Hello, my precious friends, and hello fall, y'all! Here in South Florida we are keeping watch over Hurricane Matthew, and we are saddened by the many who have already been affected by it in the islands and are praying for everyone in its path.
Today I am sharing a newly remixed digital image that is an old-fashioned country wheelbarrow filled with an array of wonderful squash and pumpkins, and the set comes with two delightful sentiments. Isn't it charming? This new digital set from Power Poppy by Marcella Hawley is called Fall Haul.
Yesterday I finished coloring this image, and what fun to find an amazing variety of pumpkins and squash -- and the colors and shapes are amazing! I also learned that the very top one is called a Turk cap or turban squash. After I finished coloring, I die cut my image and used my MISTI to stamp a sentiment from the clear set Olive & Oak Extended.
A few weeks ago Allison Cope used this gorgeous designer paper, and I just had to get it. It served as a perfect color pallet for my card. This week's Color Challenge on Splitcoaststampers is a beautiful array of fall colors, so I am participating in that challenge. So here she is, and I wish you all a happy fall!
When we lived in New Jersey many years ago, I absolutely loved to see the leaves change colors -- oh the splendor of it all. And it was a time of harvest for all kinds of fall produce. It still reminds me of the bountiful blessings God continues to give us.
And God is able to bless you abundantly,
so that in all things at all times,
having all that you need,
you will abound in every good work.
2 Corinthians 9:8

Oh Cheryl! You've made this lovely sketch come alive with your beautiful coloring and layering. I adore this choice of plaid and how it compliments so perfectly. Happy fall sweet friend! <3 Autumn
Cheryl, this card is so beautiful! You have captured the fall colors so well with your coloring! It is the perfect time for plaid too and that paper IS really nice!
I was just thinking of you yesterday and thinking that I hadn't seen you posting much and hoping everything was well. I am so glad to see this post this morning. I hope that the hurricane does not affect you and that everyone in its path will stay safe!
Gorgeous, Cheryl! Love how well this is highlighted by that plaid paper! Beautifully colored, as always. Be safe in the weather!
Oh wow Cheryl! This is absolutely STUNNING!! Your coloring really makes this image POP to life!! I love the plaid papers to tie it all together so beautifully too! :) Wishing you bountiful blessings this Fall my friend!! HUGS
Beautiful sweet friend!! your coloring is gorgeous as always and the colors are so perfect. Love the fancy wheelbarrow of Marcella's! Gorgeous card and LOVE the plaid too, always a favorite for me!!
A beauty to be sure. It shows some of the reasons I love fall/autumn so much - the bounty of the harvest with all things delicious .... then the colours that we feast upon when our tummy is full! Beautifully done sweet Cheryl.
I so totally love how you colored this Cheryl :)
Stay safe, I'll be thinking of you! Gorgeous card! I can see why you needed that Designer Paper--it's beautiful! Love your card, and you really let your beautiful coloring shine and the image speak for itself. Love the simplicity of the rest of it!
Sweet Cheryl, I am praying for you and many others that are having to deal with that dreadful hurricane.
But, in brighter news...you've created an absolutely lovely card! Your coloring is AMAZING! I adore this delightful assortment of pumpkins and gourds.
Happy Autumn!

It's gorgeous! Your coloring is fabulous and I love that plaid paper too!
Oh wow! I've been looking at your wonderful creations for a while now, but tonight I just have to comment. This card is really stunning! the colouring on this beautiful image is superb!
Oh, Cheryl, this is absolutely stunning! You've colored the image so beautifully and I love the background plaid paper. The border of the plaid paper appears to be a bit darker, is that the paper or a filter in the photo editing app you use? It's a fabulous card, beautifully designed. Hugs!!!!
Cheryl, this is beautifully colored and such exquisite colors, too!! Reminds me of the crispness of Fall! I actally saw this turban squash on the news last night and thought how creative God is!! Blessings!
Beautiful Cheryl, love the plaid and that you picked up the colors! The stripes on the squash are perfect, great job coloring them :) Blessing :)
Absolutely gorgeous Cheryl. That image is the epitome of fall and your coloring is delish. Can't blame you for wanting that designer paper either. Looks like that nasty Matthew is going to be smacking you around a bit. Praying for you dear friend. Much love and hugs. ♥
Oh Cheryl it's one gorgeous card, do love tartan too, a great complement with its rich shades!!! Praying for all in the cyclones path for Gods keeping!!
Hugs,

Cheryl, praying for you and people in Florida.... Be safe my friend!
And this card is so beautiful. Your coloring is fabulous.
Oh, my goodness! How many times have I said that when I look at your cards? Your coloring on this is totally amazing, and it looks so beautiful with the colorful plaid! Oh, how I love this, Cheryl!! I'm keeping a watch on Matthew on the news, looking at your location and other friends who live down there. Some are directly in its path. Hoping you weather it without too much trouble. Sending hugs!
OMgoodness! That background paper is incredible and I can see how it inspired you to use the colors in this card. But as pretty as the paper is, it does not compare to the coloring on this image. This is an alluring card.
Oh, and I forgot to say that I hope you are safe. I am praying for you and others in Florida, and those that have already felt the storm.
Oh, dear friend! I am SO sorry you are having to brace for this horrible storm. I am watching it on the weather channel, and oh, my, it is just heart-wrenching. We used to live right there, and it just breaks my heart for you and the others and makes me very thankful we are not there anymore. We have lived through so many situations like this, and it is SO stressful. God bless you and keep you safe!!! Please let us know that you are okay when you can. God be with you.
Gorgeous colors, Cheryl! So Cal has a green Fall so I love all the pictures of the changing and beautiful leaves! Hope you are out of the way of the hurricane! I may have to CASE your card...it is lovely!
Absolutely stunning! Your coloring is always amazing. Thinking of you, and your Florida neighbors. Sending up prayers that God will keep you safe and sound. Let us know how you are! Hugs...
This is breath-taking! The plaid is gorgeous, and you have done a fabulous job of coloring the image to compliment the background. Blessings,
Christine
SQUEE! I just love how you coloring POPs Cheryl sweet friend. And love that plaid border. Just so beautiful and makes me smile and want to color and to get outside in the fall weather all at the same time!
Hope you’re safely tucked away out of the hurricane Cheryl. I’ve been thinking about you today! This is a gorgeous card. That plaid you’ve used is perfection! Such gorgeous warm rich shades in your colouring too!
