I don't know how things are looking in your neck of the woods but around here the snow level is creeping further and further down the surrounding mountains at an alarming rate. This may just be one of those years where we end up getting some snow by Halloween. I can't say that I'm a fan of winter arriving quite this early, especially when it feels like I was finally getting to settle in and enjoy fall.
I'm thinking that the chill in the air could be a contributing factor to my return to card making having a decidedly holiday type vibe. Though, more likely it is all the cute Christmas stamps and pretty papers that have been coming out recently. ;)
Speaking of which... it's review preview day for the October Sweet November release today and this time I decided to use the digital version of Angel Noelle. I wanted to be able to blow her up a bit larger than the rubber stamp version so that she wouldn't be overshadowed but that fantastic, but kind of busy, winter berry print. I actually feel like I cheated a bit with the coloring because instead of Copics I used some gold Smooch to color in her wings and halo. But I think the effect is really lovely so I'll probably be doing it again sometime.
Be sure to check out the ATS blog today for loads of angelic inspiration from my fellow teamies. And in just a few short days we will be starting up a whole new round of previews along with all of the fun that goes along with them, so you won't want to miss that!

She looks gorgeous Amy, blown up against that festive background. I had already taken a peek at the ATS blog this morning.
Over here, summer is really over. We've had lot of rain and thunderstorm during the past few days, but with day temperatures still well over 20 °C, I'm not complaining, except that it's starting to feel cooler inside than out.

Love your card - it's really so lovely, Amy!
Last year was my favorite - we got a snow storm before Halloween and then had a quiet winter - ahhhhh, such a nice break from the blizzards we usually get every year. The year before that was so brutal we were shoveling our roof almost every time it snowed!
Wow o Wow!! Beautiful just doesn't cut it with this card! It's like the angels fell from heaven to land on here. Gorgeous card Amy.. Lovin' your Christmas inspirations, they are always so lovely and cheerful.
Glad you are getting your mojo back.
Hope the snow behaves and let's you enjoy the last days of Fall. Take care Amy and apologies for not stopping by.
Say hi to your Mom! :)
