The card - Just something a little different.  I think I would like it better with a different choice of colors.  The strip down the left side is washi tape and the right side is an old script stamp.  I inked the flower with markers.

A bit of a free morning (not sure what I'm going to do) but I'm looking forward to our Wool Gatherer's Group at Hi Fashion this afternoon.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - more printed paper.  The panel is a piece of green card stock with a strip of printed paper and a strip of kraft.  Just added some twine and a sentiment.

Didn't get my yard work done yesterday - it got too hot (should have done it first I guess)  So, today is yard work day - or yard work morning anyway!  Hopefully this afternoon I can get a bit of stamping done (I'm out of cards again) and then I have friends coming over later to stitch. 

Have a great day!

The card - just some more paper.  The strips along the side are 1/4 " strips cut from one piece of patterned paper and then attached leaving a tiny space between each strip.  I added a couple of  Prima flower that started out white, but I sponged ithem with a bit of pink.  

Aw....a free day!   Time to clean my house.  That seems to be one job that gets away from me these days - but I've learned that other things are much more important so it gets done on a irregular basis these days 😊  But today is the day along with yard work. 

Have a great day!

The card - just some black and white.  Stripes across the center is a piece of printed paper.  Sentiment is stamped on white and then punched with a label punch (whoa, it's really crooked!).  Leaves at the top are a die cut and leaves at the bottom are stamped.

'Grandma time' today.  We get to begin another session of Kindermusik - fun!

Have a terrific day!

Off to Weight Watcher's this morning and then some extra 'Grandma time' today - yay!

Have a great day!

The card - more printed paper used as a accent.  I attached the printed paper and then stamped directly over it with the black flower.

'Grandma time' today!  Yay!  Friday night crafting tonight.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - just pieces from printed paper.  This is all from the same 12 x 12 piece of paper and I wish you could see it in real life - so pretty.  It is black with copper in it - soooo cool.  The butterfly is a die cut.  

Had a very productive day yesterday - can only hope I can have another one today 😉  Feels so good to get so much done!  Haircut this morning and later today friends are coming over to stitch.   It's going to be another good day!

Enjoy your day!

The card - playing with some new printed paper that I picked up at Seasons to Follow.  Using some pretty paper makes for a quick and simple card!

A free day and plenty of chores to keep me busy. 

A report from the eye Dr. - after the tests yesterday he determined that I do have Glaucoma in my left eye .  It is fairly recent so has not done any damage yet - good news!  I will be taking an eye drop in my left eye every night at bedtime.  Whew - I can live with that!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - background is printed paper.  I stamped the flower (Tim Holtz) on the full piece and then trimmed the bottom piece off to make it a little smaller and leave the border around both pieces.  

Off to the eye Dr this morning for more tests.  Have to go this morning, at noon and then again late afternoon.  Pretty much takes care of my day. 

Have a great day!

Photo Sunday - Hudson loves going to the park - and we go a lot because it is right across the street!  He's getting braver all the time, but when he tried to climb up on the top rung I had to tell him to stop because there would be nothing to hold onto!  😊

I got a bit of stamping done yesterday so I will be back with some cards on Tuesday!

The card - sorry, this is not a good scan - the card is so much prettier in real life.  The daisy is from SU and is stamped, punched out and popped up.  It's a simple card but lovely in real life.

Sorry I've been missing in action for a few days.  Life is just keeping me busy.  I'm out of cards to post and haven't had time to stamp.  Hudson is keeping me busy and life in general just keeps getting in the way!  I'm hoping to find some time to stamp over the weekend, so hopefully I'll be back next week! 

On the good side, Weight Watchers is going well  - I've lost 7 lbs. - yay!  Only 20 more to go!  On the not so good side I went to have my eyes checked yesterday and they think I have glaucoma in my left eye.  I have to go in for some more tests on Tuesday so I'll know more then, but that wasn't very good news!    I do have cute new glasses coming though - that will be fun!

So,  I will be back soon!  In the mean time - Happy Stampin'!

Have a great day!

The card - a collage - background is a script stamp and I added a flower (from SU) and a clock (7 Gypsies).  The butterfly is stamped in black on colored paper, punched out and popped up.  I also use a bit of the same color with a grunge stamp on the background.

Oh my, what to do first today.  Have a list, but not sure I'm motivated to do any of them.  Would like to get some stuff together so I can go stitch this afternoon at Inspirations.  Friends coming over later this afternoon for stitching so I at least have to get my act together by then!  (I think I used all my energy on the garage yesterday - not feeling it today - but, I got the garage at least straightened up and the car washed -yay!)   Maybe some more caffeine and I will be inspired - hahaha!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - just some printed paper cut for a 'puzzle effect'.  

Class tonight, but before that my plan is to work on getting the garage straightened up.  What a mess.....I really need to do a big cleaning, including getting rid of a LOT of stuff, but that job seems just a bit too over whelming, so I will make do with just a bit of organizing today!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - some grunge in the background with a butterfly die cut and a sentiment - easy peasy!

Class this morning and then a birthday dinner for my son Jeff tonight.  Fun!

Have a great day!

The card - super simple - background is just printed paper.  Celebrate (from Papertrey Ink) is stamped in black.  I added a metal clip with some string attached at the top.  Fast & easy!

'Grandma time' today.  That's it!

Have a great day!

The card -, again, not a card.  This is October's calendar topper.  It's all done with printed paper.  It started out as a 12 x 12 piece and I cut it down to fit the calendar.  The house is cut out of one portion and the moon and witch are cut out of another portion and popped up.    

Lots of 'Grandma time' this week - the babysitter is sick, so it turns out I will most likely have Hudson all week.  Probably won't get much accomplished, but that's ok. 

Have a great day!

The card - not a card :)  I still haven't gotten any stamping done but the next few posts I will show you some calendar toppers.  They can certainly be used for ideas for a card (in fact, some of them I actually did a card using the same layout!  This is my April calendar topper.  The background is printed paper, the sentiment is from Hero Arts and the butterflies are from SU.

I've had Hudson for the last 4 days - all fun stuff - but it means I really haven't gotten any thing else done.  Maybe this week - we'll see.  I do need to start doing some yard work, so that will probably be my priority this week.

Oh, and just a side note - my first weigh-in at WW was Saturday - I lost 5 lbs. last week - WooHoo!

Have a wonderful day!

Tuesday, May 1, 2018

The card - I never get tired of this butterfly embossing folder (from Darice).  Super easy with just some punched out butterflies nnd a sentiment added to it.

Catching up on chores today!  I actually cancelled a stitching morning....I've had Hudson so much lately (love that part!) that I am so far behind in everything else - I have other things every day this week so I am taking the time and trying to get caught up today  (hahaha)  Well, it's worth a try anyway! 

I also may not be able to post for the next few days - I'm out of cards and I need to find some time to stamp! Not sure when that's going to happen! 

Have a wonderful day!
