September Card Buffet

 As summer comes to an end, we start to focus on the upcoming holidays.  I truly miss the changing colors of the leaves that I so enjoyed in Minnesota.  So I love to make cards with colorful leaves, using Stampin' Up's new Vintage Leaves set.  And it's never too early to start thinking about Christmas cards.  Come join in the crafting fun and make some homemade cards to bless your friends and family.

August Card Buffet

I hope everyone has been enjoying their summer.  I can't believe how fast August has flown by.  Kids are returning to school and thoughts return to the upcoming holidays and all the wonderful card opportunities that come with that.  When I had a garden, we were blessed at this time of year with the bounty that a lot of hard work produced.  The first two cards reflect that time with the use of Stampin' Ups new Farmer's Market Designer Series Paper.  So enjoy what is left of summer and get ready to welcome fall!

Labor Day Weekend VCMP!

 
Hello and welcome to my blog.  It's an honor to be a hostess for one of the VCMP challenges.  I hope you have been enjoying being creative, and just maybe you have learned something new along the way.  Since I live in Fort Worth, Texas, I always look forward to Fall.  It comes a little later here then when I lived in Wisconsin and Minnesota.  So my challenge for you is to create a card with a Fall theme, but not a Thanksgiving card.  Use a leaf motif with fall colors - rusts, yellows, golds, red, dark greens, etc.  As you can see below, Sketch #64 is what I chose.  Your card can be an I Love You or I Miss You card, or even a Thinking About You or Thank You.  Can't wait to see what you create!  Have Fun!

My card is created with the Emboss Resist technique.  The leaves were embossed with Pewter embossing powder first onto Vanilla cardstock.  Then the colors are sponged in a random pattern.  The 3.5 x 4.75 panel was put on a Cajun Craze panel and then mounted on a Midnight Muse card.  All products are from Stampin' Up. 

Don't forget to link up your beautiful card with the inlinkz thingy
down below.  And keep on stamping!
