Fall is coming

Happy Wednesday!!  That means it's time for another What If? Wednesday challenge from The House That Stamps Built.  This week we have a fan favorite: Anything Goes.  It doesn't get any easier than that!

I LOVE summer.  I hate being cold and I love being able to have the windows open letting the air flow in.  But, it has been hot and pretty humid here in southern New England for the past several weeks and I am ready for a bit of Fall weather.  That and I just received some new Repeat Impressions stamps in the mail last week.  It put me in the mood to make a fall card.  Because, I also LOVE fall!  Love the leaves, the pumpkins, the apples . . . And sweaters . . . and I could go on and on, but I won't.  So, here is my inspiration card for you:

 Everything except the brown card stock is from the same paper pack, even the leaves.  I love this pack as it is fall themed, but has some great color combos that you wouldn't necessarily think of for fall. The little rafia bow was left over from something (no idea what) and is one of those things I just couldn't throw away, 'cause you might need it sometime, right?  Here's a close up of my cute little plaid pumpkin:

The sentiment is actually from a larger stamp; I masked the part I didn't want to use and ended up with "give thanks".  The entire sentiment reads "Let us Give Thanks", but I only needed a small sentiment so the masking worked out perfectly.  Remember, if you "NEED" any of the stamps I used, I have a 10% off your ENTIRE order code over there in my left sideboard.

Supplies:
Stamps: Repeat Impressions "Tall Pumpkin" and "Let us . . ."
Dies: Spellbinders "Classic Circles, large" and "Teardrop Circles"; MFT leaves
Papers: Authentique "Grateful"\

Challenges:
Die Cutting Divas #281--anything goes
Pixie's Crafty Workshop #244--anything goes with snippets (only the card base and the base layer grid paper were from whole sheets.  The rest are all from snippets.)
Viva La Verve September week 2--sketch

As You Like It--favorite shaped card base (I almost always use an A2 rectangle as you can get two cards from a sheet of 8x11 card stock)
