Hello Fellow Stampers -
How is everyone! Hope you all had a fabulous weekend and a good start to your week. Miss Sadie and I took some time off this past weekend. It was time to take a break from the crazy schedule around here lately and just do something fun. We spent time at the dog park on Saturday. On Sunday we went to the Funday for Dogs at the Summerset Festival here in Littleton. We met our good friend Amy and her dog, Logan. We went on the Woof Walk, and had pancake breakfast together (even the dogs got pancakes - LOL). We enjoyed the booths meant just for furry friends, where Sadie and Logan enjoyed a doggy ice cream, lots of spoiling, and lots of treats. It was a beautiful day in Colorado, and it was nice to spend time together.
My little one is growing up fast, and I can't believe how big she's getting already. She is a little pistol, that's for sure. But a sweetheart too! I'm anxious to get her to the high country for a hike to enjoy the Aspen trees that are starting to turn very quickly now. Fall is in the air --
It's time to return to the Studio, and do some catchup. It's Paper Players [PP263] challenge time. This week is a Clean and Simple challenge. I've had this card in my head for three weeks, and it was the perfect time to put into paper. I'm excited to pull out another new stamp set, and play.
Doggone Delightful Stampin' Design Tips:
- Layerothology. This card is cut from Whisper White cardstock, 4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2" [a vertical card]. The background layers are Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive. The Old Olive piece is embossed with the Woodland TIEF before being adhered to the Pumpkin Pie cardstock. In the spirit of CAS, there is no additional embellishment. Hard to resist a ribbon or two here or there -- LOL.
- Fall Into Autumn. This adorable little scene is stamped from the Happy Scenes stamp set. I colored it using Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, and Daffodil Delight stampin' write markers from the Brights stampin' write markers collection. The edges have been sponged with Soft Suede and Pumpkin Pie ink. The Leaflets framelits -- how perfect - to frame this little Autumn scene. I think this is just fabulous!! I cut a coordinating leaf from the Kraft corrugated paper and laid the pair over some Gold metallic thread. After some contemplation, I decided to forego a sentiment as I felt it detracted from the simplicity of the card. Sometimes less truly is more. Don't forget a few little pearls! ☺
What do you think of my CAS design today? Are you ready for Fall to arrive? Looking forward to pumpkins and apple cider? I know I am. I'd love to hear from you! Your comments mean a lot to me.
It's off to the rest of the week. I'm in the middle of preparing a project for a Guest Designer spot on Craft Project Central. I'm very excited about this, and look forward to sharing that and much more with you in October. And the end of this week is my Fireside Hearth & Home class. That is going to be a fun class!! Unfortunately, I am sorry to say that the Hearth & Home framelits are on backorder right now. So I hope you got your set already!!
Until Next Time . . .
