What a beautiful color combo!! For this week’s TGIF Challenge we are going with the colors Crumb Cake, Calypso Coral and Old Olive. LOVE them!

This card was another “quick and easy” one for me! I just picked a handful of different designer series papers that fit this week’s color combo and cut it into 1” strips. I then tore the ends of each strip and laid them next to one another.

Again with the splattering! It seems to be my new staple!!

Lucky for me I had some leftover branches cut using the Perfectly Pears Dies sitting on my desk - Very Vanilla - perfect!!!

Stamps: Perfectly Pears

Paper: Crumb Cake, Calypso Coral, Calypso Coral Two-Tone Cardstock, Very Vanilla, Old Olive, Painterly Pears DSP, Gathering Together DSP, Vellum

Ink: Old Olive; Stampin’ Blends - Old Olive and Calypso Coral

Accessories: Perfectly Pears Dies, Pet Love Dies (small circle for sentiment), Streaked Dots, Linen Thread

Guess what??!? This weekend (Saturday, to be exact!) is the first training run of the season for my Huntsman Heroes Team!! I think we are only doing a couple of miles, but it will be GREAT to see the team again and get started for the year!

We’d love to have you play along!! You can check us out our blog HERE and Instagram … lots of great inspiration from the rest of the TGIF Crew!

Monday Montage - More Gathering Moments

Monday Montage … my favorite Mondays of every month!

I had such a crazy, busy weekend that I wasn’t sure where to squeeze in some crafty time … got up VERY early this morning to get it done!

Talk about your “quick and easy” card! This one is just that!!

I used this great plaid DSP from the Gathering Together pack of DSP and that is almost the trickiest thing I did for this!!

I cut one of the dies from some Early Espresso cardstock and just added a little bit of highlighting with my white gel pen.

A little bit of White Baker’s Twine for the bow and a few Low Profile Sparkle Dots and this was DONE! 

This doesn’t happen very often for me (doing a relatively quick and easy card), so I’m taking it as a win!

Stamps: Gathering Moments

Paper: Basic White, Early Espresso, Cajun Craze, Gathering Together DSP

Ink: Versamark, White Gel Pen

Accessories: Gathering Moments Dies, White Baker’s Twine, Low Profile Sparkle Dots Basic White Embossing Powder

I need to take down my Halloween decor and put up some Thanksgiving stuff ASAP! The last three months of the year just FLY by, don’t they????
