And the Monthly Train Rolls On ...

Hello Stamplings!

I hope you are doing well wherever you are! Now that I've gained five pounds Halloween is behind us, I have a final fall birthday card to share and from hereon, the lads and I will be frolicking about making Christmas cards!

I had the SSS Feathery Fronds e/f and the Altenew Autumn Bounty Die Set on my desk from earlier makes. A little blended ink on the fronds and intentional color matting brought them together like that's what I intended all along. 

Hammy and Stanley added the frost on the pumpkin as this year's harvest draws to a close. Playing in Inkspirational Challenge: Visual Prompt Fall Photo.

I stayed with fall colors, but made them bold and bright to break out my NBUS stencil from The Greetery called, "Deco Triangles." I used Concord & 9th ink and paper, also for the first time, coupled with an ancient sediment banner from PTI.

This simple Christmas design uses my NBUS stamp bundle from Hero Arts called, "Color Layering Holly Branch Bundle." The sediment is also from the same set and the diagonal strip and mat are cut from red glossy card. The lads added more gloss by dropping SU Shimmery Crystal Effects onto the berries and their toes!

Enjoy your week! No, seriously, enjoy! LITS!* 

My posts will be hit or miss in the coming weeks and I'm taking a break in December for sure. We've lots of appointments coming up, my physical therapy has started, and we are having landscaping done to both the front and back yards beginning this week.

Oh, and a coupla hunnert Christmas cards need to be made! I think I may just do card fronts again this year; like post cards in an envelope. It saves a lot of time and paper and I believe the message is still appreciated.

As always, thank you for coming by to visit the Playhouse! Take good care of yourself!

Mwah!

*Life is too short!
