The card - background is a script background stamp that I inked using a sponge so it would be a little more 'grunge' effect.  The leaf stems are die cuts (Tim Holtz) and the sentiment is stamped, punched out and popped up.

No plans or commitments for today.  Hmmm....I have absolutely no idea what I'm going to do.  Maybe I will be productive - or not! 

Have a great day!

The card - (not a good scan, sorry!)  I used a sponge to ink a script background stamp so I could make it a little more'grunge' looking, instead of just solid.  The leaves are die cut from patterned paper.  

Chores this morning, stitching at Laura's Black Sheep Studio this afternoon.

Have a terrific day!

The card - the blocks are a grunge stamp.  The flower (Tim Holtz) is stamped directly on the blocks.   Easy peasy.

oh my, a free day!  Not sure if I'm going to stamp or get some projects ready to stitch.  Or maybe  a bit of both!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - I'm not usually much for green flowers, but somehow this one sort of appealed to me.  Just some grunge in the background, with some added washi tape strips.  The flower is stamped 3 times, (2 lg, 1 sm), punched out then layered.  Pretty easy!

Not a lot going on today!  A couple of errands this morning and then class tonight.  I really should try to get something accomplished in between - hmmmm.....we'll see!

Have a terrific day!

The card - grunge background.  The flower (SU) is stamped with balck, colored with copics, cut out and popped up.  The leaves are punched out.  The center small panel is die cut (SU) and popped up.
(The grunge background is actually a little more subtle, it just showed up darker in the scan.)

Class this morning and then????   Not sure what I'll do with the rest of the day!

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are all SU.  There is a background  that is hard to see - I used a square clear block, inked it with kraft and then stamped it on the background.  Everything else is stamped with cajun (except for the sentiment).  I stamped the leaf twice without reinking so one would be lighter.

'Grandma time' today.  Stitching with friends tonight. 

Have a great day!

The card - printed paper, and a sentiment.  Leaf is punched out, scrunched up and sponged.  Easy!

Not sure what the plan is for today.  After 3 years of having Hudson on Friday, I'm having a hard time getting used to having Friday free since he started pre-school.  There's plenty to do, just need to get motivated.  Hopefully I can manage to get something accomplished today. 

Have a terrific day!
