Layle By Mail Season Pass - Fall Edition

Today I’m sharing four cards made with the latest Layle By Mail Season Pass 2.0 for Summer/Fall. The paper pack includes (12) exclusive 12x12 double-sided papers (and the 12x12 cover sheet also has an additional pattern on the back side!). The papers are a high quality matt finish, and the pack now includes a full sheet of monthly cut-apart cards in 3x4 & 4x6 sizes.

The three months covered in this Season Pass are July through September. You’ll find summer vibes and cool treats for July including sweet lemonade, ice pops, and of course a splash of patriotic red white and blue! August celebrates time outdoors with butterflies and sunshine! August celebrates the beginning of fall when we’re spending a little more time indoors with woodland critters, apples, and cozy elements like stacks of books and tea time. The kit is designed to help you capture the season’s most meaningful moments with ease and style. My cards today focus on September and early Fall vibes!

Season Pass 2.0... a quarterly program/kit with exclusive products for memory keeping enthusiasts, including paper, die cuts, rub-ons, stickers & stamps. Perfect for traveler's notebooks, planners, journals, scrapbook pages, mini books, cards and more.

I like to use the 3x4” journaling cards to create focal points for my designs. They are usually a solid color which makes them perfect for layering over busy pattern papers. Some even have printed sentiments so all you need to do is add embellishments!

This time the Season Pass has a second set of coordinating die cuts of cute woodland critters. These little guys are absolutely adorable! They’re perfect for making scene cards because you’ll also find trees, flowers and some landscape borders in the pack!

You’ll also find rub ons, a stamp set and wordstrip stickers that make creating even more fun! The kit has everything you need to make all of my cards. The only items I added are the card bases, solid cardstock matts, adhesives and gems from my stash.

I love to send notes to family and friends so they know I’m thinking of them. I know they will be delighted to see these adorable critters!

Here's a photo of all four cards together so you can see the variety of things you can make.

I love the Season Pass- it’s a great way to treat yourself to the best each month has to bring!

Retirement Where Every Day Is Saturday!

Thanks for sticking with me! It's been a rough year working through my husband's medical issues. The time has come where we have to decide what's next for us. And you guessed it.. although it's not what he wants it's time to retire.

I know employment defines who we are in alot of ways, but I hope this next chapter will be good for us. I've made alot of changes too and have left several of the teams I'm on. I'm trying to find a balance because trying to take care of him and meet my obligations has become really difficult and I never want to let anyone down.

My card today celebrates retirement. I added colorful Zig Zag Borders and a simple circle focal point on this CAS card.

The sentiment is double cut so that it can hold it's own against the bright colored background. I tried to tie the image and sentiment together with the aqua cardstock.

I'm linking to A Cut Above where it's anything goes with some optional Fall Flowers.

Summer Sunshine

Today I'm playing along at The Paper Funday Challenge where this time they're looking for a summer splash! I got this! LOL!

My card is made with the Summer Bucket Additions die set from Pretty Pink Posh. I decided to leave the bucket off and make a bold graphic design with bright solid cardstock!

I started with Shoreline Borders to create a watery foreground. Next I added the bright bold sunshine. The circle in the center is meant to be a lollipop for the bucket, but I like the color it adds to my sun.

A bold flamingo with double cut wings and a silly moving eye are waving hello. Some Tropical leaves are tucked behind.

I think this is total summer on paper and I hope you agree! Hugs to you!
