The card - I die cut an oval from the center of a panel and then embossed it.  I stamped some 'stripes' with a grunge stamp on the front of the card and then popped up the panel over the top.  Added some flowers and a couple of leaves and a sentiment.  

'Grandma time' today, Friday night crafting tonight.  All is good!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - the sentiment stamp is from Papertrey Ink.  I stamped and then embossed it with white and then stamped the background over it.  I used a grunge stamp and spritzed it with water before stamping to get more of a watercolor look.

Had a great group of ladies here last night for a Thirty-One get together.  Lots of laughter - it was fun!  Now this morning I need to get the house straightened up and then I will be off for an afternoon of stitching at Inspirations.  Then a friend is coming over tonight for some more stitching - yay!  I should get lots accomplished today!

Enjoy your day!

Lots of chores to get done today and  then I have a Thirty-One party here tonight!  Hope everyone is in the mood for a new bag 😉

Have a terrific day!

The card - love these tulips from Papertrey Ink.  They are fun to play with - I'm thinking Spring these days!

Chores today and class tonight.  Nothing very exciting! 

Thank you all for your lovely comments yesterday!  All in all, yesterday was a good day!  Having Hudson is always a bright spot and I had fun at dinner with my friend.  Tracy would have approved!

Have a great day!

'Grandma time' today.  Going out to dinner with a friend tonight.   It's all good!

For tonilea - aww...thank you so much for the comment yesterday!  I am glad I can be an inspiration to you - how sweet you are!  A little explanation for you - Grand  Junction is in the western part of Colorado, very close to the Utah border.  I love it!  And, yes I always look forward to having my Grandson - I'm probably a bit more attached because he was born just a few months after my daughter passed away suddenly.  He has been my life-line the past two years.  (well, along with his Dad, my son)  Life is precious and I try to make the most of it 😊  Today would have been my daughter's 43rd birthday.  I miss her a lot!

Project Sunday - another winter project.  This one is also waiting for inspiration on finishing - frame, wall hanging, etc.  

Had an extra day of 'Grandma time' yesterday, so had a fun day instead of getting any work done - haha - works for me!  Now, today, I really should try to get something accomplished!  We'll see how ambitious I am!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - a new embossing folder on the background (from Cuttlebug) and the tulip is a new set I just got from Papertrey Ink.  A simple enough card, but I do like it!  (that background is kraft, looks darker in the scan!)

A pretty easy day today - have a few errands to do and then get ready for class tonight.  I have an out of town 31 Party tomorrow, so I do need to get my stuff  organized for that!

Have a great day!

The card - had some fun with this one.  Grunge stamps using a varity of colors.  The sentiment came from Altenew.

Class this morning and I still need to get some of the mess cleaned up from last night's birthday dinner.  (Just didn't have the energy left to deal with it last night!)  Hopefully I can use my free afternoon and evening to get some stuff done!  (besides taking a nap!)

Have a great day!

The card - triangles are stamped (SU), cut out and popped up.    A sentiment plus a little bling - easy!

'Grandma time' today - Hudson turns 2 today.  I cannot believe it has been 2 years - have loved every minute!  Not sure what the plan is for the day, but family dinner tonight and I still have to make the cake & icecream - I better get to it!

Have a wonderful day!

Project Sunday - finished this piece a couple weeks ago.  I think I want to put it in a frame so I have to look for one the right size.  (my rule is to buy the frame first - duh....forgot!)

Off for an afternoon of stitching at our Black Sheep group today.  Haven't done much stitching this week so it will be good!

Have a wonderful day!
