Happy Fall!

Can you believe it? Today is officially the first day of Fall. This morning actually feels that way too. A little bit cooler, and just a touch of fog...out here in the country any way. Well, in honor of the first day of Fall, I have a card to share. I didn't get to play this weekend like I had hoped, so I made this card this morning.

Don't these colors just make you feel all warm & cozy? This is Tangerine Tango, Old Olive & Chocolate Chip. These leaves are from one of the first sets that I ever purchased when I was first introduced to Stampin' Up! about 8 years ago. Lovely as a Tree. I used the Versa Mark pad and stamped the image 3 times, and then embossed with Clear Embossing Powder. The image then takes on the green color of the cardstock. Then, I stamped again with Tangerine Tango. Happy Thanksgiving is Chocolate Chip. It didn't show up as well as I wanted, so I went over it with my Stampin' Write Marker. The printed paper is from Bella Rose. I used the Ticket Corner Punch to notch the corners of the embossed piece, and added a gold brad to each corner. When I was done, or when I thought I was done, I decided it just needed something else. So, I tied a bit of Linen Thread around the Old Olive ribbon. I tied it just tight enough to gather the ribbon just a little.

I have an announcement for all of you that are local. I am having a Garage Sale this Saturday, September 27. I have tons of scrapbooking supplies and rubber stamps. Not all stamps are Stampin' Up!, but they are great stamps non the less. I wound up cleaning in my craft room instead of playing. I have decided to weed out anything that is not Stampin' Up!, so I can totally devote my stamping & scrapbooking to SU. There are some things that I just can't part with yet, but if you have ever seen my room, you know I have plenty to share. I have a lot of non SU stamps priced at $1.00. Some I have bundled so you get 2 or 3 or 4 for $1.00. I do have many SU sets priced very reasonably. So, here is the fun part for you. I am giving anyone interested the chance to come to my house Friday afternoon to get first dibs. If you want to come to take advantage of this Great Stamp Sale, come on over at 4:00pm Friday afternoon. I have to work Friday morning, and I know you're anxious, but don't come early, because I won't be here.

Tell your friends...unless you just want to keep this a secret.

Email me personally at DeeLeeD@aol.com if you need directions to my house.

I hope to see you Friday...at 4:00pm

Have a Great week!
