Our challenge at Dare to be Sassy Thursday this week is all about the falling leaves. This is my very favorite time of the year, I love the change of seasons, and I'm lucky enough to live where the color change is really spectacular to see each fall.

This image is called Fall Fun, by SSD. I've used the Sweet Sketch Wednesday sketch#126, just rotated it so the ribbon/embellie part is along the side.

Thanks for dropping by today. Hope you are having a great week!

Cotton Candy

Just a quick post today, my dh is still recovering from his surgery and I'm just spinning my wheels trying to keep up with everything.

I managed to get Tracy's Eat Sleep Stamp sketch done again this week, wahoo! I love her Sketchy Thursday sketches and try to do them when I can.

Off to try and clean up a bit, today is Liam's 6th birthday and we've got a mess of wrapping paper and frosting in the kitchen. He had a blast, so that is all that matters. Every present was "exactly what I've always wanted!" Too cute!

Card Recipe:

Ink: Printer
Paper: PTI ssw, Simply Chartreuse, Plum Pudding, SU Yoyo Yellow, Echo Park patterns
Extras: copics, nesties, dimensionals, MM brads, PTI ribbon, stickles

D2D Saturday Designer's Challenge

A day late for the designer's challenge at D2D. We had wet and heavy snow yesterday and it knocked out our power. What a messy Saturday! On to the challenge, this week it's pumpkins. Faith has lots of pumpkin images in her store that would work well for the challenge. While it isn't required to use a D2D image, it's fun to see them! The image here is called Autumn Harvest.

Thanks for dropping by today. Off to finish up Halloween stuff for tomorrow. Have a great Sunday!
