Thanks!

I have fall on the brain and am enjoying crafting with all the associated colours...not quite ready for the reds and greens of Christmas just yet. I used my new PTI wood grain impression plate on this one. Fun!

AUTUMN

Today is the perfect fall day in Calgary...warm, sunny, and bursting with beautiful colours. Only fitting that I share my Autumn banner with you!

I made this last night. I was feeling crafty but a card just wasn't coming to me. I had been meaning to try making a banner for some time. I hung it in front of the window in my craft room in hopes I will change it out with the seasons.

Papers are from the Basic Grey Mellow line. The oranges, greens, and brown were perfect. The ribbon is PTI Orange Zest and the letters were cut from the Cricut Storybook cart.

Thanks for peeking!

Happy Saturday.

I made these cards last weekend, playing along with last week's Loonie Stampers Challenge. It was so grey and rainy all week I didn't have a chance to photograph. It's still grey and rainy but I took a pic today anyways.

Love the yummy fall colour combo of this challenge. I don't have the Harvest Gold colour so subbed with Summer Sunrise and added a touch of green too. Here's a shot of the "brown" card.

Thanks for peeking!

Well, hello there!

It's Labour Day and for me, this final long weekend marked the end of summer. It wasn't the greatest summer on record but I did manage to get away twice and enjoyed the break from the school and sports routine that is our life 10 months of the year. Now, it seems, we are right back at it.

I wish I had something crafty to share with you but the truth is I spent my weekend in the kitchen instead of the craft room. After weeks of BBQ-ing It felt great to cook, and the freezer is well on the way to being stocked with some frozen meals and baked goodness.

I thought I would share some fun cookies I made today. Oatmeal sandwiches with oreo filling. YUM!

I love it when there are cookies in the cookie jar!

I hope you had a fantastic long weekend and thanks for popping in. I really do hope to be back with something crafty soon!!

Enjoy

Hello,

I'm back from vaca but still have a few cards to share that I made while away. This is one of them. The flower stamp is Hero Arts and the sentiment is PTI.

I swear it took longer to cut out that flower than colour it!

Thanks for peeking.

LSC #103...Text, Yellow, and Kraft!

I had some time today while waiting for my car to get fixed (it just needed a new battery thank goodness), so I played along with last week's Loonie Stamper's Challenge.

Normally I am not a lover of the yellow (although it seems to be the colour of the day around here), but after seeing it with kraft I have a whole new outlook. I was especially inspired by Wendy's card and just so happened to have some of that dotty biscotti dp with me here on vacation.

And because I am addicted to kraft card bases I made another while I had everything out.

These two cards are for two very special ladies in my life. One of whom may, or may not be, a Loonie herself.

Thanks for visiting!!

Lemons!

I am still away on vacation with my car in a mechanics shop as it wouldn't start yesterday. YIKES! I am hoping it's only a battery problem, and better now than on the way home.

Into every life a few lemons must fall, I suppose, but I'd like mine with a side of sugar please.

(And a card in honour of the occasion).

Thanks for peeking!
