The card - super simple - just some printed paper a sentiment and some ribbon.  I did mean to sponge the sentiment piece to make it look a little distressed to match the paper....forgot til it was all put together - oops!

A day totally free of commitments - oh my!  So many things I want to get done, but not feeling very motivated.  Hopefully that will change after some more caffeine.

Have a great day!

The card - a butterfly die cut from SU and a simple sentiment.  How easy is that.  I love butterflies and I'm ready for some 'spring stuff'!  How about you?

A fiarly free day - have so many chores I need to get done, but not sure where to start.  Haircut this afternoon and class tonight, so I can't totally ignore the whole day!

Enjoy your day!

The card - more grunge!  Friday's card and this one were done with grunge stamps from SU.  Love the look!

'Grandma time' today.  A little stitching with friends tonight.  Sounds like a perfect kind of day!

Have a terrific day!

Enjoy your day!

The card - some printed paper, a sentiment and some bling.  Easy peasy!  I lined the stamp up with the top edge of the printed paper - kind of a cool look!

Chores this morning, stitching at Inspirations this afternoon and then some friends are coming over to stitch tonight.  A fun day!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - a really easy one - some background dots with a birthday sentiment, an embossed strip down the side and a little bling.

Trying to get back on track this week.  Had a funeral to attend yesterday, but then managed to get just a little stamping done last night.  Going to try to get a bit more done this morning before I have to clean things up for class tonight. 

Have a great day!

The card - the background is sponged using a Tim Holtz stencil.  The flowers are from SU.

Sorry I haven't posted for the last week.  Somehow life just got away from me last week.  Some unexpected 'Grandma time' - babysitter's kid was sick, then Jeff was sick over the weekend.  And, of course I haven't had the time (or mostly the energy) to get any stamping done.  I'm hoping to do better this week, but no promises. 

Have a great day!

The card - just a little grunge from Altenew.  An easy one, but fun.  The sentiment pieces are popped up and I added just a little bling.

'Grandma time' today.  That's all.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - punched hearts, and some washi tape.  The circle in the background is from Papertrey Ink, the love is from Hero Arts.  And then a little added bling. 

Knitting class this morning and then I have friends coming over for dinner and some stitching tonight.   Old friends, new at stitching - it will be fun!

Forewarning....I'm out of cards so you may not hear from me for a few days.  I'm hoping to get a couple of cards done this afternoon, but it may not happen.  In that case I should be back on Monday!

Have a great day!

The card - sorry, this one didn't scan very well - shadows and a smahsed string.  Hope you get the idea anyway.  The small heart is popped up on the small square for dimension.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - I used a border punch to punch the hearts and then matted that pice on top of a red mat.  It's popped up on top of the embossed piece.  

'Grandma time' today, (and overnight too!),  Friday night crafting tonight.  Sounds like a perfect kind of day to me!

Have a great day!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped images and background embossing folder are from SU.  A simple layout, but kind of fun.

Ah....a free day.  Oh my, what will I do with myself?  I do need to finish up some paper work from yesterday's party (it was a great party and it was fun meeting some new people!) but the rest of my day is free for.......maybe some stitching, or knitting, or stamping ?????  We'll see.

Have a great day!

I have a 31 Party in Hotchkiss today, which is an hour away.  So, that will take up most of my day.  Looking forward to meeting some new people and getting them excited about 31 bags!

Have a terrific day!

Have a wonderful day!

Project Sunday - a wall hanging I made for a birthday gift.

I ended up with an unexpected afternoon with Hudson yesterday so didn't get any of the things done that I had planned on - and that is entirely ok.  I did finish a wool project last night and started binge watching a new series that a friend loaned me, so all is good!   Today I may have Hudson again for the afternoon, so haven't really made any other plans....I'm good with that :)

Enjoy your day!

The card - stamped images and the background embossing folder are from SU.  ( I just realized I should have masked the sun before stamping the mountains...just a note if you do this one!)  This would make a good 'guy card'.

Looking forward to an afternoon of stitching at Inspirations and then I have friends coming tonight so I can get them started on stitching (sharing the love.....)

Have a wonderful day!

Have a great day!
