"Hi Buddy"

Here is yet another fall card I made this week. I just love the fall, can't you tell? I can't wait to send this off to a friend of mine just to tell her hello.

Cartridge: Create-A-Critter (squirrel, cloud)

I used a sketch challenge over at Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge #100 to make this fun card.Plus, I got to exercise my sewing machine a tad! I stitched wacky swirls on the cloud shape and I stitched along the border of the card. I added some pumpkin color ric-rac, some rust brads and some buttons from my stash. The pattern paper is from Imaginisce's Apple Cider collection. The solid cardstock is Bazzil basics. I used a corner punch (Fiskar) on the patterned paper and a mini tag punch (Martha) for the sentiment. I also used a Tim Holtz embossing folder that looks like wood. A little inking and a little white gel pen on the eyes finishes up this card!

Thanks for looking!

(PS I added this blog to late in order to enter my card. Poo!)

NSD- CHALLENGE #12 (Critter-licious)

I had a lot of fun making this card. I just got my "Give a Hoot" cartridge in the mail today and I was itching to give it a test run! I had hoped that it was going to come last week but at least I got to use it today for the card challenge.

The challenge was to use a critter or animal on your card. I love the cute animals on this cart so it was a hard decision to come up with only one! This squirrel stole my heart and it was so fun to use all those layers (I had recently made an owl card for a different challenge or else I would've picked it). I added a little bling in the lower right hand corner but it was hard to get it to show up in the pic. I also really like the Green Stack from DCWV; it just seems to go perfectly with the Give a Hoot cart so I couldn't wait to use it.

And this is the last of the challenges and I feel so glad that I was able to do them all! What a fun National Scrapbooking Weekend! Thanks again to the Pink Stamper for making this challenge so fun with all of the giveaways. Have a great week everyone!
