The card - sometimes I just like to use lots of layers :)  Stamped images are from SU.

Have a wonderful day.

The card - flowers are from SU.  I used a piece of  wood-grain patterned paper for the background and stamped directly on that.

More'Grandma time' this week.  I do have to say I worked really hard all weekend and got a lot of things on my 'to do list' done! - Yay!  There's still some stuff left to do, but there's always next week!

Have a wonderful day!

Whew....having Hudson for an entire week has been awesome, but I haven't gotten much done.  But, that's ok.  I have a whole list and today and tomorrow to get everything done.  I guess I better get busy!

Have a terrific day!

More 'Grandma time' today.  I think we're going to the library for story time today. 

Have a wonderful day!

The card - one more Christmas card.  This is done with a set from Hero Arts.  This set is going to be fun to play with.  

'Grandma time' today.  We're meeting a friend for lunch so that will take up part of our day.  I didn't get any stamping done last night, so hoping I can do that tonight!

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from W Plus 9.  It's a bit early for me to do Christmas, but I this is all I have done!  It's time to get some stamping done!  I do love this wreath set and you will be seeing lots more of it!

More 'Grandma time' today.  In fact there will be lots of Grandma time for the next two weeks - the baby sitter is on vacation.  Today we're meeting a friend for breakfast.  And hopefully, tonight  I will have some energy left to get some stamping done!!!

Have a terrific day!

The card - my favorite background (Tim Holtz brick), some scrunched up punched leaves, a sentiment and a bit of bling.

I actually got some chores done over the weekend and was able to mark a couple of things off my list - not as many as I would've liked, but at this point any is better than none!  Today is 'Grandma time', so no chores today.  Dinner out tonight with a friend.  It's going to be a good day!

Have a great day!

The card - some more of that yummy paper with the gold foil.  It made a nice background for a gold leaf and a matching color of cardstock leaf.

'Grandma time' today.....Friday night crafting tonight.  Another fun day!

Have a great day!

The card - love this background - I embossed the panel and then took the white ink pad and just lightly wiped it across the panel to add some white to the raised image.  Added a scrunched up, sponged leaf and a bit of twine.

Meeting a new friend for coffee (well, iced tea for me) this morning and then I need to figure out a calendar topper before tonight's Shoebox Club. 

Have a great day!

The card - and more leaves!  (scrunched up and sponged)  I embossed the background in one big piece and then cut it into the strips.  I kind of wish I had popped them up on the front - it would have given them a bit more dimension.

I had an extra day of 'Grandma time' yesterday - the babysitter was sick.  Now I'm a little behind in my plan for the week - but oh, who cares.  Now today I'm off to Montrose to get started in a knitting class.  Another last minute thing, but I'm looking forward to it! 

Have a terrific day!

The card - I love this paper with the gold foil dots...yummy!  A simple card just using another scrunched up, sponged leaf.  

'Grandma time' today.  Going to the Craft Studio this evening to spend a couple hours knitting.  Haven't been in quite a while, so it will be nice to see everyone.

Have a great day!

The card - some new flowers I picked up at a local shop.  (Seasons to Follow).  I sponged the opposite corners of the small panel before stamping the flowers.

'Grandma time' today.  That's it.

Have a great day!

The card - sorry, it looks a bit dark in the scan.  But I started with a base of basic grey, added some grunge and a piece stamped with a script stamp, then added a sentiment and a scrunched up leaf.  It would make a nice 'guy' card!

Chores to get done this morning and then an afternoon of stitching at our Wool Gatherer's Group at Hi Fashion.  Then I will pick up Hudson for an overnight stay.  Busy day!

Have a terrific day!

The card - super simple - a scrunched up, sponged, punched out leaf with an added sentiment, some printed paper and a little bling.

A whole list of stuff to do today - hopefully I can get more accomplished than I did yesterday!

Have a super day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  The leaves are punched out of patterned paper and srunched up.  The background flowers are stamped in black and the part on the yellow strip is stamped before embossing!

I'm hoping we're going to see some sunshine today!  A little tired of the rain and the gloomy days.  But, never the less, I have stuff to do and getting some class stuff done is at the top of the list.  I just need to focus today!

Have a great day!

The card - leaves are punched, scrunched and sponged.  I used an ink pad and just wiped it across the embossed background after it was embossed.
