Happy Sunday! I raked for a couple hours yesterday and that was all I could manage - whew! At least I got the side of the house done (neighbor's large tree dropped leaves everywhere!). Thankful my arms don't hurt & I was right back to making cards this morning.
I've been trying to use Hero Arts products for my HeroFest Holiday Cheer Card Drive card but they said any brand will do. Great, because I received an order from My Favorite Things and was eager to play! Here's today's card for the drive:
Supplies: Paper - Spellbinder's A2 Card; TH Jewel Kraft Metallic;
BoBunny Woodland Winter 6x6; Hero Arts Glitter Paper Basics;
Paper Studio Holiday (greens) and vellum
Dies - My Favorite Things Peaceful Dove, Peace & Peaceful Greenery
A Jillian Vance Design Stitched Dot Rectangle Backdrop;
Other - Paper Studio gem; Black Soot Distress Ink
I finished my card around 1p but I'm slow to blog it because I had lunch with a storytelling classmate. Our "homework" from last Thursday was to pair up during the week and discuss the stories we're working on. Only Kate raised her hand that she wanted to pair up so I jumped in too - didn't want her to not have someone! We met for a late lunch about halfway between our suburbs - great food and conversation. We sat there for over 2 hrs!! All set for our final class this week. :)
I'm adding my card to the Stay Crafty with a Blog Named Hero's October Challenge Merry Everything and also to the 700th Allsorts Challenge Any Special Occasion. I played for the first time yesterday based on Hilary's (fiddling about) inspiration - fun challenge! And also to Darnell's October NBUS Challenge since my MFT dies are newly used today.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you'll pop by tomorrow for the last day of our Watercoloring Challenge at Die Cut Divas. I'll save tomorrow's HeroFest card to blog along with Tuesday's card.

Beautiful design, Linda, and I especially like the birch woods as a background! Thank you for the shoutout, my friend. Your storytelling class sounds fun!
A gorgeous combination of elements - a stunning card!
Such a lovely calming card. Well done for getting that raking done. It is the time of year when you can resent neighbours trees because of the work they generate. I always enjoy the trees until there are leaves to clear up! I don't have any trees in my garden, well that's not quite true, I have one very tiny tree that isn't as tall as me, but still spend huge amounts of time clearing up leaves. xx
You have been a very busy crafter, Linda. I took a stroll through your last few posts and Hero Arts is going to be overjoyed to receive all the amazing cards you have created! Loving all the shades of blue that you used on this pretty card.
A beautiful card and message, thank you for joining us at Allsorts this week.
