I saw an old sled!

 As we meander a Path of Positivity, we are challenging you to Embrace The Unexpected. Of course, you can share anything positive you like, the theme is always optional.

Remember, you may share any sort of artistic medium over at PoP:  writing, cards, journals, scrapbooking, painting, sewing, baking, needle crafts, etc as long as it is positive.  The theme is always optional.  

This month we are inspired by something unexpected we see on a walk!  Be sure to visit Path of Positivity for a description of this!  

Now, I know you are wondering why in the world I saw a sled on a walk in September with the temp around 80 degrees.  Well, here's the story.  

I was actually walking to my barn and saw the sled I had moved out of the machine shed!  It caught me by surprise since it didn't belong there and then I remembered I wanted to get it out to check its condition.  I'm looking forward to decorating it this Christmas and placing it by my front porch.  For now, it has inspired me to start some Christmas cards!

Fall is in the Air!

I'm thinking fall over here with this adorable squirrel and fun embossed pattern.  This cute digi stamp is from Kit and Clowder; Alyce is so kind to give out free images!  Be sure to follow her FaceBook page to be included!

I used a somewhat heavier vellum and ran it through a 3-D embossing folder for my front.  The layering piece is inked with various orange inks from CTMH.  Before adhering my squirrel, I splattered gold.

For the inside, I used a couple of different CTMH stamps and the upper border is a scrap that was done with inks.  

Have you ever wondered about the Offset Function in Cricut Design Space?  Check out the video below to learn how I use it on almost every project!  Yes, I did use it designing this card a couple of times!  ;)
