Happy Fall Blog Hop!


Welcome! Today marks the start of There She Goes release week, and I have a card I love to share today! But first...big news...


Today we are peeking our first set from long time designer, and now ILLUSTRATOR, Danielle Lounds!! Happy Fall is full of fun images, and awesome sayings and fonts, perfect for all your Fall scrapbooking and card making needs.

Happy Fall is a 4x6 set that includes a total of 16 stamps and will sell for $15


I did have another card made to share today...but when I saw some of my fave challenges, I HAD to stop everything and make another (I'll share the first card next week!)

I was SO inspired by the Gorgeous Gourds Curtain Call Challenge. The Cardabilities Sketch #85 had just the right feel for my card and the JUGS211 colours were perfect to use with the new Persimmon papers from Basic Grey! I'm also playing along with the Basic Grey Challenge to use food or drink - yummy pumpkin!


I coloured the pumpkin with Distress Markers and added lots of stitching and sponging. Vintage Photo is my go-to sponging colour at the moment, love the warm tone! Here's a closeup look at the gorgeous stamp!



Here's the inside of my card...


Would you like to win the new Happy Fall stamp set? Here is what you need to do-visit the Trendsetter’s blogs that are participating in each of the blog hop challenges below and comment on their creations as you go.
