Photo Saturday - more fall goodness from Grand Mesa

This will be a day for the record books!  Have to go to a Memorial Service this morning  (a friend for over 65 years) and then to a wedding this afternoon.  Hmmm.....just a bit more craziness from 2020!   Today would have been my daughter's 10th wedding anniversary and it's one of her best friends that is getting married.  I think I'll make sure there are lots of tissues handy!  

Have a great day!

The card - Small white panel is die cut.  

Flowers and large leaf  are stamped and then die cut and popped up.  Smaller leaves and border are die cut.  

Dinner for company again tonight so meal prep is under way.  But, the best part of the day today is that I get to keep the baby for awhile this morning while Sara has an appointment.  Woohoo - baby snuggles!  

Have a wonderful day!

The card - Background is patterned paper.  The strip across the middle is a piece of vellum.  The leaves are die cut and popped up on a matted strip.  Easy peasy!

I got most of my list done yesterday - yay! -  but have to get the house cleaned this morning and prepare some food for tonight's dinner.  So, I'd better get to it!

Have a super great day!

The card - background and small panel are embossed.  The leaves are punched out and popped up.  The green leaf is punched from a piece that has been stamped with the distress background stamp.  some bling, a sentiment and a piece of folded ribbon.

So much happening the rest of this week....I need to get chores done, the lawn mowed, grocery shopping and the house cleaned before company arrives tomorrow.  I better get my 'rear in gear'.  😀

Have a wonderful day!

Crafty Saturday - it's done!  All my knitted  blocks are done and put together!  Yay!  

Hoping to get some stamping done today.  I only managed to get one card made yesterday .....but that's ok because I ended up taking dinner out to Jeff's which meant I got lots of baby snuggles (and Hudson hugs too!)  And that's much more important!

Have a terrific day!

Hoping to get some yard work done today.  Have to wait til it warms up a bit and then jump in before it gets too hot.  It's all in the timing....lol!  I was pretty lazy yesterday, although I did do a couple of errands and then got some knitting done.  So the day wasn't a total bust!

Have a terrific day!

The card - the background panel is embossed (SU), then die cut (Penny Black),  and then attached to a colored piece of card stock.  Small panel is die cut (SU), and popped up.  I just added a printed piece, some twine  and a sentiment!  Easy peasy!

I think I must need a day of R & R.  Don't seem to be very motivated to do anything today. Hmmmm....gotta have one of those kind of days once in awhile I guess!  (Hudson and I did have a great day yesterday driving up to Grand Mesa!)  

Have a great day!

The card - die cut panel, a bit of grunge stamped on the background, a die cut flower (popped up) and a punched butterfly (popped up.  An added sentiment and a bow of twine.  Easy peasy!

'Grandma time' today.  I think we're going to take a drive up to Grand Mesa to see some color and take some pictures!  That's the plan anyway - although my plans don't always work out lol!    However, yesterday I did get the lawn mowed, some of the yard work done and still did do a bit of stamping and then some weaving!  It was a productive day!  

Have a terrific day!  

Another photo day - Hudson and I finally got to meet the newest member of the family - Ethan James.   Hudson wasn't too sure about the whole baby thing for awhile, but by the time I left he was 'checking on him' frequently in the bassinet and then helping Daddy change a dirty diaper.  

I need to get the lawn mowed today and a bit of other yard work done.  After that I'm hoping to get some stamping done ...or take a nap, whichever appeals at the time!

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - a brand new grandson!  (no name yet)  Hudson and I are just hanging out waiting for a call saying they're on their way home!  We are anxious to meet this little guy!

The card - same set, different layout.  background is embossed with brick (Tim Holtz)  Smaller panel is die cut (SU)  I stamped the leaf twice directly on the panel and then stamped it again in a different color separately and die cut it and then popped it up.  Two smaller piece are die cut.  Sentiment is stamped on a die cut piece. and popped up.  

Running a little late, but great news today - we have a new baby!!!!  A healthy baby boy, born at 3 something am......Dad is exhausted, Mom is doing fine 😅😅😅.  Hudson and I won't get to see him until tomorrow  😞  (darn Covid stuff)  Gotta say, 2020 isn't all bad!!!!

Have a great day!

The card - another one from my new set.  The frame in the background was die cut and popped up.  The leaves, flowers and butterfly were stamped, die cut and then popped up.    I  used a center piece from another set for the center of the flower.

Bought a great rocking chair yesterday AND I ordered a new sofa.  However, after measuring and moving some stuff around I've decided to cancel the order for the safa....it's just too big for my tiny little living room.  Darn!  It was such an awesome sofa too!  Oh well.  The chair is great and is going to be just the thing to rock that baby in!  They're delivering it tomorrow - I'm excited!

Not much happening this morning - I'm being rather lazy.  But I'm looking forward to an afternoon of knitting with friends!  

Have a great day!

The card - a new stamp set to play with (SU)  The smaller panel is die cut.  Leaves and flowers are stamped and then die cut and popped up.  Sentiment is also popped up.  

I was pretty darn productive yesterday - the lawn is mowed, the house is clean, the garage is straightened up and the laundry is done!  Woo hoo!  Today I am going shopping for a rocking chair!  Have to have a rocking chair when baby is here and I got rid of all 3 of mine!  So, it's going to be a shopping day (well, ok, shopping morning - we are are kind of limited in  furniture stores :(  Looking forward to an evening of stitching with friends!

Have a great day!

The card - Panels and frame are die cut (SU)  The leaves are punched out.  The flower was made by first embossing a larger piece of card stock and then I punched the flower (2 lg, 1 small) out of the embossed piece.  I sponged a bit of darker color in the center of the petals and then popped each layer up.  The center of the flower was made by embossing a piece of dark brown with dots and then I punched a circle from that.

Time to clean the house and mow the lawn....maybe!  Not very motivated this morning, but hopefully I can talk myself into it!  

Have a great day!
