Hey


It's time to use up all of those left over bits you've been holding on to! Ina is our hostess for Word Week at Just Us Girls and she's looking for 'SCRAPS'. In addition to that, we have a new guest designer for the month of October, Lynn Jardine. Welcome Lynn, so happy to have you joining us!

 

My PTI quilt die is always a good one to reach for when I have little bits and pieces of those 6x6 pads hanging around. I created a warm and cozy fall themed quilt then popped it up on a STAMPlorations wonky stitched background. A simple sentiment was all it needed!

I had just enough of those bits to create one more card!

 
 
* Darlene, I hope you stop back by for the answer to your question, I had no contact info for you.  The paper is from a very old My Mind's Eye 6x6 pad. It's called Lost and Found Collection - Rosy.

I haven't stopped by your blogs for a few days. Last weekend, we got a call that my husband's brother was in the hospital. We quickly gathered our things and made the trip to North Carolina. Sadly, we lost him Wednesday night. 

I'm sure you all had your usual incredible cards on display. I hope you'll forgive me for not trying to play catch-up. Take care and be sure to hug the ones you love.

I'm so sorry about your brother-in-law, Lisa. Your quilt cards are fantastic. When I use that die I just end up with even more scraps. lol Would you believe I even have that multi-colored flowery looking paper you used. That is OLD.

Two beautiful quilt designs Lisa - love the dotted lines embossed background on the first card. So sorry for your families loss.

Both of these are fantastic, Lisa. Before I fell in love with paper crafting, quilting was my craft du jour. The colors and papers you chose are perfect, and I especially love the wonky stitched cover plate on the first card. Fabulous work.
