The card - the last of the snowflakes for this year.  The background is patterned paper and I just added some die cuts, a couple strips of paper, a sentiment and a bit of bling.  Easy!

No real plan for today.  Can't seem to get myself motivated even though there's a ton of stuff on my 'to do list'.  Hopefully I can get something accomplished today!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - just a couple more snowflakes.  The dotted strip down the side is patterned paper.  The snowflake die cuts are popped up.  Some added twine and the sentiment is stamped and then punched out with an oval.  The sentiment is also popped up.

A little extra 'Grandma time' this morning while the babysitter is at the Dr's.  Then it's a free day - hmmmm....have lots I need to do, just can't figure out where to start......stamping?   stitching?   knitting?   cleaning?   laundry? 

Have a great day!

Have a terrific day!

The card - this is one of my favorites.....simple and easy too!  The background is stamped at the top and the bottom.  I sponged the edges of a flagged  strip and added it across the center.  The snowflake is popped up.

'Grandma time' today.  Yay!  Celebrating our friend Deb's birthday tonight!  Fun!

Have a great day!

The card - I stamped a snowflake in the middle of the background, added a strip of white across the middle and then added the snowflake border die on top of that.  I die cut one small snowflake in a different color and added that on the right.  The color of the card is Sahara Sand - much prettier in real life than it shows in the scan!

Oh gosh, I seem to have a day with no plan and no pressing commitments!  Hmmm....whatever shall I do?  The laundry is done, the house is fairly clean....... I should be able to find something to do to keep myself occupied!!  We'll see!!!  (there's probably something important I'm forgetting to do!) 

Have a wonderful day!

The card - layered snowflake die cuts, a sentiment and a little 'snow' stamped on the background.  Easy!

Chores this morning, stitching at Laura's this afternoon and then a Christmas party that was postponed when I got sick in December.  Sounds like a good day to me!

Have a great day!

The card - a little black and white today.  I stamped the wreath twice without re=inking to get a shadow effect.  I punched it out with a circle and popped it up.  The background on the right is printed paper and the stems behind the circle are cie cuts.

A haircut and errands this morning, class tonight. 

Have a great day!

The card - just some background stamps (SU) with a die cut (SU) and an added sentiment.  

I have an unexpected free day today - hmmmm....guess I should be figuring out what I can accomplish!  I for sure need to start with the laundry.  After that we'll see.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - moving on from trees to snowflakes.  My friend Emily gave me this SU snowflake stamp set and dies for Christmas and I just had to make some cards with them before winter is over.  I used a grunge stamp in the background and then added the snowflake dies on top.  The sentiment is added at the bottom - easy!

Looking foward to a day of crafting with some friends.  I need to get myself organized though, have so many things to work on I don't know where to start!  Hoping for a super productive day!

Happy stampin'

The card - one more tree card .  The top of the background is printed paper, the bottom is a piece of white torn acorss the top.  Added the die cut trees (SU) and a sentiment.  Easy!

It's going to be a stampin' day!  I was in and out of the house most of the day yesterday running errands.  Today I plan on staying in and getting lots of stamping done!  (that's my goal anyway!!!)

Enjoy your day!

The card - this is another one that actually looks better in real life.  It would make a good 'guy card'.  The background is printed paper and the trees are stamped on the top panel, torn at the bottom and sponged on the edge.  

Off to an appointment this morning.  No plans for the rest of the day...oh oh.  Looking forward to stitching with friends tonight.  I have so much to get caught up on - I'm on a mission to get everything done that I started before I got sick!!!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - hmmmm, not so sure about this one.  I attached the 'happy' die cut before I embossed the background, but I think it would have been better to have added it after embossing.  It looks better in real life, but still.......

'Grandma time' today.  That's it for today!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - background on square panel is navy blue printed paper with some torn white at the bottom.  The white tree is die cut (SU) and popped up.  

Time to get the house cleaned up a bit.  The Dr said no strenuous activity, so I guess I'll try not to get too carried away.  LOL!  Our Shoebox Club is tonight and we're celebrating a couple of birthdays, so that will be fun!

Enjoy your day!

The card - an old stamp from Inkadinkado.  The bottom part of the panel is embossed leaving the top blank for the stamped images.  (I should have added a little bling!)

Beginning to feel almost normal.  Not so tired and sore - yay!  Have a couple of errands to do today and looking forward to stitching with friends tonight. 

Have a wonderful day!

The card - some patterned paper and trees - simple and easy.

Have Hudson for a while this morning, the babysitter has a Dr's appointment.  He'll be here to help me with class this morning...... lol - not sure help will be the right word!

Have a terrific day!

The card - couldn't let winter go by without some snowmen.  Love my snowmen!  Background is embossed, added some washi tape and just colored the snowmen a bit with copics.

'Grandma time' today.  Probably nothing exciting today - it's so cold and still snow on the ground, so we may have a nice quiet indoor day!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - background is embossed, brown piece is a wood paneled piece of patterned paper.  Trees are stamped on smaller panel, matted and popped up.  An added sentiment that is punched out with a small piece of bling.

Surgery is over, it all went fine.  Not much pain, just a little soreness and discomfort.  Taking regular ol' Tylenol, no pain pills.  Already bored with laying around and doing nothing for 2 days.  I think I'm going to try to get some stamping done today.  Thanks for all the well wishes!

Have a great day!

Tomorrow I go to the hospital bright and early to have my gall bladder removed.  I'll be taking a bit of a break from the blog .....I'll be back next week!

Happy
