ode to fall

IMG_1030_dahlhouse

A girl can dream right? I’m SO ready for fall. We are still going to have to wait 2-3 months before that happens in Arizona. Hopefully by early November the temps will cool, the leaves in the north will change and my favorite time of year will have arrived. Oh fall, how do I miss thee.

The Unity design team is hopping again today. It is always a good time on Thursdays. If you have been hopping you should be arriving from Joslyn‘s blog, if not, all the action starts on the Unity blog.

Two things made me happy this weekend… my beautiful August kit of the month – Cozy Moments and my brand new Distress markers. Eeeek, double the fun. I colored that amazing leaf background with 3 different markers, spritz it with some water and stamped it onto the notebook tag. I adore how the colors bled together on the three leaves linked together, just like watercolor. I added a few drops of orange at the end to fill in some of the open space.

All the colors came from this month Unity {be inspired} Challenge that starts TODAY.

** COMMENT PRIZE **Don’t forget to leave a comment on each blog today.We’ll be giving away 3 prizes from comments left on the participating blogs.

That is all from me, head on over to the amazing Renee next!!!!

Here are the list of blogs hopping today.

    I am SO with you – I can not wait for fall. It’s my FAVE time of the year. It will be here a little sooner for us here in Canada and I am so looking forward to it. Love the crisp, cool air, the colour changes, the cozy-ness! I’m smiling just thinking of it! And your card made me smile even more – it’s gorgeous! I just love how you did the leaves with your markers – such a cool look! And that background paper is the perfect choice to showcase the rest of the awesome card!
