happy birthday, stephanie!

Hi, friends! How was your weekend? Mine was crazy, full of unexpected, unwanted events (like a stomach bug, for one - UGH). But I'm looking at the positive and enjoying the sudden, cooler temps! Fall is finally in the air around here. Now that we've been living in area of the country that actually has seasons, I think autumn is my favorite. How about you?

Here's a card for my sweet fellow ABNH teamie, Stephanie K. It was her birthday a few days ago. So sorry I'm late, but happy belated birthday, Stephanie! :D


I just love this tablecloth image. LOVE. IT. I stamped it on acetate and then mounted it on to a smaller black card stock panel, so the black shows through where the flowers are, with the pool border around that. It's a cool look in real life. :)

And now for the giveaway I promised! I have a humble collection of brand new (unopened) Hero Arts goodies that need a loving home. There's a clear set, a cling stamp and a wood mount stamp...I've even thrown in a gorgeous Memory Box die!


Just leave me a comment telling me your favorite thing about fall, and I will use random.org to draw a winner on Saturday morning. One comment per person, please, and only comments received by 11:59pm Friday, August 24th will be accepted. Good luck! :)

Thanks for peekin'... see you Wednesday with a new Simon Says Stamp challenge! Hope you have a great week. ♥

I just love what you did with that tablecloth image!! I'm going to have to try that.

I live in Florida so we're still wearing shorts in the Fall, but it is nice to have a few cooler days. Lol :)

I love the change in leaf colour, all the reds, yellows and oranges are just beautiful. And watching my kids jump through piles of freshly raked leaves - it's so much fun.

Awesome card, love the black peeking through.

Ooh, what an awesome giveaway. What a clever idea you used on your card!

Nadège said...

My home is a stamp shelter, you can count on me to give good love to your goodies.
What I like about fall is that smell you only have when it's not so warm but not quite cold yet.
Thanks for the chance to win.

I love the way the light looks coming through the trees; it is such a relief after the harsh, hot rays of summer.

Unknown said...

Lisa this card is stunning! ;) (don't enter me in your give away... I just wanted to tell you how beautiful this card is!)

My favorite thing about Fall is Halloween. All those little cuties coming to my door to trick or treat in their sweet little costumes.

Dixie Cochran said...

Love your color combination on this one. Clever use of the acetate too!

Betty Meyskens said...

I have never stamped using acetate, but after seeing your card, I am definitely going to try it. Your card was so beautiful and had such a graceful air about it. My favourite thing about fall is watching the leaves turn colour.

Janet said...

I love the cooler nights and squash dishes in the fall...Traveling and seeing the colors change!

Love the colors on the card just beautiful!

God bless!

The leaves! We live at the bottom of a tree covered hill and I just LOVE coming home in the evening when the sun is setting and just lighting the hill up with all the different colored leaves! I'm so ready!!

Kathy H said...

I love fall weather in California. It's still warm and the days are still long but it's not too hot, and I love the colors!

Judy1223 said...

Your card is so pretty...I have not been able to manage stamping on acetate and having it look presentable! No need to enter me in your draw...however, I love starting to wear sweaters when fall arrives!

Tina said...

I hope life will slow down for you. This is one of the most beautiful cards, I have seen lately. Just love the stamping on transparency with black mat behind. Thanks for such a generous giveaway. Ussualy fall is the most stressful time of the year, because the school starts...but I love hiking woods in fall - all the warm colors calm me down. Hugs!
