We've been outside soaking in the fall sunshine today. It seems to feel and smell different as fall settles in. The perfectly wonderful temperatures just don't seem to last long enough though. As fall comes on, my husband heads into the mountains on horseback with his dad hunting. This boy LOVES this time of year, gets a twinkle in his eye, and off he goes. They come back sunburned from their cheeks down and looking like two peas in a pod. Sierra is outside non-stop playing with a couple of new kittens, making clubhouses in the cedar trees, and collecting cups of cedar berries. And, it's wood chopping weather...I love the smell of freshly cut wood and to see it stacked on the porch makes me so thankful to know we'll be keeping warm through the winter.
Just a random post today filled with a few things I've been working on. This first card uses digital images from iralamija's etsy shop, Maya Road Hearts chipboard, My Mind's Eye and Melissa Frances paper, My Craft Spot scrunched seam binding, and Papertrey Ink stamps, the 2009 Autumn Tags and Harvest Berries sets.
And, been stitching up a few autumn cottage pin cushions. Love these yummy, warm, pumpkin pie-ish colors :)
The sweet chipboard pieces are also from Maya Road from the Sew Cute Mini Chipboard Set.
Enjoy the day!

What a beautiful card! The pin cushions are so adorable, too! We had a warm, rainy, humid day today. Looks like a bit of summer is going to return for a few days. I can't wait for the temps to go back to fall weather. Is that sweet little kitten one of your's?

Love your card and pin cushions. I too love this time of year but I'm not looking forward to all the rain. I just down loaded the same clip art a couple days ago and stared creating a couple cards with them. They are so cute. Thanks for sharing! Happy Fall to you and your family.

So,so pretty!!! It's always eye candy when I visit you and I love it! :)
I wish I had the patience to do a pin cushion. Yours always turn out so lovely and mine would NOT look like yours.
You are so lucky to have cedar around you...I can smell it and I'm sure you use the it decorate with for Christmas. Enjoy all the wonderful days you are experiencing now. kathy

Melissa--I finally got around to making your CUTE owl design from back in July! Thank you so much for sharing your creative ideas! All of the Papertrey gals are such an inspiration to me.
