So Glad We're Friends

It's the weekend, and don't we all just love the weekend? I sure do! The only problem is I try to do way too much and the time just flies. I wish it went that fast when I am at work. Oh well.

I have a couple friends with fall birthdays so I made some fall-like birthday cards today. I just love the look and texture of this line of paper from Daisy Bucket called Sweet Marabella. It's double sided and almost has the texture of wallpaper, but thinner. It's very cool. I decided to pair it up with Stampin' Up! cardstock in Kraft for my card base, Whisper White, and Garden Green. The antique looking brads are by Making Memories, chipboard flower by Maya Road, and orange flower by Bazzill. The sentiment is from Stampin' Up! called Best Yet. It is a hostess stamp set that you get free with $150.00 purchase or more. It is a wonderful set with 6 sentiments including a Christmas one. I've only owned it for a few months now and can't begin to tell you how much I use it!

I have a really simple but elegant Christmas card to show you in my next posting using one of the Sizzix dies in the SU! Holiday Mini. Stay tuned!

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a great weekend!

A Sign of the Season

Hello friends!

Saturday I attended a wonderful and inspiring Women's Retreat at my church. The theme was inner beauty. I met some really nice women and even found a new scrapbooking buddy! God is good!

As I was driving home from the retreat, I couldn't believe the site of some of the leaves on the trees already! They are turning really fast here and it's so beautiful. It's a sure sign of the change in season! I tried to capture the beauty of the season with this card.

I took a plain piece of Stampin' Up! Very Vanilla cardstock and made a 6.5 x 5 inch card. I cut off 2 inches of the cover and adhered the Fall Trees patterned paper by PSX to the remaining 3 inches. I have a gorgeous multi-colored ink pad from Adirondack called "Woodlands". It's perfect for trees and leaves to get that variegated look. I stamped 3 different leaf stamps on the inside of the card on the part you will see from the front. The leaf stamps are from Rubber Stampede and Inkadinkado.

The autumn saying is a Hero Arts stamp I stamped on another piece of Very Vanilla cardstock using the same ink pad as the leaves. I added a couple copper brads from Making Memories and attached it to the card on pop dots. I inked all the edges with the Woodlands ink pad.

Don't forget, World Card Making Day is this Saturday. Be sure to stop by for some fun things I have to share!
