Nature Reveals Her Miracles One by One

Hello and welcome! It's Saturday again and that means we have a new challenge for you at Allsorts and this week it's Lynn's turn to host. Her optional theme is "Autumn Colors" a nice and easy one for this time of the year so hopefully you will join us for your chance to win. If Autumn Colors aren't your thing then you can go with the "Anything Goes" option too.

Our October prizes come from: Stamp Addicts, Oakwood, Highlight Crafts, Ruth Hamilton Design, AALL and Create and Craft Stash, the winners will be selected from the weekly challenges and then announced on the last Friday of the month. 

Here is what I made using one of my new Aall and Create stamps (Garden Times) I purchased during their sale.

This card came together rather quickly. The smooshed background was already previously done using Tea Dye Distress ink (I think), next I stamped the image (this is all just one collage style stamp minus the extra sentiment) using Ground Espresso Distress Oxide and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored the blossom with Faber Castell Polychromos pencils an then added the sentiment from Stampers Anonymous (old, found at a thrift shop). I distressed the edges, mounted onto yellow cardstock and then a dark brown card base. I embellished with a button and some jute twine.

By the way, in case you missed it... I started the linky tool for the Year in Review hop taking place at the end of the year. 

I copied the info from the other post in case you are interested:

Papercrafters' Year in Review 2023 Hop Sign Up

Before I let you go, I wanted to mention that I am once again planning the "Year a Review" hop where we will feature our favorite creations of the year and looking for a few co-hosts. As always, you may choose how many project you will feature. It could be a top 5 or top 10. Maybe you have just one you are especially fond of having created. I usually go with a favorite of each month to make the choice easier. 

Details:

• Create a blog post featuring YOUR OWN favorite creations of 2023 to be scheduled on your blogs for Friday December 29th 6am CST (12 noon UK time)
• I will provide the html code for the linky tool to each person signing up as a co-host. It would be great if you included this in your post on your own blogs but not neccessary as long as you post a list of each participant.
• Your blog followers are welcome to link up their own favorites during that time period should they decided to create their own "year in review" posts. The linky tool will be open for one week.
• You must have a blog to participate.
• This will be a blog hop, so please plan on visiting and commenting on each participant's "Year in Review 2023" post when time allows during hop week.
• This sign up is for any paper crafter with a blog. You don't have to have a papercraft only blog - as long as you have some favorite handmade cards to share in your review post you are welcome to sign up. 
• Optional: You are welcome to offer a small prize to a winner selected from those who commented on your post (including other co-hosts) but that is totally up to you and it is absolutely not needed to offer a prize in order to be a co-host. 
• The blog hop will run for one week (December 29th - January 4th)
• To get an idea of how it works you can click here to see last year's hop.

I will close the sign-up linky tool on December 9th (may close sooner if enough sign up before that date), then I will message everyone with the hop list by December 15th so everyone will have plenty of time to prepare their posts even before Christmas should you want to work ahead on it.
