Mornin' y'all! Did you have a good holiday weekend? We flew out to Texas for the weekend, which was great until they canceled our flight back to Colorado on Monday. Somehow our suitcase ended up flying out on Monday night, but we spent that night in a hotel and flew out yesterday morning and Ryan got to miss a day of school. We're back to our regularly scheduled programming today and I got to spend the weekend with my parental units and I hit up four Half Price Books stores and came back with a rather tall stack o' books. If I had bought any more, we would have had to get a second bag for them : )
Anyway, I got in my craft room for a little bit yesterday and made this:
My friend Toby gave me a book that's kinda like a Nancy Drew scrapbook, so I made this card to send to her. I absolutely loooooove the inspo challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments:
An excellent excuse to break out my favorite retired apple stamp set, Apple Harvest, and also I would like to go to there, please. Actually I'm planning to make apple cider muffins in the very near future (I got the new Sally's Baking 101 cookbook), I can easily make myself a cuppa tea, and I have a stack of new books to read so that will be very much like living in these inspo pics : )
Next up is the follow my lead challenge at AAA Cards:
Which dovetails nicely with the TGIF Challenge:
I used one of the Everyday Arches dies as a mask to sponge ink on my card base, then floated my apple branch on top and added the greeting and a few sparkle dots. I think I want to play along with all of these challenges again and Ryan has his cooking class after school today which means extra crafty time (after I wash dishes and start some laundry, anyway).
That's it for now, peeps, have a great day! As soon as I get Ryan off to school, I'm going to make myself a cuppa.

very pretty stamp and fab take on the leader's card. Thank you for playing at the AAA Card Challenges
I love this Christy! I was intrigued by that sketch - another great way to use the arches - and your apple branch is a great diecut to feature for this time of year too.
