The card - and yet another slimline card.  The background panel is die cut.  A smaller panel is cut from patterned paper.  Flowers are die cut.  Easy peasy!

Chores today, a couple of errands and hopefully I can finish up the card class kits.  

Have a great day!

Photo Sunday 

No big plans for today.  I'm planning to get my class kits put together, and I'm hoping it gets warm enough and dry enough that I can finally get the lawn mowed.  That's about it.

Have a great day!

Saturday quote......   (I would probably say it's ONE of the most important, not necessarily  the most important!)  

Hudson wanted a 'Daddy day' so I get some extra 'Grandma time' with Ethan today!    That's all.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - another slimline card .  The background panel is die cut.  The top layer is just a piece of patterned paper cut into three equal parts and layered on the panel.  Sentiment piece is die cut  (and it must have slipped because it's supposed to be straight :)

'Grandma time' with Ethan today.  Friday night crafting tonight!

Have a great day!

The card - background is embossed.  Strips at bottom are patterned paper.  Flower and leaves are stamped, die cut and popped up.  

Time to clean up the stamping mess from the last two days.  But, gotta say, it was a fairly productive two days - yay!  I've decided to start my card classes again - all but one have gotten their vaccine so I think we're good to go!  I'm excited to see everyone after all this time!   So now I need to get my act together and figure out the class stuff!

Enjoy your day!

The card - leaves are stamped along the top and bottom of the panel.  Matted strip is added to the center with stamped sentiment.  

I was being wimpy yesterday and put off the yard work because it wasn't warm enough for me!  Now I'll have to wait for it to dry out from last night's rain and the wind to stop blowing.  Silly me.  Oh well, I got some stamping done so it's ok.  The mess is still there so I guess I'll just do some more stamping today :)

Have a great day!

The card - playing with some slimline cards for a change.    The back panel is die cut .  I added squares of matted patterned paper.  The butterflies are die cut from patterned paper and popped up on the squares.  

Time to get the lawn mower out and clean up the yard a bit.  That's my plan for today!  

Have a wonderful day!

Saturday quote:   Yep, that's the way it goes!   

The boys ended up with a sleepover last night.  We had a fun dinner out and lots of laughs before bed time!  Love those sleepovers!  Today we're off to a 5 year olds birthday party at a park.    (Jeff is in Las Vegas playing golf and Sara is working - means extra Grandma time for me - yay!)  A fun day!  

Have a great day!

The card - background is embossed - I sponged the inside of the embossing folder to add a bit of color.  The butterflies are die cut.  The black part of the brick background is die cut on the embossed panel and then a piece of black is added behind the panel.  

After two very unproductive days I am not leaving this house until I get some cleaning done!    Nose to the grindstone today - lol!  (Hmmm....sounds good anyway!)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - background panel is embossed.  Frame is die cut with a white panel die cut and added to the inside.  Flowers are stamped directly on the die cut panel.  

I didn't get much accomplished yesterday - I kept getting side tracked and then the day was gone.  Par for the course - lol!  Maybe today will be more productive - one can only hope 😅.

Have a great day!

The card - just some fun patterned paper, some added ribbon and a sentiment.  Easy Peasy!

It's supposed to get up in the 80's this weekend - wow!  I can hardly wait!  But I guess that means I need to put the sweatshirts away and get the t-shirts and flip flops out!  Woo hoo!  

Have a wonderful day!
