Peace, Love, Joy
Hello friends! It's been a beautiful sunny day here in BC and I was able to sneak in a little inky time to play along with PTI's Make it Monday challenge. I loved Melissa's card so much that I went with the same elements but changed the colours and sentiment. Thanks for stopping by! Hope you are having a fun weekend!

Autumn
Blessings everyone! Okay, it's official...I'm loving Fall! Yes, me,
the person who used to snub fall and turn her nose up at the thought of
autumn can't get enough of the cooler weather and gorgeous fall
colours. I'd like to thank Mother Nature for the amazing colour palette
and menopause for the temperature adjustment! LOL! I should also give
thanks to Julee for creating these glorious stamps and dies that could
change anyone's mind about the current season. I'm using the new Viva La Verve sketch to showcase the new Verve goodies in the store right
now!

Let it Snow
Let it snow? No, not yet! I finally have a few hours in the studio and wanted to participate in this month's PTI Creat Along with Us challenge. I go to PTI's Pinterest board, click on "Pins," then pick one of the many gorgeous cards pinned there. I'm going with another Melissa creation seen HERE.
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you get some time to create something this weekend too :) Take care!
Grateful ~ Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge
Hello everyone! I'm back with the newest challenge over on the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge blog. This time we’re inspired by this photo…
I wish I had a huge pumpkin die, but I don't...so I grabbed the next best thing, a maple leaf! I die cut the edge of the leaf long with the sentiment out of glitter cardstock and mounted it on some vintage white cardstock. It was difficult to see the glittery "Grateful," so I die cut another "Grateful" out of espresso cardstock and layered it underneath the glittery one.
Want to play along? Head over to the Curtain Call blog for more inspiration and then join in the fun! Thanks for stopping by!

Verve Diva Inspirations Challenge and Blog Hop
It's time for the Verve Divas to bring you our monthly Diva Inspirations Challenge and Blog Hop!
There are TWO $30 gift vouchers to the Verve store up for grabs this month and two ways to win! First, comment on the design team's blog hop posts (linked below) for an entry in the first giveaway. Then to be entered into our challenge prize drawing, go get inky and link up your take on the challenge. You have until November 5 to link up. Feel free to play along with the challenge as many times as you like. Verve stamps aren't required to play, but we do smile a little brighter when we see them!
The
crisp, cool change in the weather, brings thoughts of warm beverages
and long crafting sessions. This sweet little beverage nook has lots of
hidden treasures to be inspired by. Follow our colour pattern, or take
flight from the inspiration, you decide! We can't wait to see what you
create.
For this month's inspiration, I focused on the colours against a neutral background. We spent the Canadian Thanksgiving Day weekend with my brother and his family and I gave this card to my sweet SIL for an early birthday surprise (a little bag of my homemade cards :). She is definitely a beautiful soul :) I'm also using Julee's Viva La Verve sketch.

Verve October Spotlight ~ Day 4
Welcome back to Day 4 of our October Spotlight Hops! The Verve Divas and special guests are back for another day of spotlighting our new release! Everything previewed this week is available to order in the Verve shop. If you've arrived here from Vickie's blog, you are on the right track!
Today we're sharing our first projects featuring the Autumn Blessings stamp set and coordinating Autumn Thanks Die Set.
I'm keeping it simple with this one. A friend recently asked me to make her a set of thank you cards that have to go through the mail. They also had to be gender neutral (no girly stuff! HA!). I think that gorgeous wreath fits the bill with a sweet rustic twine bow :) Now head over to Christyne's blog for more inspiration!
