Cherries, Piggies and Paper Pumpkins

It's been crazy busy around here this past week! The cherry harvest is ready and we've been picking red, ripe, juicy cherries like crazy and having other people over to pick some for themselves.  

We only have one cherry tree, but each year it produces hundreds of pounds of cherries, no matter how brutally we prune it back in the spring! The harvest was a bit late this year due to a cold, sunless spring, but it was definitely worth waiting for!  

In between all this, we found a fifth wheel to buy and took possession of that today. We have not yet managed to park it in our driveway, which is steep! That is a learning curve for sure. It's sitting in our neighbour's driveway for now, but I will post pictures later. It's a small one, second hand and fairly old, but in excellent shape and perfect for us! They made things with really good quality back then!

I needed some thank you cards and decided to get out one of my favourite new stamp sets: This Little Piggy to make it:

• The This Little Piggy set comes complete with a Thank You sentiment so that was a perfect solution. I stamped the piggies in Basic Black Archival ink on Powder Pink cardstock and coloured in the cheeks, ears and noses using the Powder Pink Stampin' Write Marker. So cute!
• I added the flourishes from Timeless Textures stamp set onto some Powder Pink cardstock using Powder Pink ink and mounted that panel in different configurations to use up different sized scraps on pieces of Whole Lot of Lovely Designer Series Paper in the Powder Pink floral design.
• These are added to Whisper White 3 1/2" x 5" Notecards. Easy peesy!

In all the busyness, I received my July Paper Pumpkin, but have only just had time to glance at it! But from what I saw, I'm looking forward to some quiet me time to put it together. In the meantime, I'll show you the official Paper Pumpkin Video on it:
