Five for Friday

1. I can't believe this is the last Friday of the summer!

We've enjoyed such a great summer and I'm not looking forward 

to seeing it come to an end....

2. Sage & I had a great time stamping and 

crafting with PTI's Stamp-a-faire last weekend!

It was so fun to participate in the challenges and I was quite thrilled to see

that I won a $25GC!

And super fun to see Sage & I featured a couple of times in the wrap-up video, too!

Edited to add: I just woke up this morning to the incredible news
that I won a $100 MFT Stamps GC!
I've been wanting their new Fall Florals stamp set & dies,
but with our CDN dollar right now, they were just too pricey!
So I figured I'd comment on all the DT's blogs
in the hopes if winning a GC & I did! :)

3. I thought it was time to pick the apples off of our tree...

but I think we're a little late. 

A lot have fallen already and when Sage, Jonah and I were trying to pick them

off of the tree yesterday morning, a bunch more would fall to the ground.

We got clever and moved the trampoline under the tree --

this way the apples that fell wouldn't get bruised.

I didn't get very many though.

I thought I'd make some pies, but I might just end up making applesauce.

4. Pretty excited about this...

I've had a lot of fun creating with this new release!

You won't want to miss the peeks...

5.  And lastly, I have a card to share

that I made using PTI's Twig Wreath stamp set.

I stamped the sentiment (from SSS's Big Scripty Sentiments stamp set)

in enchanted evening and blueberry sky, to give it a slight ombre effect.

I stamped all of the Twig Wreath elements in blueberry sky and spring rain.

With my Tim Holtz blending tool, I inked another strip of cardstock in blueberry sky

and then layered my stamped panel over top.

Thanks for looking!
