2 Lanterns - AHSC 593

Hello! It is Monday again and Labour Day too! The official end of summer and back-to-fall routines and school!

And even though I am not ready for the cooler weather, I have been playing with Christmas cards this week and I have one to share with. you today!  I am usually a Christmas at the last-minute kind of person as I love to enjoy every last bit of the summer season however,  this year the release of Stampin' Up! sets like this one called Light the Year and the Sophisticated Sled stamp and die cut set that I have already highlighted have just had me excited about holiday cards.

Vintage Skates - Freshly Made Sketches #645

Hello! A Sunday night blog post from me! I have not been crafting as much as I would like due to an illness that has just kept going through our house since the beginning of July, I went down sick first at the beginning of July and was sick again the last few days, I felt better today and I had a new stamp and die cut set from Stampin' Up! that I have been so anxious and excited to play with that as soon as I felt up to it today, I was down at my table getting my craft on and playing with it. The ironic thing is I am a summer-loving girl and I want no mention of Christmas or even fall and winter until I enjoy summer to the fullest and I the anti-Christmas anything until I absolutely have to.... I made a Christmas card in July! I love Christmas and all the trappings but growing up in warm weather states and now living in snowy wintery Canada, I relish every minute of summer!

As you can see this is being submitted for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge, I finally got a card done in time to submit, yeah me!

Thinking of You - Hillside Cottage - AHSC 579

Hello, Happy Monday! Today's card for AHSC is from the retired CTMH Hillside Cottage collection. This collection seemed a perfect fit for this patchwork type of card. I combined it with the Flowers of Beauty stamp and die cuts from Stampin Up. I used Canary, New England Ivy, Flamingo, and Blue Belle from CTMH for the stamped images.
