Fall Farmhouse Thanks

Hi there peeps!  Happy Saturday!  Hope you have some fun things planned this weekend!  Ours is planned to be QUIET!! I got most of my chores out of the way yesterday so I have a free day. YAY!  I know I keep gushing about all the new goodies in the holiday catalog, I just can't help it.  Today I am sharing a card that uses several new goodies!  Check it out:

The wreath and pumpkin dies are from Seasonal Swirls; originally I had stamped a bunch of leaves from the Sparkle of the Season stamp, but when I diecut the wreath, I thought it looked better "bare"!  I colored the leaves on the wreath with Blends and Markers, then diecut pumpkins from Pumpkin Pie and Mango Melody cardstocks, adding some shading to give them some depth.  I mounted the wreath on a stitched panel from the Stockings die which was embossed with the Tasteful Textile embossing folder.  Before embossing, I stamped the "thank you" from Little Delights.  Then I adhered ALL of it on a panel of Tidings of Christmas DSP and a Basic White card, and embellished it with some black & white gingham ribbon....LOVE it!

This went out in the mail to a customer, but I might just have to make another one, I loved it so much!  I also think I'll add it to the Just Us Girls challenge this week, which is "Harvest"! 

Thanks for popping in today!

I have a confession to make; yesterday I was rather grumpy doing my chores.  I really wanted to be in my stamp room, or at the pool, or anywhere other than where I was.  One of my chores was to chop and freeze about 2 dozen gypsy peppers from the garden.  I was really having a pity party for myself when I cut the top off one of the peppers and saw this:

Now, how can one be grumpy when a smiling pepper appears on your cutting board?  It did make me feel better!!!  Plus, I got one more birthday card in the mail yesterday too, from my friend Teri.  She said it was inspired by my farmhouse kitchen!  She nailed it!  It made me feel better too:

Enjoy your day and be blessed!
