Fusion: Poppy Door

Wow where did September go?  I am sneaking in one last summery card before I take out all of those leaf....pumpkin....Halloween....stamps.

I finally had to pull out sweatshirts for my morning walks meaning it's time for the bi-annual closet switch. The summer clothes leave my bedroom closet and get put in the spare room closet - not to be seen again until next May!  All of those wintry things then leave the spare room closet and head to the bedroom.  It's a merry dance done twice a year and it always amazes me what I move back and forth but haven't actually worn in years!  Kind of like stamp sets that I absolutely HAD to have that have never seen ink......but I take comfort knowing I am not alone in this dilemma......

I used both the sketch and the picture as inspiration for my card!  I love that splashy door in the photo!  Find something that inspires you at Fusion!

Inspired By....All the Peels

 

I was invited by my friend LeAnne Pugliese to join in with the Inspired By team this week.  I was delighted to hang out with such a wonderful group of artists. There is always plenty of inspiration provided by this team!

This week you can be inspired by the beautiful apple photo, the CAS sketch or the elegant holiday photo.  You won't have any trouble figuring out what inspired me!

Check out all the action at Inspired By.....!

One of my favorite things to do with red rubber stamps is to color them with markers instead of using an ink pad.  The look is softer and more subtle - the perfect look for a "thinking of you friend" card!

And here's Emma with one of her best friends - Mars!  They were both very happy to take home a blue ribbon and a red ribbon in the two events they entered at the Fall Horse Show!  It was a beautiful fall day to be at the fairgrounds!

Narelle's sketch could have you going in circles!  Have fun with it!  Join us at Freshly Made Sketches!

We have had a beautiful fall so far but I can hear the clock ticking towards Christmas.  Time to start those cards!  The slim line look is perfect for a sledding penguin.

Meanwhile we snuck in one more boat ride on the lake this week.  Here are my two sailors headed to shore......

The Be Dazzling specialty paper makes a fabulous sparkly frame for my wintry scene!

I love Karren's slim line sketch this week! Always fun to break out of the A2 size! Slim lines cards come in many sizes - I made a mini! Join us at Freshly Made Sketches!
