The card - just some patterned paper, a sentiment and some ribbon.  (this is one of those that actually looks better in real life!)  

A few chores this morning, and then a nice relaxing afternoon with the Needle Keepers.  I love Tuesday afternoons!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - background has a die cut pattern (hard to see in the photo).  Center strip is patterned paper.  Flowers are hand cut from patterned paper and popped up.  Sentiment piece is die cut.

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

Have a great day!

Photo Sunday - this is completed project that Karen brought to our Needle Keepers group on Tuesday.  She's been on quite a roll finishing projects lately!  Good for her!  And she does amazing work!

Not sure what my plan is today.  I never finished cleaning out and sorting all my paper from the other day so I'm thinking I should finish that project.   But, Hudson and I also took down all the winter decor yesterday, so I probably should replace it with something.  Looks a little bare in places!  We'll see - I wonder if I can manage to do both! Hahaha!

Have a wonderful day!

Saturday Quote.......

Not sure what we're doing today.  We stayed up a bit late last night - not moving very fast this morning.  We'll figure out something I'm sure!  

Have a wonderful day!

The card - background is patterned paper.  Flower image and sentiment are stamped directly on smaller panel.  Pretty darn easy.  

Looks like I need to shovel some snow this morning.  Brrr.....   But, then I can come back in and try to get some stamping done.   Looking forward to having the boys spend the night.  

Have a great day! 

The card - the leaves are stamped directly on the background panel.  The flowers are stamped, punched out and popped up.  Add a sentiment and a bit of bling.  

The best laid plans........hmmm.  Yesterday didn't turn out quite as expected.  Got a call from Sara asking if I could pick up Ethan - ended up having. to take him to the Dr.  Poor kid has pink eye - again!  I did get a little bit of stamping done before that, but he'll be here again today, so no more stamping for me!  That's ok - I don't mind days spent cuddling with a toddler curled up in my lap!!!  

Have a wonderful day!  

The card - background is stamped with a script stamp, a bit of grunge and some leaves.  I added some torn vellum and a sentiment.  The flower is die cut from patterned paper and colored with Stampin Blends.  The flower is popped up.

A stamping day - at least that's my plan.  Might even be able to do a couple of loads of laundry in between!   

Have a wonderful day!  

The card - patterned paper with a sentiment heat embossed in white.  So easy!

Time for a few household chores this morning.  A nice relaxing afternoon with the Needle Keepers and then class tonight.  A full day!

Have a great day!

The card - just some pretty patterned paper, a die cut sentiment piece, some ribbon and a bit of bling.  So easy!  (I'm making an effort to try and use up some of the over abundance of patterned paper I have piling up!)

It's a 'Grandma day' with Ethan, but a short one today.  No school for Hudson and Jeff & Sara both have the day off work.  But Ethan and I have Kindermusik so we're going to that and then their family is going sledding.  It will give me a chance to get my class stuff ready for tomorrow night!  All is good!

Have a wonderful day! 

Project Sunday -   another wooly sample finished for my friend Laura.

Looking forward to an entire day of stamping with my friend Karen.  I got totally sidetracked yesterday and didn't get any stamping done.  But I couldn't turn down an invitation from Hudson to come to his house and 'play'.  Then for some reason I decided I needed to clean and organize the filing cabinets of paper.  Still not finished with that, but I'm making progress.  I will have to get the mess cleaned up before Karen gets here so we have a place to stamp!  I'll have to shove it to the side and finish that job this coming week!

Have a wonderful day!

Saturday Quote.......I was temped when I was at the store yesterday, but I resisted!   (so proud of myself - lol)

I picked up new stuff from my Stampin Up demonstrator friend yesterday so guess where I'll be today!  Planning on spending the day playing in the stamp room!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - just some pretty paper with a die cut sentiment label and some ribbon.  Easy peasy!

Guess I'll have to brave the cold today and do a couple of errands.  I'm ready for spring :)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - background pieces are embossed.  The leaves in the background are stamped before the piece is embossed.  I stamped an extra set of leaves and cut some of them out and popped them up.  The flowers were stamped, punched out and popped up.

 Snowed in.  Well, not literally, but the roads are a mess so I have no plans to go anywhere today.  I'll just spend some time in the stamp room!  Yesterday I had a pleasant surprise - school was cancelled because of the snow so I ended up with some extra 'Grandma time' with Hudson.  We had a great day, baking cookies, doing art projects and just hanging out!  So glad I can have those unexpected days!    

Have a great day!  Stay warm!  

The card - top part of background is a background die cut.  Bottom of background is patterned paper.  Flowers and leaves are hand cut from patterned paper.  Add some ribbon and a sentiment.  So easy!  

Looks like I'm going to need to shovel snow at some point today.  Or maybe it will melt before I get to it :)  However, at this point it's still snowing so I think I'll just go spend some time in the stamp room!  

Have a wonderful day!

The card - background is embossed.  Smaller panel has patterned paper added to each side.  Hearts are punched our of patterned paper.  Small hearts are stamped.  Banner is stamped, die cut and popped up.

Project Sunday - we have such a talented group of ladies in our Needle Keepers group.  Almost everyone had a finished project to show this last week (except for me :)  I should have taken a picture of everyone's projects, but I got totally side-tracked.  But, this is Nancy's finished sheep with her seasonal blanket.  (there will be a blanket for each season!!)  So cool!

Not much happening today.  Being pretty lazy this week!  

Have a great day!

I have no idea what I'm doing today.  There are cupboards that need to be cleaned out and organized but I don't seem to be too enthused about that project.  Hmmmm.....maybe some stitching, knitting or stamping.  Or maybe a little of all three!  There's possibilities galore!

Have a wonderful day!

Saturday Quote.......the story of my life LOL

Doesn't feel like I've accomplished much all week!   No sense in starting today!  :)  I do have a short list of odds and ends I'd like to get done today.   Maybe I'll start with that :)

Have a terrific day!  

The card -   Background is patterned paper with a stamped sentiment and some ribbon. How easy is that!  (I'm trying to use up some of this paper that has accumulated in my drawer!! And there is a lot of it!)

Another day with no plans.  The boys did happen to pass along some germs (I thought it was just a one day sort of deal, but it has been with me all week! )   Sort of tired of feeling tired!  I had to cancel breakfast with a friend this morning to protect her because she's having surgery next week.  Certainly did not want to expose her to germs!  It will go away soon I hope, just not feeling very energetic.  I'm thinking stamping might be a good thing today! 

Have a wonderful day!    

The card - the background is patterned paper.  The two hearts in the back are stamped directly on the patterned paper.  The rest of the hearts are stamped, punched out and popped up.  The sentiment is stamped directly on the large red heart.

My plan today is to get the garage straightened up.  It tends to get piled with empty boxes, etc. and when I'm in a hurry I just kind of toss things out there.  I barely have a path to the car, so I think it's time to do a bit of cleaning up.  We'll see if it gets warm enough to venture out there today!  If not,  I'll try to get some stamping done.

Have a great day!  

The card - background is a die cut.  Smaller panels are both die cut.  Flowers are hand cut from patterned paper.  Sentiment is stamped on small panel.  So easy!

No big plans today.  Not sure that is a good thing.  No idea what I'm doing.  But,  I'm sure I can find something that needs to be done :)  If not, I'll just take an r & r day!   

Have a wonderful day!
