It
has been an eventful year weather wise. My heart goes out to those of
you who have been affected by wind, water, and fire. While we haven't
been directly affected here in my area, we have had many smoky days and I
find myself thinking of kinder Septembers. As a result I have returned
to a favorite color palette drawn from a ripe field of grain glowing in
the late evening sun against a stormy (but clear) sky.

The rich natural tones make me happy on the inside, LOL. And there are
touches of vintage ephemera and lots of shabby papers in the collection
to make it heritage-friendly.

Some lovely examples to give you ideas:


I feel some scrap time coming on, hopefully you are inspired as well :)
Somehow
in all the distractions of the last weeks, I forgot to send my
newsletter last week with my new Hatchery goodies - they will remain at
Hatchery prices, though, so better late than never LOL.

I'm completely in love with that terrarium, but you know me and my obsession for dimension and glass ;)
And a final reminder, the free downloads of Through the Storm and After
the Rain will be available through the end of September - in case you
missed it here are the details:

You can visit my shop HERE, and until next time, happy scrapping!

It
has been quite a week. My daughter lives in Houston (she's safe), and
my education regarding hurricanes, weather reports, Texas Geography, and
bayous/runoff has been fast and intense. Our thoughts and prayers are
with Houston as they dry out and start putting back the pieces.
I have a cute single template for you this week - I've always wanted to do a globe template and here it is:

It would make a great Title page for a project, but it's versatile
enough for a single page, too. My talented team had fun with it:




It's on sale through the weekend in my shop.
I had been preparing this bundle for my Attic Treasures shop, but it
seems to me in the light of recent events that I'd like to let everyone
have it. We all have storms in our lives - maybe not hurricanes, but we
all go through difficult times and it's important to keep hope in front
of us. I wish for all of you the rainbow of promise after your storm.
Please consider, if you are able, making a donation to storm relief, or
even just someone around you that needs a helping hand. The downloads
will be up for the month of September.

Until next time, happy scrapping!
