Monday Montage #176

I woke up this morning to snow.  I know we have been lucky and had a fabulous Fall season, but we sure slammed into freezing cold weather.  The positive outlook is that I can wear my sweatshirts and sweatpants to keep warm.  Drink hot cocoa,  and snuggle under the blankets with my doggo. I hope you are keeping warm as you go through the blog hop.

I opted today for my card, to copy what everyone else is doing.  And why not.  This layout provides such a versatile template that looks great no matter what colors or DSP you use or sentiment.

Stamps - Gather Together 

Ink - Pretty Peacock

Paper - Whisper White, Plaid Tidings DSP

Accessories - Linen Thread, 2019-2021 in color faceted dots, Pinewood Planks EF, Gathered Leaves Dies, Banners Pick a Punch

I can't believe how fast the holidays are upon us.  I walked into the grocery store yesterday only to find Christmas where the Halloween stuff was supposed to be.  It was a little shock to my system.  All I could think was Nope, Nope and Nope.  Not ready...not yet.  Are you ready to take on the holidays?

Monday Montage 175

Welcome to the Monday Montage Blog Hop

I am so loving this Fall Season this year.  The colors have been so brilliant.  I even got my husband into the car for a short drive up Emigration Canyon and then down Parleys.  We are nearing the end, but still the colors are so pretty.  Which was the inspiration for my card this week.  I can't stay away from that gorgeous plaid paper.

I colored the ribbon with Cherry Cobbler Marker and colored the holly leaves to look fallish. Layout inspired from the Aug-Dec Mini Catalog.  There are so many fun things to see and ways to be inspired in the catalog.

Stamps - Gift Wrapped

Ink - Cherry Cobbler, Versamark

Paper - Blackberry Bliss, Very Vanilla, Brushed Metallic, Plaid Tidings DSP

Accessories - Gift Bow Builder Punch, Sequins For Everything, Many Marvelous Markers, Gold Embossing powder

“Go back?” he thought. “No good at all! Go sideways? Impossible! Go forward? Only thing to do! On we go!” (Bilbo Baggins)  The new left knee for my husband has been exactly that.  My boy crush is improving every day.  Even though the healing process hasn't quite fit what I had imagined - "On We Go!"  Between work and taking care all the other things life brings, I look forward to down time and a little bit of crafting.

We Create - You Go Ghoul

What a beautiful Fall day.  I soooo love this time of year.  Of course this is not news if you read my blog.  It is hard to stay at my desk in my office when I would rather be outside traipsing the mountains, going on picnics, finding out of the way cafes for yummy burgers and fries with my husband and dog.  

Welcome to the We Create Blog Hop - I hope you see something that inspires you to create or makes you smile.

Halloween is a fun part of Fall - And a major part of Halloween is the treats right???  Chocolate and Caramel are my faves!

Stamps - Celebration Tidings

Ink - Black

Paper - Cajun Craze, Basic Black, Magic in the Night DSP

Accessories - White embossing powder, Basket Weave & Metallic Ribbon Combo Pack, Celebration Label Dies, Banners Pick A Punch

Funny thing, when I went to take the picture of my project...look what I found right next to it.   Spider web and all.

Very fitting for the project - Don't ya think.  

I am looking forward to all that October has to bring.  My husband has a new left knee and is getting more mobile every day.  The Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has its semi-annual general conference which is a major spiritual boost for us.  All things pumpkin, and cool enough to snuggle in blankets on the couch.
