….and chase the Gloomies away.

The theme for this month’s Hop was celebrating all things autumn. While I love the fall as it’s my favorite season, I know that there are a lot of people that get the blahs between summer and Christmas. So I wanted to have a pick-me-up card on hand – but in fallish motif. I went with a base of Spring Moss, stitched around that, and then paired some Summer Sunrise from the Bitty Box Basics pack with some of the brand new Autumn Abundance patterned paper (that I just got yesterday!). I prettied up some yummy Ripe Avocado ribbon on red line adhesive, stitched the top of it and then accented with some buttons. My sentiment is from Dawn McVey’s latest Scattered Showers Additions.
See you on the Hop!

What a great way to use the sentiment with some pretty fall paper and gorgeous fall colors! I love your stitching (yet again). And the bottom corners look so pretty rounded. This is a geat card to get rid of any blahs somebody might be having.

Very pretty! Now I really *need* to get a sewing machine. I love how you used stitching with the patterned papers.
TFS!
