One Autumn Morning

Autumn has really arrived here in the Mid West. Yesterday was 80 degrees and today we are at a whopping 46 degrees. With that in mind, it was easy for me to create this scrapbook page. I love having pages ready so that I can just add a few precious photo's and insert them into my book. 

I kept this page pretty simple. I dug into my autumn stamp drawer and found this beautiful poem by Nita Harksell. This is a Great Impression stamp that I inherited from a friend. It is One Autumn Morning coded J48 from Great Impressions. Not sure how recent this stamp is, but it is a gem. I couldn't even find it on the blog store site, so it really must be older. 
I also used a die of autumn leaves that embosses the veins of the leaves. Not sure who manufactured this die. I picked it up at a resale shop and I just love it. 
I  used Stampin'Up Four Frames for the poem title and the place a stamp tool to adjust the poem title. I used a burlap looking paper from the Paper Studio.

Well, my page is all ready, waiting for my special photo's. I am submitting this page for the Great Impressions Challenge Blog.  Thanks for stopping in today. Have a beautiful autumn day.

To Cheer You

Wow, where has the summer gone? I kind of left my crafting and replaced it with exercising. Our daughter is getting married in Hawaii in Oct and I needed to lose a few pounds (and more). So, in June, I started watching what I ate. Then I added walking into my day. Now, 2 1/2 months later, I am starting to jog. Never thought at my age that I would be jogging. LOL. 
I found a little time to make a card for a friend. I used the Stampin' Up set For All You Do.
My papers were from my stash. I think they all came from Michaels. The inside sentiment is from My Sentiments Exactly. The inks that I used are from CTMH.
Thanks for looking. Have a great day.
