Amuse Challenge #4 - PUNCHES - Hello Pumpkin

Okay, I know this has been done a bajillion times before and I know that I am not the original creator, however, I also do not know who to credit for the original idea. Basically, I got this adorable amuse stamp with using it with this kind of punch pumpkin in mind, and then this challenge just gave me the push to make the stinking card already, so I did. I used I piece of cuttlebugged card stock that I had generously sent to me in the mail -- it was embossed with the swirls template. I hand stitched the corners of the card stock with some embroidery floss I had on hand and a needle. I stamped the stem from SU's "Carved and Candlelit" to create the pumpkin stem and the rest is done with oval punches. So not entirely original, but it is mine nonetheless.

Oh and can I just whine that I am SO sad that Grey's Anatomy will not be all new tonight because the season is over? How in the heck am I gonna make it through until the fall *sigh* Guess I am going to have to stamp a lot to keep myself busy . . .

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus).

My Decade Later Comeback and Playing Catch Up

Hello friends, It's been awhile and I kind of dropped off the face of the planet since moving to Oregon. I got busy with growing four babies into teens, and attempting to hold together a marriage with a partner who was working out of town for the most part. It was a lot! Truth be told, I have been spending most of my time over on Instagram which allows for more quick picture and caption posts (@the.amanda.sewell), but I really, genuinely miss having a journal of our adventures, so I'm back.  Some changes, my ex-partner moved out in October of 2023 (after 23 years of marriage, who would have thought?) and I am on a new, single mom adventure with the fabulous four. Luckily, they are adjusting to the changes well as we navigate this challenging time as a family team. Things are still in flux and hopefully at the end of all of this, the dust will settle and we will end up landing on our feet. Because of this change, I needed to go back to work and after not working for the past lo...
