Photo Sunday - Hudson's first trip to the ER.  Ouch!

 Yard work this morning and then???  No clue.  Have no plans.  I'll try to figure out something, but if not, maybe a book and a nap!  

Have a wonderful day!

Saturday Quote - LOL - happens quite frequently.  

Looking forward to some 'Grandma time' today with the boys.  We had a big day planned but Hudson had a bit of accident at school yesterday, ended up in the ER and had a few stitches.  Poor guy!  So, now no trampolines and no friend's birthday party :(    Not sure what we'll do instead.  

Have a wonderful day!

The card - background is patterned paper.  Scalloped piece across the bottom is a die cut.  Sentiment is heat embossed and die cut.  Pretty darn easy!

Back to the stamping table today.  I kept getting side tracked yesterday so didn't get as much done as I had  planned.  (Story of my life - LOL). 

Have a wonderful day!

The card - background is two pieces of card stock, the bottom one is embossed and the top one is covered with a piece of script printed vellum.  The flower is stamped on the small white piece and matted on each side with patterned paper.  

Didn't get much accomplished yesterday, but that's ok.  My plan today is to spend some time stamping and hopefully feel productive at the end of the day.  

Have a wonderful day!

The card - yep, it's peach season.  Colorado peaches are the best!    So, the card - background is patterned paper.  Smaller panel is die cut with a smaller piece of patterned paper in the center.  Peaches are stamped, die cut and popped up.  Added some ribbon and a sentiment.  

'Grandma time' with Ethan today.  That's all.  (I've been having kid withdrawals for the last week.  Goodness, it's been quiet around here!  Looking forward to today!!!)  

Have a great day!

So true......


First plan of the day is to run up to the Farmer's Market and replace my stash of peaches!  Then, I'm planning on stamping today.....(going to use some of those supplies - lol)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - used the same embossing folder as yesterday on this one.  I embossed the piece of cardstock and then took my white ink pad and just ran it lightly across the top. Added a sentiment and some ribbon.  Super easy!  

My plans for today keep changing so I'm not sure what I'm doing today.  Looking forward to getting together with friends Emily and Deb tonight though to work on calendar toppers.  

Have a wonderful day!

The card - another new embossing folder and die cut!  This is a fun one.  The die cut matches the embossing folder so it cuts out all the stems.  I embossed first and then die cut the images out, but I watched a video where the lady put the die inside the embossing folder and did both at the same time.  Anyway, however you choose to do it, it's a pretty fun one.  Lots of possibilities with this!  So, the background on this card is just embossed.  The circle on top is die die and then I embossed another sheet and die cut the images out and used just a few of them on top of the circle.  (die and folder are from SU)

Never did get the laundry done yesterday, so guess that should be my first item of business today!  Not much else going on til tonight when I have class.  Maybe a few errands!  We'll see.

Have a great day!

The card - background is embossed.  The larger octagon is die cut, stamped with a bit of grunge, matted and then I added a stamped, die cut flower.  The smaller octagons are punched out of patterned paper.  A strip of patterned paper at the bottom, some twine and a sentiment stamped, punched out and popped up.

A pretty free day today.  Need to do some laundry but that's about it for chores.  I have to have a calendar topper done by Friday so I guess I better try to get that figured out today!

Have a wonderful day!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - playing with some new leaves.  These leaves are from Tim Holtz and they cut and emboss all at the same time.  These I cut out of patterned paper and added a gold die cut sprig and some gold ribbon.  The left side is a SU die cut I sued for a border.

'Grandma time' today.  That's all.

Have a great day!

Photo Sunday -

Aw, can't believe how fast this boy is growing up!  He loved his first week of 1st Grade and was excited that his 'best buds' were in his class again!  

Time to finish up the class stuff for this coming week.  That's my biggest goal for the day!  

Have a great day!

The card - background is embossed.  Smaller panel is embossed and matted.  Stems and sentiment are stamped, die cut and popped up.  

I guess I should finish up some stuff I started yesterday.  I did get a bit of stamping done, but I kept getting sidetracked and didn't get as much done as I hoped.  But some is better than nothing, right?  Maybe I can stay focused today! 

Have a wonderful day!
