CardPatterns #85, Create4fun #41, Stampin' for the Weekend #49, TotallyPaperCrafts #38

Fall is still in there air with plenty of challenges out there to take part in for inspiration... this little cutie is Kai from Mo Manning's Digi's. Sooooo cute. Our family loves fall especially for the leaf tossing. I'll send this card to my brother for his baby girl due in November. They live where the tree's are plentiful so I am certain they too will make great use of the leaves year to year.

Card Pattern #85 is the following sketch to play with:

Create4Fun #41 wants a Digi Stamp used.
Totally Paper Crafts #38 is looking for Autumn.
Stampin' for the Weekend #49 is looking for Fall.

Just Magnolia #74, My Time to Craft #108, Stamptacular Sunday #78

Isn't that a sweet sentiment??? I mean... really... that is what we want to say most times but don't say it as simply. Autumn is such a beautiful time of year full of transition from the busy summer months, harvest time, cool crisp mornings, bright color everywhere, leaves rustling in the gentle breeze... all of that is caught up in this Magnolia stamp for me. She's just so sweet, ready for whatever the day might bring.

My Time To Craft #107, Cards & More #9, Sketch Saturday #122, Fun With Shapes and More #66

Another great fall digi stamp from Mo's Digital Pencil. I love this little guy just laying back in the leaf pile he just worked so hard to rake! In my house it is the boy who plays after we do all the hard work but it is fun for us all the same!

The background paper is a print and rotate of the challenge at Cards and More this week. The challenge is to mimic the photo used but seriously the photo is stunning and the colors are absolutely beautiful! I printed the enlarged photo on transparent vellum, cropped and mounted the image rotated. The overlay on the strip of paper, leaf punches and behind the sentiment are also from this print.

My Time To Craft Challenge #107 is Kid's At Play
Fun With Shapes & More #66 is Lace using something punched (leaf handtool)
Sketch Saturday #122 was so fun to use for this card

Mo's Challenge Blog #50, Papertake Weekly-Animal Magic, Everybody-Art-Challenge #109

It's been a loooooooooooonnnnnggggg time for me to make a card. Today was a good day to color and craft with my son. I hopped on a few challenges to get me going. Fall is in the air here. This squirrel digi stamp from Mo's Digital Pencil is an all time favorite for me. The current challenge at Mo's Challenge Blog is Bling, Bling, Bling... well... how to bling up a a Squirrel??? Lot's of stickles :) It turned out pretty fun. I used Debbie Mumm's Harvest & Holiday papers and Prima First Blush CS. The sentiment is computer generated using Organic Elements font.

The card was made using Stamp & Fun = Creativity #13 Sketch (last weeks challenge).

Everybody-Art-Challenge #109 - Autumn

Fall ~ Card Front Swap

Card fronts... what a fun idea. Make all the goodies for a card, put it all together, swap and assemble when you need it! I am in love with fall. The new cuttlebug folders are too fun! This little card came together with the help of Studio G series 20 stamps, cuttlebug A2:Autumn and button strip from Borders: Just My Type. It is so simple, I just love it.
