Gratitude for Autumn Splendor

Today's post is a Thanksgiving card that I absolutely love. First, the Stampin' Up!
set, Autumn Splendor, is a gorgeous fall set. I love the beautiful leaves in it. Second, I used the Day of Gratitude set for the sentiment, and the new Decorative Label punch to add interest. Third, the background is the amazing Presto Patterns DSP, which when you add color, you get a gorgeous emboss resist look. Lastly, I finished it off with a button, just cuz. Lookie:

What do you think? Isn't it pretty? If you want to make this, just let me know, and
we can make it together. I just love this time of year, even though we don't usually get much color down here in the Sunshine State. Lucky for me, I can make my own colors with Stampin' Up!

Thanks for visiting today. Now go stamp something.

Give Thanks

Today's post is appropriate. I am so thankful for my daughter feeling better, for my
wonderful son, husband, and all the other wonderful people in my life. I think I have managed to surround myself with the most wonderful people, family and friends, including my online ones. Thank you all so much for being there.

Now, here is the card:



Sorry about the picture, not sure why it is blurry on the one side.

I made this last night about 11pm, for today's workshop. I love the colors, and wanted it fairly simple for new stampers, but they got to use the Big Shot a couple of times on this one. Stampin' Up's exclusive Top Note die is awesome, as is the Sizzlet Tag set.

Thanks for coming and bearing with me the last couple of days.

Autumn Days.......Everywhere But Here

Today's post is a card we made at my uplines house last month. I love this Faux Tearing technique. It is so easy and yet adds so much. I used the Autumn Days set for this card. What a gorgeous set. I will be sharing this card with some friends on
Thursday morning and teaching them this easy technique.



Colors used are Really Rust, Sahara Sand Cardstocks, and Really Rust Ink.
The background stamp is En Francais, and the sentiment is from the Thank You Kindly set.

As I have said before, we don't get alot of Autumn here, but I love the colors and
have to make my own Fall. We have had a couple of cooler (80's) windy days here due
to Tropical Storm Ida milling around out in the Gulf, but tonight the AC is on and it
is November. Geez!

Anyway, thanks for dropping in, please come back soon. And leave a comment if you
don't mind, sometimes I think I am talking to myself on here.
