The card - flower is a new die cut (Pinkfresh)I just got.  I matted the die cut on a piec of patterned paper and then popped it up on the embossed background.  The celebrate is also a die cut.

Finished  cleaning out the utility room yesterday...now I just have to figure out what to do with the stuff I took out of there.  Hmmm......I really need to have a huge yard sale.......

Have a great day!

The card - background is patterned paper.  I stamped a bit of grunge on the background before adding the leaves and flower (SU).  The flower is stamped twice, cut one smaller and then layer them.  Both layers are popped up.  A little addee bling and some twine.

Hudson is getting some family time with his Mom and Dad today, so no 'Grandma time' for me today.  I'm trying to use the time this weekend to get some much needed chores done.  The lawn is mowed, I cleaned up and sorted all my materal yesterday and today I'm going to try and get my utility room cleaned up,  The sorting and putting away of the winter clothes got sidetracked when I needd some of them this past week! 

Hope you all are enjoying your holiday weekend!

The card - background is patterned paper.  The flower is from (SU).  I stamped it twice, cut each out, one smaller than the other and then layered the smaller one on top.  I stamped the leaves on the background before attaching the flower.  

I think another stamping day is called for.  That's my goal anyway. 

Have a great day!

Had a great little get-away!  Too much shopping (at least according to my checkbook), but what fun! (and I have a lot of new goodies, wool and stamps, to play with!)    Sherry is the hostess-with-the mostess!  It was wonderful.
