Tiptoe into Fall



WELCOME TO THE AUGUST BLOG HOP!
Hi everyone!  Thanks for playing along in our August blog hop!  The Blog Hop with Sean & Regina is featuring cards and sentiments celebrating the fall season this month! After a very hot and humid July, most of us are looking forward to a cool and colorful fall! When we think of fall, our minds swirl like we are surrounded by falling leaves and a crisp cool breeze in the air. Each host/hostess will have a card creation posted that is his/her representation of what fall means to them.
OUR BLOG HOP SPONSOR!


Scrapbook Stamp Society is our blog hop sponsor!  The overall winner will receive digi’s from our sponsor.  Please visit them at http://scrapbookstampsociety.com/index.php?! Also some of our blog hop host/hostess designers will be offering blog candy as prizes on their blog sites, so please do not forget to visit his/her blog (and leave a comment) to be eligible for bonus blog hop prizes!



 I created my card using the adorable "On Tiptoe" stamp from Lily of the Valley and pulled out my fall collection of colored pencils and prettied her up.  The print papers used are from the Crate Paper Farmhouse 6 x 6 pad.  The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

    I'm so intimidated...I am very new to making cards and....I don't know if I can do this. I made my very first one two days ago and I look at it versus what you did. It looks so plain and inadequate. I know I will get better with practice...at least I hope. Such lovely work, thank you for sharing with us!
