Fall, faith and friendship....

Hello Friends!! I hope this post finds you all well. It has been so different with the weather this week. It feels like FALL!! The nights are cool but it warms up in the 70's during the day.

Since it feels like fall, why not make it look like fall too. I just love when the leaves on the trees change colors.

I made this card for three challenges at Splitcoast as well as a few others in blogging world. First and foremost I created this to honor our queen last week... Cheryl Scrivens(QFTD180)! Cheryl is my dear sweet friend and one of the most talented stampers I know. I am so honored to have this opportunity to case her. I chose this beautiful CAS card to case : using her basic layout and embossing the background with a Tim Holtz Brick Wall background but using my corner rounder as a border punch on three sides (CAS237) and brayering real leaves in tangerine tango and green galore (challenge TLC446) and then adding the Two step Butterfly from Our Daily Bread Designs.

The sentiment is from Apples and was chosen specifically for Cheryl!! Anyone who knows Cheryl knows that Faith is something she has a great deal of...if it would not have been this quote, it would have been her favorite verse: Proverbs 3: 5,6!! Thanks for being such a dear friend and inspiration in so many ways Cheryl!!

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you were inspired in some way by my creation. Have a blessed day!!!

blessings,

I was in your neck of the woods last Friday when my daughter and I visited my DIL after she had major back surgery. Lynchburg Gen. Hospital is a beautiful facility!; September 19, 2013 at 9:30 PM
