It's another Queen Kat Hop
Today's challenge is to use blue, white and silver. I hope you got her from Nancy's blog. If not, just start at the QKD blog and follow the trail. You will love everyone's projets.
Today, I created a cute little mini book to give to a coworker or a friend. It was really easy to make and quick too. It took only about 10 minutes from start to finish!!! And it was perfect to use with my Busy stamps . While it is hard to see, I "painted" my little guy with some silver Shimmerz and I had to use some brown cardstock to make him stand out a little.
I started by cutting 2 pieces of chipboard and 4 pieces of pattern paper each 4x4. I adhered the pattern paper to both sides of the chipboard then rounded the bottom edges. Using my Bind It All, I added Owires to the top and some ribbon. I stamped my items from the BUSY stamp set with my circle Nestabilities, then mounted them to the cover. Inside I added post it notes and voila - done. Hope you like it.
Don't forget to stop at the store and pick out your stamps. After all, there is a wonderful sale (up to 35% off) now through Christmas Eve, so stock up while you have the chance.

Fabulous Fall
Just wanted to share another Cricut layout. This time I used A Child's Life cartridge. The letters (including the scalloped oval), the pumpkins and the leaves were all cut from this cartridge. You know by now that I love embossing, so I used Cuttlebug embossing folders.
Supplies:
Die cuts: Cricut Expression, A Child's Life cartridge
Pattern paper, stickers: Basic Grey, Recess
Embossing: Cuttlebug

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.

Creepy Card
10/11/09
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
