Fusion: Thanks Strawberries

 

In case you were wondering who works in the back room of the candy shop dipping all of those strawberries in chocolate......well now you know!

I used both the sketch and the photograph for inspiration this
week.  Hope you join us at Fusion!

Handmade Hugs.....FMS569

 

I like to have a few beachy cards on hand for my friends and family who head south for the winter. The images and paper from the Textured Chic Suite worked perfectly for a beachy scene. The shells on my card are trimmed with gold foil that is just my nemesis to photograph!  

In the meantime we are still enjoying a beautiful fall up here in the North Country and spent last night watching Emma's final soccer game......oh it gets dark so early now! But it was a beautiful fall evening and Emma scored two goals!

Have fun with Jen Timko's great sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!

Soft Seedlings....FMS568

 

I am still in fall/leaf peeping mode ...... not much time left to enjoy the colors because the leaves are always all down by Halloween.  I love the set Soft Seedlings and stamped my image in Crumb Cake over blocks of fall color.  I used Post It tape to to create the squares and then applied the colors with blender brushes.  Easy to do  but I admit I hold my breath when I peel back the tape!

Our camp is tucked in behind the beautiful yellow and red trees in the middle of this photo.  My son was standing down by the lake when he snapped this.  Summer is fun up there but Fall is just gorgeous!

Can you spot Corduroy hiding in the grass?

I actually stayed true to Jacquie's great sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!

Stamps: Soft Seedlings, Sentiment from The Ton

Ink: Crumb Cake, Distress, Versafine Black

Paper: Basic White, Happy Forest Friends DSP

Fusion: Kitchen

 I was definitely inspired by the inspiration photo with its beautiful trail of leaves in that gorgeous white kitchen. I layered all the colors using distress inks and a new stencil set from Taylored Expressions.

It's been a beautiful fall here!  My son and I recently took a short hike with the pups up to Hope Falls

Pepper loved it!

And my son's two pups were asleep the minute we got back to camp!
