Autumn Blessings

 How wonderful to find seasonal things in your stash that have been forgotten/neglected for a while. It's like getting new supplies!

This Filmore Tall Curve Border from poppy stamps was cut from some copper matt metallic card. I did some snipping to have it hug the curve on the Gina K oval and used the bits for a little embellishment. The stiped paper is from a Craft Smith pad that was on sale last spring. Sentiment from Gina K Harvest of Happiness set.

Thanksgiving Blessings

 

Happy Monday!

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #704 

I used some papers from a Craft Smith pad that was on sale a while ago and a sentiment from Gina K Designs. The scallop was cut with a border punch, and the banners just free cut. Thanksgiving is really a favorite holiday for me - so many happy family memories and a perfect opportunity to send gratitude to my friends and family.

Thank yo9u for visiting my blog today.

Celebrate your blessings!!

Stripes

 


Happy Monday!

And welcome to inspiration for this week's challenge at

I dug into my yellow/orange/brown pattern paper folders and found all these fun scraps. I'm loving all the autumn colors right now. They were cut at 1/2" and layered on some Dark Chocolate card stock. Sentiment and banner die from Gina K Designs. I added a little loop of ribbon from my stash.

Thank you for visiting my blog and I hope to see you on the AHSC blog!

Fall Birthday


 

Happy Monday! 

Here's is this week's sketch at                                         Atlantic Heart Sketch Challenge

I need lots of birthday cards for October and November, so my inspiration for this card uses lots of warm autumn colors.  The plaid frame was cut with Gina K's Master Layouts 18. The sentiment is from her Flowing Florals set.  All the floral and foliage die cuts are from Spellbinder's Hiking Through the Meadows set which was small die of the month Sept23.

Today I am Thankful

 


This sketch from Freshly Made Sketches is lovely!

I used the branch cover die from papertrey ink and cut the top branch off.  The leaves were cut from scraps. The sentiment is from a much older CTMH set, Always Grateful. All these things from my stash. It's so nice to revisit and use those seasonal products!

I masked off the card front and ink blended before adhering the die cuts, and adding a few Copper embellishments from A Colorful Life Designs.
