I was a little concerned when I ordered this set, Season of Friendship. I thought maybe the tree was going to be hard to use. But it wasn't! I love it! This card came together very quickly! Can you see the Autumn Vine DSP peeking out from behind there??? I hated to hide so much of it--it's SO pretty! But that's the way the card wanted to be made. {laugh}
The birdie is popped up on a dimensional--which I think looks really nice. Originally, I tried to stamp it on the branch, but that didn't work out too well. That old hand-eye coordination thing, again! I decided I liked the dimension it gave to have the birdie sitting up a bit. Yeah, I MEANT to do it that way. LOL I am loving Baja Breeze with fall colors! Who knew???

Isn't this a cool technique! I learned about it on Dawn's blog. This will be the technique I teach in November for my card buffet. And you may have noticed I am finally able to use my Antique Copper Hodgepodge Hardware, now that it's retired! {roll eyes}

I bet you thought Homecoming was *last* week, didn't you! Well, it was last week at one high school and this week at another. LOL This is daughter #2 all dressed up for the dance! Pretty, pretty girl! 
Here she is with her beau! 
I have such wonderful girls! They are a great blessing to me and to all of our family.
This is the 6x6 scrap page we made at stamp club. (It goes with the 3x6 card in the last post.) I LOVE that bear! He reminds me of my husband. LOL My club members had the option of making 2 3x6 cards, 2 6x6 pages, or one of each! We learned that trick at Convention--I think it was in Wendy Knowles' Demonstrator Theatre presentation. My customers seemed to really enjoy the options.
I stamped the honey-bear in Chocolate Chip craft ink and embossed him--it made him easier to cut out. The sleeping bags were stamped in classic ink.

We made this card for our club meeting the end of September. I love this size! And the DSP and the flowers are from the Pina Colada Simply Scrappin Kit that I won at Convention. Have I mentioned how much fun I had a Convention? Yes? Oh. :-) The stamp is from the Level 1 hostess set Best Yet.

This is my oldest daughter, Susie, in her Homecoming finery! Isn't she beautiful?
Here she is with her handsome escort. :-) Ooh la la!
This is one of my best online friends, Stella! We met on Splitcoaststampers, and became great friends! She found me at Convention, and I'm so glad! I was so overwhelmed with everything, I was grateful when friends found ME instead of me stalking them. {smile} Love you, Stella!
