An Autumn Thank You

 

4 challenges inspired today's card...

The Paper Players // #PP757 ...A sketch challenge!!  For this sketch they said that we could use any shape but I liked the idea of a circle...a layered up stitched circle to be exact.

Addicted to CAS // #292 ...A clean and simple "code word" challenge!!  The code word for this current challenge is LEAVES!!  This code word had me pull out my Spellbinders leafy branch die.

Papercraft Challenges // #122 ...A theme challenge!!  AMAZING AUTUMN is the theme for this current challenge!!  I love the color changing of this leaves this time of year.

TGIF Challenges // #tgifc544 ...A product challenge!!  For this current challenge they are showcasing Stampin Up's Gathering Together Suite collection.  I don't have this suite but they did say that was a-okay...I used the Stampin Up colors highlighted in the collection...Early Espresso, Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze, and Old Olive.

Never Before Used Schtuff // #NBUS79 ...The NBUS blog doesn't give challenges but offers a great place to show off those items that have never been used...whether they are brand new or items that you have had for a while but haven't gotten around to using.  Today I am using the "i adore you" sentiment form a Unity Stamps set that I have had for a long time, but...the paper we still on the back of this sentiment stamp.  For all the times I have used this set I have never inked up this sentiment stamp.
