Getting Ready For Fall

Hello Everyone

Welcome to the start of a new month. 

Gosh, we are halfway done with summer. The time is a'flying, isn't it!!!

The Craft-Dee BowZ challenge for August 

has started and the theme is Anything Goes 

The sponsor for August is 

Patties Creations

The winner will receive 3 digital images

I decided to work up a fall card.

 (I think I'm tired of the hot dry weather we've been having lately)

This card is a really simple design 

and the image I used just screams fall.

I used the Pumpkin with Vines image

I just love pumpkins. 

And of course they are definitely a reminder of fall.

I think black goes so well with orange so, I got out some black wide, sheer, wired edge ribbon.

Since my card is a 5X7 size, the bow I made is a little larger. 

This bow is just a double loop bow. And that ribbon has a hint of glitter on it.

Here is a closer view of this luscious bow.

Fluffy bows are so pretty in person and also look great on a package or a gift bag.

The Craft-Dee BowZ bow making tool makes a great bow every time and it's so easy to use.

For my card today I used Halloween Pumpkin.

Those pumpkins are really spooky aren't they!!

I printed the image 2 times, colored them and used on my card front. 

I had some Halloween DP  in my stash and it was a perfect fit for the theme and the image.

I added a bow and a bat charm

Have a Bountiful Season

Hello Everyone

Well did you get a lot of Trick or Treaters?? I sure did!! Did you turn your clocks back 1 hour??

Can you believe it, we just crossed right into November. The last 2 months will fly by.

Since its the 1st of another month, its time for the new challenge over at Craft-Dee BowZ. That means you have the whole month to get a project made and entered in the challenge. As always the theme is Anything Goes with a Handmade Bow.

Let me share my inspiration card with you today. (All of the CDB designers make an inspiration piece to share with you all. The CDB post on the first of each month shows all of the DT inspiration projects.)

Here is a closer view of my bow, made with the Craft-Dee BowZ bow making tool.

The striped ribbon is just 2 loops staggered one on top of the other. The center bow however is a triple loop bow, made with the Craft-Dee BowZ tool and I just attached it to the center of the staggered loops.

Since we are in the fall season, I added the silk leaves as added interest and added texture. 

Just think, this little tool made that bow on my card. And it makes bow making so easy.

You can order your very own here
