Happy Fall

Good Morning.  I don't know about you but I can't believe it is the end of September.  The weather is getting cool and some of the trees are changing colors.  I love it!!!

Today is the Going Grey with Scrap Creations challenge.  Keeping with the time of year the theme is Fall!!  I couldn't wait to use my fall colors.  We have a great sponsor this week. Fred She Said!!!   Anyone who follows my blog knows I love her images.  Two posts ago I used one for my mothers birthday card.  Her flowers are elegant and beautiful.    She was nice enough to let the DT's pick out an image to use.  I loved this one.  I always print out 2 digi's when I first color them just in case I don't like the way one is coming out so after I colored this image I colored the sunflowers on the 2nd image and cut them out so I could put them on other places on the card.   

The other wonderful challenges this card fits are:

The Corrosive - Clean up the Dust, Use old craft stuff - My orange dots are from last year along with my saying. 

Paper Sundaes - Fall Colors - I had fun pulling out my fall colored copics for this card.

Secret Crafter - Anything Goes - I love this theme!   I  know I can let my imagination run wild.

Stamp Something - Digi's - I love digi's and this one from Fred She Said is beautiful.

Alphabet Challenge - U=Unused Stash - My unused stash is the orange pearls, the leaf punch and the fench punch.  None of these I have used much even though I love them all.

Delightful Challenge - Pumpkins - I love coloring pumpkins and I love them on this image


Stamp Magic - Autumn Colors - I love this card and I think it is because of the colors that I have not used in a long time.

Stamping Sisters in Christ - Fall Colors - I love the change of seasons and the colors that come with it.  I loved using my oranges and greens on this card.

Friends

Good Morning.  I hope everyone is having a good weekend.  This is the last day of my vacation.  Tomorrow it is back to work but vacation was wonderful.  The spa treatments were great, the food was amazing and we got some shopping done at the outlets.  I just wish I could have stayed longer.

Today's theme at Stempeltraume is Bows!  A nice and easy theme that everyone should be able to play in.
I wanted a simple bow so I put the flat bow on the side of the card.  I was playing around with it and realized that if I made alot of little bows it would look like a flower so that's what I did.

Happy Birthday

Good Morning.  I hope everyone had a nice long weekend.  I did.  The weather was perfect.  Dry and in the 70's.  I did some shopping Sunday with my sisters and my niece at a nice seaside town called Newburyport.  It has small shops with something for everyone.  Saturday and Monday I relaxed and did some stamping.   My idea of a perfect weekend!!! 

Today is the Going Grey with Scrap-Creations challenge.  The theme today is to make a Children's themed card.  How easy is that!   We have a wonderful sponsor this week too!    The Wild Flower Patch Shop  ! So I say pull out those children stamps and play.  You can win!!

We have some other exciting news at Going Grey with Scrap-Creations. We have 2 new DT's.  Kristine Breach and  Marie Bridgema.    Please visit them and give them a warm welcome.  We are excited to have them as part of our team.  

The Wild Flower Patch Shop were nice enough to offer the DT's some images to pick from and I picked this clown.  I thought this would be fun to color and it was!  I also used my new Pearl Pens from Viva.  I love these.  I have 2 colors and now I want them all.  It is so easy to make pearls of any size and I love my pearls!!!  I didn't have the red so I used my white pen and colored them with copics.  I was so excited that it worked.

You should also check out the work from our other DT's listed on my sidebar.   You can see their wonderful work with the other images.
