Autumn with an Attitude Blog Hop

Thank you for joining seven Close To My Heart Consultants from the Stampers with an Attitude team as we showcase autumn artwork with an attitude.  If you are coming from Di's Blog, you are on the right track.

The weather has begun to change, even in Texas, and I cannot believe Thanksgiving is around the corner.  Crazy enough, Christmas will be here before we know it!  This theme is perfect for this time of the year and I had fun creating this card with some B&T scraps and lots of fun layers and textures.

I used two different stamp sets on this card.  The one containing the fall images is the stamp set included with the Pathfinding Workshop on the Go (as you see below).  Aren't the images too fun?!  I really love how they added to this card.

The "Life is Beautiful" stamp image is from the "Your Kind of Wonderful" set.  I LOVE that sentiment and think it is perfect for the purpose of this card.  I hope you think so too!

I hope you life is beautiful as you enjoy this gorgeous November day.  Feel free to leave a comment and then hop on over to Jen's Blog to see what I know will be a beauty!

I used the Freshly Made Sketches 161 sketch for my design inspiration.  Fun stuff!

Happy hoppin'!

CTMH Paper Focus Blog Hop - Pathfinding

Thank you for joining my team, the "Heartfelt Sentiments", as we showcase the fall paper packet called "Pathfinding."  It screams fall and a time for us to reflect upon our blessings.

If you are coming from Aggie's Blog, you are on the right track.  This is who is joining me on the hop if you were to get lost along the way:

I enjoy the fall weather and the reason for the season but I am not always about the fall colors.  I love the bright, summer colors so this color scheme is somewhat of a stretch for me but once I got this paper in my hands I thought otherwise.  I incorporated three patterns from this paper packet and really am pleased how this card came together.

I used one of our dimensional elements to add visual appeal to the focal point.  I applied Glacier ink to the tag, stamped the images and then used some embellishments to finish it off.  It is definitely a card fitting for this time of the year and I hope you like it.

Let me know what you think of my creation and then head on over to Marianne's Blog to check out her fun artwork.

Thanks for stopping by and happy hoppin'!
