It’s here, it’s here, it’s Friday and it’s here!  It’s also time to play with the Pals at PPA (Pals Paper Arts).  Just couldn’t resist the rhyme.  This week we’re playing with a beautiful combination of Baked Brown Sugar, Pear Pizzaz and Pumpkin Pie.  Sounds like dessert to me.  Let’s call it PPA174 a.k.a. “The Case of the Fall Colors”.

PPA174 Color Challenge

Now why in the world would I call this a “Case”?  Hmmm.  Well, remember that invitation I extended a few months ago?  You know, the one where I said, “You send me a card you’ve made or found via email that I can CASE.  I’ll feature both yours and mine in a Freestyle Friday Blog Post.”  Remember now?

I haven’t received any “subjects” to CASE lately so it’s time to take matters into my own hands.  While digging around my “samples to save” folder I found this card by blogger Lynn M.

I love the simple fresh look combined with a little grunge.  Combining this “Sketch” with the Pals Paper Arts color challenge made my work EZ!  What do you think?

Two is the number of stamps I used on this one. Both of them are very basic and can be used over and over.  First, “Off the Grid” was stamped in the background with Baked Brown Sugar.  Second, Thinking of You from “Sweet Essentials” was stamped with the same ink.  Lastly, “Off the Grid” was used again to stamp three scraps of card stock as follows.

1. Baked Brown Sugar stamped on Very Vanilla and Baked Brown Sugar card stock scraps
2. Pumpkin Pie stamped on Pumpkin Pie card stock scrap
