Happy Birthday, Hal

This has to be in the mail today - I got behind - with Christmas cards, family visits, etc.  Actually it will be pretty quiet for us now as we had an early Christmas celebration.  Hal, our grandson tok a photography course last semester, so I looked for an image - could not locate a digi but found this in clip art - and it bears a striking resemblance!  The papers are DCWV Heritage, and the sticker is by Dazzles.  I actually stamped the HB!  Lia's challenge is to choose "my style".  I think my style is that I do not have one...  But dry embossing and sentiments are pretty much requisites for me.  I forget to use .this stitching EF (Cuttlebug).

DT Members - thank you for all the time and talent you share.  I hope you are enjoying Christmas and not fretting about getting comments made on time!

Fall Scene

I knew I wanted to use this embossing folder for the challenge at Joan's Gardens - it just took me all week to figure out how to include all the elements.  I think I did it!
Embossing folder - Sizzix;  orange, green, brown chalk; butterfly by Cheery Lynn (sold at Joan's store); green and white checked ribbon.  The embossed layer is matted on a lighter card base which does not really show.
