The card - background is embossed.  The image is die cut in the center of the background and a piece of patterned paper is added behind.  Add a stamped, die cut sentiment.

 I plan on doing a bit of stamping this morning and then it's back to work this afternoon (filling in for another volunteer).  The boys are off camping this week so I've ended up with some extra free time this week.  Trying to use it wisely :)

Have a wonderful day!

Internet issues :(.   My internet has been off and on for several days.  Someone  is supposed to come check it out here in a bit.  Hope they fix it - can't believe how frustrating it is not to have it!    It's a 'Grandma day' with Hudson and Ethan.  School starts soon - only this week and next to enjoy my 'Grandma Mondays'.  :(    We are trying to make plans for doing some fun stuff with the time we have left.

Have a wonderful day!

Saturday Quote.....

Off to Farmer's Market to get my weekly supply of fresh veggies.  Then I'm hoping to be more ambitious than I was yesterday - although I did mow the lawn and get the laundry done.  But, I got totally sidetracked with a book so spent most of the afternoon reading :)  I plan on really trying to do something constructive today!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - background has pieces of patterned paper and a die cut border at the bottom.  The leaves are die cut from patterned paper.  Add a die cut, stamped sentiment piece, some bling and some twine.

Running late posting this morning.  I was concentrating on getting out and mowing the lawn before it got too hot and spaced out the blog :)  The yard is done now so here I am!  Thinking I am going to shower the sweat off (still hot even first thing in the morning) and then hopefully get some stamping done!  

Have a great day!

Photo Sunday .....

Church this morning and then I will finish up the class stuff.  It's been slow going this month - having a hard time getting motivated.  Luckily I'm almost finished, just a couple of kits left to put together.  That's my main goal for the day :)

Have a wonderful day!
