Recipe card Monday ~Breakfast~

I am not much of a breakfast person. I love to have breakfast foods such as pancakes at night more than of a morning. I had to think of a recipe that ones like me who do not do breakfast could use. With fall here and the crisp mornings I decided to share this latte recipe. I am not a coffee drinker either but I love lattes when its cold out. I used a stamp set from Sweet 'n Sassy stamps "Warm Up" and the other supplies can be found at Scrapbook Store At Your Door. To play along create a "Breakfast" recipe card to share with us at Recipe Challenge Blog. Leave a comment with a link so we can try it.

Autumn

Looking around blog world, there are a few challenge blogs that challenge you to make a Autumn card. Stamp With Fun, My Time To Craft, and All Sorts all have Fall themed challenges. The challenge for my sisterhood of the Blogging Stampers is Fall themed as well. My card also fits two more challenges. One Stop Craft has a theme of "Diecuts". The sketch is from the Paper Blooms blog challenge. My card uses the Set Encouragement from Sweet 'n Sassy stamps. I love the scripture stamps Sweet 'n Sassy has to offer.

Baby Invites

These are some Baby Shower Invitations I made for a friend whose daughter is having a baby boy. She is using monkey's and this monkey stamp from Peachy Keen was perfect. I colored him with Copic markers. To add some texture and character I paper pieced the Umbrella, flocked his diaper and put some liquid glass on his pacifier.

This card I am sharing uses a new release from Sherrod Studio "Pond Friends". It's a cute set which also has some duckies in it as well. For my card I only used the dragonfly. I used Stickles on the wings to give them a sparkle. The inside reads Flying by to say hi.

Autumn Blessings

Autumn is my favorite time of year! I love going to the mountains to see all the leaves turning and the beauty of God's creation. This set Autumn Blessings from Sweet 'n Sassy stamps is a perfect set for creating fall cards. I just love that quote. To give my leaf a sparkle I colored it with my Copic markers first then added some Cinnamon and copper stickles.

Never Forget!

I just wanted to say that all of us as United States Citizens should be in prayer for the families of those who lost their lives 8 years ago today! And be thankful that we live in a country where we are free to worship our God when and where we want. We should also be thankful for the men and women who defend our country in the military everyday. my daughter will be leaving for Air Force basic training on Monday. Because of this today and every holiday that represents freedom will have a new meaning for me!

Fall- To- Layout 58

My card share tonight is a sketch from the Clean and Simple Stamping blog. This card started out to be a birthday card I needed for Tuesday. It quickly turned into a Christmas card, because of the colors. The girl I am making it for favorite colors are red and green. I think I may just have to go green :)
