Today I used three challenges to create my card: Paper Craft Crew Card Sketch #170, the PPA Color Challenge and Just Us Girls Trend Week #319. The trend was to watercolor so I pulled out some watercolor paper and the Lighthearted Leaves Stamp and the Aqua Painter to add the colors from the challenge.
I was fortunate enough to be able to attend the On Stage event in Vancouver WA this past weekend. It was a great event and full of stamping, getting to see the newest products, and getting to know new demonstrators. What was interesting to me is that many joined Stampin’ Up! to get the discount and fulfill their wish lists. They planned to just stay for 6 months or a year just to get the items they wanted at a discount. For many of them and myself included…. many years have passed and I guess our wish lists have not been completed yet 🙂
If you have questions, please let me know. Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!

The leaf is really stunning and the water color bg is the perfect accent to it! I adore blackberry bliss and think it’s genius to use purple as a fall color!
