UGH, Monday morning again! I finished up with one big flat of my tomatoes about 10:00 last night and my back was killing me when I got done. I cleaned up the mess but didn't do the dishes so will have to do that tonight when I get home. Just a quick post this morning. I have to get in the shower and get to work.
Yes, I am using the Christmas set Evergreen in the Holiday Catalog as a Thanksgiving card. I love that tree and was making some swap card with it for Christmas cards and as I was looking out the window thinking of what set I was going to use I thought I would use the trees as a fall card. I used More Mustard, Cajun Craze and Soft Suede and then the outline is Garden Green ink. I used the Woodgrain Textured Impressions Embossing Folder in Garden Green Card Stock. I used the More Mustard Card Stock and cut it with the Finishing Touches Framelits on the Big Shot. My base card stock is Cajun Craze with Natural Ivory as the second layer and I sponged around that piece and my banner with Soft Suede ink. That stamp set for the banner is called Full Of Blessings. I attached a Natural Designer Button that I had tied a bow with Linen Thread through it. the Woodgrain looks like our old Crimper underneath but it isn't. I hope you like my card for the Fab Friday Challenge that one of my favorite stamping buddies Mindy Backes started. I hope I can always join her challenges.
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a honey of a day. Let me know what your think of my card will you? Did you know you can follow me on Facebook and Pinterest? Yes you can.
Hugs, Bev

Hi again stamping friends and bleeps. I went to the doctor today and got some meds and since I was in town I picked up some better drugs than we have in our little town. YAY! I feel more like myself already as the doc had me take two pills today when I picked them up. I stopped by some friends of mine that told me they had tomatoes for me and they invited me in for coffee and then of course she had baked a blueberry raspberry pie so I had to have a slice of that. Oh such nice people here in Grygla. They make me feel so loved and so do all the comments I have been getting from so many of you. When I got home I had a message from someone that wanted to book a party in November that I don't even know. YAY, I love days like this. I am so blessed.
It is cool here today and made me in the mood to make a fall card. So I got this new set out of the Holiday Catalog called Full Of Blessings and that I am. LOL! I got out my watercolor paper and stamped this image with Black Stazon and colored it in with my ink pads and blender pens. I got out my Apothecary Accents Framelits and cut it out but the image just looked to small for the die cut, so I thought, "hey Bev, try to cut down the shape by moving the framelit up on one side and line it up good". Well I'll be dipped, look at the darling shape it made. I had to sand the very top and bottom to take of a little point but I think it is so cute, don't you? It makes me giddy. A cute little Apothecary Accent shape. SWEET! I sponged around the edges with Crumb Cake and Always Artichoke ink. Then I took some Vellum card stock and put it through my Big Shot with the Sizzlits Large Delicate Doilies to layer underneath. I inked up the Cotton Ribbon on my Pumpkin Pie and Always Artichoke Ink Pad and cut it into a banner and then stamped the long floral image in the set on the First Edition Specialty DSP and made that into a banner and then stamped the last one with Always Artichoke Ink on the Pumpkin Pie Card Stock. I used the Brushed Bronze Designer Button and strung Linen Thread through it and stuck it on with Mini glue Dots. All in all I think it turned out darling, don't you?
