Autumn hey pumpkin Card - SimonSaysStamp PumpkinSpiceVibes AutumnKnits SU SpecialSomeone SpecialDay

Autumn weather of temps 60s - 70s was here in N TX for awhile a wk ago but Summer temps 90+. Made this card wishing for Autumn to return soon.

I like Pumpkin Spice Latte. Hubby bought me some Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Ground Coffee and I make my own PSL using Keurig. I add PS syrup & PS creamer (use Keurig frother to make the Latte part). We recycle the coffee grounds putting them into a container to use outside in our garden. Do you like PSL?

Back to School Forest scene

Please click here for Tip Thursday 9/10 Color Tags & Dry Embossing. Please visit during Sept for new Tip Thursdays.
 
Decided to think outside the box or should I say outside in the forest for this Back to School creation. The students and teachers are keeping their social distance. Did not mask them up. The students are sitting on mushrooms at the tree stump desk. Here schools are virtual & in person and some have both choices. My daughter has been out of school; she completed her Master's degree 3 yrs ago.

Supplies
cardstock/paper: brown, chalk black (Easel center), 
  Kraft, white  
  pattern - brown that is tree stump
chalk: white (calligraphy write Back to School on Easel)
Crayola: pencil colors
ink: CTMH Toffee, VersaFine Onyx Black 
recycle: cardboard - used for sturdiness
