Thankful for Fall

I LOVE the Fall. Just when you think you can't take another day of heat, Fall shows up.  After a summer of bizarre weather, I was so ready for the crisp air, falling leaves, and warm colors.  We don't have many more leaves on the trees but I will savor each one while I can.  This sketch challenge just seemed right to showcase my favorite set "Gently Falling" from the Holiday Mini. A touch of gold Smooch completed the effect I wanted. The card was simple to make but has great "Wow" factor.
All supplies are Stampin" Up! and can be purchased on my Stampin' Up! website.

Come join in and I look forward to seeing your designs.

Day of Gratitude SQSC 10

Let's start off with my card for the design team.  I really like the card but I don't recommend you photograph super early in the morning when the sun is shining through the leaves of a tree.  While it was picturesque at the time, I am not sure the mood was conveyed in this photo.  But, I wanted to post this right away so bear with my poor lighting skills ;)  the sketch is fun to play with and I encourage you to join in by going to Cristena's Stampin' Queens Sketch Challenge Blog to see other wonderful cards the team has come up with.  Post your creation. We want to see it :)

SQSC 9 Out On A Limb

It is Stampin' Queens Sketch Challenge day and I loved creating this card!  I have no idea how an idea comes into my head when I see a sketch but this one came in fairly complete and I am really happy with how it turned out.  Gotta have some coloring (was not too hard to shade) and adding dimension adds even more interest. But the excitement doesn't end here. 

The final result :)
