Thank you


A super sweet and kind lady Started my day by presenting me with a new blog award...
I was so shocked.....lol
She really has more confidence in me than I deserve in my way of blogging as well as dealing with computer challenges...

Tamra, you are so kind and inspiring, not only in paper crafting but in God's word as well...thank you so much and I am so grateful for joining SCS near 6 years ago . I have met so many wonderful ladies on there ...

So here is my award and I will share it with five women that I think deserve it too as soon as I can learn to link their blogs : ) and share Tamra's blogs with you all too ...

I hope this works, if it does please go check out Tam's blog, she is an amazing lady, full of love and simply an inspiration in so many ways. Her ability to be crafty in so many areas is so encouraging . Plus she is just a delight to know ...

So here is the NEW Autumn Look




Well as I promised, here are some new creations, 2 are from our monthly challenge group...
The scarecrow, isn't he just adorable ? , is a WHIFF OF JOY stamp. I colored him with pencils and used a blender pen to smooth and added a piece of fiber to match, then I popped him up with pop dots after I matted him.
And the thank you card I used the embossed strip on the left , that was from the challenge packet as well.And added a tag I picked up at out local scrap booking store, I tried to match the colors and keep it simple . The card base is textured and I rounded the upper corner to follow the lines of the tag.
The autumn scene is a new embossing folder from Sizzix, I love it... I simply added color with sponges and ink...my first attempt was not great, but I hope to try that some more real soon...

So here are just a few, I know they are not in order, my computer just trips me up every time ! LOL . Maybe I can sneak in a couple of more cards this week ... My week end flew by as a rather large deer decided to bump into me...well really he just tried to wipe me out ... So my car has a lot of bumps and bruises issues... : (

As always , thanks for stopping by, I hope you will do that again. I will try to get more fun stuff up just for you : )

Take care, Be careful. and Bless you all .

I Love Autumn






Well now the colors are really changing, along with the temperatures...
I truly Love Autumn, and usually enjoy making cards that reflect part of the season. I have not made any yet, so I thought I would share some from the years past...And then as I make a few, I will share those and we can all see how my tastes have changed or if there are some things I hang on to ... : )
So I hope you enjoy these cards and will come back to see the new ones... Til then, Autumn Blessings to each of you and maybe you could tell me what you like best about the season of Autumn, and what your favorite technique to use on a card is ...

The first card is Ruby Red and chocolate chip by SU along with a background stamp ... nothing fancy, colored with pencils ...
the second card used an embossing folder and pencils again,
the third card was SIMPLE , just some really pretty dp ,
the fourth card is my favorite, colored pencils and a blender pen plus look close, some sparkle on the pumpkins to look like FROST and some sponging to fill it in a bit : )
and the last one is a 5 x 5 square using more pretty dp, and a leaf cut out and popped up....So nothing too fancy, but they all represent something about Autumn ...
