A Fall Card.....

Good morning bloggers!  I have a Fall/Halloween card I want to share this morning.  This little Magnolia image was sent to me by a wonderful blogger friend and I colored her using Ranger distress Inks.  I used a Spellbinders Oval to cut out the image and mounted onto a 6 X 6 card base that is layered with purple and white.  The corners are also from Spellbinders Fleur De Lis Accents Dies.  The die cuts behind the flowers are Marianne dies, sorry I don't have the name of them.  The flowers are from wild Orchid Crafts and they were white to begin with and I sponged inks on the tips of them to make them match my image.  I also made a little tag to slide into the side for a little gift to go along with the card.  This card would make a really cute Halloween card or even a Fall card.  This one will be going into my stash for just the right occasion. 

I have several cards I need to get to my sister, the enabler, so she can take them to the nursing home patients.  I just love that my cards bring some joy for these patients who need a card to give to someone who has done them a kindness.  I have never sold any of my cards .... never tried.  I just like giving them.   Who am I kidding...I just love making them.  That is where my "Joy" comes into play.  This is what makes me happy!  Many years ago when I first started my Journey, I would have never thought I would wind up making cards...but I truly have a passion for this and I hope by posting these I bring you some joy!

Have a wonderful Monday and wherever you are and whatever you are doing, remember to "Breathe"
While I was pulling weeds and Not Breathing a couple of days ago, I did something to my hip and so I've been babying it for a few days.  No more pulling weeds for awhile.  Looks like I can play, as long as I can sit for a little while at a time.  And I will have some quiet time to "Breathe"!  Nothing like getting old.  It sort of snuck up on me!
