The card - just a simple black and white.
The trees (from SU) were stamped on the small panel before I embossed it.  The small panel is popped up.  


An appropriate card today since we got our first snow yesterday. They got a lot in the mountains which is a good thing, but the stuff down here is mostly gone already.  But it's cold - brrr!    But, I'm off this morning to meet Judy S for breakfast and then we're going to check out a couple of new places we heard about.   Should be a fun day!

Have a great day!

The card - just a simple fall one using a punched, crumpled and sponged leaf, some ribbon and string and a sentiment.  

Snow!  hmmmm....I guess it's that time of year. My goal today is to finish putting up the Christmas decorations and get the mess cleaned up.

Have a terrific day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  The small panel is popped up and I added a bit of bling.  An easy layout!

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend.  We had a lovely trip, the weather was perfect, lots of sunshine and clear roads - always a good thing!  We came home on Saturday, so I spent yesterday working at getting the Christmas decorations up - still working on it!  Not sure how much I'll get done today with Hudson around, but I can finish up tomorrow if need be.  So much to get done in the next couple of weeks!

Enjoy your day!

Have a safe and 
Happy Thanksgiving!


We're off this morning to drive to Denver.  We'll be spending the holiday with my daughter-in-law's family.  

I'm not taking my computer with me, so I will taking a short 'blog vacation' for just a couple of days.  I will be back on Monday!

Enjoy your weekend!

The card - an old embossing folder (it has butterflies under the leaves) and a variety of punched leaves.  Add a sentiment (from Papertrey) and all is good!  

(yesterdays card colors are lost lagoon & old olive)

Chores today.  Want to get the house cleaned up and must get the laundry done and my suitcase packed.  We are going to Denver to spend the Thanksgiving holiday with my daughter-in-laws family.

Have a great day!

The card - background grunge is from SU.  Sentiment is from Papertrey Ink and leaf is an EK Success punch.  I punched the leave from some Tim Holtz paper, wadded it up and then sponged it.  I added a string bow and popped it up.

Off to Hi Fashion this morning for a few hours of stitching.  It sure seems like I've been going to a lot of stitching days lately and that should mean that I'm getting a lot of projects done - hmmm....not so much.  Maybe I'm talking more than stitching?

Have a wonderful day!

'Grandma time' today.  No other plans, although it wouldn't hurt if I got a couple of chores done during nap time!

Have a terrific day!

The card - a simple birthday card.  Although it looks kind of gray in the picture, I sponged some light blue in the center of the background panel.  The lg balloon is popped up.  (and I didn't notice that the sentiment looks really crooked - yikes!)

Lots of chores to get done today.  It looks like it's going to be the last nice weather day for a while so I really want to get my yard cleaned up this afternoon!

Have a terrific day!

The card - leaves are from Hero Arts.  The leaves are stamped with a variety of colors directly on the top panel.  I just added some bling, a sentiment and some twine.  Easy!

Off for some stitching at Hi Fashion today.  Hopefully I'll still have some energy left when I get home and I can get some stamping done!

Have a wonderful day!
