I am not sure where you live but here in Canada we celebrated Thanksgiving this past weekend. The weather was perfect and for once I didn't have to prepare the dinner! Our son and new daughter in law hosted Thanksgiving at their home and we had a great time. The weather was so perfect! Here are a couple of pictures of our time together. We wish you a Happy Thanksgiving where ever you are!

This year we have been doing many samplers in the studio to reflect the different seasons that take place in our year. Last week the class did the Fall Sampler pictured above using small elements from the various stamp sets in the studio. The frame was an inexpensive one purchased at a local department store and the background of the Sampler used the now retired More Mustard paper. From there I used various square punches ranging in size from 1 3/8 down to 3/4 inch. I stuck with three basic fall colours when using the inks and was pleased with the result. Give it a try with elements from your favourite stamp sets.

For two weeks only from October 7th to 21st Stampin Up is having a special recruiting offer to celebrate their 25th Anniversary. This is a great time to join! You only have two weeks so contact me today for the details.
