PP414 Colors of Fall

Happy Sunday, peeps!  Jaydee is our Paper Players hostess and I was happy to see these fall hues in her challenge palette:

I have lots of leafy stamps, but in the end, I chose a retired set called Thankful Forest Friends, along with the current Flourishing Phrases and Buffalo Check, to create my thankful fall card today:

I stamped my sentiment on a piece of Very Vanilla in Cajun Craze, and although it's hard to see, I stamped the wood image from Rooted in Nature first (it was inked in Sahara Sand, then stamped off).  I stamped the leafy parts of the stamp again in the challenge colors on scraps of VV, then fussy-cut them out and adhered them to the image:

I cut out three leaves from Flourishing Phrases and cut them out as well, because I used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches:

My final touches were to diecut the sentiment with a stitched die and add a scallop of Crushed Curry, then to layer it on a panel of Mossy Meadow, stamped with the Buffalo Check background stamp!  I love the homey feel of this!  And since it's a "thankful" card, I am also entering it in the Little Red Wagon challenge of Thankful for You!

Hope you will play with our challenge this week!  Check out what the DT did for even more inspiration:

No Cassidy pictures this weekend, but I do have a few pictures from the last couple days...John and I went to the Annapolis Boat Show with friends, who then took us to National Harbor, which is south of Washington, DC. I had never even heard of it, but it's a nice waterfront area with lots of fun shops and restaurants.  The day of the boat show, we finally had SUNSHINE!  We saw LOTS of boats:

We took a water taxi to another marina to see some more boats, and there were tables and a little Shasta trailer made into a bar, so we took a little break:

It was so nice to bask in the warm sun!  I'll show some more pix later!  Enjoy your day and be blessed!
