It's supposed to get down into the low 30's for the next couple of days. It was a chilly, windy day today.

I made this card with the Sunny Studios Happy Owl-o-ween dies and stamps and the Pretty Pumpkins layering stamps and dies and I can't remember where I got the trees die from. The base card is an odd size 5 7/16" square, because I cut the tree dies and then made the base around them with about 1 1/2" space at the bottom. I used blending brushes to make the back ground colors of green yellow, orange and pink with Memento dew drop inks. I stamped and colored the owls with my copics then die cut them. I stamped and layered the pumpkins, again, with the yellow and orange family of Memento inks, then used my copics to give them hilights, and cut them out. I cut a pc of burlap and glued the edges to keep them from fraying and used a sentiment I got from Michaels. Came out pretty cute! I just love the owls and pumpkins, so cute!





That's it for today, hope you enjoyed stoppin' by!
Thanks to all the challengers above for lettin' me play along.
Blessings!

Happy Anniversary!

Hey blogger friends!   

I have an anniversary card to share today.

Entering in these challenges:

Crafty Catz - #523 AAG
Crafty Friends - #147 Embossing
Creative Moments - #200 AAG
Digi Choosday - #41 AAG
Penny's - #482 AAG

The Sisterhood of Crafters - Lots of Layers
Sweet Stampin - Girly/No Pink*
*Sentiment is a stamp

I made this card for our 32nd anniversary.  
I used the Apple Blossom's That Embossing Folder and the extras you can get that go along with it, the scalloped, wavy border and the wavy sentiments. Found them all one Ebay. 
The base is 5 x 7".  I made 2 embossed pcs of paper and turned one upside down, lined them up, attached them together, marked it and trimmed them down to fit the base pc w/ an 1/8" of the base pc showing all around.  I die cut the scalloped border, lined it up, marked it, cut it down to fit the top pc, stamped the sentiment and adhered it to the front. I embellished it with pearls w/peach roses, darker peach rose flowers and a cross I had in my stash.




That's it for now, hope you enjoyed stoppin' by!
