The card - the tree is from SU. I stamped some grunge in the background of a larger piece of white card stock, then stamped the tree. I punched out the squares , matted them with green and popped them up.
Off to Palisade this morning to help a friend - she's moving her shop to a new location and I offered to help paint, etc.
Have a terrific day!

The card- flower is from SU - sentiment is from Papertrey Ink. The white strip is on top of the striped black piece and is popped up.
'Grandma time' today. Sherry is leaving to go home - boohoo! It's been a super marvelous weekend - and actually very productive for me -I got quite a lot done - yay! It will be way to quiet around here for a few days. Tonight Deb and I are going to check out a knitting group at The Craft Studio downtown. Should be fun!
Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - winter on the Colorado National Monument
We're having way too much fun.....no,not too much, just the right amount!!! Shopping and stitching is the name of the game! We celebrated Christmas last night - wow - these girls are the best....what awesome gifts! This morning we're all doing a few errands and then meeting up again this afternoon for more crafting time! I love these weekends!
Have a great day!

The card - the background is from SU. I inked it with markers and then spritzed it with water before stamping. The trees are from Tim Holtz and are stamped in black on top of the background.
'Grandma time' today - yay! (trading days with the babysitter this week) It's also the day our friend Sherry is arriving to spend the weekend crafting with us! Another Yay! Life is Good!
Have a wonderful day!

The card - my favorite card from December. I love snowmen and even though this is a really old stamp I still use it every winter!
Off to Hi Fashion this morning for a few hours of stitching. I've gotten several things put together so have plenty to work on in the coming days - yay! After stitching I will need to come home and get ready for class tonight.
Have a wonderful day.

Project Sunday - another of the free patterns we get each month at Black Sheep Sunday. This mat is for September.
I'm working on getting some stitching projects together so I have something to work on in the coming week. It always takes longer than I think, but I did get a couple cut out and put together and ready to stitch yesterday. Maybe I can finish that up today and move on to some stamping :)
Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - Hudson at 10 months - he's standing on his own and taking steps - he'll be walking all over before long!
Well, the weekend plans got changed. Our friend Sherry isn't coming over until next weekend, so I've ended up with a free weekend and no plans. I'm thinking maybe I should get some stamping done!
Have a great day!

The card - my favorite card from August (I think it's the colors on this one :)
Catch up time - our friend Sherry is coming for a visit this weekend and we're going to be celebrating Christmas and Deb & Emily's birthdays. Guess who hasn't finished gifts? Yep, I'm way behind. Need to work on that today - I'm running out of time. Have to get ready for class tonight too.
Have a great day!

Chores to do today - trying to get a door painted to hang up for the spare room.
Movie review - went to see 'Hidden Figures' yesterday - great movie! For local people - if you haven't been to the new theater you need to go - the recliner chairs are awesome!

The card - a pretty flower one from April....I do love these flowers from Altenew....I think I need to get these back out and do some more!
Tonight is our Shoebox Club and we're celebrating a couple of birthdays tonight....so, I don't have to worry about cards, but I do need to get my house in order and cook dinner! It will be a fun evening!
Have a great day!

The card - one of my favorites from March (I did a lot of flower cards that I really liked in March :)
Lots of chores I want to get done today. I can't believe the Christmas stuff is still scattered all over the garage. I'm hoping I can brave the cold out there and finally get it all put away!
Have a terrific day!

The card - I always like black and white with a bit of color. This is my favorite card from February.
Wow - it's a mess outside. I'm glad we postponed this morning's class. No sense in driving if you don't have to. There's not much traffic, but what cars go by I can hear the ice crunching under their tires. Yuk! Stay safe people!
I'm hoping to get caught up on a few things since I'm not leaving the house and I have some unexpected free time today.
Have a great day!

The card - a couple years ago I posted some of my favorite cards that I had done throughout the year. Since I haven't had time to get much stamping done, that's what I'm going to do for the next few days. This card was one of my favorites from January. I copied it from a calendar topper that my friend Judy S did.
"Grandma time' today. I'm hoping I can get some class stuff ready, if not during the day at least this evening.
Have a great day!

The card - sorry, couldn't find a name on this one so I don't know who made it.... This should be the last of the cards from my friend Emily's swap. All of these cards the last two weeks have been from Stampin Up demonstrators, so all the products used are from Stampin Up!
More snow...yuk! And it's only 4 degrees out there - even more yuk! But I need to go out and shovel before Hudson gets here so.....
Looking forward to 'Grandma time' today and then Friday night crafting! (both nice, warm indoor things!)
Have a great day!

Shoveling snow was NOT on my list of thing to do today. But, it looks like that's what I'll be doing sometime soon - although it's still snowing, so I guess it will wait for a while.
Looking forward to an afternoon of stitching at our Wool Gatherer's group this afternoon.
Have a terrific day!

I hope everyone had a great holiday. I couldn't have asked for a better one - 2017 is off to a terrific start! But, now it's back to daily life and I have a lot I want to get done this week. But, today is a 'Grandma day' so I will just enjoy the time with Hudson and hopefully make a plan for getting things done the rest of the week!
Have a terrific day!
