Aw, yesterday was great fun!  Now I guess I should pretend I'm going to be productive today.  Maybe.....it's early so there's always a possibility that will happen!

Have a wonderful day!

'Grandma time' with Hudson today.  That's all.

Springtime in the Rockies.......  Wow!  17"of snow in the last 2 days on Grand Mesa.  (45 minutes from here)  Glad for the moisture, glad it's up there and not down here in the valley!!!

Looking forward to a day of stamping with a friend!  Creative and productive - that's the goal for the day! 

Have a great day!

Saturday quote.......hahaha......and that's the truth!

Some extra 'Grandma time' today with both boys.  Hoping for some sunshine and warmer weather so we can spend some time outside!   I think it will be a wait and see kind of thing 😀

Have a wonderful day!

Awwww....the house is cleaned and the laundry is done.  Time to spend some quality 'Grandma time' with Ethan today.  A day of baby snuggles - sounds like the perfect kind of day to me!  Dinner and crafting with my friend tonight.  A perfect day all the way around!

Have a super great day!

The card - the background is embossed with added strips of paper on the left side.  The butterfly is die cut from patterned paper and popped up.  The label is die cut and tucked under the butterfly with an added sentiment and some bling.  Easy peasy!

I think it's time to clean the house - at least that's the plan.  If I can just convince myself to actually do it!  I'll give it my best shot :).  Looking forward to dinner and crafting with friends tonight!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - lots of patterned paper!  The middle section with the flowers is a piece of just black and white and I colored the background instead of the flowers.   Then I used matching card stock for the card and the borders.  

Got sidetracked yesterday and didn't get much done in the house.  But I did get lots of errands done - lol!  Ended up running all over town in the morning and by the time I got home I was definitely no longer motivated.  But, there's always today.  😂

Have a wonderful day!

The card - background is patterned paper (SU).  Ice cream scoops and cone ( SU) are stamped, punched out and popped up.   Smaller white panel and sentiment piece are die cut.  

I have some bare walls that need some attention.  They've been bare since I took the winter stuff down, so I think it's time to liven them up a little.  

Have a terrific day!

The card - The background is embossed.  The smaller panel is die cut.  The flower (Penny Black) is inked with markers and stamped directly on the die cut panel.  The sentiment is stamped on a die cut piece and popped up.

Photo Sunday - this is a photo that Hudson took last fall on Grand Mesa.  Anxious to take him out on another photo taking trip! 

Looking forward to a day with a friend - going to breakfast and then spending the day watching movies and crafting!  Woo hoo!

Have a great day!

Saturday quote.......gotta love Colorado weather - never boring that's for sure!

Have a great day!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - The background is a piece of patterned paper (SU)  that I sponged with some blue at the top and then added a bit of yellow.  The strip of yellow is a plain piece of cardstock.  The flowers are cut out of a piece of patterned paper (SU)  and colored with Stamp n Blends (SU).

I can only hope that I'm more productive today than I was yesterday.  My biggest accomplishment was cleaning out my sock drawer (took all of 5 minutes).  I did enjoy spending some time with my friend Ann, who fixed my knitting error for me!   Thank you Ann!   I do think I'll work on my socks at least for a bit today!  And I have a friend coming later for dinner and crafting, so I have that to look forward to!   It's all Good!

Have a great day! 

The card - fun with patterned  paper.  The only stamped image on this card is the sentiment.  The cone and ice cream scoops are punched out of patterned paper. and the strips are just cut with the trimmer.  So easy!  

My friend is coming to help with a knitting issue this morning.   Yep, I messed up again!  I'll never finish these socks at this rate - lol!  Good thing I have other projects I can work on in between! 

Have a great day! 

The card - background is embossed.  Strips of black cardstock are added to the background  with a piece of embossed kraft on top.  The flower and leaves (from Altenew) are stamped , die cut and popped up.  (These flowers and leaves are not colored, only stamped.  They are layered stamping that I did with my new Stamparatus. )

No big plans for the day.  A couple of errands and then ???    Who knows, although I am thinking about doing some stamping today.

Have a great day!   

The card - background is patterned paper.  The butterfly is stamped with black and then die cut from a piece of the same paper pattern paper as the left side of the background.    Small white square is die cut and then matted with black and then white.

Photo Sunday - the birthday boy!

Birthday parties are over (whew! - but it was all such fun!)  Today I am looking forward to a day of stamping with my friend Karen!  Hopefully I will be super productive!

Have a wonderful day!

So true........  I'm just glad we're not on the eastern side of the state today - they're expecting a ton of snow!

So far we've just gotten rain, but  Hudson's party today (with his friends from school) was supposed to be outside at a park near their house.  Plans had to be changed, now it will be at their house.  Oh well, it will be still be fun!  (this is his first 'kids' party so he's very excited!)

Have a wonderful day, wherever you are and whatever the weather is!

The card - the background is patterned paper.  The oval is die cut with a stamped sentiment.  The butterflies are die cut from patterned paper. and popped up.  How easy is that?  

Birthday celebrations today.  Hudson is 5 today.  Wow!  How the time flies.  It has become a tradition for him to spend the day with me on his birthday - this will probably be the last year for that since he will start Kindergarten this year!  So, we have a play day with a couple of friends planned - I am just hoping the weather cooperates!  Then tonight is family birthday dinner.  A busy day!  

Have a wonderful day!
