The card - background piece is embossed.  Smaller panel is die cut with a bit of grunge stamped lightly in the background.  Flowers and leaves are die cut and colored by sponging.  Add a die cut sentiment and some silver twine.

No big plans for today.  Need to get myself organized for a Thirty-One Party that I'm doing for a friend tonight.  It's been awhile so I need to get myself in the groove!

Have a wonderful day!

Photo Sunday -  Hudson and I played a LOT of games this last week.  Sorry was a favorite of mine when I was a kid, now it's one of Hudson's favorites!    Ethan loves his chocolate treats!    It was a great spring break week!




Today - I think I'm due for a bit of r & r.  Reading and napping are definitely on the agenda!  Maybe a trip to the grocery store.  We'll see!

Have a great day!

The card - another super easy one.  Patterned paper, ribbon and a sentiment.  

Last day of Spring Break.  I have so enjoyed this week with Hudson.  We don't get get much one on one time these days, so this week has been pretty special.  Today we're planning on some more outdoor time - another trip to a different part of the river front trail and maybe lunch at Freddies. 

Have a great day!

The card - another super easy one.  I sponged a bit of color on the background panel.  Added a few splotches, a die cut piece for the sentiment and then a die cut floral piece.  

More 'Grandma time' with Hudson today.  It's supposed to be another nice day so our plan is to spend some time strolling along the river front trail.  

Have a terrific day!

The card - I spent most of the day on Saturday playing with this stamp!  It was fun AND productive!   I stamped the image with dark green on a lighter green cardstock.  Then I colored just the flowers with white using white craft ink and a blender brush.  That's it.  Easy Peasy!

'Grandma time' with both boys today.  It's Ethan's regular day but Hudson will be spending the week here because there's no school - it's Spring Break!  

Have a wonderful day!

Photo Sunday - can't beat good ol' cardboard for some fun playtime!

Catch up day.  Time to do a little cleaning.  Not sure why, but it hasn't been done for a while.  The boys will be here tomorrow and Hudson for the rest of the week, so it's probably a lost cause, but it will be good for today!

Have a great day!

The card - background is embossed.  Flower panel is die cut and then I colored the flowers and leaves with a sponge brush.  I stamped the sentiment on the background before I embossed!  Add a bit of bling and a ribbon bow.

No big plans today, but I do have some errands to do this morning.  After that I hope it's warm enough in the garage to do a bit of straightening up - it's getting a bit too messy!  

Have a great day!

Have a terrific day!
