The card - tree stamp from Magenta, stamped in three different colors and matted on a panel made up of the same three colors.   Added some string and popped the panel up.

Catch up day.  Need to get the laundry done and go to the grocery store.  Looking forward to this evening  - Jeff and Sara are taking me out for a birthday dinner.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - background grunge and flowers are from SU.  Added some bling and a sentiment...easy peasy!

Had an easy trip home - no delays and smooth flights - yay!  Sure is hot here though - yikes!
Today is "Grandma time" - I can hardly wait!

Have a terrific day!

The card - an embossed brick background with some printed paper and a little added bling.  Super easy.

Got sidetracked yesterday and forgot to post so this Father's Day card is a little late....... sorry about that!  We had a marvelous day with my cousins - always love spending time with them.  Today is travel day - heading back home to Colorado and anxious to see my grandson after 10 days!  

Have a wonderful day!

Photo Saturday -  our last day in Bakersfield - going to miss these little munchkins!

We're on our way back to Huntington Beach today.   Looking forward to a get together with some relatives tonight.    Had a very relaxing and fun  birthday yesterday!  More fun to come!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - flowers, leaves and background flowers are from SU.  The brick embossing folder is from Tim Holtz.  The flowers are stamped, punched out and popped up. 

Off for a birthday breakfast....yum!   Today is our last day in Bakersfield - oh my, must make the most of the time with the boys - they are such fun!

Have a great day!

The card - watercolor background is from SU, stamped with kraft.   Tree is from Magenta, stamped with black.  White background piece is embossed with embossing folder from SU.

Off to the children's museum this morning, a stop at the icrecream parlor, home for naps and then out to dinner tonight.  More fun!

Have a great day!

The card - using more of the printed paper.  I tore the edges on the background piece and then sponged it a bit.  The small cutout pieces are popped up.  I also added some string and a bit of bling.

Celebrating Liam's 1/2 birthday today.  (he's 4 1/2 today!)   That means making cupcakes, a trip to Target to check out the lego aisle, dinner at McDonalds - just another fun-filled day!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - more printed paper.  I used an embossing folder for the background, added some flagged strips and then the matted piece. Easy!

We're off to the zoo this morning.  Having a wonderful time with the boys!

Have a terrific day!

The card - a little grunge in the background, a punched leaf and a sentiment on a punched oval.  Added a little twine and popped up the oval.

Another fun day coming up - not really sure of our exact plans, but the boys will keep us entertained I'm sure!

Have a wonderful day!

No finished projects this week.....just another cute baby photo!

We're in Bakersfield - we'll be here the rest of the week playing with a 4 year old and an almost 2 year old.  It's going to be great fun!

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - Jeff took some family selfies last week......love my son & his family!!!!

Off to Bakersfield this morning.  Not exactly a hot spot - well, actually I guess it is pretty 'hot' but it will be a fun week with my cousin's grandsons!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - a little grunge in the background (SU & Papertrey Ink) with a punched butterfly (Martha Stewart) an added sentiment and some bling.  Pretty darn easy!

Here in sunny California - which is not sunny at all. Doing the June gloom thing I guess.  It's not even all that warm! But, who cares!  We're off to meet Marleen's friends to go for a walk, then we're headed to the beach for lunch and shopping!

Have a great day!

The card - some fun grunge in different colors, plus a die cut (happy) and sentiment - all from Hero Arts.

And I'm off....to California!  Going to spend the next 10 days with my cousin in southern California.  We will be spending most of the time in Bakersfield having fun with her grandsons for a week.  But I'm sure there will be a little time for the beach too .....

Have a wonderful day!

The card - more printed paper - added some twine and some bling and an embossed background.  Too easy!

I guess I am totally losing it.  When I went to do this post I realized I completely forgot to do a post yesterday.  Good grief!  Sorry about that!  Lots of stuff on my mind, so I'm not surprised, but still.......    Leaving for California tomorrow, so have things to get done today.  And I have Hudson today, and class tonight, so chores are going to get worked on in between everything else.

Have a terrific day!

The card - a little grunge in the background,  some printed paper and a butterfly stamp/punch (from SU).  Easy!

Keeping Hudson today so not expecting to get a lot done.  I will work on a few things here and there while he is napping (if I don't get sucked into HGTV - ha!ha!)  I really do need to make the most of my time since I am leaving for California on Thursday and there are things I need to get done before I leave :)

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - finished another hat this week.  (sorry about the bad picture)  Same pattern as last one, just a different yarn - but I like the variegated look.

Got a start on the chores yesterday, but ran out of energy before I finished.  Need to get out and put some fertilizer on the lawn this morning and trim some bushes before it gets too hot!

Have a wonderful day!

Photo Saturday - another Hudson photo

Whew - have a ton of errands and chores to get done this weekend.  Baby time is much more fun, but I don't seem to get much done when he is around - which is very much ok.  But, there are things that need to be done so I guess I better get to it!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  I added some black twine to the small panel and then popped the panel up.

What a great beginning to my birthday month - wow!  My friend Celisa's husband made the main dish for dinner last night - oh so yummy.  And there was a great salad and fresh bread and yummy cupcakes for dessert.  And some awesome gifts - wow - it was an awesome night!  I have the best friends!

No plans for today except for Grandma time.  Looking forward to Friday night crafting.

Have a terrific day!

The card - I don't think this is one of my favorites, but it's a little different so we'll just go with it!  I stamped some grunge on the background of the small panel in different colors and then just stamped a flower outline over the top.  The sentiment and the grunge on the card background are also stamped with black.

Hudson and I are going to be out and about for a bit today.  Going to do a errand then off to visit my cousin who hasn't seen Hudson yet.  And....it's June.....and that means it's my birthday month!  And tonight is the first birthday celebration - yay!  Tonight is our Shoebox Club and we're celebrating my birthday - fun stuff!

Have a great day!

The card - some more printed paper - this stuff is just so cool, especially for masculine cards.  It comes from a company called Pion Design and I got it locally at Seasons to Follow.

OMG I'm becoming addicted to daytime TV - especially HGTV.  Oh no!  I'm not much of a tv watcher to begin with, but I NEVER watch daytime tv.  I found myself watching Fixer Upper while I gave Hudson a bottle, then I just sat and watched it the rest of the day......now that is not good!

Have a great day!
