Fall is here..

For some of you...it's definitely feeling like fall around here.This is my FAVORITE season.I love the fresh cool air.The colors in the leaves...it's just a beautiful season.Oh and hey who can forget the kids in school.LOL.Of course that tends to also bring the flu bug in the house.Which has been hitting this house quite nicely.LOL.

So anyhoo today at Scrap Creations our challenge theme is

FALL/AUTUMN

Here's my card I made for the challenge.I used the image from our sponsor this week

Designed 2 Delight Digital Stamps....If you have not had a chance to visit their store, you've got to stop by. They have super cute images, and they are offering the winner of this weeks challenge a GC to their store!
 

So I hope you see you  ink it up and link it up ! !

Oh and I'm entering this into the following challenges:

Party Time at High Hopes..

Today  at High Hopes is Challenge day.The theme is "PARTY FAVOR" We would like to see you put your party hat on and make something creative as a party favor.The team has been featuring a Halloween theme for this challenge but you can go any theme.

My daughter helped me make this ...very quick and simple especially if you need to make a lot of them and your child could help.My daughter did a little coloring and added some stickles to the pencil topper.Tied some ribbon around the bag filled with candy and voila.You could go more elaborate but I think kids just tend to rip off whatever to get to the candy ! ! !

Now as a different theme I decorated this cute little pad.You kind find them at a dollar store or I found mine in the bargain bin at Micheal's quite some time ago for a $1-

The possibilities are endless for themes...let's see what you come up with!!

New,New,New ! !

Yep it's a new month at Graphicat Sketches.So that means a new challenge sketch and it's a fab one.But surprise ,it's a new release for Graphicat Designs as well.And if your a fan of Halloween like me,your gonna love them!!! So the DT is showcasing new images for your pleasure!!Be sure to check them all out.Here's what I played with....

 I tag teamed the sentiment from Graphicat Designs with the cat from Just Inklined.And that fab tag in the background is from Tim Holtz...I spritzed with "fireworks" spray.That cool little skull on the bow is a "glowskull" which you can get from Graphicat Designs as well.

Love that sentiment LOL...I added some stickles.

And here's the fabulous sketch ! !

High Hopes Sale....

It is the first of the month again!

That means it's time for another Monthly Special.

                   The first week of each month, High Hopes has a special sale on certain stamps.

This sale is only available directly through the High Hopes Website.

High Hopes Stamps is located in South Western Ontario, surrounded by farm land. This time of year we love that many of our local farmers put up roadside stands selling the best of their crops. Every year we stock up on fresh peaches and cream corn to freeze, Zucchini to make into loaves of bread to freeze, and Blueberries, Apples and Peaches to can. Canning the fruits, and making and canning homemade salsa is a fall tradition that our family has had for years. We also love to go to the Fairs to see what other folks are making, and baking!

Being in that "Farm Fresh" mood,

we thought we would bring back some of our old favorite farm images for this month's

20% off sale!
