Autumn Thank You Card

Hello, stampers! Summer season is almost over and we're into the fall season soon. I love fall. I love the leaves when they turn to different shades of colours. Everywhere I go there is beautiful colours around me. That's the beauty of God's creation. Just thinking about fall gives me the inspiration to make this card.

I used the leaf and acorns from the Gently Falling stamp set, Weathered stamp for the background and the Because I Care stamp for the sentiment to make this card. Very simple. Hope you like it.

Have good day! Happy Stamping!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian readers! Hope you are having a wonderful thanksgiving dinner with your family. Yummy turkey, mash potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes with marshmallow on the top...mmmm. Writing this is making me hungry. It wont be until 6 more hours before we get to eat our turkey dinner.

What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving? I'm thankful for a Saviour who died on the cross for my sin, my immediate family- a husband who cooks and works hard to provide for our family and not perfect but obedient kids, my extended family, friends, my blogger readers and many more. I can write a long list of things to be thankful for but I'll stop here. There are much to be thankful for.

Last week was crazy busy. I finally finished altering 11 skirts and dresses for a lady, finished the cards my sister requested a few months back and I go to school now. Ha, not the schooling you are thinking about. I don't homeschool my kids anymore but I help out at the Christian School they are attending about 2-3 days a week. No, I'm not a teacher either and glad I'm not. So lesser time for me to stamp these days. I do admire those who work everyday and still able to stamp and blog.

Thank you for stopping by today! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Fall Leaves

Happy Tuesday, everyone! Beautiful Fall day today. Sunny but chilly.

I made this card for a challenge that I never entered into. I had fun making it though. I stamped the leaves from the French Foliage stamp set and cut them out. Crumble them up and adhere them onto the card. Each layer of the bow was made separately and assemble together. The rest of the card is pretty much self explanatory.

I've been busy making some awesome projects that I can't wait to show you. I'll tell you more about it another time. But for now I got to get my kids school subjects scan and send to the teacher.

Have a good day and thank you for stopping by!

Happy Stamping!

Stamping 411 Sketch Challenge #221 and SUO Challenge 28, Fall Colors

                                                           

Here a Sketch Challenge #221 over at Stamping 411. My first time joining in on the fun.
I'm also joining in on the SUO Challenge 28. This is also my first time joining the challenge at this site. Hope this is ok to post 1 card for 2 different places.

I love the fall season so here is a card I made using the French Foliage stamp set again. I did the Faux Tearing Technique for the background. I tore a piece of scrap paper, put on the white card stock and then stamp away. I sponge the edges before I take the paper off. This technique makes nice background paper to match the colours you need for your creations.

Thank you for stopping by!

Faux Tearing Fall Leaves

Hi, stampers! Hope you all had a wonderful Labour Day long weekend. We went to Seattle on Friday and visited the Pacific Science World (I think that's the name) and the Pike street Public Market Place. We didn't know it closes at 5pm so we didn't get to see much of the market place. We stayed overnight in Tulalip and went home on Saturday. Went dim sum and shop in China Town and did some preparing for school on Monday. That was my long weekend. Not very exciting.

Today my kids started their first day of school. They did well until their friends kept ringing and knocking on the door every 30 minutes (literally) to ask if my kids could come out to play. Well, my kids are home school so they do a full day of school. They don't have the same schedule as the public school kids. No playing until they finished their lessons. I have to be tough with them. lol

Anyway, on to the card. I did the faux tearing technique for the background on a light colour card stock. Add some elements and the card was done. Very simple technique.

Thank you for visiting today!

Supplies:
stamps- French Foliage, Faith in Nature
papers- crushed curry, dusty darango, naturals ivory
inks- dusty darango, crushed curry, soft suede, crumb cake, ruby red, always artichoke
accessories- 1/8" taffeta ribbon, polka-dots grosgrain ribbon, word window punch, modern label punch, sponge

Happy Stamping!

Foliage Thank You

Hello, everyone! Happy Friday! I guess I should say happy Saturday. It was a busy day and I never got around to post this. I made this "thank yous" for my sister. She want something unisex and that is hard to do as most of my stamps are flowers. She loved this one so I'm making them for her.

Well, I better go and get some sleep. Saturday is another busy day for me. Thank you for stopping by! Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Stamping!

Nursery Meeting Decorations

Here are some pictures I took of the decorations. Not very fancy but I like it. Wish they have different colour table cloths for me to choose from.

I bought the center piece from Superstore (a Canadian supermarket).


I spread all the leaves on the table and I made pumpkins too to go on the table.


Here a close up of the pumpkins. Each pumpkin has 12 scallop circles or scallop ovals. I sponge each and everyone of them. It took me a long time to punch, glue and sponge all these pumpkins. I glad it is over. All the ladies loved the decorations. They were over joy when I let them take everything home. They literally took everything. Except the center piece that belongs to the church.

Thank you for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

For those of you who emailed me for the template for the holder I'll email you it to you when I get a chance to put it into the computer. I have to wait for my DH to help me with that. He's the computer pro in the family.

Happy Stamping!

Cutlery Holder

Hello, everyone! Happy Friday! Today is a very busy day for me. I'm babysitting and after that I'll be going to a Nursery Meeting at night. So what's all those things in the above picture? They are cutlery holders. This was what I was talking about for the pass few days.


I made these to decorate for the Nursery Meeting. I made the pattern to hold a fork, a knife and a spoon. What do you think? You like? I love this holder!


Here is how it looks like with the cutlery in it.


Here is a close up of the front of the holder. The leaves are die cut. I sponged the leaves in Chocolate Chip ink and my fingers looked all brown after I don't know how many leaves I sponged. I made leaves to go on the table also so I'll show you that tomorrow.


Happy Stamping!

Thank you for visiting! Have a good day!

Happy Stamping!
