Gingham and Apples

Hi stampers!  Happy Wednesday!  I've switched gears back to a fall card today even though it's still freezing :-)

It took me a long time to get the Come To Gather DSP but I finally did and I'm so glad!  I just love this peacock gingham.  I also love the apples from Harvest Hellos so I used some Sponge Daubers to make a couple.  All you need to do for these is start with the lightest color and then add the darker one.  Circular motions work the best to blend well.

I just love all of these colors together!  You can find the full supply list in my FB group!

Happy stamping!

Hi stampers!  Look at me, posting on a Monday :-)  This card is for you, all of my friends and readers who are here when I decide to blog and when I need you :-)

I finally ordered the Come To Gather DSP and I'm so glad I did.  I love the colors and I love the way the rustic wood pattern pairs with the gingham!  I also love the addition of Cajun Craze here, too!  My sentiment is from the To Every Season Stamp set and I think it pairs nicely as well!

Make sure to check out the supplies in my FB group if you have any questions!

Happy stamping!

Hi stampers!  Happy Friday!  Sorry I've been MIA!  It's been a crazy few weeks.  Ian got sick, we went to Illinois, came home for three days and then few to Disneyland and San Diego (Jon had a work event).  We came home just before Halloween and the time change and I just haven't caught up with my life yet :-)  I'm kind of always behind though, ha!

Anyway, I'm hoping to get back into the groove and Fab Friday is helping me out today, forcing me to stamp and share!

It's kind of a fall combo I think.  My apple has blushing bride in it, although you can't see as much of it as I'd like.

I have to laugh and tell you a bit of a funny story!  I went to make this card early Thursday morning (thinking look at me go of course)  because Jon had a medical appointment later in the day that would take most of my time (he's fine).  I stamped an "apple" and used my daubers to color it in and just wasn't happy with it.  I kept looking at it and could NOT figure it out.  It finally dawned on me.... :-)

Make sure to check out what the rest of the team did and play along!  If you're looking for the supply list, make sure you follow me in my FB group as that's where those live now!

Happy stamping!

Hi stampers!  Happy Friday!  I'm not going to lie, I hate this card, lol!

I had a bad flare up of my occipital neuralgia yesterday so it is what it is.  At least I managed to stamp something!  It just didn't turn out quite as I pictured and I chose to go rest instead of a redo ;-)

Here's the challenge!

And here's what I made.

Make sure to check out the rest of the team and play along with us!

Hey There, Pumpkin

Hi stampers!  Happy Monday!  Technology is NOT my friend!  Anyone else?  I'm sharing a cute card today but my photo editing app wasn't working so I did the best I could, I hope I do it justice since it's JUST SO CUTE!

How fun is the pattern mixing on this card???  Don't be afraid to mix them up!  And don't forget about our Decorative Masks!  This set from the Holiday Catalog are super cute and to be honest, I forgot these simple dots were in there!  I inked them up with a sponge and made sure I went heavier with the ink in some places and lighter in the other and I LOVE it!

One of my oldest and best friends always greets me with, "Hey, Pumpkin", so this card will be on the way to her!

A+ Teacher

Hi stampers!  Ian started his second year of pre-k yesterday.  He could have started kindergarten but as a really young 5, we didn't think it was the best idea.  He also has some sensory and motor issues so we are working on that.  I think a growth year (obviously not physically since he is in like the 96th percentile for height hahaha) will be so great for him to really succeed in school!

Anyway, I'm pretty sure he's grown sick of me everyday over the summer :-)  He barely told me goodbye and when I asked him how his first day was, he answered with, "it was a piece of cake!"  Ha!

I got the idea for this card from the catalog but changed it up to a regular sized card.  Of course, I forgot to take it with us.  I'm lucky I remembered him, his lunch, and his backpack ;-)  But I really did love this card with the Terracotta Tile gingham DSP!

For my apples, I used sponge daubers to add my color and blend.  I started each one with Daffodil Delight and then blended with Granny Apple Green and Real Red.

Now, will I remember to take this to school with us???  If you need a cute teacher card, this one is great!

Happy stamping!
