Friday Mashup, Colour Q and Retro Sketches {Give Thanks}

What an honour to be mentioned in the CAS Favourites this week on Splitcoast Stampers. Thank you to Susan!!!


Wow, October is almost here! September has flown by and the cooler weather seems to be on its way for us here. We have been enjoying sunny days and clear skies but the rain started lightly this morning and it is kind of a relief...Fall is here and it feels good. My voice is scratchy and I have the chills. My throat was burning last night and I have a drippy nose! Yuck. Hopefully the weekend will mend me.

{Supplies Used}
Stamps: French Foliage, Hand Penned Holidays
Inks: Rich Razzleberry, Soft Suede, Pumpkin Pie and Dusty Durango
Papers: Soft Suede, Dusty Durango and White
Extras: Big Shot, Button, Twine, Snips, Woodgrain Embossing Folder

Thank goodness for fun challenges and a chance to create! I have missed crafting so much and have actually been sketching again in my sketch book. I also was so inspired by all the gorgeous cards out there, I ordered some new Stampin' Up goodies for Christmas card making. The order should arrive today and I hope to put my new goodies to use soon. Now I need to tidy my craft room and purge some older things. Sigh...I need a house for all of my stamping supplies!
