Autumn!



Hi, Friends!

Life has been busy once again, so it's been a couple weeks since I've been back here.  But, I was able to get into my craft room today and make a card for a friend to thank her for bringing a cake and gifts to the craft retreat last weekend.  Another birthday gal, Trina, had a birthday, also.  It was a great time with friends, good food, and crafting!  I focused on making Christmas and birthday cards for next month.  I'll post those later.  This weekend we will go down to our son's to celebrate my birthday.  I'm looking forward to it!  He asked me what I wanted for my birthday and I said Hobby Lobby gift card.  He said he didn't want to buy a gift card.  I said do you want to buy me a craft item?  He said sure I do.  I told him I'd like 100% cotton yarn.  So, we'll see what he comes up with, lol!

So, I'd like to tell you about the above card.  I received some new goodies from Pretty Pink Posh with the basket, leaves, and pumpkins.  It was very easy to create by coloring with copics and die cutting.  The sentiment is from Honey Bee. Gold dots to finish the card.  I'm entering this card over at 




EDIT:


I believe I posted the first card too quickly because after I looked at it something didn't look right.  So, I added another red leaf.  I now think that it looks more balanced.  Oh, well, live and learn, lol!


Ok, that's all for now.  I hope you all are doing well.  The weather has been warm and windy, but I'll take the warm weather.  And, the leaves are very beautiful this time of year.  Thanks so much for dropping by today!  Take care!

Hugs!

  2. Your fall sounds wonderful, Maria! Enjoy it while it lasts and your birthday this weekend, too! I think your son is very cool to prefer giving you something to open. When you asked if he wanted to buy you a craft item, I thought you were going to say some $300 craft machine, lol! Thank you for the smile and for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS with this beautiful fall basket of leaves and pumpkins! The plaid is perfect for the background! Hugs, Darnell

  3. I do love that basket of autumnal goodies. Such great colours and the colourful plaid background sets them off really well. You are right about that extra leaf. Hope your son gets it right with the cotton yarn. Wishing you a very happy birthday too xx
