Wow! September went out with a bang and October came in with one too. I just want to take a little time to catch you up here. First let me say thank you to all my loyal customers who purchased in September. You gave me an awesome month and I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate your business. I was laid off from my part-time job in August and that led to me having more time to concentrate on my SU business and you my customers. I love how God works things out, when we can't see the big picture. Thank you again so very much!!

Ok,now to share with you all the cards that were made at September's class.
The card on the left is the card that was made in class and the card on the right is a stepped up version of what we made. Both super simple!
Card on the left is what we made in class and the card on the right is stepped up and I chose to use the Blueberry Bushel card base since I had this image already colored in blue. I basically used odds and ends on my desk to do the second one.
These are not much different other than the greetings. The one on the left I made using a saying from the Waterfront set and the one on the right is the actual card we made in class using a saying from the Still Night bundle. You can find all the products used on these cards listed below.
Welcome to my stop on the Home Decor SU Style blog hop. I wasn't sure if I had the time to hop this month, but then one of my friends on the hop did a little reminder nudge this morning and well..........what could I do? I'm a people pleaser so I got busy and came up with something using something I had on my desk that I wanted to make for myself anyway. Kill two birds with one stone, I say. It's fall, but the weather here in Michigan sure doesn't feel like it. In fact when I get done with this post I'm going to take advantage of using our pool. It's unusual for it to still be warm in Michigan and with it being warm I don't feel like hauling out my fall decorations so I figured I'd make another one to add to the many that I have. I actually decorate as much for fall as I do Christmas.
I liked this frame when I found it at Walmart, because it has wood grain to it and also silver. That's why I thought it would be great for the Country Home stamp set. I wanted it to look a little more worn so I wiped on some Whisper White Craft ink with just a kleenex. I used three different embossing folders on this project and you should be able to see them better in the next picture.
I used the Tin Tile, Basket Weave and the Tufted since I feel these really give a more country look. Unfortunately this stamp set does not have framelits to cut out the pieces so everything is fussy hand cut, but I don't find it hard to do that. You just need to remember to move your paper and not your scissors when cutting and you most generally can get a good cut. I think that leaving a little white edge gives it a better look as well. I colored in the images with the Stampin' Blends. To finish off the frame I used Tear & Tape and adhered the beautiful Velvet Ribbon in Rich Razzleberry, mitering the corners to give it a more finished look. I then added a three loop bow made from the Braided Linen Trim from the Holiday catalog. I hope you've enjoyed your stop and will continue on the hop by clicking on the next person below.
