Today’s card is one of the Share What You Love CASEs that I featured at my Fall Bingo event. I slightly changed a few things from the example card, but kept it mostly the same.

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card featuring Candy and Treats. I wanted to feature the pretty Silver Glitter Ribbon and the fun Spider Trinkets. I played off of the colors in the witch hat DSP to coordinate my ink and cardstock. Simple, fun card.

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card featuring trees, leaves, and/or pinecones. I pulled out a few leftover stamped trees from the Sheltering Tree stamp set and found an autumn colored one. Perfect to feature a nice tree image. I did a few cardstock layers, but the card was missing some kind of bling. I added bit of Very Vanilla Lace Trim and a shiny Gold Faceted Gem to complete the card.

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a Get Well Card. For these types of cards, I gravitate toward bright colors and floral images. So I decided to play off of both of things and feature the hanging baskets from the Hanging Garden stamp set and the beautiful Garden Impressions DSP. I pulled colors out of the DSP to color in my baskets. Simple card, but effective.

In the midst of moving, I made a small Stampin’ Up! order with some colorful goodies! I picked up a Crushed Curry reinker, Garden Green Baker’s Twine, Poppy Parade Ink Pad, Brights Markers, and Call Me Clover Blends.
I also received my planner sticker order from Nerd’s the Word Sticker Co. I love her kits and functional stickers. So I got a mix of both and earned myself a free sheet and a fun add-on for her PR Girl Battle.
Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card and feature a soup of the day recipe. I love when the weather cools down just enough to enjoy a giant pot of soup. One of my favorite soup recipes is for Sausage, Potato, Spinach soup. It’s a hearty soup with just the right amount of spice for my spicy husband. I took the recipe from Damn Delicious and it really is!
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound spicy Italian sausage, casing removed
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, diced
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
5 cups chicken broth
1 bay leaf
1 pound red potatoes, diced
3 cups baby spinach
1/4 cup heavy cream
Directions:
Heat olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add Italian sausage and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the sausage as it cooks; drain excess fat.
Stir in garlic, onion, oregano, basil and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring frequently, until onions have become translucent, about 2-3 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Stir in chicken broth and bay leaf, and bring to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
Stir in spinach until it begins to wilt, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in heavy cream until heated through, about 1 minute; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Serve immediately.
And while I love a good pot of soup, the weather outside also call for the perfect cup of tea. I decided to make a card featuring a great cup of tea! I really fell for the Tea Room Suite in the annual catalog and this is the perfect use of the suite!

I took all my Memory Planning supplies with me to Indiana. As we are just hanging out while our stuff travels across the country, I had some time to do a bit of crafting. I am missing two photos in the last week, but it will get them printed in my next batch. I also somehow forgot to do my Monthly Stats day at the end of the month, so I will put it on October 1st.
Today’s card was featured at my Fall Bingo event. This card turned out more simple than I intended, but I have to say that I like the result. You can’t quite see the details, but the white background pane is shimmery to connect with the shimmery Frosted Floral DSP.

Today’s card was featured at my fall Bingo event. I started with a general idea of a card and started adding tons of texture! I had seen a card featuring stamps floral images surrounding a pretty stitched shape framelit, but I realized that I didn’t have any of the floral stamps that I saw. So I improvised and fussy cut these beautiful shimmery flowers from the Frosted Floral DSP pack. I love the colors and textures on this card so much. If I had to pick, my favorite piece is the Tranquil Tide Velvet Ribbon. So beautiful and must touch!
