Sketch N Scrap Card Sketch #227

Hello, everyone! Happy Wednesday to you! I hope that you are having a good week so far. The weather this week has been fantastic - with cool, crisp evenings and warm, sunny days. It's been very dry and no rain in the forecast for another week so I'm not sure we're going to get much of the beautiful fall colors. Our red maples along our driveway have already changed to a beautiful red, so maybe there is still hope that there will be some color this year.

Today I am sharing the card that I created for Sketch #227 at Sketch N Scrap. I have been on the Sketch N Scrap Social Media team for the last...year or so, I can't really remember, but we have a new team member starting this month and that means that I am back on the blog team! I will still be creating projects for the Facebook page but Stephanie will be joining Jan for our monthly crop challenges.

Here is the October 5th sketch - created by Sketch Artist Lisa:

This is such a great sketch and I know I will be using it for a Christmas card or two this year. Here is my card:

For this card, I used some of the scraps that I included in my Lisa & Lori's Great Stash Bash kit for this month, and if they look familiar it is because I have been trying to use up these papers and scraps for the last couple of years! I am determined to get them used up this month and if I don't they may just have to go into a purge box! I am tired of looking at them!

I fussy cut the flowers and acorns from one of the patterned papers, and the sentiment is the Kid At Heart stamp set from Pebbles. I stamped the sentiment with Espresso ink from Close To My Heart. One of my goals this month is to use my stamps more, and here is my first project done - and I did some stamping! 

Head on over to the Sketch N Scrap blog to see the sketch and the beautiful cards from the design team. I would love to see your take on the sketch, too!

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today! Have a great day!
