Can you smell Fall in the air?

Hello and happy Saturday stamping friends!  Today I have a Fall themed card for you all that I have made for this weeks Shining the Light Challenge over at ODBD. Can you believe that this is the 77th challenge? Chris, is challenging us this week to use a Fall theme or Fall colors on our creations and I did both :D

For the Fall theme and colors I used this amazing pumpkin stamp and pumpkin custom die by ODBD. I tell you, using this awesome die, it made it easy as pie (kind of rhymes,hehe) to cut the image. I also got to use some awesome new Spellbinders dies I just got last week....so fun.

Have a look at my creation

You are handpicked by God

and a shot from the opposite side

Recipe:

Paper: PTI Rustic Cream, Dark Chocolate, textured cream cs from my stash, Me&MyBigIdeas specialty paper (Fall)

stamping friends!  I have a quick and easy and super CAS card to share with you all today. You are saying to yourself "CAS for Sabrina?"  Yes, very much so. :D You know sometimes you don't need much and that sure counts for this sentiment from one of the new releases for this month over at Our Daily Bread Designs. I chose the Apple Seeds sentiment because of his powerful meaning and this is what came out

Recipe:

Paper: PTI White, Ripe Avocado, Memory Box Rhubarb

Stamp:  ODBD Apple Seeds

Ink: VersaFine Onyx Black

Accessories: white crochet lace, Kaisercraft red half pearls, Spellbinders Parisian Accents, Classic Scalloped Circles Large, Standard Circles Large, seam binding, apple button from my stash

What do you think? This powerful sentiment does not need much, does it? I hope I was able today to inspire you with this card and hope that you will take a minute to think on this sentiment. Isn't it so very comforting to know that God is this great?

Thanks for stopping by today and making my day a little brighter.

Hugs and blessings,
