Beautiful Fall Day

Nothing quite says fall like pumpkins. One of the local churches had tons of pumpkins and I couldn't resist taking a photo. Most of the farm here have closed, so photo ops are a little scarce!!


And since it was such a beautiful day (cold but crisp), it's perfect dog walking days. Paulie loves being out in this weather.

First Copic Card

Well, I did it! I got hooked on Copic Ciao Markers. Didn't want to do it, but I fell hard. I've been taking a monthly class on using these markers and I must say, with practice, I can definitely see the difference in my work.
This is my FIRST completed card and I love it. I wasn't too sure last night, but when I looked this morning, I was fine with it. Of course, I just had to use my Happy Birthday Cuttlebug embossing folder (can't live without them) along with some Making Memories pattern paper.

Autumn Splendor

I love fall with it's clean, crisp air and crunchy leaves. I recently created this card with Basic Grey's Lemonade papers, Cuttlebug cut and emboss leaves and photo corner, Smooch gold ink over the veins of the leaf. The stamp is by Stampland which I stamped in Adirondak Ginger and the bling is from my stash

Queen Kat Designs

Yesterday was my first "official" blog post on Queen Kat's blog. I don't have too many stamps YET, but I am pleased with how my card turned out.


I stamped with Ranger Ginger ink and then cut out the flowers and the bracket. I used the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder on the flowers for some added dimension and the Allegro embossing folder with a touch of ink on some Making Memories pattern paper. I then assembled the card onto some Bazzill cardstock. A perfect, quick and easy card for a friend.
