Hey y'all! Did you have a good long weekend? Ryan had both Friday and Monday off of school, but with the hubs mostly out of commission while we await a surgery date, we just hung out at the house. I did take Ryan to the pool at the local rec center yesterday though.
I am SO HAPPY that it's Pre-October (a.k.a. September) now. The temps are still in the 80s but I'm wearing a cozy sweatshirt anyway and today's card is cozy too!
Bringing back some old favorites today! The stamps, DSP, and most of the inks and cardstock are all retired but that doesn't stop me enjoying them anyway. Check out the Festive Friday challenge:
I used fruity colors (Lucky Limeade, Raspberry Ripple, More Mustard...okay mustard isn't a fruit but anyway), gingham, scalloped edges, and fruit. Perfectly Preserved came out when die sets for SU! stamp sets were pretty new, so the dies are a lot simpler than what we get nowadays but it is still one of my favorite bundles ever. I also busted out the Stitched So Sweetly dies for the nice scalloped edge.
Next up is As You See It:
And believe it or not, this was my time:
I went through my Orchard Harvest DSP scraps and picked out my pieces (I only had to trim down the mustard gingham pattern after I started the timer, I used the others as they were) and got all the stamps and ink pads lined up and ready to go before I started the timer. After I finished and stopped the timer, I thought my card needed something else, so I added some long-retired Candy Dots:
The sentiment is stamped in Island Indigo so I wanted to bring more of that color in. What do you think, dots or no dots? Even if I add an extra minute to the timer to get the dots on there, I'm still well under 10 minutes. Speedy McSpeederson here.
Time to get Ryan off to school even if he's complaining about it. And then we're having a contractor come out here to start ripping out the floor in our shower, hooray! Can't wait to have that replaced. Have a good day, peeps.

What a lovely warm, rich colour palette you've used - it makes me think of autumn and harvest season. Love the layers of papers - they work well together and the stamped fruit is really cute. Thanks for playing along with us again at As You See It.
Simple stamping and DSP for the win Christy! I remember this set and papers from around the time I joined SU many moons ago and I love them just as much now as I did then! The papers coordinate beautifully and the simple fruit stamps are timeless; a fab card! Thanks for joining in with our speed challenge over at As You See It this week!
What a great time, Christy and that suite is a real blast from the past! Looks like you nailed our Speed Stamping Challenge at As You See it! Island Indigo, ahhh!! Now those were the days! For what it's worth, I'm Team Dots!
So much fun and the DSP really adds to your amazing layout. Thanks for playing along with us in the Festive Friday Challenge
I'm loving the colours in your project - a real autumnal/harvest feel. Thank you for linking up to the Festive Friday Challenge.
