Fall Is Here And Class Is In Session

Fall is definitely here, here in West Virginia. Today's high was in the 50's and very gloomy...more like an early winter type of day. So that means classes are in session. I've scheduled my very first Christmas Card Stamp-a-stack and am busy getting all arranged for those. If you're in the area and would like to sign up for those classes, check out my SU page, or click on the icon to the right to read about the classes. I still have room and since the classes aren't till November, you have a little tickle room for time. I'd LOVE to have you!

My Scrapbook Club asked for a change in our venue so here's a card we're going to do (if all goes well) at our club meeting next week. (I'm not sure they read my blog so I'm not giving anything away...I don't think.) We've changed the format just this once - one page and two cards. This is one of the cards. I absolutely LOVE this chocolate satin ribbon! Who would have thought how luscious it looks against the deep Rich Razzleberry?!! Gorgeous! I used Rich Razzleberry for the base card, Whisper White for the sentiment and Old Olive for the scalloped border. Believe it - the leaves are cut from the Bright Blessings jumbo roller!! The original card that I CASE'd called for another stamp set that I didn't have (“Falling Leaves”) so I improvised using the Bright Blessings jumbo roller, a companion to the Falling Leaves stamp set. I used Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive and Dusty Durango markers for coloring the leaves, held on to the two posts on the roller and then rolled the inked portion onto Whisper White paper. I cut the leaves out and used Stampin' Dimensionals to layer the leaf images to Old Olive and Dusty Durango card stock! Woo! Yum! The Chocolate Chip satin ribbon is simply double knotted around the front, the ends cut in an inverse “v”; the “Give Thanks” is from “Holiday Best” and is stamped in Chocolate Chip and Old Olive on Whisper White card stock; and the scalloped edge is done in Old Olive.
