Fall Blessings

 

Autumn arrived last week and the leaves are starting to change with some cooler weather moving in here in Pennsylvania. Time to put away all my summery and springy stamps and pull out fall and winter sets. 

Today starts a new challenge at Inky Paws. The theme is Autumn. All those wonderful oranges, reds, yellows and browns. Yay!!

Today I am doing a bit of coloring blocking with fall colors and Newton's Nook's "Fall Roundabout stamp and their circle frames set.

I hope you join us for our autumn theme challenge at Inky Paws! You have two weeks to play along at Inky Paws!  We will chose a RANDOM entry to win a $20.00 Newton's Nook store gift certificate. Our favorite entries from each challenge will be highlighted the following Monday, so all entries have a chance to be featured on the blog.

The deadline to enter today's challenge is  Friday October 9, 2020 at MN CST. The winners will be announced on the following Monday at Inky Paws.

 

Bubbleishes

YIPEE!!! This is my first challenge as a member of design team of Try Stampin' on Tuesday !! I am honored to part of this talented team of artists.

This week challenge is a sketch.

I rarely take a shower- no don't start running... I take a bath every night. It is the way I relax before I go to bed. I make the water as hot as I can stand and grab a good book and settle in for the next half hour. 

So I had to use an old Penny Black acrylic set- Bubbly bubble and more critters.  To create more of a feeling of bubbles I stamped a variety of circles in various colors and added some bling. What you really cannot see in the photo is the glossy accents over all the tiny bubbles.

What looks good in this image that I am going to so try is a glass of bubbly while soaking in bubbles!

Please join us at Try Stampin' On Tuesday.

It's your Birthday!!

Boy, I am starting to get the hang of one layer cards! I am so proud of myself! Lots of birthday in July besides my own, which we all know is really the only important one! But, I do have to make the effort-hee hee!! :) 

This one layer card is based on the sketch for CASE this sketch and will be for my brother whose birthday is at the end of the month. It is a mix of old and new. The strip down the side is a washi  tape stamp from Inspired by Stamping and the saying is from Simon Says Stamp's Make a Wish. The circles/dots are very old sets from Hero Arts and Memory Box.

I am entering this at Crazy 4 Challenges, a new challenge blog I discovered. The challenge is to "Get Wordy". I think this card fits the bill don't you?

"Anything Goes" that's the challenge at An Inky Situation- especially since my card is just stamps and ink! Talk about back to basics. It sure doesn't get old huh?

I have been taking the cards I make into sets of different colors and will probably work this card up into other color schemes and keep them on hand.

Well I better get out of the studio, the temperature is quickly rising- 89 degrees at 10:00. I have to do all my stamping early in the morning.

Have a great weekend all and stay cool!!!
