Weekly Wanderings

 Sunday, September 25, 2022

Happy Sunday! Fall has arrived here in the Willamette Valley and it is beautiful! Cool mornings and warm, occasionally hot, afternoons. Now, if we could just get some rain to turn everything green again and settle the dust!

Our weekly wanderings have been limited. Since we started watching our granddaughter two days a week about a month ago now, we kind of got out of our schedule. And we might be a little exhausted! LOL! A baby is a lot of work! But oh! so great! And the Farmer has been working...digging in fields to repair drainage tile, cutting wood, etc. He is so happy when he works like this! LOL! 

So, here are a few pics of Sweet P.

She comes fairly early in the mornings and joins us on our morning walk with our dog, Jake. 

She was helping Gigi make muffins! Her hair was a fright this day. 😅

She found Poppy on the backhoe and checked it out! I sent this picture to her mama and can only imagine what she was thinking! The backhoe was not running, so no loud noises and all was safe! For us putting our children on the equipment was always a part of our life. Sweet P was undaunted and wanted to hang on to the steering wheel! 

I could go on and on but I think that is good for now. I don't want to be too much! LOL! 

Happy Stamping, my friends!

Leaves

Today's card is just in time for the start of fall!

The Paper Players have a CAS challenge this week #PP609:

For my card I used a stitched rectangle die to cut a piece of the Abigail Rose DSP and adhere it to my Basic White card base. I cut the leaves from Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive and Merry Merlot cardstock using a leaf die from Gathered Leaves dies (retired). Each leaf was popped up on a dimensional. The sentiment from Etched in Nature (retired) is stamped in Basic Gray, cut with a stitched rectangle die and popped up with dimensionals. I added a few matte decorative dots (retired) in Old Olive to finish the card. That's it! Happy fall, ya' all!

Happy Stamping!

More Pumpkins!

It is definitely pumpkin season around here! And pumpkin spice everything! I'm a fan! Today's card is for the Retro Rubber Challenge #RRCB191.

And here is my card:

I used Stampin' Up!'s Gather Together (retired 2020) for the pumpkins. I stamped them in Memento Black ink and colored them with SU! Blends in Pumpkin Pie. The sentiment and the speckles are from SU!'s Etched in Nature (2021).  

Happy Stamping!

Pumpkins

Today's card features Newton's Nook Autumn Oval for the Inky Paws Challenge #182 Color Challenge.

Orange, green, black, and cream are the colors and this is my card:

I used a black card base and then layered my ovals using the orange gingham from Newton's Nook Autumn 6 x 6 paper pad, then a scalloped oval in black and the autumn oval of pumpkins. I colored the pumpkins with SU! Blends in Pumpkin Pie and Pale Papaya and the leaves in various shades of green.

Happy Stamping!
