Trigger Happy with Sketchy Thursdays

When I saw the new sketch at Sketchy Thursdays, I knew exactly which photos I wanted to scrap - shots of the barn and Jaxon at the pumpkin patch.  I LOVE fall and I LOVE creating with fall colors, but I was hoping to do something a little different with this one.  Then I saw it - the Tuesday Trigger at Moxie Fab World - all bright and beautiful blue!  Blue is not a color I typically think of for fall, but since Jaxon was wearing a blue hoodie, I decided to make it work.  Paired with mustard yellow, I love the result!

It's day four of my Attitude of Gratitude challenge and I am SO happy to see everyone playing along!  I'm having a hard time finding just one thing to express each day.  Just this morning I'm grateful for cuddling in the covers with my boys, their blue eyes, and wet wipes :).  But officially for day four I'm grateful for music.  I attended a special program last night honoring the young women at church.  The leader of our congregation spoke about how music had touched his life in very sweet ways and the young women sang a beautiful song.  Being a dancer I think I am even more sensitive to the influences of music, and I am so grateful for the musical talents of others that we can so freely enjoy.

What are you grateful for today?  Have a good one! Tessa

  5. Hi Kelly - The big doily stamp is October Afternoon and I bought it at Two Peas. The little one at the top is by Maya Road and I picked it up at my LSS, although I've seen it at Scrapbook.com and Two Peas. The punch is by EK Success and I bought it at JoAnn's.
