The Count Down is ON!

Wow! I have been waiting all year for this moment! The release of my very first stamp set! When I received my samples in the mail I was so excited that I didn't want to use my stamps because they were so perfect. Well that moment of awe lasted only minutes before I started inking up my stamps. The cool part of about the five day count was it challenged me to used my one stamp set exclusively for projects and I was so excited to see the versatility in the set. I know it designed it that way- but it was fun to really make it happen.

I LOVE FALL! Every year I decorate my home and burn pumkin spice candles. All my life I have lived in Florida, but in about 2 weeks my family will be moving to Colorado Springs. So, this will be a very different fall season for me. It might be harder to watch my Florida Gators on TV when we are 2000 miles away... but this will be the first year I have lived through the beauty of the colors of fall. Yeah! I am so excited!

My move to colder weather makes this set all the more special. I called this set FALL ELEGANCE because I think the way the trees embrace the season is beautifully graceful. Most people (myself included) cringe with change... our hairs turn gray, our body changes and we do everything we can to avoid it. But it seems that God's creation relishes the season and the trees know exactly how beautiful they are when the colors change. The leaves dance in the air and create a divine confetti all over the ground as nature celebrates the closing of yet another season. Nature really does age with elegance. It is the essence of such beauty that inspired this stamp set for me. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have! Just a few more days to wait!

May you enjoy the upcoming fall season with the elegance and and contentment with your inner beauty.

  2. This looks fabulous! I was always a spring-time girl, and then met and started dating my husband in the fall one year. That turned it into something magical for me. I can't wait to see what else you've made the rest of the week!

And, as someone who turned 50 in the past year, I really appreciate your comments on seasons and aging. Can't wait to see/hear more -- and best wishes as you move to a place with four definite seasons!

  16. I moved from TN (hoping the Vols have a MUCH better year!!) to Wyoming about 18 months ago- a BIG change. You will LOVE Colorado Springs- the mountains are unlike anything you have ever seen- AMAZING!!! A BIG plus about living out here- the time difference- no more LATE night games- if it starts at 8 on the east coast- 6 out here!!!

  21. I love this stamp set already, Fall is my favorite season of the year.
    BTW, I live in Colorado Springs - you are going to love it here. My family retired from the military and wanted to live no where else. I lived in (Jacksonville & Crestview) Florida for many years and while there is no real comparision to Colorado - I love it here in CO. You will have to take a drive in the mountains this fall.

  28. Fall:
    Fathering Angels Layering Love,remembering the Beauty of our Home of Mother Nature.
    Fall is the best time of year in my Family, It's the start of a new fresh season with camp outs,family gatherings and more.
    The beauty of mother nature flowing into our home threw windows and screen doors on the porch drinking Hot Cocoa. The comfort of the lord speaking to us; It's Beauty. Thank you Tiff for your creation I can not wait to get this set it will be for my creation of wedding invites to my Baby Brother's Wedding in the Fall. Can't wait to see your other creations I will be a collector. Lots of Love and Blessings to you and your Family with the move God Bless :)
