Happy Fall!

I love the fall colors! 

Sunshine on the fall colors is a plus. 

We could use more sunshine but the leaves are still so pretty even though they are past the peak. 

I stamped with friends today and we all chose fall cards! 

This is the one that I did.

This is one of the ones I entered into the Mission contest this month. Haven't heard the results yet.

This one was Bonnie's. 

This one was Bonnie's. Yup, there are two Bonnies. 

She used a napkin for the main image. Very neat. 

This one was Carol's.

This one was Kathy's.

The pictures don't do them justice. 

It was a fun day of stamping and thought I would share the neat ideas with you. 

Now, off to get going on the Stamp Along cards! 

The hostess code this month is

Thank you!

Thinking of You!

Even though the holidays are very close we always need to have the 

Thinking of you cards for our friends

that just need a little cheering up for one reason or another. 

Here is one that is very quick and easy. 

The saying is from the hostess set on page 201 in the Annual catalog. 

The bubbles come from the Playful Backgrounds set on page 121.

This is another Christmas one and it also uses the Time of Year hostess set. 

It also uses the Peaceful Pines set.

The Cable Knit folder is a step up from other folders. 

Just come and try it out to see what I mean. 

Hope to see you at the Stamp Along on Monday!

Merry Christmas!

Even though Christmas is still a ways off, we need to start our cards, if we haven't already. 

I do know some people that have theirs all ready to go in the mail already. 

I don't even have an idea for my own yet! 

I am a do it in December person. 

When do you do your cards? Do you have yours all ready to go? 

I always have to wait because I am afraid that a better idea might come along. 

I also like to send them at the last minute. I don't want anyone sending me a card because they got one from me. 

Here are a few that will be at the Stamp Along next Monday. October 10.

This one uses the cookie cutter punch and is from the set that bundles with the punch for the 10% savings. The ones that were on the last post are from the add on set for Halloween. I am sure that you will be seeing more of these next month but that punch is going to be busy enough with these for this month. These little gingerbread cookies, still on the cookie sheet, can be an Anniversary card just as easily as a Christmas card.  My cookie sheet is made from the brushed silver card stock that we used to carry. We now have the silver foil but I am determined to use some of my stash before it makes me move out. I hope you don't mind. 

This one is also using the discontinued brushed card stock. This time the copper. I really liked that card stock which is the reason that I still have some. I haven't used much of the discontinued items in the past but have recently decided to share them with you rather than let them take up space here. 

Isn't that pine cone neat? 

I like the black board technique for the angel also. I wasn't looking forward to coloring her so this is the perfect solution. 

This one is just in the "cute" category. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Fall!

Here is another one of those cute characters from the Cookie Cutter Halloween set. 

Which one of the four is your favorite? 

Check yesterday's post to see the other three. 

Here is another fall card. 

Thinking of you is such a popular theme. You can send it to anyone for any occasion. 

Better yet, you can send it for no occasion at all. 

Do you like to get a card in the mail? 

These will both be available at the Stamp Along next Monday. 

Hope to see you there. 

Happy Halloween!

There are just too many cute stamps to not make Halloween cards!

Some of these could be Fall cards if you don't send Halloween ones. 

On this first one, you can choose either the Wisteria Wonder or the Pumpkin Pie as your background color. It is a Z fold card and the black strip is glimmer paper but it sure doesn't show up very well on here. 

Which one do you like the best?

These are two more of the cute characters in the set. Very easy to do with the punch.

Thank you to those of you that came to Schroeder's today for the Paper Pumpkin get together and to make a card for World card day!  We had fun doing the Paper Pumpkin kit and sharing ideas.  This is one of the cards that we did.  It will be available for you to do at the Stamp Along.  The stamp set is the one that came with the Paper Pumpkin and makes pumpkins, jack o lanterns, sun, sunflowers and has four sayings. It is a very nice set for fall cards.  You can also make it into a Halloween card.  The swirl on the cards is from Falling Flowers set.  I have also added some other card stock and DSP that you can use on your card.  If you would like to come to our next Paper Pumpkin gathering, it will be on October 29.  You can still get in on the BOGO free if you sign up before October 10.

Thanks for stopping by.
