The card - The circle is a die cut (SU).  The leaves are stamped, die cut and popped up.  The flower is made by punching out 3 flowers, sponging them in the center and then layering them together.  

Time to get card class kits together.  That's my job for the day.  Looking forward to an evening of stitching with friends.

Have a really great day!

Photo Sunday - and even more fall goodness

Aw,  a day to relax.  The company that is staying at my house is leaving today.  I will have Hudson this afternoon and Tony is still here but staying at Jeff's.  I'm cooking dinner tonight, but most everything is already done.  So, yeah, just a day to relax.  The Memorial Service was nice, the wedding was great fun and even though it was a pretty emotional day it was all good!  

Enjoy your day!

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!
