Happy day!

So if you missed yesterday's news, you will have to stop by and check THIS out!  I am still in shock!  

After a text early in October, from my sweet friend Steph, asking me if I was going to enter, I told her at that point I hadn't turned in any because I was just too busy.  I told her that if I was going to turn any in, it would be last minute! And last minute it was!  I turned in 6 cards and mailed then ON the "postmarked by..." date!  I will have to find those card photos and share then soon!   Yesterday was really fun!  What an honor to be included in such a great group of talented ladies!  

So I am here today to share a quick card I made yesterday!

This card uses the new PTI Spring Moss ink, Amuse Heather and Papaya.  I am going to have to say that Amuse ink is my favorite, hands down!  It has such a clean image and I love the colors!  They match with PTI cardstock so well!  These doily stamps are the Stella Rose doilies and I so love them too!  They made a fun patterned cardstock!  The sentiment is from Communique Sentiments.  This is a must have $5 set!  I love this font!   

Well the boys of our house are gone today so Rylee and I are gonna have a girls day!  Not sure what we are going to do yet.  Probably end up cleaning for another fall party tonight at our house....hay ride included!  It should be a fun time with friends!  

Have a great Saturday!  Thanks for stopping and a HUGE thank you for all the emails, texts, and comments yesterday!  I have the greatest crafty friends!  :)

I {heart} woodgrain..

If you'd like to see my first post, scroll down!  DeNami is showcasing their Cornucopia stamp and its 10% off right now!  It's a must for those Thanksgiving cards or place setting cards!  

So if you follow my blog, you know that I really get attached to something.....like a certain impression plate....and then I use it...a lot.  Well then I recently realized that I do have *other* impression plates...well other than the linen plate I love so dearly.  I found my way back to my beloved woodgrain plate this week.  And here is what I cam up with...

I took a piece of Rustic White and sponged a few snowflakes on it.  Then I stamped this sentiment from PTI's Holiday Photo Finishers.  After that gorgeous Jumbo Java ink was dry, I ran the whole thing through with the woodgrain IP.  LOVE.  I added my focal point...the gloves and that yummy green bow!  I added a distressed snowflake, button and twine!  Oh and some pearls.  It wouldn't be finished without them right?  :)

I am SO in a holiday mood now!  It is so nice and chilly outside!  I love Thanksgiving and Christmas and I can't wait to get to decorating!  It's not too early for a Christmas tree is it?  ;)

PTI October Blog Hop

It's that time again! Time for the October PTI Blog hop!  Here is this month's inspiration picture...

And here is my card...

I took the patterns, colors and textures from this photo.  To be honest, the first thing I saw was the fabric that looks sort of  looks like woodgrain.  Then all those polka dots and the colors sang to me!  :)  I had a leaf stamp from Michaels and then that super cute little autumn sentiment from one of PTI's Fillable Frames.  The pattern paper is PTI too, and I made my own polka dot paper using Polka Dots I and II. 

I can't wait to see everyone's take on this picture!  Stop back by Nichole's blog for the complete list of participants!  Have a great day and thank you so much for stopping!
