Autumn Blessings

It's been awhile since I shared on my blog. My husband and I recently relocated from Alaska to Southwest Missouri. It has been a whirlwind, but thankfully the movers recently delivered our vehicles and household items safely. We are somewhat settled, but sadly my craft room remains packed in boxes. I'm making the best of it and I've begun creating simply with what is at hand. It's beginning to feel a little like Fall in this area of the county. I'm anxious to see the fall colors which are amazing here in the Fall. That was the inspiration for my card today which features the adorable Maple Paws digital stamp by Di's Digi Designs.

Floral Birthday

While cleaning my craft room yesterday I came across a few panels in my stash that were colored. This features a digital stamp from a company who is no longer in business - Craftin Desert Divas. It is always sad when a craft company goes out of business. But I still enjoy using their great products! This image was colored with Copic Markers and die cut. The designer paper was also in my stash. A few pearls and digital sentiment complete the card. I would like to share my card with the following: Simon Says Stamp Wednesday: Focus on the Sentiment Allsorts Challenge: #828 Pretty Flowers Stamping Sensations: Summer Flowers Polkadoodles Challenge: #8 Anything Goes
