Copper Boom

Yay Friday!  How's your day going so far?  I'm excited that the temperature actually dropped a bit this week.  I swan (my great-grandmother used to say that instead of "I swear") that 74 degrees feels positively autumnal after so many days of 90+ degrees and ridiculous humidity.  More fall please!

So how about a very quick fall card today?

I had the CAS(E) This Sketch challenge in my mind as I was rifling through my stamp sets and Gather Together seemed perfect for it (though I almost made another Halloween card instead).

What made up my mind for me was the Paper Players challenge to use metallics:

So once I saw the big leaf in Gather Together, this card idea popped into my head and seriously, if my husband hadn't gotten home right after I started making it, I would have been done in probably about five minutes.  I used copper embossing powder (I still have my old jar of EP from the *first* time SU! had copper powder!) on Pretty Peacock cardstock, then added a sentiment stamped in Rich Razzleberry on a scrap of Very Vanilla, and boom, card done.  (If you're confused about the title of this blog post, "copper boom" is a reference to an episode of Gilmore Girls.)

Well, I've got some work to do today for my volunteer gig, then yoga class, and then I get to work on scrapbooks this weekend anytime Ryan is down for his nap.  Still not sure I'll get to my 200-page goal for the year, but I'm going to get as close as I can!

Cheers, y'all!  Have a great weekend.
