The card - a sentiment (from SU), a leaf punch, some bling and some twine.  How easy is that?

My goal is to get some stamping done today since I got most of my chores done yesterday - yay!  No plans to leave the house, so here's hoping for a productive day!

Enjoy YOUR day!

The card - trees are from SU.  I inked the stamp with a peach color and then used a sponge dauber to add some rust and green before I stamped.  I used a marker to make the tree trunks brown.

Time to get caught up on some chores.  Looking forward to an evening of stitching with friends.

Have a great day!

The card - background stamp is from SU, as is the leaf diecuts.  I cut a smaller piece of vellum which is over the background, but under the circle and leaves.

Sorry I was MIA last week.  Time just got away from me, I had no cards stamped and I just couldn't get motivated to do anything about it!   Have had Hudson most of the weekend and again today, but I did get a bit of stamping done last night, so I'm good for a few days!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - the background is embossed with a brick pattern (Tim Holtz).  After embossing I sponged it with some kraft.  I stamped the flowers on the smaller panel (which is also sponged and popped up).  The milk can is stamped on a piece of white, colored with copics and then cut out and popped up.  

Looking forward to a little r & r today.  Judy and I are going to breakfast, then a little shopping (or window shopping in my case) and then to a movie.   Then Friday night crafting tonight. It's going to be a great day!

Enjoy YOUR day!

The card - sorry, not a great scan.  (Couldn't get rid of the shadows.)  A simple card - just 4 squares popped up in the center with some cut out leaves on top.  

Got totally side tracked yesterday and forgot to post.....and didn't get much done either.  But, I did spend a nice relaxing afternoon stitching at Laura's new workshop space.  Today, I really need to get the utility room cleaned up....seasonal clothes all over the place, can't even walk in there.  That's my goal for the day!

Have a great day!

The card - the left side of the background panel is a seperate piece that is embossed and then attached to the panel.  The leaves are punched, scrunched up and then sponged.  Some added twine, bling and a sentiment.

A  day with no child....oh my - I think I might get lonely.  However, I do have a ton of things I want to get done in the next few days, so I should get started!

Have a terrific day!

Photo Sunday - a couple of beautiful fall days and lots of fun at the pumpkin patches

Friday, October 19, 2018





The card - just some cool patterned paper, some twine and a sentiment.  How easy is that?

More'Grandma time' today.  (an overnighter too!)  It's supposed to be much nicer today with sunshine, so I'm planning a trip to Moon Farm (another pumpkin patch). 

Have a great day!

The card - super simple.....I embossed the background and then sponged it lightly over the top.  The leaf is punched out, scrunched up and then sponged.  Added some twine and a setiment - easy peasy!

'Grandma time' today.  Hoping it's going to be nice enough to spend some time outdoors.  Had a perfect afternoon yesterday and a fun family time at the Pumpkin Patch!

Have a great day!

To answer a question from Monday, the cards I do are regular 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 size.  (half of a  8 1/2 x 11 sheet of cardstock)

The card - just some pretty patterned paper, twine, bling and sentiment from Cas-ual Fridays Stamps.  Super simple.

An unexpected day off from babysitting today - daughter-in-law has the day off so now I'm free for the day.  Hmmmm.....know there is lots I need to do, but my brain hasn't caught up with the idea of having some free time.  Better figure out the best way not to waste the day!

Have a great day!

The card - a tree stamp, some wood printed paper and some wood grain embossed paper.  How easy is that!

'Grandma time'.  I know (I do, I really do) that we needed rain.  But, could we just have a break from it for a day or two?  Missing the sunshine and being able to spend a little time outdoors. 

Have a wonderful day!

The card - pitcher and flower are from SU,  sentiment is from Verve.  Patterned paper for the background and an added piece of embossed cardstock.  

Posting may be a little hit and miss for the next couple of weeks.  The regular babysitter is out of town, so I have 'Grandma time' every day.  Love it, but not much time or energy for other things.  Posting is not usually an issue, but finding time to stamp is a different story :)  I'll try my best, but this is just a head's up.

Have a great day!
