August Stamp of the Month - Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps

Welcome AUGUST!
It's a brand new month so that means....
there's a brand new
Stamp of the Month!

Here is I LOVE AUTUMN!

This sweet and fluffy stamp set is FREE when you place an order in the online Krafty Shop of $75CAN or more during the month of August while supplies last! Total must be $75 before shipping/tax.

Fall is my favorite season too! 

The gorgeous colors and the sound 

of the leaves falling and crunching under 

my feet was the inspiration for my slimline 

card that I’m sharing with you today.

 

The Leafy Mandala stencil 

was perfect for 

creating this lovely 

fall background panel. 

I used Creamy Caramel, Pumpkin Patch, Summer Sunshine and Fresh Fields KKS hybrid inks

on a Kraft cardstock panel. 

What do you think? Does it say Autumn to you?! 

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

I hope you will be able to add this cutie to your collection 

and make lots of

adorable fall themed creations!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge #502 - Autumn Colors

Hello crafty followers and friends.

Pardon my excitement but... IT'S THE WEEKEND!!!

We are going to watch some college football

and will get to see both my kiddos.  

Today is the start of Challenge #502 at 

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE CHALLENGES

and the theme this week is "AUTUMN COLORS".

Here in Montana we seem to have skipped right by

the beautiful season of Autumn.  The leaves had

barely started to change colors and two nasty snow

storms plunked upon us.  I don't mind winter but 

I LOVE Autumn and am really sad to have missed
all the beautiful colors and cool mornings with
warmer days and sunshine - especially the colors. 

My DT card for this challenge features a gorgeous
gourd  that symbolizes autumn for me
(I LOVE pumpkins) - take a peek

The background is created with the Beautiful Burlap stencil

and Yummy Yellow, Totally Taupe and Pumpkin Patch inks.

Then I added some stems, leaves and a pumpkin from 

Grateful Pumpkins (on SALE this weekend) and a 

sentiment from Pumpkin Kisses right over the top of

the stenciled background.  Hope you like it!

Thanks so much for visiting me today. Hugs!

ATS&M #66 - Anything Goes and Sweet Stampin - Autumn

Hello friends and followers - so happy that you've stopped by to visit me today - Thankful really!! A couple weeks ago I watched a video on the sunburst technique.  My first couple of attempts looked like a 5 year old did it - a tad heavy handed with the sponge dauber. After a few botches attempts I finally got the feel for it (it really wasn't as hard as I was making it) and the result is what you see above.  

I made this card because I've been inspired many times by the beautiful sunsets that we see each night out our back patio door.  I also wanted to reflect on my favorite time of year - Fall/Autumn - and the fact that I have so very much to be thankful for.  The sentiment "thankful" is one of three new ones in a new thinlits set I got from Stampin Up! and it sums up perfectly how I feel.  I feel this way when I get up each day, when I get a big hug from my daughter (who is now taller than me), when my puppies are sitting on my lap while I watch tv, when I see a gorgeous sunset, when my pantry is full of food, when I make an especially good dinner for my family, when someone else makes me dinner, when I get a good night's rest, when I hear my son's voice on the phone, when I take a long hot bath, when I see the smiles on the faces of my friends, and when I get to craft and share that with each of you as part of my wonderful and extended support network of lovely people in my life.  The list could go on and on - but you get the idea :o)

I'm sharing this with you today for my DT card for Addicted to Stamps and More! (ATSM) - Challenge #66  "Anything Goes".   This is a very popular theme each month and we get so many wonderful entries.  The rest of the DT ladies have also made some amazing creations to inspire you.  I hope that you will pop on over and visit them and then decide to join us this week.

I'm also entering my card at Sweet Stampin' Challenge - Autumn is here!

Thanks again for stopping by. I hope you take a minute or two to reflect on what makes you feel thankful. Til next time friends...hugs and happy crafting! D

Addicted to Stamps and More! Scrapbook Challenge #4

Hello all my crafty friends!  The Scrapbook Challenge #4 theme at Addicted to Stamps and More! (formerly Addicted to Stamps) is AUTUMN.  I haven't had much time to craft lately (now making a crabby face)  but I did happen to have this stuff out for a calendar that I have been making which fit the bill perfectly for the ATS scrapbooking challenge - so I quickly put it together.  This page is all about my son, whom I recently sent off to college (boo hoo!!!). Isn't he a cutie patootie?  His birthday is in November so he gets the honor of being Mr. November for my calender - he he.  When I make these calendars I try to make each month special to a family member (or members if they have shared birthday months) or event.  So for example, the April calendar page is all about me, my husband and our daughter who all have birthdays that month (my daughter and her Daddy share the same birthday even).  October is for the kiddos dressed up in their Halloween costumes.  I vary the pictures between old and new depending on what moves me (and how far behind I am in scrapbooking).  This will be my second calendar - after the year has expired I cut the bottom strip off and stash the pages in a scrapbook. I will often put a note on the back side of the page to describe the pictures or events on the calendar page. 

Scrapbooking is really my first love - I did that before I started making cards.  For me cards are little gifts I make for people to make them smile - but scrapbooking is for me to savor the wonderful memories I have now and for my kids and grandkids (future grandkids that is) to cherish later.   

Do you like to scrapbook? If so go check out this challenge at ATS and make a page to share.  I really like that ATS has added a scrapbook challenge in addition to the cards - it will help me get caught up on my memories :o)  Hope you will decide to play along too so I can get some inspiration from you. 

Thanks so much for stopping by to vist today - I'm sure glad that you did.  Til next tiime - Hugs and Happy Crafting!!
