Napkin Rings

Laura made a set of these beautiful napkin rings for my birthday.  You can make them too! All you need is Cocoa Cardstock, our CTMH burlap, a stamped leaf image and hemp.  The leaves are stamped on colored cardstock using a darker ink.  You might use Goldrush Cardstock with Autumn Terracotta ink. 

These will be beautiful on your Thanksgiving table!  A great big thank you to Laura for making my napkin rings for me!

perfect fit perfection

HAPPY NOVEMBER!!!! I spent all of September trying to get ready for the craziness of October - and suddenly October is GONE. And now I better scramble to get ready for the craziness of December! The fall season is SO much fun - but it goes by SO quickly!

I can't get enough of the Perfect Fit stamps.  If I haven't yet convinced you of their versatility, then perhaps today's post will seal the deal.   

I stole my own idea, from some other cards I created. (Now that I'm thinking of it, I think it might even be similar to one of the Halloween cards I did.)  This was the perfect layout for the stamps, and I tried out a fun cool color combo, Pear and Sky. LOVE it with the white. 
And then, with my scraps I whipped up another version of it, on a smaller 4x4 card base.  There are lots of ways you could take this same idea and twist it, turn it, change it up, and make it your own.   


 Have a fabulous day!
Laura,


Trick or Treating in NC

We had a great time in Dillsboro and Webster NC trick or treating.  One highlight was the fire station where both boys were able to sit in a big fire truck!  It's so fun to be in NC with cold weather and sharing it with our family!  Pictured above are our daughter, Laura, our mad scientist Bryce, and our fireman Tanner.  We were in one of our favorite bookstores, City Lights.
