Hello! I'm back today with more Fall crafting craziness! I stayed up late last night stamping and relaxing. Really what I needed. I worked so many hours this past week and I was brain dead Friday night when I came home from work. The one sure fire way to get me back in my groove is to spend the day (and night) crafting. (And watching college football) I have some cool things in the works to share later. I started Bible Journaling and did my first page yesterday. (You can see a sneak peek on Instagram) I will probably write an entire post about that and all the blessings that have come from this new art form... I am also going to be a guestie somewhere very fabulous at the end of the month. lots of good things to come!!
For today I have a cute and happy Lawn Fawn Fall card to show ya! I got my new Lawn Fawn goodies in the mail last week and wanted to use them quick. One of the things I'm working on is just using stuff - not hoarding it, or looking at it! LOL. Do you do that too? Well...I'm trying to reform! (Please do not look at the 30 Iris cases full of 12x12 paper that are behind me)....
Here's my card for today!
How cute are these stamps??!! ACK!!! I used the critters from the Sending Hedgehugs stamp set and the Joy to the Woods stamp set! The sentiment is from the Into the Woods set from last year. Yep, those are the Stitched Leaves dies again too... They are my favorite!
EEEP! Critters in the Autumn Forest! I used the same brown tones as the patterned paper for coloring my animals. I tried making them different colors, but then they clashed with the paper. This way they blend in nicely. I wasn't planning it, but I kind of like the effect of having the animals soft in color - against the bright paper...
Squirrel!!!
This paper collection is called Sweater Weather and I ADORE it already. The flair is also from that collection. The paper has the traditional colors of orange and yellow for Fall, but then pops in a nice soft teal with a raspberry color. Nice!
Happy Autumn Weekend my bloggy friends!
Take care until I see you again!
Gorgeous card! Pretty colors, leaves and aspens! :)

What a darling card, Wanda! Soooo cute!
And I took a sneak peek at your journaling bible & love it. (I'm not on instagram so I couldn't comment there) But I wanted you to know how fabulous I think it is & can't wait to see the post about it........& to hear what news you have.

This card is so perfect with the subtle colors in the forest scene with the animals in contrast with the gorgeous fall leaf die cuts and patterned paper. Gorgeously put together down to the last superb detail!! Just such an awesome card!!

Fun card! As you already know, I'm playing with my new stuff, too. I used texture paste on the new TH (Holiday Knit) stencil, and it looks great. I already have enough paper to open a store, so I'll be using what I have.
