Today’s beautiful color palette is inspired by the brilliant Goldrush leaves (now falling on lawns everywhere), along with the shorter days and deepening blue skies of Lagoon, Outdoor Denim, and Pacifica. These are such perfectly seasonal colors; I’m surrounded by them when I look out any window. Every year, when these colors start invading the landscape, it triggers my “gratitude reflex” and I always become profoundly reflective on my blessings as we approach Thanksgiving.
One of my greatest blessings is my friendship with Monica, who has worked side by side with me at Close To My Heart for more than 18 years. When we met, she was literally just a teenager—but today, she’s a talented professional and a mom with six beautiful little blessings of her own. This simple but lovely wreath says it all—family, blessings, and seasonal gratitude in a glorious round you can hang on a door and share with every visitor to your home.
Note, too, that the cards I’m sharing today focus on using cardstock—with a little distressing and some just-right stamping, cardstock really is all you need to make a simple but bold statement. I hope you enjoy playing with this color palette—and that you’re enjoying similar seasonal colors wherever you live!
I, too, have many things for which to be thankful! Thank you for all the inspiration you give every day! Vicki Emmerson
