Project Sunday - the latest 'block of the month'.  

So much to do I don't know where to start.  I better make a plan or I will end up wasting the entire day!

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - Hudson at 8 months - the time is going by so fast!

The card - super easy - a die cut, smushed up leaf, with some grunge in the background.  The top panel and the leaf are popped up.

'Grandma time' today, Friday night crafting tonight.  Sounds good to me!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - flowers are from SU, sentiment is from Papertrey.  The flowers are stamped on the panel of patterned paper and then I added some 'lace' made with a border punch.  

Aww...an extra 'Grandma day' today.  I might be able to finish up the laundry if he takes a nice long nap!

Have a great day!

The card - a simple birthday card.  Although it looks kind of gray in the picture, I sponged some light blue in the center of the background panel.  The lg balloon is popped up.  (and I didn't notice that the sentiment looks really crooked - yikes!)

Lots of chores to get done today.  It looks like it's going to be the last nice weather day for a while so I really want to get my yard cleaned up this afternoon!

Have a terrific day!

The card - leaves are from Hero Arts.  The leaves are stamped with a variety of colors directly on the top panel.  I just added some bling, a sentiment and some twine.  Easy!

Off for some stitching at Hi Fashion today.  Hopefully I'll still have some energy left when I get home and I can get some stamping done!

Have a wonderful day!


(note:  to the person who asked yesterday....GJ is Grand Junction, Colorado.  We're on the far west side of Colorado near the Utah border)

The card - here's another one where I used a piece of printed paper for the background and just added just twine and a sentiment.  

'Grandma time' today.  No other plans for the day.

Enjoy your day!

'Grandma time' today.  Tonight is Friday night crafting, but we're also celebrating our friend Eileen's birthday - so, I'm cooking dinner and we'll be celebrating tonight!

Have a great day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  I punched out the circle, sponged it with orange and some green and then stamped the trees.  The circle is popped up on the panel.

Chores this morning, stitching at our Wool Gatherer's Group this afternoon and then our Shoebox Club tonight.  A busy day!

Enjoy your day!

The card - a super simple one using some fun patterned paper and adding a little bling and some ribbon.

Lots of things I need to get done today - here's hoping I can stay motivated!  And then I need to get ready for class tonight!

Have a great day!

The card - leaves and sentiment are from SU.  The leaves are stamped in a variety of colors directly on the white panel.  The gold panel was added on top and then the string was added.

Class this morning and then I need to do a couple of errands.  Not very exciting, but hopefully productive!

Have a great day!

(the embossing folder I used yesterday is from Hobby Lobby - I have no idea what the name of it is!)

Looking forward to a nice day of 'Grandma time'.

Photo Saturday - the cutest little cow in town!

So much to do....and I don't know where to start.  I need to make a plan and get myself organized!  I better work on that today!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - a simple layout....flower is from SU, stamped with black and colored with copics.

'Grandma time' today and Friday night crafting tonight.  The best kind of day!  

Just thought I'd pass on a little info - if you are local there is a new place in town to check out.  It's called The Craft Studio.  They offer a variety of classes in knitting, beading, stitching and stamping and they have work time also.  Check it out - here is a link to their web site.  http://thecraftstudiogj.com/

Have a great day!

The card - a super easy one that I did for our Shoebox Club a while back.  

Focus! Focus! Focus!  I need somebody to tie me to my chair so I can't get up and go anywhere or get sidetracked by the thought of something else!  I do have the class projects figured out, but I must get some regular stamping done today!

Enjoy your day!

Wednesday, November 2, 2016



The card - leaves are from Hero Arts.  I stamped the leaves on two different colors of blue using navy blue ink.  The leaves are cut out and popped up.  Just a bit of grunge stamped in the background.

More stamping today - I got sidetracked yesterday and didn't get much done.  I need to focus today!

Have a wonderful day.

The card - stamped images are from SU.  I used some patterned paper in the background.  The tag is popped up on top of the background pieces.  The acorn is popped up on the tag.  (I liked this layout, but I think it would have looked better if I had stamped the tag with color instead of such neutral colors)

Time to get to work on class projects.  Stamping is the name of the game this week!

Have a great day!
