Grateful for You

We are only a few days away from Halloween which means Thanksgiving will be here before we know it!  I always like to send cards out to family and friends during the month of November just to let them know how grateful I am for them.

Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration is focusing on the stamp set called For All Things Today.  This was one of my favorite sets last year and I was very happy to see it carry over in the annual catalog. The soft watercolored images are so pretty...

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Blackberry Bliss, Very Vanilla, Gold Fancy Foil Designer Vellum

Ink ~ Blackberry Bliss, Hello Honey, Tangelo Twist, Tip Top Taupe

Stamp Sets ~ For All Things, Holly Jolly Greetings

Other Supplies ~ Circle Framelits, Metallic Sequins, Blackberry Bliss Striped Cotton Ribbon

I have had to stop and remind myself of all that I have to be grateful the past few weeks...I've been under some major stress at work and I let it get to me in so many ways.  But when I take a step back and look at the big picture, I am reminded of how blessed and grateful I am to have this job and one of the very best co-workers around!  This card is going out in the mail this week letting her know just how grateful I am for her!

Be sure to check out all of the beautiful creations from our design team today...you are sure to be Inspired to create!

Happy Stamping!

Blustery Fall Day

Hi friends!  Happy Tuesday :-)  It's hard to believe it's already the end of September...time flies by way too fast!  It was cold and blustery this morning when I headed out for my run, so I decided to make a card today that went along with our weather.

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Basic Black, Sahara Sand, Motley Monsters DSP

Ink ~ Tangerine Tango, Crushed Curry, Sahara Sand, Memento, Blendabilities:  Cherry Cobbler, Daffodil Delight, Night of Navy, Pumpkin Pie, Smoky Slate

Stamp Sets ~ Holiday Home, For All Things

Other Supplies ~ Homemade Holiday Framlits

 

I just love the falling leaves on the Motley Monsters DSP...perfect for any fall card.  And these cute little houses just begged to be colored with the

Blendabilites.

 

Thanks for dropping by today!  Hope you are having a fabulous fall day!

 

Happy Stamping!

Hello Fall

Hi friends...Happy Monday!  It's been a week since my last post...yikes!  This doesn't mean I haven' been creating, but it does mean that last week was insanely BUSY!  Between getting back from Disneyland and jumping right into the back to school routine, life was a bit more chaotic.  Now that we have our first week under our belts, things should be running a bit more smoothly...at least I hope ;-)

I am so not ready for summer to end, but the cooler mornings and evenings are a sure sign that fall is on its way.  I am a sun shine, warm weather kind of girl, but I will admit, I love the beginning of fall too.  The warm, bright colors of the changing leaves, pumpkins, apple cider...those things make me happy!

It's the second Monday of the month, which means it's time for a new sketch over at SSInkspiration.  And since fall is quickly creeping up on us, I decided it was high time I started creating some fall cards too!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Crushed Curry, Soft Suede, Very Vanilla

Ink ~ Blackberry Bliss, Crushed Curry

Stamp Set ~ For All Things

Other Supplies ~ Linen Thread, Autumn Wooden Elements

 

Don't you just love that fun little wooden acorn?  And the warm fall colors?!?  Ok...I'm starting to let go of summer and embrace fall...lets just make sure it's a slow and gradual process, ok?!?

 

Thanks for stopping by today!  And be sure to check out all of the awesome creations from our design team and please join in the fun and play along!

 

Happy Stamping!
