Good Friday morning, Friends! We will be leaving this afternoon for Kansas to visit family for the week of Thanksgiving! So excited! Today's Sketch Frenzy Friday sketch was created by Robbie Rubula. Take a look!

I love the sketch but it did have me stumped when I went to create my card. I wanted to get in a few more fall cards and I was able to make it come to come together! Take a look!

Here are the details:

• Card base is Naturals white
• On a layer of Naturals white stamp the large leaf image from Wonderfall in Crushed Curry
• Stamp the sentiment from Seasonal Sayings in Chocolate Chip
• Adhere layer to a layer of Chocolate Chip card stock and then adhere to card with dimensionals
• Stamp smaller leaf in Tangerine Tango onto a a piece of Naturals white, cut out and adhere to card with dimensionals
• Thread some linen thread through three Naturals designer buttons and adhere to card

Very simple! Be sure to visit the Sketch Frenzy Friday blog for more inspiration! I hope you will play along with us this week! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello everyone! And Happy Thanksgiving! We are taking the turkey to my sister's house and enjoying the day with her family. I am looking forward to football games and a great dinner!! 

Today's card was inspired by last week's Mojo Monday sketch. I did leave off a few elements but they just didn't look quite right on my card. So I just kept it very simple! I adhered a piece of Orchard Harvest designer paper to a card base of Crumb Cake. Then I stamped the sentiment from Seasonal Sayings in Midnight Muse and Raspberry Ripple onto a piece of Crumb Cake. Then I stamped the leaf from Wonderfall in Crumb Cake right over the sentiment. I used the scallop trim punch on the edge of the piece and then sponged it with Crumb Cake ink. This is adhered to a piece of Midnight Muse. Then I tied a piece of Midnight Muse stitched satin ribbon around this before popping it up onto the card. Thank you so much for stopping by and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

CCMC 226

Good morning, Friends! I hope your week is going super! It's time for another Thursday challenge from the Create with Connie and Mary team! This week we are being challenged with color! Take a look at these fabulous colors!!

Cajun Craze, More Mustard, and Midnight Muse! So pretty together and yet I had such a hard time actually putting them together - ugh! I hate it when that happens. So I used a lot of white space with mine. Not totally what I was going for but it works for the challenge. 

I have been wanting to make more autumn/Thanksgiving cards as this season seems to just fly by. I ran a piece of Whisper White through the Big Shot with the Woodgrain embossing folder. Then I adhered a piece of Cajun Craze to this and wrapped a piece of Midnight Muse stitched satin ribbon around the panel before popping it up onto a card base of Whisper White. On another piece of Whisper White I stamped the sentiment from Seasonal Sayings in Midnight Muse and popped this up onto the card. Finally, I stamped the leaf from Wonderfall in More Mustard onto a piece of Whisper White and popped this up onto the card. Very simple!

Be sure to check it out what the other designers did with these colors. You can find their fabulous creations on the Create with Connie and Mary website. I do hope that you will be inspired to play along with us this week! Be sure to upload your creation to the website so that we can all take a look!

Fab Friday 05 Again

Good morning everyone! So glad that it is the middle of the week! Looking forward to the weekend! It has been a little busy around here. Nick's team lost their game yesterday but I thought they played pretty darn good! Can't win them all and they are still learning a lot about themselves and the game. The team they played yesterday will also be going to the same high school so when they all meet up in a few (short) years, that high school should have a very awesome team!! That will be exciting! It should be a quiet evening around here - yea!! Then another game tomorrow! Now to figure out what's for dinner tonight...

Today's card was inspired by the sketch at Fab Friday. I had done a card for that challenge earlier but couldn't resist doing another. I just love the clean and simple look of the sketch! And I thought my new single stamp would be perfect! On my Naturals Ivory card base I traced around a Label framelit die then I adhered a strip of Orchard Harvest designer paper with both ends flagged. Then I cut two Labels (the same size) from Naturals Ivory. On one I cut the top and bottom off and then stamped the image using my Cajun Craze and Old Olive markers. I used the dotted ribbon scallop punch to punch a strip of Old Olive card stock and then this is popped up onto the other label. Then the label is popped up onto the card. And it's hard to tell, but I did add a tiny pearl to the top of the image. Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!

Cajun Thanksgiving

Good Sunday morning everyone! Did you remember to set your clocks back last night? We didn't but at least we remembered that when we woke up. But now we need to remember to physically set them back soon or we will really be confused - lol! What a beautiful day is in store for us! And the Broncos have an early game! That should be fun!! I can sit and watch football while working on some Christmas gifts. That is starting to sneak up on me - Yikes!!

Today's card was inspired by one that I did in Becky's card class. I got this sentiment a while ago and wanted to use it. I don't really have any Thanksgiving type sentiments so I got this one during the Single Stamp promotion (which is still going on). It was nice to just order the one stamp. It comes from the Seasonal Sayings set. But first I stamped the leaf from Wonderfall in Cajun Craze onto a piece of Crumb Cake (stamping off once) and rounded the corner. Then I stamped the sentiment on top in Early Espresso. I also stamped the sentiment again onto a scrap of Crumb Cake in Early Espresso. On the scrap piece I cut out the "thanks" and popped it up onto the main panel. The Crumb Cake piece is adhered to a piece of Early Espresso that also has the corner rounded. This panel is popped up onto a card base of Crumb Cake with a layer of Orchard Harvest designer paper. For a little embellishment I tied a piece of Victoria crochet trim to a bronze button with linen thread and adhered it to the card. Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!
