Monday Montage … my favorite Mondays of every month!
I had such a crazy, busy weekend that I wasn’t sure where to squeeze in some crafty time … got up VERY early this morning to get it done!
Talk about your “quick and easy” card! This one is just that!!
I used this great plaid DSP from the Gathering Together pack of DSP and that is almost the trickiest thing I did for this!!
I cut one of the dies from some Early Espresso cardstock and just added a little bit of highlighting with my white gel pen.
A little bit of White Baker’s Twine for the bow and a few Low Profile Sparkle Dots and this was DONE!
This doesn’t happen very often for me (doing a relatively quick and easy card), so I’m taking it as a win!
Stamps: Gathering Moments Paper: Basic White, Early Espresso, Cajun Craze, Gathering Together DSP
Ink: Versamark, White Gel Pen Accessories: Gathering Moments Dies, White Baker’s Twine, Low Profile Sparkle Dots Basic White Embossing Powder

Everything but the kitchen sink??? Yeah … I’ve got that!! Welcome to this week’s TGIF Challenge!
I received the most adorable “On Display” Bundle in my happy mail last week … and what could be more perfect for this challenge than a set that lets you just keep adding and adding and adding???
I used some of the Woven Textures DSP as my “anchor” for this card … wanted to step a little outside the norm. Isn’t it cute?? I mean, the kitty was PERFECT considering we just adopted a new kittty!
I also incorporated the new “Beautiful Pattern” embossing folder to use as a backdrop to my little wicker bookcase … love it!
And … I cheated! I added the now-retired Smoky Slate Pearls because they are just too-too perfect for me not to!!
A couple little tabs of 3/8” White Fluffy Trim and this card was done!

Tonight is Halloween and the trick or treaters will be out in full force (I get around 200!). Afterwards, it’s a pot of pumpkin white bean chili and a fun Halloween movie with family and friends! Can’t wait!
We’d love to have you play along!! You can check us out our blog HERE and Instagram … lots of great inspiration from the rest of the TGIF Crew!

This month the Stampin’ Fancy Friday Team is all about Regals … you know those rich and lovely colors??? Yep! That’s where we live this month!
Crisp and crunchy fall leaves … and the colors and smells of fall … are my favorite!!
I stamped and diecut leaves in four colors using the Gathering Moments Bundle. I used four of Stampin’ Up’s Regals - Pretty Peacock, Old Olive, Cajun Craze and Crushed Curry.
After stamping and diecutting the leaves I crunched them all up … literally! I wanted to make them look like they had been plucked right out of a pile of leaves from my back yard!
.
I complimented the crunchy leaves with some 3/8” Irregular Weave Trim and LOTS of splattering … I used all four colors!
I also added a few Low Profile Sparkle Dots and roughed up the edges of the splattered piece of cardstock to finish it off.

I went on a beautiful 6-mile hike with a friend this morning … we watched the sun come up over the mountains and it was simply gorgeous!!
Staaaaaawwwp it! What’s NOT to love about this sneak peek of the Friendly Foliage Bundle and Lasting Linen Background Stamp??? I am OBSESSED!!!
I was able to preorder these lovely items - and they will be available for you to purchase November 1!!
Nothing fancy here … it’s all the work of the stamps and dies!! I did throw in a little accent piece using the Timeless Plaid DSP because it is just too-too good!
The Friendly Foliage Dies are just beautiful … and the Lasting Linen Background Stamp is perfection! I KNOW I will be using it a LOT!!

Here’s the picture of our new little kitty, Willow, that I promised! Isn’t she just ADORABLE??? And so is soooo bitsy tiny and VERY sweet! I love her already … even when she wakes up at 3:30am and wants to play with my hands and fingers!!!
Soooo excited to share with y’all again today for our Monday Montage Hop! I have been DYING to make a card with the dog image from “Long Time No See” for a while, and I finally got it done!
Seriously??? Isn’t he the CUTEST??!??
I have been wanting to make this and use some DSP for the doggie’s sweater … Gathering Together for the WIN!
Both the doggie’s sweater AND the background came from the same pack of DSP … and I LOVE it!
I used a sentiment and the little critter paws images from Pet Love to compliment all the feels from this little dachshund!
I also used the Perennial Postage Dies (AGAIN!) to make the sentiment panel and a little spot to write on the inside.
The paw prints were stamped with Versamark and heat embossed with Basic White Embossing Powder.
How about that leash?? I braided 3 pieces of Linen Thread and made sure the leash lined up when the card was closed as well.
Stamps: Long Time No See, Pet Love Paper: Basic Very Vanilla, Pecan Pie, Old Olive, Gathering Together DSP

I was recently messaged that the photos on my blog said “content not available in your area” in places outside the US … UGGGGHHH! I have been struggling with photos/quality for months now and had been using Imgur to host my blog photos … but apparently Imgur has decided NOT to play well with Blogger outside of the country! DRAT!! I think I have the problem fixed now … crossing my fingers!
