Photo Saturday - I am getting quite the collection of 31 bags :)   I really felt the need to get them somewhat organized the other day so I spent some time hanging up some hooks and getting them hung up on one of the classroom walls.   It makes it easy to see what's there and easy to find exactly what I want to take to a party.  

Trying to motivate myself to get some stamping done today....not sure why I'm having such a hard time with that, but just not in the mood I guess.

Have a terrific day!

The card - flower stamp is from Penny Black.  I stamped it on a strip of card stock and then cut it into squares.  The square are popped up on the card front on top of the printed paper.

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

Have a wonderful day!

The card - the butterfly is punched out.  I actually punched out two and popped up the top one - the scanner kind of mashed them together so you don't get the same effect!  

Not sure what the plan is this morning.  Have a little extra 'Grandma time' this afternoon though, so looking forward to that!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - flower is from SU.  I stamped the flower once on the panel, then stamped it again on a seperate piece, cut it out and popped it up on the original stamped flower.  The white panel is also popped up.

Not sure what my plan is today.  I seem to have a fairly free day, and I really need to get some stamping done.  I just don't seem to be  very motivated.  Hmmm.......

Have a terrific day!



Check out this Thirty-One Sale.  There are some great bargains.  It's only today and tomorrow and supplies are limited.

The card - one of those new embossing folders....I embossed it on a smaller piece of  matching cardstock and popped it up.  The sentiment is stamped to the side directly on the card.

Just delivered Hudson to the babysitters....now it's time to get some work done - if I can get myself motivated!  Not really feeling it this morning.......

Have a terrific day!

The card - love black and white.  The flower is from Unity, bottom strip is patterned paper and small strip is washi tape.  Add a small bow and the punched ovals are popped up.

"Grandma time' today - and probably a overnighter while Jeff and Sara attend a memorial service for a close friend.

Have a terrific day!

Project Sunday - my 'April' truck.  

Whew - a free day!  Gosh, it seems like it's been pretty chaotic around here lately.  Feels good to have a 'free' day, but I do need to get some stamping done.  Maybe some laundry too!

Have a great day!

The card - another new embossing folder.  I colored the center of the flowers with a marker and added a sentiment - pretty darn easy!

Off to DeBeque for a day of stitching.  Woo hoo!  Then it's Friday night crafting tonight.  Sounds like a terrific kind of day to me!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - a new embossing folder (by Darice) that I picked up yesterday.  Just added a little bling and a sentiment.  Makes a super easy and quick card!

"Grandma time' today.  Traded days so I could have a play day tomorrow.  Class tonight so I better get things ready before the munchkin gets here.

Have a terrific day!

The card - an embossed background, an added doilie (from SU) and a simple banner sentiment.  Oh so easy!

Adventure day - Judy S and I are off to Delta for lunch and who knows what else.   We're celebrating Judy's birthday (better late than never).  Looking forward to a fun day!

Enjoy your day!

The card - a script background stamp across the bottom and some layered butterflies.  The lg butterfly is a die cut, the middle one is stamped (SU), then cut out and the small one on top is a punch.  The sentiment is stamped, then punched out and slipped under the top butterfly.

Company for dinner tonight, so I have noodles to make, chicken to cook and the toys from yesterday to pick up.  Glad I don't have any other commitments today!

Have a terrific day!

The card - a super simple one.  I masked off the line where I wanted to put the twine so the stamped butterflies wouldn't go below that line.  Butterflies are from SU..

"Grandma time' today and some knitting time tonight at The Craft Studio.

Have a super day!

The card - I stamped the flowers (from SU) on the printed paper.  The butterflies are stamped, punched out and popped up.  (the color is a little odd from the scan - the background is more tan than yellow)

We're celebrating a birthday at our Shoebox Club tonight so that means dinner, no cards.  It will be a fun evening.  I just need to get some chores done before then!

Have a terrific day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  The large butterfly is a SU die cut, the smaller butterfly is stamped, cut out and added on top of the die cut.  The butterfly is popped up on top of the banner.

Off to do some errands this morning and then class tonight.

Have a great day!

The card - a simple panel card.  (sorry, the scan made the brown panel kind of dark, but it really doesn't look that dark in real life)  The flower stamps are from SU.  

Class this morning and then some stitching time at Hi Fashion this afternoon.  A full day!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - the sentiment is stamped on the background panel before it is embossed.  I punched a circle from patterned paper and added it to the center of the doilie.  The butterfly is popped up.

Oops - sorry I missed posting yesterday.  It turned into a bit of a crazy, but fun weekend.  I got some unexpected overnight 'Grandma time' on Saturday, so Sunday morning there just was not time to deal with the blog!   Today is another'Grandma day' and tonight I'll be at The Craft Studio for some knitting time.

Have a terrific day!
