Colorful leaves are the hallmark of fall. Autumn Fest in Always Artichoke, Bravo Burgundy and More Mustard are used on this card. The Sanded background stamp is stamped over the leaves in Creamy Caramel.
Autumn Fest and Sanded look wonderful together!And these colors feel like fall. They are Wild Wasabi and Pumpkin Pie, with a little Chocolate Chip thrown in (everything's better with chocolate!).
The phrase comes from In My Thoughts.
Autumn trivia: In the United States and the rest of the northern hemisphere, the first day of the autumn season is the day of the year when the Sun crosses the celestial equator moving southward (on September 22nd or 23rd). This day is known as the Autumnal Equinox. (Source: http://www.calendar-updates.com/info/holidays/us/autumn.aspx)
I just received this Level 1 hostess set called Oh, So Lovely and broke out some patterned paper to play with.The colors are right off the Color Coach - Always Artichoke, Almost Amethyst, Rose Red and So Saffron.
The for you comes from the All Holidays set. And for $150+ order, you can receive Oh, So Lovely for FREE!
The fold lines may be difficult to see on this scan, but I just wanted to show how to decorate the front of the box with other items in the kit.To make the box: Use one piece of 12" x 12" paper. Cut off 3 1/4" from one side. Score in from all sides at 2 7/8". Score diagonally on the CORNERS only (not the middle section). Fold on all the lines, and have the corners sticking out - they look like triangles.
Then fold the side triangles so they overlap (I like both of the front triangles overlapping the back because I think it looks nicer). Punch one 1/16" hole on each side through the triangles and side of the box and secure with pink brads.
This is a really simple box pattern you can use for any 3" x 6" cards, regardless of whether you use a kit or not. So try one today and let your imagination go wild!
These are the four dividers for the Winter Bright box. The red pieces measure 2 15/16" and 6", and the pink utilizes what you cut off to make the box! A round tab punch and some self-adhesive diecuts complete these.
Left: The front; Below: The inside view, back layout and the back of the mini album by itself.
This set is a must have from the Holiday Mini, which you can order from as of Saturday, Sept. 1!
A few punches, 2 cents and two dimensionals make up this Think Happy Thoughts card. Oh, and there's the So Swirly jumbo wheel in So Saffron.A Word Window Punch makes the elongated hole for the spinning circles, which were punched with 1 1/4" and 1 3/8" circle punches. Stick a dimensional to the middle back of the layered circles. Stick on a penny. Stick on another dimensional (on the penny), and stick the second penny to that.
You put one penny toward the inside of the gift note (curve the front a bit to fit the back penny through the window so the spinner spins on the dimensional holding the pennies together) and the circles spin when you tip the card left or right.
You can stamp a greeting for the inside of the gift note, place your business card there to hand out to potential customers, or a gift card!The slit punches are already there for you, as is the notch and slit to hold the gift note closed.
You get 3 different card stock colors in one 
pack of gift notes - it's a bargain!
Louise was over for a bit today and wanted to borrow a stamp set, so I made her stamp a card for me!This card uses Big Flowers, Think Happy Thoughts, and the Polka Dot background. The colors used are Garden Green, Wild Wasabi (double-stitched ribbon), Really Rust and River Rock.
It's hard to tell from the scan, but the inside circles are popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals. There are gold brads in the middle of the outside circles, and a fire rhinestone brad in the center of the middle circle. Hope you like it!
This stamp set is fun! There are six pieces to it, including a deer, porcupine, heart, flower and leaves.This card uses Groovy Guava card stock and Darling Doodles paper, along with Purely Pomegranate card stock and double-stitched ribbon, and the tag corner punch.
Moose trivia: Moose live in the northern parts of America and Eurasia. They are the largest members of the deer family, the biggest moose as high as seven feet at the shoulders.
Despite their size and strength, moose tend to act very kindly toward their environment. Moose treat other animals and their surroundings with respect and care. Moose can be deadly if they feel threatened or angered: they may charge the opponent or kick forcefully with their hind legs. However, moose generally do not attack other creatures unless they or their offspring are in danger. They prefer to avoid hurting others if possible.

are the perfect accent for the little bird from Fun & Fast Notes.The ribbon from the Sherbet Ribbon Originals doesn't hurt either. It's got a bit of Always Artichoke grosgrain around it.
Trivia: How many feathers are there on a bird? Someone has actually counted the number of feathers on many species of birds. The tiny Ruby-throated Hummingbird has relatively few at 940 feathers. At the high extreme, the Swan has some 20,000 feathers. (Source: http://www.wbu.com/chipperwoods/kids.htm)
This is the last in the run of Louise's Christmas cards. This one uses a new set called Merry, Merry.
