Nachos: Leafy Thanks

Y'all!  I've only been in Alabama for a few months but already my DRAWL is showing.  But today is Nacho Average Challenge day!  And that means it's time for a great sketch:

What do you think of that???  I pondered while I was jogging...it helps me if I have something to think about when I run because I hate running.  But anyway, since it's October (even if it still feels like a sauna here), I thought I'd go with some fall leaves and a thank you card.

We had cooler weather for a New York minute and then it went back to being Alabama.  I'm 'bout to MELT, y'all.  Think cool thoughts for me, wouldja?  Anyway, it wasn't until I uploaded this picture onto the computer that I thought maybe I shouldn't have put the card on the dark wood furniture to photograph :)  At least the card matches the background?  And also, So Saffron plus Pumpkin Pie plus Cherry Cobbler makes a great fall color combination.  I added in some Soft Suede and Early Espresso too.  And now I'm a teensy bit hungry for pumpkin pie and cherry cobbler.

Anyway, I've nattered on long enough.  Go check out the Nacho blog and then make your own pretty creation!  Cheers, peeps!

Hardwood Floral Thanks

Apparently I'm on a floral kick this week.

I got dinner in the oven last night and figured I might have time to make a card while dinner was baking, so this is the card that resulted.  I started with the colors from As You See It:

Just the names of those colors make me hungry.  Actually, we went to a friend's house for dinner Sunday and there was a fruit platter that included strawberries and blackberries, both of which I sampled, and I'd brought cookies that had vanilla, so....I actually did eat things inspired by this color challenge too : )

Anyway, lots going on today with the delivery of our household goods (yay!) so that's it for me.  Peace out!

Tangelo Twist

Hellooooo in blogland!  Hubs and I just got back from a 10-day trip...a Baltic cruise with an extra day in Copenhagen...so this is the first time I've stamped in about two weeks.  It's kinda slow getting back into it at first, ya know?  But here's what I've got.

I realized that the *only* new In Color I hadn't really done anything with yet was Tangelo Twist, so here ya go.  I paired it with Daffodil Delight and Blackberry Bliss; I think this color combo could be fun for fall cards, but now Gently Falling is retired....so I wonder what kind of fall stamps we'll have this year?  Guess we'll find out in a couple of months.  But hey, we've got a brand new catty to play with in the meantime!

Anyway, I used the latest sketch from Freshly Made:

I keep forgetting that no matter which way I turn that one stamp from Gorgeous Grunge, the stripes still point the same direction.  Oh well.  I've got to get back to cleaning up the house and getting ready for the packers to arrive next week : p

Cheers, peeps!
