Thankful - A Sampler for Fall

Hi there friends,

For a long time now, I've wanted to make a seasonal sampler.  This year the autumn products in Stampin' Up!'s product line convinced me that now is the time.  I used products from the following stamp sets to create the image panels:  Country Road, Country Home, Falling for Leaves, Many Blessings, and Buffalo Check.   The accent leaves are from the Seasonal Layers Thinlits. 

For those of you that are local to southern Allegheny County PA and the surrounding area, I am thinking of having a workshop to make your own sampler.  Let me know if you would be interested in something like this.

Just A Note

Hi there friends!

Fall arrived here in our neck of the woods over the weekend. It's a bit of a shock to the system!  I guess that means it's time to start putting the outside "toys" away.  It also means more time inside, which in my case, means more stamping time!

Wishing You Well, a new Distinktive stamp set from Stampin' Up! is quickly becoming one of my favorites.  I think the images look so delicate when stamped.  I used another favorite, the Buffalo Check stamp to create my background. I fussy cut the bow and attached it with a Dimensional.  Here is my card for today.
