MOJO315 & TSTR188 ~ Fall ~

Happy Saturday to you!  If your home is anything like mine we are busy cleaning our yard, finishing final repairs around the house and generally getting everything "ready" for this winter.  I hesitate to even mention the word, as I am not always a fan!  I love looking at snow from my window but when you work for a utility and have to be at work at 7AM AND bad weather makes your job even more crucial...  you get the drift...  NO PUN INTENDED!  :-)

 

As I mentioned earlier in the week, I feel that the Lord has laid it on my heart to share more "thoughts" or random ideas that come to me during my Bible studies and such.  If you are here to peruse my daily card, I do have one for you a bit further along.  If you aren't too busy though, I would like to share a little insight from my week.

 

Last weekend, hubs and I were planning a get together with the kids.  With the addition of a new DIL and grandson, our brood has gotten bigger.  And unfortunately, it seems difficult most days to get everyone together.  We had a bonfire earlier this year and everyone seemed to enjoy it.  So we decided to have another one this week.  Being the planner that I am, I pulled out my phone to check my weather App.  I was disturbed to find that the weather forecast called for "snow" the day we had tentatively planned.  Hubs checked his phone and insisted that the weather on his App said nothing about snow, much to my chagrin.  I was convinced that he obviously didn't look in the right place and our event was threatened.  Later in the morning, after stewing on this development for a bit, I checked the weather again and much to my amusement I realized my App was set for Baraga, Michigan, decidedly further north of our Kentucky home...  So I had to admit to my husband that I was miffed for nothing and that my own lack of attention led to the great "weather debate."  So the lesson here?  If you don't have the correct coordinates, everything gets skewed!  I had my phone App set to our favorite travel destination 14 hours north and as such the information I had was useless. 

 

As Christians, if we don't have our coordinates set, reading our Bible, studying God's word and maintaining fellowship with a body of believers we can lose course.  You have to stay plugged in with the right information to be successful!  Thanks for visiting!  Hope you have a wonderful day!

SS280 ~ Blessings ~

Good morning!  So glad you stopped by for a moment!  Today I have another card using Our Daily Bread Designs' Autumn Blessings set.   And as I have so often this week, I started with a sketch....

 

 

the sketch from Sketch Saturday...

 

 

I used a couple of leaves I had colored and left over from another project.  I triple matted some DP (chocolate, pumpkin and vanilla colors).  I used a bit of DP from another project at the top and added a sentiment stamped and cut with a die on the corner.  I used a simple gold staple from my stash to add it.  Super easy!  I LOVE projects like that!  :-) 

 

Blessings to you and yours today...

TSTR187 ~ A Fallen Leaf ~

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope this Lord's day finds you well!  Today I have a quick card to share using a sketch from this week's Shabby Tea Room challenge...

The leaves are from Our Daily Bread Designs' Autumn Blessings set.  Each was colored with Copics (E04, E35, YR07, YR23 and Y17) before cutting them out with the coordinating Fall Leaves and Acorn die.

 

 

If you look closely you will find a bit of corrugated cardboard I had in my stash...  Here's the sketch...

 

Thanks again for stopping by!  Stop back later this week as we showcase some of the new stamps from North Coast Creations.  I will also have a fun card to share for Word Art Wednesday and a look back at this months' Our Daily Bread Designs release.  It promises to be a fun and busy week!  Whew!

TSTR186, SS279 & 4189 ~ Burlap and Pumpkin ~

Good morning!  The weather is starting off a bit wet in the Bluegrass state but a cool down is on the horizon!  I love crisp Fall air!  We took a family drive yesterday to the Outer Knobs of the Bluegrass and found a few colors.  Sumac seems to be the overachiever changing to a bright red in most areas here.  I love the beautiful shades that take over the landscape this time of year. 

 

The pumpkins stands, foddershocks and cheery scarecrows waving hello, make me smile!  And speaking of smiling, I am pleased as punch to share another fun card today.  And yes, I am taking a break from Christmas themed projects!  So here it is, incorporating a few challenges this week...

 

 

I used a burlap square (slightly unraveled) as the base for my image.  I used my trusty Copics again to give this pumpkin and mum scene a glow!  I added a jute bow for interest. 

 

Here's the products I used all from Our Daily Bread Designs

Now on to the card I am sharing to celebrate this fun day...

 

 

This one was based on the weekly sketch challenge at SCS.  I used a spellbinder die to cut my squares and a couple of brand new products from Our Daily Bread Designs

.

Autumn Blessings stamp set

 

 

and the coordinating Fall Leaves and Acorn Die

set...

 

 

I stamped each leaf on Copic compatible paper and colored with fall colors including E25, E55, E35, E04, Y17, YR23, YG95 and YR07.  I used each die to cut the leaf out and adhere to the black square panels.  I stamped the sentiment (Versafine) on the bottom right hand corner.  Dimensional foam on the leaves and their frames makes them pop off the card!  I love using black as an accent color! 

 

Please stop by and visit my other DT sisters and share the love!  They have some beautiful projects to share!  {{hugs}}

Our Daily Bread Designs' October Release

Welcome to Our Daily Bread Designs' October New Release Hop! 

 

ODBD will be choosing a random winner from one of the designers' blog comments to receive a $50 Gift Certificate to the ODBD Store.  This can  be used towards the purchase of ODBD products!  With this fabulous collection, you are bound to have a tough time choosing!!! 

You have until October 2nd, 2013 at 9:00pm EST to leave your comments on the designers' blogs.  The winner will be posted on the ODBD Blog on October 3rd, so be sure to check there to see if you have won.  :-)

 Today, I have two cards to share using a combination of fabulous stamps and dies!

Here's one using the Fall Flower Pumpkin image, coordinating Pumpkin with Flowers Die ,  Autumn Blessings' sentiment, and Fall Leaves and Acorn Die. 
 

I stamped the image on Copic compatible paper before coloring with a host of Copic pens.  The pumpkin has YR12, YR04, YR07, YR09, YR18 and V15 for shading.  I used a variety of fall colors to color the mums.  I stamped the sentiment on kraft paper and used one of the Fall Leaves and Acorn Die to define the sentiment.  Look closely and you will see a die cut square burlap panel under the colored and custom die cut image.  I added a bit of gold colored satin ribbon for fun. 

And here's the second project featuring the Autumn Blessings stamp set and coordinating Fall Leaves and Acorn Die.  I used a watermark ink to stamp the "leaves" on coordinating card stock and cut/embossed with the new dies.  A sprig of greenery from ODBD's Fancy Foliage adds a fun touch.  An altered gold rhinestone flourish peeking from behind the acorn image adds a bit of flair.  I just love this time of year, don't you?

Now for the product list this month...
