Thanks!


We've had an unusually cool summer and with the boys heading back to school on Monday, fall has been on my mind.  These Verve pumpkins are one of my all time favorite pumpkin stamps.  I love the flourishes on them.  This is my fourth card set this week using the smaller SU note cards.  I'm going to have to try this card size more often as I love the small palette.  I added just a touch of patterned paper across the top with some twine to follow along with this week's Retro Sketch.  What about you?  Ready for fall to come?

They are pretty awesome pumpkins and I love the patterned papers you used! And yes, I'm ready for fall but it'll be the end of October before we start to feel it here!

I also experimented with smaller card sizes a few weeks ago, also found it
challenging in a way but also refreshing!
This is another great set Lynn!

These pumpkins are great! Yes, I am looking forward to fall. Only for the wonderful colors and not for what comes after. ;)

fall? really? Love this pumpkin.

No! Not fall yet! I am so not ready for summer to be over! But I DO love seeing your beautiful, autumn card set, Lynn!

ah, you must know by now that I am never ready for fall and I do not go gently, but kicking and screaming! LOL We've had a very sunny and hot summer and usually our September is the same. Your sweet little card set reminds me of one of my favourite field trips to the pumpkin patch that I do each year. I love the smaller canvas too and it's perfect for a quick little thank you...when's the craft fair? ox

Love the hexagon paper pumpkins - they are adorable! Fabulous use of the sketch too! We've had an abnormally warm and dry summer this year and are all doing a happy dance LOL! But alas, school starts in two weeks and the days are getting shorter. Fingers crossed for our typically nice September!

These are pretty pumpkin images and so is that sentiment!

Love your pumpkin images Lynn, thanks for enabling! LOL Your cards are super sweet and yes I love fall, but not quite ready for it!

Bobby said...

Those flourishes are great and the sentiment stamp fits right in. I'll be ready for fall by...October maybe.

Cute little pumpkins on a cute little card size! Love this, Lynn! I have to say that I feel ready for fall, but am a bit apprehensive to see it fully arrive as I know what follows... :)

Love the paper-piecing of the pumpkins!! The twines are absolutely perfect touches!

Oh, I'm so ready for fall. I adore the homespun feel to this set, and that gingham strip is right up my alley! LOVE!
