There's this wet stuff....

Hey y'all!! I believe that stuff is called RAIN!  and weatherman talking about a cold front...YAY!  so ready for Fall!!

So, with Fall on my mind, I made this:

I used brushos on this.  And the new StampTV kit, Autumn Wishes from Gina K Designs.  Totally this kit AND so love these powders of color!  You just add water!  I like seeing the little spots of color myself.  Adds character to it, IMO.  And you never know whatcha gonna get, just like a box of chocolates, hahaha! Same with me, never know what you gonna get, lol!

Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope I inspired you to see all of the beauty out in this world...I know its getting harder and harder to find, but its worth the search for it!  Listen to me trying to be oh so....i cant even think of the word I want, ha!

I had some last minute ideas...that would not go away, so I got them made and now changing from what I  had wrote up already, lol!  Here is my first card to share with you:

I was going for a pile of leaves falling out of the wheelbarrow...and yes, I cut out all of those leaves with the die!  It really didnt take that long.  I krinkled them up too and then sponged Vintage Photo distress ink on it trying to look like the crinkly leaves of winter!  :D  Fall/Autumn is my most favorite time o year...all the colors are breath taking!!   Ok, got one more to show:

 For this card I cut  a strip of acetate by stamping the floral image onto  it.  with Stayz On ink.  Super Easy  card!

Gina K Designs Inspiration Blog Hop for August, 2015 Release!

Hey y'all!!  Welcome to my humble little blog!  :D

   

StampTV kit – Autumn Wishes

Individual set names – Autumn Wishes, Friends to the End

Here are a few things I have made with kit:

I just LOVE the little bees in this kit!  :D

This being our Autumn kit as we are calling it, you expected a Fall time one, right?  Well, Im thinking my mojo wanted some Spring time in this one.  The DP papers are actually tissue paper that you put in gift bags!  I glued onto the cardstock base.  I love the colors black, yellow and gray together!  Super easy and fun card to make!  And I also used the little bees ...again..!  This time buzzing in to say H E L L O!!

I tried this card several different ways before I finally called it DONE.  omg this card took me forever to complete.  I toned down the yellow on the bottom area with putting some dotted vellum over it and I think, although I do love yellow, it was a bit too much!  LOL!   Ok,  on to my fellow DT!!

Ready for more awesome creations?

For Today, Ive made a bunch of goodies!  I made a little deskstop gift set for a teacher.  I do so understand how crazy the first days are so to me, giving them a gift on the first day, telling them THANK YOU for everything you will be doing in this upcoming year! I used Melanie's Just So Sporty stamp set too, and only realize tonight it was retired!  I apologize for that!  I do so love how the sets work together so well though!
