Happy Wednesday! I’m excited to report that I am now a member of the Around the World on Wednesday (AWOW) Team! I am so honored to have been chosen to join this amazing group of stampers. Huge thanks to Angie McKenzie from Central US for reaching out to me and asking me to join when a spot opened up on the East Coast. This is so exciting! Here’s a photo of us:
This month’s Blog Hop theme is “Let’s Go For a Walk.” I can’t wait to see what my new stamping friends came up with for this theme. The instructions were pretty wide open, so I have no doubt you’ll be inspired. Grab a cup of coffee and take a trip around the World with me!
As soon as I read about the theme for this Hop, I knew I wanted to use the new All About Autumn suite in the Sept-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog, featuring the new All About Autumn designer series paper. Let’s take a look at these papers:
I grew up in eastern Pennsylvania, and then lived in Massachusetts for 20 years, taking a walk or a hike in the fall was something we did often because the fall leaves are just so beautiful! The new DSP in this suite is so pretty and these images immediately took me back to crisp fall days in the Northeast. Now living in eastern North Carolina I crave the foliage. We get a little of it down here, but not quite like in the mountains.
Here are my cards:
Let’s take a closer look:
For these cards, I used the exact same layout – inspired by a card on page 4 of the Mini catalog (more on that later this week when I do a Case the Catalog post). In addition to the All About Autumn dsp, I also used the Autumn Leaves bundle, the new Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder, and the GORGEOUS Oxidized Copper 12 x 12 Specialty DSP. These photos do not even do that paper justice. Holy moly it is so pretty. Shop the supplies below.
The first card of the three is my favorite — and makes me feel like I’m walking along that path. Here it is again:
I’m curious to hear what would you do for this “Let’s Go for a Walk” challenge. Let’s see what my new Around the World on Wednesday friends did. Next up in the Hop is Shel Anderson from Canada.
Happy Stamping friends! Kelly

Such lovely cards reminiscent of your walks from years ago in Pennsylvania. It’s such a beautiful state! And fall there would be as beautiful as these scenes from this fabulous DSP! Thanks for joining us on your first Around the World on Wednesday blog hop – so glad you are part of the team!

Great cards Kelly! Glad you could join us!
Thank you so much! Excited to be part of this!
These are wonderful cards, Kelly!
Thank you so much!
Very beautiful. I talked about walking down a tree- lined dirt road in Pennsylvania and I used the same paper! Awesome!
Oh my goodness – yes! I was born and raised in eastern PA in the Poconos, so for sure this DSP reminds me of home.
These are fabulous. The colours and textures literally make me feel like I’m walking through a park. Fabulous interpretation x
Thank you so much!!
Welcome, Kelly! Great to have you join us. These papers are indeed just perfect for evoking an autumn walk – such wonderful colours and images. Nice use of the layout – CASEing is a great inspiration.
Thank you so much for your comment Jan! Excited to hop with you.
