    Fall color Bulbs and Kitties for you this week.

    Fall color Bulbs and Kitties There is so much color this year. Have you been enjoying it too?? Today is about Fall color Bulbs and Kitties. Starting off with the Fall color. Here is the Sugar Maple showing off. Amazing how the color is around the top… as if it is not quite ready to let go. However I think my favorite is the different colors as this tree turns. AMAZING!! Apparently this Maple did not want to be missed either. It is almost as red as the Burning Bushes. Humm, I did I show you those yet?? Just wait. This tree is off the deck. This was my view…

    Fall Card 3 Holiday Stamp Camp

    Fall Card 3 Holiday Last month this Fall Card – 3 Holiday Stamp Camp was just one of 6 cards that the ladies made. Using a couple of the 2019-2021 In-Colors Pretty Peacock and Terracotta Tile. Do you look at a stamp set and wonder now what to do with it?? I went back to last years cards to be sure that there were no duplicates. Check out this post from last year. This returning favorite and one of my favorites Gather Together bundle. Has embossed leaves, the big maple leaf pumpkins and a sprig of wheat. This sentiment is a favorite.

    This or That for flowers and leaves.

    This or That flowers or leaves?? Have you played This or That?? Well back in September we did for Coffee and Cards. I had soo much fun. Here is how it started. I had two cardstock piles neutrals or colors. Gave the “folks” that joined, a choice. Next we stepped it down one more time. The colors you see here or there were greens and oranges. All were fun fall-ish colors and coordinated GREAT!! Any would have worked for either This or That Flowers, Leaves. You know where they took it. Next?? Flowers or Leaves?? Flowers was by far the winner. YEAH!! Small Bloom punch you know it is a…

    You are Wonderful – Slimline, Rooted in Nature.

    You are Wonderful Slimline. I love how the “You are Wonderful (Slimline)” sentiment fits inside the big tree die. Grab your Stampin’ Blends out to color your leaves. The Plaid Tidings DSP helped me pick with colors to use. The brisk weather the last couple days is getting me ready for the fall cards. How about you?? I shared how to create this card on a Facebook live here. All that you need for this one is the Rooted in Nature stamp set, Nature’s Roots dies and cardstock to match your plaid that you picked. The twine and ribbon combo is one of my favorites. Wrap your Linen Thread around…

    Challenge GDP#213 To Every Season

    Hummm, Can you tell what the challenge is this week?? haha. You got it, a color challenge. Old Olive, Lovely Lipstick and Smoky Slate is the combination. I could have easily went with a Christmas card, but… Nope, you know me, I like to make a challenge a true challenge. Although Fall really was not a huge stretch either. I was even thinking of doing a sympathy card but not with Lovely Lipstick. I guess I am old school, no red for sympathy. Have you gotten the To Every Season (150531)?? Not yet?? why not? This stamp set is a Bundle (153051) too!! I am loving the little punches. That…
