This card is for 3 challenges. First this is a sample for Robin's versatile F4A challenge to use fall colors- boy is this easy to combine with some of the 40 HYCCT challenges. I used the fall colors for the HYCCT1524 to use bunches of something on your card. Each stamp in this very annoying scene stamp set is a tiny part of a scene. The stamp for the lake has 2 tiny waves that I had to stamp "bunches" of times to look like a lake. The mountain stamp had 2 peaks and tge tree stamp had 2 trees. My patience was maxed out by the time I created this scene. Finally, this card is for the CT1015 to show something on our bucket list. If I ever get to retire, and my hands are not shaking too much from old age, I want to learn to take beautiful landscape photos. This is a picture of a scene tgat I would like to photograph. I hope you join us in this fun fall challenge. Since I live in Southern Calif - close to Disneyland- we never have a real fall. It was 88 degrees today. I can only experience fall through art. TFL, Francie

Oh Francie, you girls have done one outstanding job on the samples this week. I'm amazed what happens when three very talented stampers get together for a challenge...magic happens. Thanks for starting my morning with all these beautiful creations. Sure hope you get to do the landscape photography on your bucket list. Fav'd

How beautiful, peaceful and tranquil. You have the patience of Job to have pieced that scene together so perfectly if all the elements were so itty-bitty. I love the white pen details in the lake. And the green foliage in the foreground - it has such a mossy look to it. I have to say that it also reminds me of seaweed when the tide is out - as if I were somewhere along the west coast here in one of the inlets where you are looking across to the other side. I think it's the particular shade of green that makes me think of that. Whoever this ends up with, it's sure to give them such a sense of peace and calm.
