Pals Hop: It's the Sentiment That Counts!

 

 Hello, welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month our Design Team created projects where “It’s the Sentiment that Counts.” We hope you enjoy and will be inspired by them! Don’t forget to leave comments! We love hearing from you. At the end of my post, you will find the full line-up to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

   How's life friends? It's a bit smoky where I live, and it's gone from almost 100 degrees Red Flag Warning to snow in about 30 hours up in our mountains where a fire is blazing. Yup! That's the Rockies for you. I'm happy to report there haven't been any life threatening injuries, and everyone is hoping that livestock were all evacuated safely. Our local community is amazing and the rallying to help one another has been inspiring to witness in our Covid times! Some of our most beautiful human stories come from devastating circumstances....

   Which brings me to sentiments. Words matter and sometimes I enjoy focusing just on them for a card design. I've always loved graphic art, and hand lettered masterpieces often catch my eye. I've tried over the years to practice a bit of calligraphy but it never seemed to stick, and I moved on to other endeavors. 

   Thankfully, die cutting and stamping give me the creative satisfaction I crave and I can design with artistic words and phrases without worrying about making mistakes!

Pumpkin Pie, Early Espresso, and Nothing's Better Than

   I've never been a pumpkin spice latte fan but I have lots of friends who are! I'm sending this off to one of them to start the season. 

   

   Thanks for stopping by today and be well friends!

   

   More inspiration awaits! Use the Blog Hop Line-up below to visit the rest of this month’s Design Team. My fellow Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Mark your calendars for our next blog hop on October 14th when our theme is “Tag, You’re It!” Participants will showcase tags or 3D items that will be great for gifts for any occasion. Don’t miss the fun! Until then, please stay safe and have fun in your craft room.
