A Thank You Card for the Fall Season

-
It's about time for my favorite season, fall! 
Where I can get back into my jeans and my comfy sweats - I just love the cooler weather!
It means it's about time for our annual trip to the Greenbluff farms, pumpkin lattes, and apple picking.
This month Bitten by the Bug 2 is having a design team call and they requested a fall themed project to apply.
When I think of fall, I think of horses, fields, farms, sunsets, being comfortable outside and the list goes on.
I decided to make a thank you card using the Country Life Cricut Cartridge, one of my favorites!
I loved the sunset image as well as the horses, so I decided to put them both together.



Using my gypsy, I welded two shadows of the sunset image together to form the base of my card. Then cut out the remainder of the image layers. I attached the horse with the fence over the top of the sunset image.
Using a fall themed stamp set I stamped and embossed the Thank You sentiment in gold embossing powder to give it a brighter affect. Using a yellow ink I distressed the sun rays to give it a brighter appearance. I also distressed the field layers to help give the images more depth. 

Thank you to Bitten by the Bug 2 for a chance at becoming a member of your design team!

 Till next time,

War Binder

We are now into August and I have been thinking a lot about the fact that school is coming. I have been homeschooling my daughter for the past year and a half. She is now going to go to a Christian school in the fall for junior high. I can't believe that she is in 7th grade already! I am both sad for me and excited for her. One of my favorite things about homeschooling, besides having my daughter home with me everyday, was using my Happy Planner for lesson planning. I love my lists and seeing my week planned out on paper. So, I was thinking through how to make a good use of my Happy Planner this coming year. I a blog post on how to set up a  War Binder . I looked into this War binder thing a little more closely and decided that that is exactly what I wanted to do with my Planner. I spent a lot of time looking around on FB and Pinterest to get ideas and eventually just decided that I just needed to start it.  I have struggled with making time for Bible Study and prayer in th
