Fall Fun...

Good morning my sweet friends!  It is once again time for a new challenge over at the Love Those Pretty Papers Challenge where anything goes as long as you use some of your pretty papers.  This challenge there is an optional theme of Fall Papers.  Well I just happen to have a card I just made using the Heartfelt Creations Beary Fun Retreat Collection.  I still have quite a bit of this lovely paper so I'm in the process of making Fall cards for loved ones and friends and hopefully some for the nursing home.  Here is a little look at my card:

I just love all the pretty shades of green and orange...then there is that gorgeous plaid.  Those falling leaves remind me that my own trees are beginning to lose leaves  and it won't be long until there are quite a few to get rid of!

Here is a close up of some of the elements of the card design.  I have been really enjoying playing with matting everything in black.  It gives so much dimension to my cards and they can still mail with one stamp!

So I am off to work on a black cat I will use on one of my Fall/Halloween cards soon. Hope you have a lovely day!

Fall Card For My Stash...

Good morning my friends and welcome to my blog.  I'm here this morning to share a Fall card I made to add to my stash.  I'm also entering this in the Double D Challenge and the Word Power Challenge.   The theme this time is Sunflowers and look what I just happened to have lying on my desk waiting for a little card to use it on. 

The papers have done the heavy lifting on this one...Heartfelt Creations Beary Fun Retreat.  The word Fall is a die I have lying about but I can't remember where it is from.  I'm afraid that is the way of a lot of things in my Craft Room.  

Well this does it for me this morning.  I hope your day is a good one!

 

Once Upon an Eerie Tale

Good morning my friends and welcome.  I'm here this morning to share with you a Halloween card I made and am entering into the Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge.

I am on a mission to use up some of my many pretty papers in my craft room and this ancient Graphic 45 pad has been tugging on my sleeve.  I was hoarding it for something....I know not what.... so here we go!

And the back looks like this:

I made this a tent fold card with a mechanism to help it stand and it will most probably go to the nursing home.  It can be displayed on a night stand or tray table or even on a nurse's station counter.  

It was a lot of fun to make and I hope you enjoy!
