set full strength and the other one I stamped off to make it a bit lighter.  The strip on the side is patterned paper.  (sorry about the yellow shadow - it's from the scanner).  The flowers are popped up.

More 'Grandma time' today.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - more daisies.  I stamped 6 flowers on matching cardstock, punched them out, doubled them up and popped them up.  The jar is a die cut and I added some lines around the edge and stampede some grunge across the bottom to make it look like water.  I stamped the stems on the jar and added some leaves and twine.

More 'Grandma time' today, class tonight.

Have a great day!

The card - just a lot of fun stuff going on in this one.  The black & white polka dot piece is washi tape.  The sentiment piece is popped up.

More 'Grandma time' today.  Plus, I have a class this morning.  Hopefully Hudson will play quietly while I'm doing class :)  But I have a few things I need to get done before he gets here so I better get to it!

Have a terrific day!

The card - I got the embossing folder that goes with this SU set...fun!  You emboss the word, then stamp over it and it leaves the word the color of the background paper (in this case white)  Fun stuff!

Lots of 'Grandma time' this week.  The babysitter is on vacation, so I will have Hudson all week.  Glad I got most of my work done over the weekend :)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - another Daisy from SU.  Again, I stamped the flower twice, punched each one out and then layered them together and popped it up on the card.  

"Grandma time' today.  Looking forward to a nice relaxing play day and then Friday night crafting tonight.

Have a wonderful day.

The card - love this new Daisy Delight set from SU.  And there's a punch (I love punches)  The daisy is stamped twice, punched out and layered.  It's popped up on the card.  

A busy day today.  I need to get myself organized this morning.... looking forward to Wool Gatherer's at Hi Fashion this afternoon.....and then I'm doing a vendor display at The Craft Studio tonight.  So, if you're local, come down to Farmer's Market tonight and check out my display of Thirty-One bags - I have some new stuff for you to feast your eyes on :)  (I will be downstairs at The Craft Studio, on the patio)

Have a great day!

The card - the black & white stripe is printed paper, the stamped panel is added on the top.  I stamped the background grunge them added the sentiment on top with black and then just a bit of bling.

A free day today - I MUST focus and get some stamping done.  At least that's my goal :)

Have a terrific day!

The card - pretty darn easy....a little patterned paper, a flower from Prima, a little bit of grunge and a sentiment punched out with an oval.  

"Grandma time' today, plus I get an overnight and all day tomorrow.  Woo hoo!  Now, I just need to figure out how to get the grocery shopping done for a bbq tomorrow night.  Actually, that should be easy, Hudson loves to go places where there is a cart to ride in!  It's all good!

Have a terrific day!
