The card - stamped flower is from SU.
The background square is done by inking up a clear block and using it just like a stamp.  The flower is then stamped in black on top.  The matted square is popped up on top of the embossed panel.


Finishing up chores and errands today.  Looking forward to dinner out with a friend and then another GJ Rockies baseball game tonight!

Have a great day.

The card - more swirly stuff from SU.  Lots of fun things to do with this stamp set and dies!

My plan for the day is try and get some chores done that I had planned on getting done last week - hmmmm.....I guess I got side-tracked and they never quite got finished.  Hopefully I can stay focused today :)   Looking forward to an evening with friends at the baseball game (GJ Rockies).

Have a great day!


(I don't know the name of the embossing folder I used yesterday....it was one I got at Hobby Lobby quite a while back)

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - a while back I discovered this 'scrubby' yarn so I've been making 'scrubby dishcloths'.  They are fast and easy and I work on them when I don't want to have to think about counting stitches or what not!

Have to finish up some cards today - that's about it for my plan for the day.

Have a great day!

Catch-up day.  Need to get some yard work done and several other chores that I've put off.  Here's to hoping I can work up the energy to get some of them done!

Have a great day!

Cooking dinner for a friend's birthday tonight - that means I need to get busy!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  The black and white strip is washi tape and is actually attached to the edge of the inside of the card.  I cut off about a 1/2" of the front of the card so the strip shows.

Errands, including the grocery store and then maybe some yard work.   (that's a big maybe!)

Have a terrific day!

Project Sunday - oops, no finished project this week (too many different projects going at once I guess - I haven't finished anything this week!)  So, here's a cute baby picture instead - this is Hudson at 5 months.  The time is going by so fast!

Off to breakfast this morning and then we're going to go do some pottery.  A nice, relaxing, fun day!

Have a great day!

Off to watch a friend's son play a little football this morning and then ??? - who knows - don't have a plan for the rest of the day.  Guess I'll see what I come up with.   (a nap is a good possibility)

Have a great day!

The card - the stamps and die cut are from SU.  I borrowed this set from my friend Emily and I am having a lot of fun playing with it.  So many things you can do with it   (it's called Swirly Bird)

Going to try and get a little more stamping done today before I have to clean things up for class tonight.  Hoping I can be productive!

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - another one of the 'Block of the Month' - this is the one for August.

And I'm off for another day of stitching....time for Black Sheep Sunday.   It seems like I've been going to a lot of stitching things lately - you'd think I'd be getting lots done....not so much.  But, I'm having fun, so that works for me!

Have a wonderful day!

Well, I've got to decide whether to clean house, stamp or go do some errands.  Hmmm.....maybe I better start with cleaning the house since it's been way too long!!

Have a great day!

The card - swirly die cuts are from SU.  Strips in background are washi tape.  A little grunge and a sentiment and it makes a pretty cool but easy card.

Have a great day!
