Hi friends~  I have a fun, tropical card up over at the CutCardStock blog today.

 

 You'll find more details there and a list of supplies I used to make it.

Falling For Fall

Are you ready for fall?  I do enjoy all things fall, but I know what's around the corner and I'm not ready for that.  

 

Recently we've had extended summer temps, which I've been enjoying and I've been spending as much time as I can outdoors tidying up the flower gardens and collecting seeds from the spent flower heads to plant next year. 

 

 Inside, my craft room is in full swing for fall!  Why is it that mushrooms and leaves just seem to go together?  Add in a few pumpkins and gourds and you have a festive display for fall.  The Autumn Wonder dies from Spellbinders fill this Snow Globe from Honeybee Stamps perfectly.

 

I'm not going to let the dread of winter ruin my love for fall.  Take every moment captive and enjoy today! 

I'll be entering this card into the following challenges:

Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes

Cut It Up ~ Colors of Fall / Autumn

Leaves are Falling, Autumn is Calling ~ Double D Challenge

Double D Challenge is up with a new challenge, and the theme is Fall Leaves.

I happily pulled out some older sets to make this card.  I started by embossing the front panel using the Falling Leaves embossing folder from Spellbinders, which just happens to be the prize that we're giving away to the winner of this challenge.  I cut a piece of journal cardstock using a Stitched Scalloped Nested Rectangle from Gina Marie Designs.  I stamped a leafy image from PTI's Forest Floor, on the left side of the journal card.

The stamped sentiment is from Echo Park Fall Memories with the addition a trio of Small Stitched Leaves from Lawn Fawn cut from scraps found in my scrap box.

I can't wait to see how you're inspired by this wonderful mood board that Darlene put together.

Here's the prize you could win when you play along:

Fall Plaid ~ Double D Challenges

Good morning friends~  There's a new challenge starting up over at Double D Challenges and the theme is "Fall Plaids".

I found all the die cuts and plaid paper in my box of scraps.

In Focus:

The barrel and rake are both from Marianne Designs.  The pumpkin is from Memory Box and the leaves are a combination of Spellbinders and Lawn Fawn.  The sentiment is from Just Rite Stamps.  I sure do miss that company!

 

Not a single new piece of paper was harmed in the making of this card.  haha!   I love making cards using up leftovers from my scrap boxes. 

I do hope you'll visit Double D Challenges to see more amazing inspiration from the talented design team.

Here's the inspiration photo:
