RSCC16 Challenge

Just a quickie today. We had a great Labor Day weekend that included a family picnic and a 'date night in' where Big G and I made a rather elaborate dinner using the NEW STOVE :-) I made homemade bread and carrot cake (both from scratch, both fantastic!) while G made Chicken in Riesling Sauce, which is kind of like Coq Au Vin but in a white sauce instead of red. That too was awesome - but we haven't eaten this un-healthfully in AGES so it was a big splurge. Tonight, any cake or bread left is going in the trash so we're not tempted to eat anymore of it!

Anyway, I did get about an hour in the card room, and I decided to participate in Dawn's Raspberry Suite Color Challenge. I love her challenges but never have time to play - so this was a lot of fun! It was even more enjoyable because these are my kind of colors - reminds me of bonfires, crisp leaves, warm sweaters, football and cool weather. I LOVE the fall!

This card uses almost exclusively PTI products, except for the picture hook and ribbon. Those have been in my stash for ages and I have no idea where either came from!

The double bonus of this card is that I also used a CAS Sketch (FTL28), even though it ended up being slightly more 'involved' than my usual CAS cards. I really love how this one came out; just bummed that my skills are a little rusty - it took me nearly an hour to make this one!

Happy Fall Everyone!
