**FALL FRIENDS IG CARD HOP** Week One - Latte Love
Welcome to Week One of the Fall Friends Card Hop, hosted by @createwithkas. We're sharing 11 weeks of fall projects with weekly themes and if you would like to join us, please DM Kelly @createwithkas. This week's theme is A Latte Fall Fun!!
Even though I don't drink lattes, I love all things coffee! I had to make two cards because I couldn't decide what to make. I used my brand new Pumpkin Spice Vibes stamp and die set from Simon Says Stamp and I've got a feeling I'm going to be using this a lot!

STAMPtember - Day Eleven - Celebrate America
Hi everyone. Today's a somber day for everyone, I know it is for me. This day kind of haunts me, and I feel like it always serves as a reminder of how different our country was back then. No one tried to politicize the terrorist attacks, we all came together, we supported our country as a whole, it was so different than we are now.
I always make a card for today, usually a thank you card, which this would work for, to honor those who were lost, and those who risked their lives to help.

**STASHBUSTERS IG HOP** Week 19 - Use A Crafty Item In More Than One Way
Welcome to the Stashbusters 2024 Paper Crafting Hop! Stashbusters 2024 is hosted by Armen @armenscraftroom. Every other Tuesday, the Stashbusters post 1-6 creative, paper-based projects to share. Our goal is to use the items and supplies we already own to create between 27-162 projects each over the course of 2024.
Today's hop theme is "Use one item multiple ways to create interactive friendship cards".
I did two out of three! I couldn't really nail the "interactive" part of the challenge with my time constraints, but I definitely made cards for girlfriends using the same stamp in three different ways.

- Inspiration Station - Prompt #65 Photo Inspiration - Fall Farm - 1/8 - I loved all the colors of the fall foliage in the photo and felt like the farm would have a pumpkin patch!
She's my favorite. So festive with her PSL, ready for a day of errands, and maybe a little fun in there, too.

STAMPtember - Day Six - Read A Book Day
I love to read. Like, really, really love to read. I don't give myself as much time to read as I wish that I did, but, yeah. I love to read.
In one of my favorite movies, You've Got Mail, Kathleen talks about how reading books as a child changes your life so drastically, and I believe that this is true. And there are times when I feel myself in two worlds, just like Rory Gilmore, and one is a world of books.
It's been very important to me from the beginning to get my nieces into books and they both love to read. Everyone should find something they love, and then read about it.

STAMPtember - Day Three - Witches Stick Together
I feel like maybe this sentiment doesn't quite go with the card now that it's finished, but I just decided to go on with my original intentions and see how it turned out.
I'm just not sure I'm happy with the card. And that was NOT the intended cat but I messed up the one I had stamped, hence the pumpkin peeking out behind the witch. Witches can have pumpkins in trees, right? 😆

**INSPIRED BY A BOOK** New Challenge with Get Creative Challenges!
Hi everyone! It's a new challenge at Get Creative Challenges and our theme is Inspired By A Book!!! This can come from the title, the book jacket, the plot or subject matter, a character, anything! I love to read and Read A Book Day is actually later this week, so I thought this theme would be fitting.
I was inspired by the jacket for the book It Starts With Us by Colleen Hoover. I absolutely love this book as well as the first in the series, It Ends With Us. I loved the IEWU movie, too. Perfect casting.
