I have noticed that some of the challenges are starting to be fall related. Our temps are still over 100* & it won't feel like fall for quite awhile. But I pulled out this daisy to use at least one more time before the fall themed stamps come out! LOL!

The sketch is this week's CPS sketch.

Paper & Such~ Farm Animals

The challenge at Paper & Such is to use Farm Animals on your card. My boys had to point out that chicks are actually fowl & not animals... but oh well! *wink* The itty bitty Unity set that I used is called "Happy Chick Birthday", it has 2 stamps, the one with the 2 chicks & a sentiment stamp. I used it to make my own background paper on the yellow piece.

Cherries

I LOVE cherries!!! I love fruit, but I really, really LOVE cherries. I get excited when I first start seeing them in the stores & cringe at the price. I will buy a small bag just to celebrate seeing them again & then I wait until the price comes down. Someday, when we have finished moving... I will have my own cherry trees! *grin*
