Here is another card created with the 'Best of Autumn' stamp set.

Wow.....we arrived safely here yesterday afternoon & had a great trip out.

It was fun having a traveling partner- as I met my demonstrator friend Dena Rekow at the Cedar Rapids Airport & we traveled here together.

At our connecting flight in Denver we met up with another 15 friends 

& got on our plane to St. George.

Upon our arrival at the hotel we had a luncheon of-

homemade chicken pot pies, salad & a brownie

(One of my favorite things!)

And it was yummy!

Then I spent the afternoon visiting with friends from all over the US & Canada.

It was great to see them all!

Last night we had our welcome dinner. 
This was my pillow gift waiting on my bed when I got back to my room last night.

Today we will be hanging out at the hotel & maybe doing some site seeing around town.

And tonight we have our Swap & Share Event.

I hope you have an awesome day!

Happy Stamping!
Hugs!

Lots of cards made with the 'Best of Autumn' set!

Good morning!
As most of you are reading this I'll be at airport on my way to 

St. George, Utah for this years Founders Retreat!

I'm very honored to have earned this retreat for the past 7 years in a row!

I am excited to get to see my demonstrator friends from all over the US & Canada.

We'll be spending the next 5 days together!

Check out all of the cards that I created using the new September Anniversary 

stamp set called- 'Best of Autumn'!

Yep- I kind of went crazy last Saturday morning just whipping all of these out in no time at all.

I shadow stamped the leaves onto the naturals ivory oval.

Then stamped another leaf onto a strip of naturals ivory & cut it out with my scissor snips & popped it up over the top of the other leaves with a dimensional.

I did the rock & roll technique when stamping these leaves.

I inked up the leaf stamp with a lighter color & the rolled the edges of it into a little darker colored & pressed it onto my card stock.

What a fun & easy way to add color to your leaves!
 

Oh how I love FALL!

Wow.......another busy day today......

We'll go for a walk & then have lunch at Rose's.

Mom's birthday was last week & she was gone on a trip, so we are looking forward to seeing her.

Tonight I'm a farmer!

We sell hogs- so I'll be helping Deke all night.

Then I'll be finishing my swaps, packing & getting ready to leave in the morning 

for Founders in St. George, Utah.

I didn't get but a couple hours of sleep last night & don't know if I'll get any tonight either.

There is still lots to do before I can go.

I am looking forward to seeing my friends there.

I hope you have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!
