FALL BLOG HOP IS HERE!!!


Fall-Fun-Blog-Hop.jpg

Hi! Welcome to the Fall Fun Blog Hop! A group of online friends decided the holiday weekend in the US would be a GREAT time to get inky together, and so we've put together a fall themed blog hop to inspire you as the autumn approaches. As you meet our stampy bloggers today, you may discover that some have goodies for you, so be sure and visit everyone on the list. We have hoppers from all over the globe today, and they are AMAZING artists.

Thanks for visiting us - grab yourself a nice fall beverage and enjoy!
Here is the full list of our blog hoppers today:

I recently acquired some linen while visiting a garage sale a few weeks ago. This man took out a huge box of fabric swatches and asked if I would be interested. At first I said, "No, thank you!" But then I thought I should look through the box just to humor him. When I found a book of linen swatches in that box, I kinda did a little, "Oooooh!!" And then he told me to just take it! He was really looking to just get rid of it! I was happy to take that book of linen and so there's a piece of it on my card!

If you have any questions about how I made this card or what I used, please do not hesitate to ask!


Oh! And did I mention that I have put together a little BLOG CANDY for you!?! Just leave me a comment and let me know if you are interested in being entered. I will select the winner on Friday, September 9th 2011. 

I'm looking forward to hearing what you all think of my Fall card! 
Now head on over to my AMAZING Dirty Dozen Sister, Tammy Hershberger's blog and check out HER Fall Blog Hop card!!

Thanks for stoppin' by!

  69. Happy new year!
    I saw your gorgeous sunflower card on pinterest (http://pinterest.com/pin/255790453805323777) and was wondering how you did it? I'm getting married and wanted to make sunflower invitations (they're my favorite flowers and my grandma's (who recently passed) so I wanted to honour and remember her on my special day by making it sunflower themed) Your card is the most beautiful sunflower card I've ever seen! Can you email me summ3rdazed at yahoo dot com ? I'd love to know how you did it!
