Hi friends!
The splendor of fall is here with changing leaves,
a crisp touch to the air and
it's pumpkin everything! :)
I absolutely adore this time of year knowing that soon
our home will once again be filled with our family,
visiting from all the parts of the globe for the holidays
in November and December!!
I have a fun card to share today with some
rather unusual colors for pumpkins ~
non-traditional colors of fall!
That's the challenge theme my sweet friend Traci
gave us this week in our Wednesday
Instagram card group here!
Her challenge:
"create a fall card with non-traditional colored leaves."
I ADORE green and teal together!
I had an idea to create a fall-ish, non-traditionalish card
using Harvest Blessings from Trinity Stamps.
Since green might be considered a traditional fall color,
I grabbed my watercolors and used mostly purple and teal
and let the water do it's magic!
I added a simple splatter to the background
and popped up the sentiment for some extra drama :)
Thank you Trinity Stamps for the shout out on Instagram
and resharing my card - I'm truly honored!
Thanks for stopping by today!

Hi friends!
It's time for another week of Fall Fun with Friends!
This is a wonderful group of cardmaking friends on Instagram
and you can see all the fun themes and card inspirations here!
This week our theme from Kati was "Fall gnomes or Autumn Wreaths"
I knew immediately I was going to break out
the Stamptember gnomes from Clearly Besotted ~
they are a GEM!
(Fun fact: I had a different card - which I adored - but
my daughter said 'that's not fall - that's spring!"
EEK!
So I quickly re-thunk my card and recolored the flowers more fall-ish
AND it fits my personal challenge of Peachtober! :)
There is a lot of texture on this card from die cutting the images
and popping them up on 3D foam.
I colored them with my prismacolor markers and included the florals
in a wreath-y shape and added one of the gnomes to the front.
There's another gnome on the inside of the card :)
One last glance!
Hi friends!
Very quick post today as we are in Florida
and need to batten down the hatches as we anxiously await
hurricane Milton.
Please think good thoughts and PRAY for our state!
My card is very simple and I'm not at all happy with it
but I had to post it for the 3M - 3 Musketeers - card group.
We are Jeanette, Barb and myself and take turns
sending an image (safe within the angel policies!)
and this month Jeanette sent us this hilarious Witchy Way
by C C Designs.
I looked it up since I hadn't seen it before and it has a trio
of super funny witches!
I fussy cut the witch and popped her on a backdrop of vellum
to keep her from getting lost in the designer paper,
which is from Photo Play.
and Barb's card here!

Hi friends!
It's Harvest time!
Today we're heading to the farm!
I'm sharing a card with a scarecrow hanging out with his friends
in the pumpkin patch / sunflower fields.
Lawn Fawn has a new challenge ~ Sightseeing!
I used Happy Harvest stamps and dies and colored them with
my prismacolor markers.
I also added on the slimline picket fence border die in kraft cardstock
and trimmed it to A2 size.
Finally, I added a wee mouse from Bubbles of Joy as I thought
it was a cute addition!
We anxiously pray for our state of Florida
with a succession of hurricanes and now Milton.
Praying for all in it's path as well as the aftermath of Helene <3
Thanks for stoping by today!

Hi friends!
We're LEAFing into fall!
And nope - that's not a typo :)
October is an exciting month of fall colors,
beautiful changes and the promise of things to come <3
Today I'm sharing a card featuring Newton's Nook Harvest Truck
on the way home from the farmer's market!
One of my favorite past times is heading to the farmer's market
on the weekends to get our freshly grown organic vegetables!
In a bustling busy city like mine, it's a treat to drive
into the rural undeveloped farm areas to buy fresh from the farms :)
I colored the adorable farm truck with my markers
and if you squint real hard you can see behind the image
is a very light ink blend.
The sentiment is EVERYTHING!
I love how you can mix and match it with other NND sets and more!
AND ...
it's also Bella's truck - IYKYK, LOL!!
Happy weekend!

Hey friends!
It's the 3rd of the month
and that means a new card featuring Whimsy Stamps!
This week is a special one with a
very special birthday!
I used Monster Cuties from Whimsy Stamps
(Click here to go directly to the shop
and get 10% off your first order!)
I thought it would be fun to make the colors match
the card and colored FIRST ..
the opposite of my crafty style!
I found some snippets of cardstock and papers in my stash - YAY!
I love it when it's all matchy-matchy :)
you can see monthly cards with Whimsy Stamps!

Hi friends!
Today we're heading to the farm!
This week for the Wednesday Fall Friends card group,
our theme is Hayrides and Fall Festivals!
I wanted to make a fall themed card with a tractor
for an upcoming family event
and yep, it's on a quaint little barn out in the country!
as well as the Lawn Fawn grassy border die to make the rows.
I wanted to make them a yellow-amber color to resemble rows
of farmers fields and hay.
The one teeny tiny solo cow is from Tiny Farm!
I blended the clouds with a stencil and used ballet slippers
and bubblegum ink pads.
Here's a final look!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi friends!
You're the G.O.A.T!
{greatest of all time!}
I just LOVE that sentiment!
It's what my son and granddaughter call each other
when they see each other :)
To hear that little voice "what's up, GOAT!" is so stinkin' sweet!
Today's card is featuring the adorable goats from Lawn Fawn.
I was super blessed to cross off Goat Yoga from my long awaited
bucket list when my beautiful daughter took me for my birthday.
We had a blast!
I'll definitely add that to my 'try again list', too!
I added the sweet goat stamps to a grassy little farm area
and just love the little one jumping up into the air!
I'll have to give this one to my grand from my son
since it was created with her in mind after all!
Thanks for stopping by!
