Fall for FMS

It seems like forever since I've had time to enter a card challenge. Life does get busy sometimes! But I took a minute yesterday to get crafty and this is the card I came up with using Karren's fun sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches.

I already had a piece of PTI Soft Stone card stock all dolled up with this cute Concord & 9th cover plate. The MB paper was cut then added to the bottom for the diagonal portion of the sketch. The fall leaves are new over at Poppystamps. It's a Nordic set, but I opted to use just one layer here. The sentiment set, in it's first outing, is one I picked up on sale at PTI... last year I think! I love the way it looks on this pretty little PPP tag cut from vellum.

Okay, I'm off and running again. It's a pretty sunny day, a good one for washing  and vacuuming my car! Thank for stopping by, I appreciate it so very much!

Just Us Girls #748 ~ It's a Wonderful Day

 

Hey there! We have a new word challenge up at Just Us Girls for you. Stephanie has chosen LEAVES, so perfect for this time of year. They're beginning to show some beautiful color here in Northeast Ohio. The leaves on my card aren't your usual fall colors, but they're pretty fun!

I recently picked up this sweet leaf die from Pinkfresh. It seemed to be telling me to reach for some polka dots and gingham. Okay! A pretty little PTI frame was cut from ivory cardstock. The leaves were arranged with an old PTI label die and a sentiment by Carta Bella. I just love those polka dot leaves!

I look forward to seeing how the word LEAVES inspires you. I think there will be lots of pretty cards falling into our gallery!

I have a fun little project I created for Sweet P over on the Poppystamps blog today. If you have a minute or two, pop on over to check it out. Here's a peek at some of the components!

Just Us Girls #747 ~ Thankful

Hey there! It's time for a new challenge at Just Us Girls. It's also a new month and that means we have a new guest designer. Welcome, Kerry Parkinson, we're happy to have you joining us!

This is color week and I'm hosting! I had an old piece of October Afternoon (remember them?) paper in my stash that gave me a pretty color combination to pass along to you. Here's what I've done with it.

Using a PPP die, I cut a stitched banner than adhered it to a rustic cream card base. When reaching for my PPP fall dies, I found the leaf and pumpkin already cut from chartreuse paper! I added one more leaf to the collection then topped things off with WF sentiments. A few little rhinestones completed the picture. 

I love the way this turned out and I love this paper! I hope I've inspired you to join us this week. Thanks for stopping by!

Just Us Girls #746 ~ Happy Fall

 

It's time for a new challenge at Just Us Girls... stencils, anyone?  I had a small arched panel already cut and stenciled with bricks, so I was determined to put it to use!

I stenciled (WF) more of those little bricks onto another panel then added more interest with this cute Concord & 9th stitched card front die. I popped that arch on then added the fall cuteness. A fun little raccoon (SBJ), sentiment, pumpkins and leaves (PPP) and a grassy border (IO) all played well together!

This is our guest designer, Nance Salkeld's final week guesting with us. We've loved having you, Nance. Thanks so much for joining us this past month!

Alrighty, it's your turn now. I can't wait to see what stencil you choose this week!
