New! Paint Chips: Fall Floral kit and September 2025 Template Bundle

Hey Connie Fans!  It's time for this week's new goodies from Connie.  First up is a spectacular addition to the Paint Chips series called Fall Floral. 

Celebrate the beauty of autumn with the Paint Chips Fall Floral collection — a vibrant tribute to the season’s rich palette. This kit bursts with chrysanthemums and other favorite fall blossoms, capturing the cozy warmth and golden glow of harvest time.

Designed around the explosion of fall colors, the kit highlights shades of orange, gold, rust, and earthy brown, perfect for layering, journaling, and creative storytelling. Each element feels like a crisp autumn afternoon, filled with texture, charm, and the timeless elegance of fall florals.

Whether you’re preserving family gatherings, seasonal adventures, or everyday moments, Paint Chips Fall Floral brings the season’s magic to your pages with a warm, inviting energy.

Thursday Recap + FREEBIE

 It's that time of the week where we are on the cusp of seeing the weekend arrive but have a bit of work to do.  Sometimes I get to Thursday and wonder where the week went and other times I get to Thursday and wonder how I'm going to get through a few more days before crashing hard.  I'm sort of in that later category this week.  It may have something to do with the shortening hours of daylight.  It's dark as I'm driving to work which seemed to happen out of no where.  I'm serious, last week I was driving with plenty of sun breaking across the horizon and this week it's been full headlights on and no sun on the horizon.  I know that's definitely affecting my mood. 

I hope where ever you are, you're doing well and if you are experiencing any of these same feelings that you'll be able to shake them off and find something to be joyful about.  Me?  My moment of joy this week was hearing one of my 7th/8th grade Tenor/Bass singers leave the choir room saying that my class is the one that seems to fly by every day.  It happened on a day where I needed to hear that the most.  Rehearsal was productive but we were in the thick of things perfecting the ending of one of their upcoming concert pieces and I wasn't feeling in particularly joyful.  That one comment completely changed my outlook.  Yes, it was hard, but the end result was awesome.

Check-in with your crafting friends today and see how they are doing.  I bet they would love to hear from you!

Here's what Connie has happening this wonderful Thursday.

These two new Quick Page packs are rounding out being on sale.  Grab them today!

Today's freebie is a cluster from CTM Kelly that she made with Connie's "Weather the Storm" collection. I really want to work with this kit this weekend. There's something about it that's calling to my heart and I feel the urge to make some cards. The way Kelly tucked that paper square under the cluster reminds me of a quilted coaster.
