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.

Oh Lisa, I'm so sorry you had to make a trip to NC for such a sad occasion. Your quilt pieces are so pretty! Beautiful colors and the stitched background is perfect for displaying a quilt block!
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.
Beautiful and cozy, just right to warm a heart!
So sorry to hear about your brother-in-law! Blessings to you and the family, and I pray that you are all doing okay. Don't worry about missing us, just come back as you can, when the timing is right!
I just had this die in my hand the other day but you have made such a gorgeous card with yours! I love the patterns and how the colours look so good together. Beautiful!
Oh, Lisa, I am so sorry to hear of the sudden passing of your loved one. I don'r venture onto blogland often anymore, but I will say it is always a treat to see what you have posted and your cards are so beautiful. I love the paper combinations and colors...just gorgeous. Keeping you and your family in my thoughts.
Lisa, your quilt cards capture 'cozy' perfectly; they're beautiful and a wonderful way to 'dress up' scraps.

Loooooooooove your beautiful quilt cards Lisa and what a perfect way to show off those lovely scraps. Great background (I have that one). They are a Winner!
I am in love with these cards! I have this die and love the results you get with it. I just started quilting so this one really caught my eye. I love the colors and patterns. Beautiful cards!
Wow! Those paper quilt cards are so pretty, Lisa! I love the mix of patterns and colors.
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.
And PS, I just read the bottom of your post. I am so sorry about the passing of your brother-in-law. Wishing you and your family peaceful hearts. xx
Oh, Lisa...these cards are beautiful (truly) but my heart is hurting for you and your family right now. I'm so very sorry for your loss. Sending much love and prayers your way!
Dear Lisa, I'm so sorry for your loss. Glad you were able to get there. I adore your quilt cards--beautiful way to use those papers!
Love your Card! May I ask what paper you used? Thanks
