Happy Harvest 35

Mona Pendleton | Friday, September 25, 2015 @ 7:35 PM | PTI , PTI Blog Hop

Hi there! Tonight I'm joining along with the PTI Blog Hop

which is based on the photo inspiration shown below as well as creating a project using the chalkboard technique.

Here's my interpretation:

I created a card featuring a combination of stamps from the Fall Elegance and Spooky Sweet 11 stamp sets:

Even though the temps are in still in the 100's here in Arizona, I'm starting to decorate my home for Fall. Here is a my front door showing a couple of wreaths that my daughter and I made along with my sweet girl, Gretchen ;)

For sketch inspiration, I joined along with the current Freshly Made Sketches sketch challenge:

Thanks so much for visiting. I hope you have a great weekend!
Be Sweet ;)

Gorgeous! My husband does wrought iron as a hobby, and he's getting a hint for my Christmas present. And is that a Westie I see guarding those doors? Had one for years. Haven't been able to replace him. Beautiful fall wreaths, btw!; Reply September 26, 2015 at 8:05 AM
