The card - Background is embossed.  I sponged the folder before I embossed.  I stamped the trees on a smaller piece of white and added it to the back of the window die cut.  I added a couple sprigs of greenery die cuts and some ribbon to the bottom of the window.

A Dr's appointment this morning (just a med check) and then I really need to get myself organized and figure out what all needs to be done in the next couple of weeks!  Looking forward to an evening of stitching with a friend.

Have a wonderful day!

Loved the Swedish Weaving class!  I'm addicted!  Have finished my towel from class, plus another one and have started one more. Can hardly wait to get some pattern books and more pretty thread.

The card - some more of that pretty paper from SU.  I stamped the sentiment across the top and matted the piece with a darker blue.  The background piece is actually embossed with a very subtle texture which didn't show up in the scan :(  Super easy for a quick, but pretty  card.

Looking foward to learning a brand new craft today - Swedish weaving!    Taking a class this morning at Laura's - hopefully I can  do it!

Stitching with friends tonight.  A full day of fun!

Have a great day!

The card - so sorry for the bad scan. :( This is actually a really pretty card.   The background is embossed with a brick folder that has been inked before embossing.  (tan, not yellow)  The tree is stamped on a small piece and added to the front of the card while the window frmae is popped up over the tree.  The sentiment strip at the bottom is also popped up.   Try it - it's really a pretty card!:)

Errands this morning and then I need to straighten up a bit from last night's card class event.  Looking forward to an afternoon of stitching at Laura's and then Line Dancing tonight.

Have a great day!

The card - more leaves (punched, scrunched and sponged), pattern paper and a sentiment.  Background square is just a matted square with some splatter grunge.

More 'Grandma time' today.  Loving it!  That's all.  Since I'm not in charge of Thanksgiving this year (yay!) I don't have much to do except make a couple of pies and some mashed potatoes in the morning. 

If you are traveling to be with friends and/or family, please be careful and have a safe trip!

Have a wonderful day!

Snow???   Brrrr...it's cold and white out there this morning.  Not quite my cup of tea.  LOL...but, not much I can do about it, so it's on with the day. Have a couple of errands to do and maybe some  extra 'Grandma time'.  (still waiting to hear)

Have a wonderful day!

A totally free day - I'm thinking I should work on next month's class stuff.  Still thinking........not feeling very motivated, but maybe after I go for a walk and have a little more caffeine.
