Two-for-One Challenge: Feeling Autumnal

Serendipity! I made this card yesterday for the Create with Connie and Mary color challenge and woke up to discover that it kind of fits the Clean & Simple sketch #216 scallop challenge too 🙂 Since I haven’t made nearly enough fall/autumn cards, I was very pleased with how it turned out and the champagne glimmer paper makes me so very warm inside:

I adore the Autumn Accents Die for the Big Shot to make my own leaves and I used the Simply Scored to give the leaves veins. The DSP is from the Comfort Cafe package.  

It was so fun to create last night, but here is what my desk looks like this morning:

And my kids think there should be food in the fridge, so I guess I’ll be cleaning and shopping today instead of crafting 😦 As my Father-in-Law is fond of saying, “Just when you teach ’em to eat dirt, they up and die on you.” No bueno!

Holiday Stamp Camp Sneak Peek #2

Another “sneak peek” at one of the projects we’ll be making at the Holiday Stamp Camp! Why, you may ask, am I just showing a part of the project? I’ll answer a question with a question: “Why do they just give you a small sample at the grocery store?”

I can promise you’ll leave the Holiday Stamp Camp as stuffed with creative ideas for the holidays as though you had just eaten Thanksgiving dinner (not to mention just as satisfied)!

Season of Thanks

At convention in July, Stampin’ Up! unveiled Phase II of the Decor Elements line~and since Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, I had to create this shadowbox for the season! It took me about 10 minutes to create 🙂
