Here's how I was inspired:

Let's chat about my Pumpkin Spice card first:

It's actually National Coffee Week over on the Coffee Loving Cardmaker's blog. Sunday was officially National Coffee Day Hop and the design team is sharing some fun cards all week long. I wanted to somehow incorporate caffeine with my FALL THEME. The Impress Coffee Cup is perfect. I love to be able to customize the sleeve. Today it has been paper pieced with packaging paper.

To add to the fall theme, I used the beautiful Savvy Stamps Leaf Pattern in Catherine Pooler's Mandarin Spice. The sentiment, by Impress has been stamped on the same packing paper that I used for the Coffee Cup sleeves.

Next up is my original design for this week:

The Savvy Stamps squirrel is so cute! Love him in the acrylic frame that I've been hoarding. I used the same Leaf Pattern in the same Mandarin Spice [love that color!]. The sentiment is also by Savvy Stamps.

I'm super excited to introduce my guest for this week, Michele Ferguson! You know her, she's the one with the beautiful work and the wonderful sense of humor. Here's how she was inspired:
