Fast Fall

Tick...tick...tick...tick....ever have short time but need a card or need some crafty relief?  Well this week's FUN ABC (Absolutely Beautiful Cards) Challenge is all about Fast and Fun cards.  There are just times in every crafters schedule that we need quick and cute.  For me,  when I need it to be speedy,  I grab a sketch and use whatever supplies are already out.   The sketch is Mojo Monday #264 & some Fall colored paper I already had on the desk.   It took me 17 minutes.     This week our Challenge is to make a Fast Fall Card or Halloween in a Hurry Card.   You have 30 minutes,  see what you can come up with ...

Check out the other ABC Design Team Halloween In a Hurry or Fast Call Cards!

Prime Time Fall

Today we just couldn't resist spending the day enjoying 60 degree temps, sunshine and beautiful Fall colors.  It felt like the PERFECT  Fall day.   We went out to a pumpkin farm, picked apples and enjoyed a walk along the river in the park.  I think Fall is one of my favorite seasons.   This week is a new beginning for me as I've been invited to join the DT for ABC "All Beautiful Cards" Challenge Blog.   Our challenge this week is to use something "new" - technique, tool or idea.  This card includes some new Halloween Washi Tape and I used my new Leaf Die.  Be sure to come and play along with the fun challenges Patty has planned for everyone.   We love to see what you create!     Check out the "New" Inspiration from the other DT Members:

Happy Place

Hello from Memphis, TN.  This week I'm here for a couple days of meetings.   Looking forward to seeing some team mates I haven't seen in a while and hearing about some new processes we have coming soon!  It's all good.    This sentiment seemed so appropriate for this week as I'm really trying to pay attention that life is good right now and to enjoy it.   This cute card was from some Basic Grey paper that was PIF'd to me and I wanted to use it for a last "Hooray to Summer".   I cased this card from a "favorite" over at sb.com.   I hope you are enjoying a "happy place" this week.   Enjoy!

coffee anyone?

brrrr....it's getting chilly here in the evenings as Fall has arrived w/ all the beautiful color it can bring!  I love Fall.  I don't mind the chilly nights either ... it does however put me especially in the mood for afternoon Pumpkin Spice Latte's from Starbucks.  Yes, I'm one of those people that love the Fall menu and crave the pumpkin.  (Gasp!) I heard last week they had a momentary shortage ... but so far they've had supply when I've stopped. 

This cute image was sent to me from Terry as it's our SCS UnIdentified Image Swap for October.  Isn't she cute?  she's from MFT, 'a la modes Miss You a Latte.   The sketch is from Raise The Bar Challenge #114.   This week Paper Players #116 challenge is "cup of joy" ... this does it for me!

   P-E-R-F-E-C-T  sketch for scraps ... love it!   I'm always looking for great ways to use small, pretty pieces of paper I haven't wanted to throw away, LOL!   I'll definitely use this sketch again.  These scraps are from some Basic Grey "Hello Lucious" papers.

miss me?

Unfortunately for the last week I've been without a computer, mine crashed.   It was not a good thing and it felt like it put me way behind for work but fortunately the Tech Support Guys were able to get it fixed and I'm feeling happy that I'm back to the world of "online".  

I actually made this card for my nephew as he was stationed in another State and I kept forgetting to ask for his address.   I was writing him weekly while he was in Basic Training.  I think he'll be happy to get cards and letters again.   At least he'd written he liked them?   This Cute Stamp was PIF'd to me,  isn't it darling?  I made one of these cards for the gal that gave me the stamp too!   This cute sketch is this week's retro sketch #32. 

Supplies:  Paper jillybean soup, Stamp Stampendous Box of Fluffles, CTMH Alpha, AMuse Studio Button, SU Twine
