Time Out Challenge # 322

 Good Morning!

 I am sooooo excited to be Guest Designing 

over at Time Out Challenge Blog.

Challenge # 322 'Inspired By'

Seasonal Colors, Where You Live.

I started card making way back in 2007, when one late night I actually happened upon Gina K  making cards on a video.  And as they say, the rest is history!  

I have come a long way since that night, thankfully....my card making has evolved--into nothing particular so I have always considered myself 'eclectic' in the card making world.  I do love layers and seeing just how much one can put on a card base. lol

Even though the Calendar says September and it's

beginning to feel like Fall it is still summery in my gardens and that

is exactly what I have been inspired by!

We can go well into October and sometimes a bit into November

with gardening here. We are only 3/10 of a mile from the Atlantic

and that warm air helps!

Here are 4 cards I created using 

the awesome Products from Gina K Designs.

Gina K Designs Count It All Joy stamp and die sets.

Jewels.

Foam Squares and Strips.

Inks in;

Tuxedo Black, Garden Green, Marina Mist, Soft Sky,

Tempting Turquoise, Walnut Stain and Wild Wasabi.

Tuxedo Black and Pink Pirouette inks.

Clear Embossing Powder.

Copic Markers.

Pretty Posies.

Gina K Designs Always Delightful stamp set.

Foam Strips.

Ink Splatters.

and Spiced Marmalade.

A little Faux Water Coloring.

Gina K Designs Colossal Coneflowers stamp and die sets,

Gingham Embossing Folder.

Copic Markers.

Clear Embossing Powder.

Tuxedo Black and Wilted Violet inks.

Foam Squares.

Inside.

One of my top favorite flowers, Purple Coneflowers.

The bunnies have eaten all but one of my plants!

I do owe all of my card making skills to Gina!

I am so happy to have found her, and she has really given me so many wonderful 

card making friends....Online Besties if you will!

And because there aren't enough pictures on this Post 

I will bore you with some of my gardens and what has inspired me

 for this Challenge over at The Timeout Challenge Blog.
