I'm baaack! Tom and I had a wonderful 8-day road trip complete with lots of Autumn color, a dream come true in nature, and one more that we never expected!
But first, I hadn't had the first load of laundry in the dryer before I got started on making my FMS card using Kim's fantastic sketch this week...
When reaching for patterned paper, I'm sure you'll agree that lots of time
is consumed choosing patterns that work together - am I right? Well one of the wonderful friends I visited along the route made quick work of that for me today - I 'upcycled' a bit of the gift bag Birgit blessed me with on Friday morning - our last stop in Maine! Thanks for the gift AND the idea, my friend!
This sweet little piece with fun flora and fauna was the bag topper and the
pretty plaid was just one of a full pad of papers for Memory Box.
I only wish I'd have thought to make a few acorns like those green ones in the paper...
These acorns are from Altenew and look pretty cute tied up with
a SU linen bow IMHO!
This one's already in the mail, and I can't wait to see what those talented
DT friends of mine will share over at the Freshly Made Sketches blog!
We hope you all will have fun with this one, too!

Oh how FUN Michele! The dsp gift from Birgit certainly paid off as they are perfect for the sketch and I'm in love with those sweet acorns in the center tied with the linen thread! Such a warm and sweet card capturing the essence of Autumn my friend!! Hugs. :0)
This is extra sweet! Those little animals are just darling. Too bad there wasn't a moose among them! Love it!
Absolutely beautiful Michelle. I love the acorns. They are so cute and the paper is darling. It all matches perfectly.. I love it and I’m sure your friends will love it too. 🪵🐿️🍁🍄
Sounds like a wonderful time, and a great upcycle! I mean, who wouldn't love to reuse that pattern -- you've made a terrific card out of it!
You're a quick thinker to put this together so quickly! I absolutely LOVE the critter/fall paper, and the plaid you put with it is perfect! The acorns look fabulous! Just beautiful, Michele!
Clever use of the patterned paper and what a great idea to use the gist bag. It is a cute little card xx
I love this but am surprised you didn't use the hedgehog or fox from the Heart Hugs set. Maybe you have more of that darling paper? So glad you had a good trip. Can't wait to hear all about it
