Crafty Sunday - my new Swedish Weaving project -  a blanket.  This one is definitely going to take a bit more time.  

Looking forward to a day of stamping with friends!  I'm hoping to be very productive - lol - that's always the hope, but not always the result!  

Have a wonderful day!

I ended up going baby shopping yesterday!  That was fun!  My new grandson will be arriving in just a little over a week and eventually I will need to get some things reorganized.  I had thought I'd start on that today, but since it will be awhile before my day care duties start I've decided to spend the day stamping instead!  

Have a terrific day!

Update:  LOL....just got a text from Sara....Hudson is asking for a Grandma day.....now how can I turn that down?  So, guess there won't be any stamping today!  😉

The card - easy one - I used the ferns (SU) around the edge of the card, just stamping them in a variety of fallish colors.  A bit of grunge and some twine!  

Absolutely no idea what I'm doing today.  I probably should clean house, but really not motivated.   Looking forward to our Shoebox Club tonight - we're doing calendar toppers.  It's always fun to see what everyone comes up with.  

Have a great day!

The card - background panel is embossed about two-thirds of the way across.  Square panel is die cut, matted and popped up.   The circle image is stamped, the leaves are die cut and popped up.  a bit of added grunge and a bow of twine.

Some unexpected 'Grandma time' today.  Hopefully the knitting ladies won't mind this afternoon.  (although I guess I better send them a warning as he is suffering from a runny nose!)

Have a great day!

The card - background is die cut along the top edge (SU)   Leaves (SU) are all die cut and tucked behind the sentiment (Papertrey Ink) which is die cut and popped up.  

Class tonight so I better finish getting the kits ready!  (I got sort of sidetracked yesterday).  

Have a wonderful day!

The card - background is embossed.  Circle is die cut and popped up.  The leaves are all stamped, die cut and popped up.  The sentiment is stamped on a punched tag.  (the card stock is a cream color, not white)

I need to work on class stuff today and get stuff ready for Shoebox .  They both kind of snuck up on me so I need to get busy!

Have a terrific day!

The card - background is embossed (SU, subtle)  The flower circles are punched from patterned paper.  The leaf and background circle are die cut.  Sentiment is stamped on a seperate piece and then punched out and popped up.  Super easy!

'Grandma time' today.  That's all!

Have a wonderful day!

Breakfast with a friend this morning and then????  No plans.  I did get the lawn mowed yesterday - yay!  Maybe today I'll work on my Swedish weaving!

Have a wonderful day!

Crafty Saturday - finished my table runner (Swedish Weaving) last night!  Yay!  I started on my next project which is an afghan.  

'Grandma time' today.  Yay!  That's all. 

Have a great day!

The card - background is embossed.  Bottom strip is patterned paper.  Sentiment is stamped on a die cut label.  Leaves are die cut and popped up on small square matted die cut.

No more rain today (I hope).  My yard needs to dry out a bit so I can get it mowed.  It's supposed to be a bit warmer today too - thank goodness!  No big plans today, just going with the flow!  Looking forward to Friday night crafting!

Have a great day!

The card - images (SU) are stamped randomly in the middle of the panel.  Label punch was used for the sentiment which is popped up on top of the images.

Still rainy and cold.  (there goes my plan for mowing the lawn this morning.)  Guess I will clean up the mess I made yesterday - only made the mess, didn't get much accomplished, darn it!   Looking forward to an afternoon relaxing and knitting!

Enjoy your day!   

The card - a really easy one, not much stampin!  The bottom part is patterned paper.  There is a flagged strip across the top of the patterned pice.  The leaves are die cut, the sentiment is stamped and punched out.  A bit of string and a little bling.  

Well, my plan was to mow the lawn this morning - not going to happen.  We got a lot of much needed rain yesterday so it's much too wet.  And since I got the house cleaned yesterday and the fall decorations up I have a pretty free day!  Hmmm...I'll see what I can come up with!

Have a great day!

The card - The background is three strips, each embossed with a different embossing folder.  Each strip is matted on a plain piece of cardstock and then popped up.  The sentiment is stamped on a die cut label and popped up;  The leaves are stamped, die cut and popped up behind the label.

Time to clean house and hopefully get some fall decor out.  I don't plan to leave the house today - it's cold, it's supposed to rain and there's smoke in the air from the fires in Utah - good day to stay in!!!

Have a great day!

The card - a new die cut border panel (Penny Black).   The pitcher (SU) is stamped directly on the background piece.  The leaves are stamped, die cut and then popped up.  I made a small slit at the top of the pitcher and slipped the stems behind the pitcher.  

 BBQ at Jeff's today.  Need to get some food prepared and I'm hoping to get the house cleaned before I go - we'll see - I don't feel very motivated this morning!  But maybe after some more caffeine!

Hope you all are enjoying your Labor Day Weekend!

Stay Safe!  Stay Well!

More 'Grandma time' today.  We had a sleepover last night.   Baking pies today for tomorrow's bbq.  Moving on to water balloons after lunch!

Have a terrific day!

Crafty Saturday - working on a new project.  This is going to be a table runner (Swedish Weaving)  Haven't done any Swedish Weaving for far too long and a friend got me motivated to do some new projects.  I just started this on Wednesday and it's about 2/3 done - yay!  

Some extra 'Grandma time' today - woohoo!  That's all!

Hope you all are starting a fun weekend!  Stay safe.....stay well!  Have a great day!

The card - more of my favorite leaves! (SU)   I gotta say, this has been one of my favorite stamp sets ever!  I stamped a couple of the leaves directly on the background panel.  The rest are stamped, die cut and then popped up.  The little tiny leaves are die cut from gold  and tucked in.  The sentiment is popped up.  A bit of grunge in the background and some gold twine.

Woke up way too early this morning, but can't go back to sleep so I guess I will get started on my day.  I need to get a batch of birthday cards made for the church, so I think I'll work on that today. 

Enjoy your day!

The card - The background is embossed on the top part, leaving the bottom plain.  The small decorative square is a printed piece (Alexandra-Rente) matted on a die cut square and popped up.  I added some ribbon and the sentiment - super easy!

A few chores this morning and then I can relax and enjoy the knitting group this afternoon! 

Have a wonderful day!

The card - background panel is embossed.  The leaves and sentiment are stamped directly on the smaller panel.  The flower is stamped in black, overstamped with a grunge stamp for color, cut out and popped up.

Had great plans for yesterday but only got half done.  (I mowed the lawn, but didn't get the house cleaned.)   But, I did get some stamping done!  Today I need to get the stamping mess cleaned up and then I have a new project I want to start. It's a Swedish Weaving project and I'm excited because I haven't done any for quite a while.  The materials I ordered for the project just came, so now I'm anxious to get started!!!   Looking forward to an evening of stitching with friends! 

Have an awesome day!

The card - I die cut the leaf  (SU) from the background piece, then die cut another leaf from patterned paper and put the patterned paper leaf in the opening on the panel.  The smaller leaf is die cut and popped up on the edge of the sentiment.  Some added grunge on the background.

Can you believe it's September?   I am so not ready for summer to end.  (well, maybe I'm a little tired of the hundred degree temps) - it's getting dark so much earlier already...ugh!  I actually love fall - the colors, the cooler temps, the decorations - but the pessimist in me knows that winter is coming after fall - ugh!  I'm going to try and just enjoy the fall this year and not think about the coming winter!!!!  LOL - that's a hard one!

Have a terrific day!
