Thankful for Autumn

 

Welcome to the October edition of Around the World on Wednesday!  This month we are CAS(e)ing the fabulous Chris Smith.  Chris loves a good sketch, so we scrolled through all of her beautiful creations to find the perfect card to inspire us.

Fall weather is officially here...cooler mornings followed by warm and sunny afternoons.  I love the first part of fall!  I chose to create with the Amber Autumn bundle for today's hop.

I was inspired by this adorable card that Chris made.  I love the sketch and layers of different paper.

The plaid pattern of Gathering Together DSP, along with the leafy pattern with just the right amount of gold, paired up beautifully with the acorn image.

A little bit of Irregular Weave Trim tied with an Early Espresso Linen bow was the only embellishment needed.  

Keep on hopping to see what our friend Lori Willcox has created today!

Happy stamping!

Lovely Garden

Hooray for Tuesday and an all new Hand Stamped Sentiments sketch challenge.

Today I'm sharing a card created with the new Lovely Garden Suite Collection.  I love flowers as much as I love stamps and hydrangeas are some of my favorites!

These beautiful blooms were fussy cut from the Lovely Garden DSP.  In addition to the pretty floral patterns, there are some pretty awesome black and white pattens of paper in this pack.  I love black and white with a pop of color!

The Fresh Freesia Faux Velvet ribbon is so soft and pretty!  This is a suite that you won't want to miss out on!

Happy Stamping!
