So over at Splitcoaststampers.com they have been looking for index cards for Stampin' Up! stamp sets. These are very simple cards that include each image from the selected stamp set and is the icon for that gallery. For example, this card is the index for Holiday Trinkets gallery (click Holiday Trinkets to check out some great examples!)

lovely as a tree thanks
With fall here I'm drawn to these colours: Close to Cocoa, Chocolate Chip, Really Rust and Very Vanilla. I know these colours were used in yesterdays post, and the truth is that the card does go with the bag I made yesterday for a hostess thankyou! But these colours are yummy!

Stamps: Lovely as a Tree
Paper: Close to Cocoa, Really Rust, Very Vanilla
Ink: Versa mark
Accessories: square button from Neutrals Assorted, linen thread, stampin dimensionals, chocolate chip ribbon, retired rubons, black embossing powder
Below is the finished products both together, all ready for me to add an envelope, some little other things and tad-da! Complete!

Happy Autumn Equinox!

Fall is my favourite time of year! Are you seeing signs of fall around your home? The leaves have been slowly changing here for awhile now, but I wish the colours would stay around far longer than they do.

After finally having some stamp time this past weekend with my mom, (we spread out on her dinning room table and made a big mess all afternoon!), I was able to do a demo challenge from Splitcoaststampers. And that is where today's Project Monday idea came from. These bags are cute and very simple to make.

Project Monday

September 16, 2008
Okay where did the last week go? Oh right, trip to Ottawa, Mom doing round #5 of chemo, the start of a new girl guide/brownie year and last night's adventures! I'd say that is enough in one week to keep me busy!

Anyways, last night's project was a food related one instead of stamping.

My husband and I spent a few hours peeling, slicing, and canning 2 baskets of peaches. Something we have never done before! I am proud of us though and I cannot wait to eat them! Hopefully tomorrow I will have some stamping time, I sure miss it when I don't get to stamp or scrapbook.

Scrapping Wednesday

September 11, 2008 in
Okay still posting along here tonight before bed. These following pages are made using a retired simply scrappin' kit, but it's great for ideas. I have a hard time with 6"x6" pages, I want to have full pictures and they take up quite a bit of room! Oh well. I have been working on this scrapbook of the dog for quite awhile. I know, I know, who needs a scrapbook of their dog? Me of course!

Paper: Always Artichoke, River Rock (retired 2007 In Color), Basic Black
Accessories: Secret Garden Simply Scrappin' Kit (retired Fall/Winter 2007)
