Autumn

Hello.

I have spent yesterday and today cleaning.  Just general straighten and getting ready for the holidays.  I love Thanksgiving.  I feel like it is a forgotten holiday.  We go straight from Halloween to Christmas.  But I don't.  My house will have a huge Turkey inflatable in the front year and all the colors of Fall on the inside.

Usually Thanksgiving is at the house, but a couple of years ago, we started going to my son's house.  He works the day before and the day after so it seems crazy for him to come home for one day.  He usually cooks but this is I am doing and taking with us.

Since I was in a clean mood, I made this simple and clean card.  It is really unusual for me, but I like how it came out.

Pumpkins

Hello again.  I am still cleaning off my desk and I ran across another shaker card, that I needed to post.  Are you tired of them yet?  I love making them so you will see more of them.

The pumpkins are from Queen & Co's Happy Harvest set.  I am not sure where the embossing folder is from.

Shadow Box Cards

Hello.  Is it Winter already?  The high today was only 43.  At least it was sunny.

Remember the cute shadow box cards, I got for my birthday.  I decided to try one.  I don't have the Lawn Fawn die so I headed over to the Silhouette Design Store.  They had a ton of them.  I picked one from Lori Whitlock.

I made the first one without resizing it.  It came out 4 1/2" square, so mailing it would have cost extra postage.  I really don't like to do that, so then I resized it and cut it again.   It came out so cute.  And it will be perfect for the A2 envelope.



Challenges I am entering...
     Crafty Sentiments - Fancy Folds
     Simon Says Wednesday - Anything Goes

I am off to cut something else.  I hope everyone has a good weekend.  Chat with you later.

Happy Halloween

Hello and happy belated Halloween.  It was so rainy and cold here.  I felt sorry for the kids.  The rain even had some snow in it.

I have one more Halloween card for you.  I have had so much fun playing with all of my Queen & Co sets.  I still have a few more to play with.  I am going to start over next week and see if I can get a few more cards made.  I still have the new truck set, the tag set and the All Bundled Up sets. 

Anyway,  on to the Halloween card.  I have this thing for candy corn.  I enjoy eating it, plus I just love the colors.  It makes me think Fall, football and family.  All of the important things.  lol

 I like to use candy corn for Fall/Thanksgiving cards, too so you may see some orange, yellow and white candy still. 

I am not sleepy, even though, it is bedtime so I am off to see what I can get into.  I don't know if I will be back or not.  If not, have a great evening.  Chat with you later.
