Rainy Day.....Wednesday

It's a wonderfully cool and rainy day today!  Baking banana bread and working on stamping projects.  Doesn't get better than this!

I'm going to workout with my son soon, but wanted to quick post a photo of the project I will be doing at our South Stamp-a-stack on Thursday night.

I SO love autumn.  The smell in the air, the colors, everything about it except ONE thing....yes, you guessed it.....winter follows. 

 
This is another card with the Wonderfall Set.  The DSP is the yummy Orchard Harvest from the holiday mini. 
 
Stamps:  Wonderfall (acorn)
Day of Gratitude (grateful)
Ink: Early Espresso, More mustard
Accessories: Bitty Banners and Autumn Accents Dies
Wood Grain, Square Lattice and Spider Web Embossing Folders
The little curly cues were made by slicing tiny narrow pieces of card stock.  Some I curled like this one around the end of a paint brush and others I just left with the gentle curl that happens naturally when you cut the paper that thin.
I put crystal effects on the lower portion of the acorn for a little shine.
 
Enjoy!

Welcome to my new blog

I have been putting this off for a long time, but have decided that now is the time for me to enter the blogging world.  I have the blog feature on my Stampin' Up! website, but it seems limited compared to what I see on other's blogs.  I hope to update this one more often now that I have a bit more time on my hands.  I quit working my full time "day job" the end of May.  I wanted to be able to spend more time with my family and devote more time to my Stampin' Up! business without working late into the nights as I have been. Please hang with me while I try to learn all that is necessary to make this blog interesting and informative for you, my readers. I'll begin by posting a photo (still need a photo box) of the cards that were made at my last class here at the house.  The pink one was partially CASE'd from an Australian Blogger, Teneale Williams.  I really love her work.  The bird card was a CASE from a swap I received at convention in July.  The o

Wonderfall

I love fall and I love leaves.  Fall colors are so warm and rich.  So, when Stampin' Up! came out with the new Wonderfall bundle with the stampset and the matching dies, I couldn't wait to get it and try it out.  This is the first project I made with it.  MMMM, love the added sparkle from the new Champagne Shimmer paper! Button was from my "stash".  Hope you enjoy! Inside:  Verse was printed on the computer. Supplies use: PAPER:  Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Early Espresso, Cajun Craze, More Mustard, Champagne Shimmer STAMPS - Wonderfall and Teeny Tiny Wishes INK: Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze, Cherry Cobbler, Soft Suede, Early Espresso, More Mustard The technique is called "Plaid".  Instructions for that are:  Ink your stamp (in this case the leaf) in the lightest color (in the case, pumpkin pie).  Then, using the next darkest color (in the case Cajun Craze) just use the very edge of your in pad, angling so just the narrow knife edge touc
