Never said this before...

Deep fall shades of orange and aqua seemed like the perfect complementary combination for our latest treasury. Paired with the lyrics of Chris August's song "Want To Be Real" (perfectly suited to handmade items, don't you think?), we collected our favorite CAST finds for your viewing pleasure.

'I want to be real...' by HandiworkinGirls

I've never said this before
I've never opened that door so wide
No one else is around
There is no good reason for me to hide
And I, I want to be real

There’s too much at stake
And I’m tired of fakin’
I just want to be real
I want to be real
There’s too much at stake
I don’t care if I break
I just want to be real

Do I belong to you?

Fall colors plus Sanctus Real's "Dear Heart" can only mean one thing - treasury inspiration! While browsing the CAST team's offerings, we discovered these beautiful items in rich shades of rust, orange, red, and brown. All that is left to make the perfect fall experience to add is a cup of hot apple cider and maybe a fresh scone (or two).

'Dear heart, do you belong to me?' by HandiworkinGirls

Dear heart,
Do you belong to me
Or do I belong to you
Just look at all the trouble
You dragged me into
I've heard it said
To follow your heart
But I'm starting to wonder
If it's gone too far

Heart, you let me down
Chasing love when it can’t be found
And heart, we’ve fallen out
All of your emotions have led me to doubt
Only Jesus can save us now

Thinking of you...

From our custom work over the summer...

Crisp white and natural kraft brown cards make our hand-stamped card sets both versatile and classy. Stamped butterflies, dots, and flowers in a variety of styles keep our designs looking playful and unique, while simple greetings lend themselves to several occasions. The color palettes vary from subdued navy blue and tan to bright green and berry and from rich plum and chocolate brown to retro-inspired soft yellow, moss green, and aqua.

Copyright: All stamped images are copyrighted to Stampin' Up! ® and the back of each card is marked with one of the images from an official Stampin’ Up! ® Limited License stamp set.

Shine on me...

Fall is here, and so are fantastic autumn-hued pieces from our CAST team mates. Today’s theme is shadow and sunshine, inspired by the lyrics of the song “The Shadow Proves the Sunshine” by Switchfoot. (And yes, "Sunshine and Shadow" is also one of our favorite quilt patterns.)

'The Shadow Proves The Sunshine' by HandiworkinGirls

Sunshine, won't you be my mother
Sunshine, come and help me sing
My heart is darker than these oceans
My heart is frozen underneath

We are crooked souls trying to stay up straight,
Dry eyes in the pouring rain
The shadow proves the sunshine

Oh Lord, why did you forsake me?
Oh Lord, don't be far away
Storm clouds gathering beside me
Please Lord, don't look the other way

Shine on me,
Let my shadows prove the sunshine
