    Looking for Fall


    I’m still looking for cool weather here in Florida. All my northern friends please send a little cool weather my way....please! While I wait my thoughts turn to Thanksgiving so todays post is a beautiful fall leaf card. I shared this with club this month.


    Used the new Spritzer and created my own spray.

    I used Autumn Accent die and Summer Starfruit CS to cut out the leaves. Then took the scoring tool and score veins in all the leaves then sponge the leaves with all the inks listed below. I sponged them all a little different. After they were sponged I sprayed them with my own mixture of Alcohol, Summer Starfruit Re-Inker and Frost White Shimmer Paint which I placed in a Spritzer spray bottle. After the leaves are sprayed crumble them up really tight and unfold them before they dry. 





    Using a Glue Stick apply in a diagonal line on the Orchard Harvest DSP paper, wrinkle up the Tulle and press it down on the glue. The rest of the card is an easy assemble. 


    Acorn in side stamped with "Give Thanks"

    Stamp Set: Full of Blessings, Wonderfall
    Paper: More Mustard, Summer Starfruit, Orchard Harvest DSP
    Ink: Island Indigo, More Mustard, Cajun Craze, Soft Suede, Summer Starfruit Re-Inker
    Accessories: Crumb Cake Tulle, Brushed Bronze Button, Summer Starfruit Stitched Ribbon, Scoring Tool, Autumn Accent Die, Frost White Shimmer Paint, Spritzer Spray Bottle, Glue Stick, Dimensionals

    It's in the Bag!

    I’m still waiting for the cool, crisp fall air to arrive at my house! I don’t like to knit or crochet until the weather is cool; its hard to work with yarn when your hands are sweating and sticking to everything. While I wait I got busy making myself a new yarn bag.

    Pockets everywhere!

    I found a SEE & SEW pattern B5741, laid out the pattern and realized that I would need 4 packages of the Floral District Fabric. Unfortunately I only had two packages....had to wait a week for my next order before I could start the bag. 

    I love the colors in this fabric!
    The bag is complete and I love it. It's large and will hold all my supplies for any size project 14"wide x 12" high by 9 " deep. Now for the cool weather to get a jump on the knitting!

    Bzzzzzzz Bzzzzzzzz

    I am so excited! 

    Several years ago we installed a screech owl nest in that tree and I’m sad to say we have never had a screech owl in there but it has become a Bee home. About a month ago they out grow the little nest and left. I was sad because it was fun to watch them, they were always in the garden. 




    Last weekend in the middle of yard work my husband and I decided it was time for a water break, we sat on the back deck by the hydroponic garden and all of a sudden I heard this Bz’ing sound. I look up and there were 10 of thousands of bees swarming around our sweet gum tree. 

    Within minutes they had settled back into the nest and immediately started visiting the garden. Now they are busy pollination the garden and drinking from the containers. I love nature!

    Punch Three!






    I cased this card from Mary Fish; she made this punch three card vertically and horizontally using different stamp sets. I changed it up a little for Christmas.  Watch her video to see how easy this triple punch card can be.
