Monday Montage 223 - Birthday Piggy

Happy Fall everyone.  My favorite time of the year.  I hope to be able to steal away for some quiet time to enjoy the fall colors and crisp air.  Its cozy time for good books, romantic movies, snuggles with my boys, and fresh baked cinnamon rolls.

As much as I love Fall and to create all things Fall, Thanksgiving and Halloween, I needed to make a birthday card and what a better way than with the birthday piggy stamp set, which by the way, you can get the coordinating dies to go with them.  The extras included are a major bonus.  

This little pig sure is in it's happy place, and that is the best place to be on your birthday!  This layout is super easy and creates a great focal point for your stamped image.

Monday Montage 222 - Fond of Autumn

The weather sure doesn't feel fallish - we have smoky air from all the surrounding fires and still temps in the high 90's/100's  Not usual for Utah.  Football season has started which makes me happy.  Another thing I am grateful for is the farmstand just down the road from us.  We are enjoying the fresh produce since we aren't able to grow our own.

I have been on the fence about the Fond of Autumn Bundle, but I caved and purchased the bundle.  I am so glad I did.  I am seeing so elegant and pretty options to make fall cards, palce cards for Thanks giving dinner, and tags for fall treats.  I love the die that cuts the floral pattern into the paper.  It provides a nice background.

We Create Blog Hop - Nourish and Flourish

I think I am ready for Fall.  The temps here are still around 100F and I am so grateful for air conditioning.  The "ber" months have started and I am going to appreciate it all!  We are still unpacking from the move, but making great progress.

Welcome to the We Create Blog Hop.  We are highlighting opportunities that Stampin'UP provides to give back to the community.  Currently they have a card kit available for purchase.  With every Kit purchased, they are donating $3 to organizations fighting to end food scarcity.  

I don't have the kit, but decided to make a card that will Nourish and hopefully help someone's spirit flourish.  Everyone needs to feel appreciated.  I especially appreciate those that extend helping hands and efforts to those in need.
