Fall Colours


Here in Manitoba we have been experiencing cool fall weather for the last couple of weeks but on Sunday it is supposed to be 25C! Our  family is planning to go to the park for one last picnic of the summer.  The leaves have been changing so the park should be beautiful.
This little mouse seems to be experiencing the perfect fall day lazing in the sunshine. The stamp is House Mouse "Autumn Cruise" which I have had in my stash for at least 5 years. It's coloured with copics.  My photography skills aren't very good so the "water & sky" don't show up very well. The lovely paper is "fallen leaves" by Kaisercraft & "polka dot orange" by My Minds Eye. Cardstock is Craft Smart. The oak leaves are Scrapbook Studio; cloud dies are Memory Box & bling is Bo Bunny.

With Love


No one likes to have to make a sympathy card but I recently had to do just that when my SIL's Mom passed away after a long, hard fought battle with Alzheimer's disease. This beautiful 2 sided paper from Kaisercraft (sea breeze), Bazzill cardstock & a sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches combined to make this simple card. The sentiment is from Sympathy Sentiments by JustRight Clear Stamps & the flourish & flower dies are Memory Box. Pearls are from Stampin Up.

Challenges I am entering:
1. Tuesday Morning Sketches #519
2. Inspire, Create.....Sympathy

Loads of Love



I'm sure you have all heard of Mo Manning & her amazing digital images BUT have you heard about her Patreon page? If not check it out. Mo had a contest on Patreon to name this adorable image. My suggestion was "Loads of Love" & I won! Woo Hoo! So, I received this sweetie free! You can find it here if you would like to have it for your collection. I coloured the image with copics….adding in my own little patterns. The DP's & gems are from my stash....I'm really bad about naming DP....I cut the bottom off of the sheets to fit them into my containers. I guess I need to start marking them somehow.
