Hey y'all, happy Sunday. Per Ryan's request (it was his turn to pick), I made orange scones for breakfast this morning. : ) I think next weekend it's time for a pumpkin coffee cake.
And today it's time for a pumpkin card!
We're kickin' it old skool today to go with the Retro Rubber Challenge:
I used Elegant Eggplant, Highland Heather, Crushed Curry, Peach Parfait (I think? We've had three colors with peach in the name and I get them mixed up, I just know it wasn't Peach Pie I used this time), and Tangerine Tango. Carved & Candlelit was one of the first few Stampin' Up! stamp sets I ever bought and it's been in my collection for 18 years! Spooktacular Bash (which I used for the greeting) is less retro at only five years old. Even my embellishments are retro on this card.
I also used the sketch from As You See It:
And I'm quite chuffed to share that my Perfectly Preserved card was the winner of their last challenge : ) See, it's FUN to play with older stamps! Thanks to the AYSI team for choosing my card, I enjoy playing along with the challenges.
Supplies, all SU!

When I'm not stamping or scrapping...or reading...my other other hobby is cross stitching, and last week I finished up two projects:
These are patterns by Satsuma Street in the Pretty Little Cities line. The designer hasn't released any new Pretty Little Cities in a few years though, so I think I'll have to design my own for Texas and Colorado. They're *called* Pretty Little Cities but sometimes it's not a city, it's a state or a country--I've also made Pretty Little Hawaii and Pretty Little Italy. Plus more than a dozen other ones. I've already started a new project that's making my little autumn-loving heart happy, it's a quilt-inspired design in some fabulous fall colors. The hubs wonders how I can be at the house all day without going stir crazy but I am very, very good at entertaining myself--I always have multiple projects going, either paper or stitching. I never get bored!

So super cute, Christy! I have this set, too - it's a total keeper! I love it in our colors, and so perfect for the sketch, too - you totally nailed this combo! Thanks so much for playing at As You See It AND Retro Rubber!
One thing I can say about Halloween cards is that they certainly let you play bold with bright colours. Love your pumpkins and the sentiment is perfect. Thanks for sharing with us at As You See It.
