The card - background is sponged using a stencil, then I added some grunge. The bees are stamped, die cut and popped up. The sentiment is stamped, cut out and popped up. Added a bit of bling.
Well, I didn't get the lawn mowed yesterday....but, Hudson had a day at home since his Mom didn't have to work, so I cleaned house. It had been too long. Hopefully I can get the lawn mowed today! And I spent some time learning more about the new computer - that's going to take awhile!
Have a terrific day!

The card - stamped images are from SU. I stamped the flowers in black on the white strip and then added some grunge in the background. The flower at the bottom is stamped with the same color as the card base.
No plan for the day ,,,,,,should mow the lawn, but not sure what the weather forecast is for today. Should do some laundry and clean the house. Hmmmm....lots of things to, just not very motivated this morning!
Have a great day!

Crafty Sunday - a wool applique pillow. I enlarged the pattern to make it big enough for a king size pillow. It resides on the spare bed.
Jeff is playing golf today so Hudson and I will have to figure out something to do. So far the sun is shining so that is a good sign :) I'm trying to think of somewhere to go but my brain is a little mushy. Maybe I need more caffiene!
Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - more at Jeff's website
No plan for today yet. Jeff has been doing some touchup painting around the house (left from when I moved in almost 6 years ago LOL) and he may be over today to do some more. I've placed my 'pickup order' for groceries so will pick those up this afternoon. And now what???? Maybe I'll work on figuring out the new computer :)

The card - my favorite kind of card - black and white! Flowers are stamped with black and then I used some gray to add some shading to the centers.
My son bought me a new computer with some of his stimulus check - now isn't that just the sweetest thing ever. He is a good son!!!!! Now to figure it out....LOL....I love new technology, but I usually hate the learning curve. This old thing that I'm using now is comfortable, but soooo slow. So a new one will be fun, but it's going to be a learning process for sure. Several of the programs I use now are old and discontinued and I won't be able to use them anymore....insert sad face here! :( I will probably use this old one for awhile for this blog stuff until I figure out a new way to do it! Wish me luck!
Have a great day!

The card - background is patterned paper. Circle is die cut. Flowers and leaves are stamped, die cut and popped up. Sentiment is stamped, punched out and popped up. Add a little bling.
Rainy and dreary today. We saw a bit of sunshine yesterday and a bit of warmer temp, so we managed a little outdoor time in the back yard. Yay! Looks like an indoor day today!
Hope you are all still staying well!

The card - circle is a frame stamp (SU). The leaves and tiny flowers are stamped directly on the background. Flowers are stamped, punched out and popped up.
Another cloudy day, although it's supposed to be a bit warmer....we'll see. Getting VERY tired of being in the house - I need to look on Pinterest for activities for Hudson. Maybe I'll start teaching him how to clean LOL!
Have a good day!

The card - circle is punched out of front panel and then I added a piece of gray cardstock behind it. The flower is a die cut (Tim Holtz) and the butterfly is punched out. The front panel is also embossed although it doesn't show well in the scan. (this card is much prettier in real life)
Another day......I am so looking forward to some warmer weather along with the sunshine. But, probably not going to happen today. Getting cabin fever being stuck in the house........
Enjoy your day!!!!

The card - tulips are from SU. Leaves, stems and flowers are stamped directly on the background piece. Sentiment is stamped then punched out and popped up.
More 'Grandma time' today. Not sure what we'll do today - hoping the storm that is coming will hold off until later so we can enjoy some outside time!
Have a great day!

The card - super simple one today. The background is a frame stamp (SU) that I just stamped in different colors. An added sentiment and a little bling. Easy peasy!
Sorry I missed yesterday - just plain forgot! But Hudson and I had a terrific day. Went to Main Street (totally desserted - no issue with social distancing there!) for a photo taking adventure. What fun! It was so much fun watching Hudson get excited about what he was going to take a picture of! He did great too! It was sad to see all the stores closed and no people, but we enjoyed the sunshine and the beautiful spring flowers! I have a day off today - Sara ended up with a day off from work so she kept Hudson at home. Now what? No idea what I'm going to do. This day by day stuff is a little out of my box - I do better with some structure and plans! LOL!
Have a great day!

More 'Grandma time' today. Poor Jeff - he was supposed to be in Las Vegas this week for his annual golf trip with the boys. He's done this golf trip for many years, since he was in college. But, of course it's been cancelled for this year. But, I will keep Hudson today so he and a friend can at least go play some golf here!
Have a good day!

The card - flowers are from SU. Oval is a die cut. The flowers are stamped on the oval and popped up. (the colors didn't scan well, they match better than it shows!)
Well, I'm on full-time babysitting duty for awhile. Jeff & Sara decided they would rather have Hudson coming here rather than preschool/daycare during this whole virus craziness. So.....my life is taking a new turn for awhile!
Loving the sunshine....mowed the lawn yesterday and hopefully can do a bit more outside today.
Enjoy your day!
