Dear Autumn: Thank you

I have to remember to use other brands once in awhile and I just love Mo Manning especially this Liam in the Leaves along with a sentiment from TLC, Create.  I have tons of leaves that need to be raked; however, there is now snow piled on top and I don't know that we are going to have weather that will cooperate with being able to get them cleaned up anytime soon. We had the other snow melt, but are getting another couple of inches, but the temp is dropping to 29F/ -1.7C today! YIKES!!! We just aren't ready for this. Not like we have a choice...scarves, hats, mittens and boots.

A is for Autumn

Today at Catch the Bug is a new Stella Says Sketch and for my card I used Scarecrow Sitter and a sentiment from TLC, Create.  Right now all Halloween and Fall images at 40% off at Catch the Bug. Autumn is my favorite time of year, until I have to rake. We have had sooo much rain. I managed to get a quick walk in today before it started to rain...again. They say we don't have a good display of leaves also because of our rain and winds just knocking the leaves off the trees so we are not having the beautiful colors, argh. I have a few pictures as I leaving for work in the morning and tonight had a beautiful sunset.

Autumn is in the air

Today at Catch the Bug is Friday Freebie and for my card is Scarecrow and a sentiment from TLC, Create.  With the temperatures dropping and having to turn the heat on...my skin has been dry so I feel like it is scratchy like a scarecrow.  So I feel that I look like this image, lol.

Scarecrow gifts of Grace

I went for walks in my neighborhood this weekend since we had beautiful and unusually warm weather. In our area, we have had lots of rain so we haven't had a lot of the trees turn color yet. But I did see quite of geese at a pond in the  park resting and flying south. Also since we are getting some MORE rain, we had a wonderful sunset which pictures don't do justice.
For my card, I used an image from QKR Scarecrow Digital Stamp and a sentiment from TLC, Create. I used some die cuts oval and leaves.  I added some burlap ribbon.

Wonder-fall

I can't believe how the temperature has dropped. WOW it gets cold now at night and I have to pull out an extra blanket so that I won't freeze anything when I am sleeping.  I know it's bad when my cats are curling up on top of me for body heat...and I'm never hot.  And they are nagging me to go to bed so they can cuddle which is also not like them.
Today starts a new Stella Says Sketch at Catch the Bug, and I used a fall image of Scarecrow Trio and used only 2 of the 3 images. The sentiment is from TLC, Create.

BeautiFALL

For this card I wanted to print the sentiment on the design paper which I wanted to be a fall paper.  So I used a digital paper from the Sweet Shoppe and then whited out an area to add the sentiment which is from TLC, Create.  I then added some leaf die cuts from Cherry Lynn and a ribbon to complete the card.
