More is More

The SU Class I had to postpone a couple of weeks ago (because the new carpet hadn’t arrived) will finally happen tomorrow night.  Today I want to share one of the cards we’ll be making.  This card features the set Season of Friendship from the Holiday Mini.  I loved this set as soon as I saw it and I’ve been dying to ink it up.

 I got the idea for this jumbo eyelet tire swing from someone’s blog and (dang it!) now I can’t find the blog. 

I’ve been doing that a lot lately!  If this was from your blog or if you know who came up with this idea PLEASE let me know so I can give credit!  I feel like such a dork!  I honestly don’t even remember exactly what the card looked like – just that it was cute and that I thought the tire swing was GENIUS!

In SoCal we don’t have that big range of Fall colors that much of the rest of the country experiences so rather than make my tree with all of those colors I went with Garden Green, Old Olive and just a touch of More Mustard.  The Ash trees in our backyard are getting ready to drop their leaves (what a HUGE mess each year) and the trees go from green to goldish brown with nothing in between.

I made this card early yesterday morning – locked in my stamp room while my housekeepers were here.  I didn’t have my catty with me and couldn’t remember which background stamps were retired and which were current.  I used Aida which, it turnes out, is retired.  So for class we’ll use Canvas.  Very simple card and I really like it!  I’ll share my other class cards soon – probably over the weekend.

Tomorrow I’ll be back with a TECC card.  Oh and hey – if you are not already subscribed to the Taylored Expressions Newsletter you should go over right now and sign up.  Click here to get to TE and then fill in your e-mail address where it says “Join our mailing list”.  Seriously – go right now!  Trust me on this one.  😉

I’m off to work.  Thanks for stopping by.
