Hi Friends!

Happy Fall Ya'll...

 

Hi Friends!

 

How are you on this fine Thursday evening?  I was inspired to make a fall card for the challenge over at The Shabby Tea Room!  Such pretty pumpkins in the inspiration photo.  And, I've seen many homes decorated around town with pumpkins and mum plants.  It really puts one in the mood for fall.  The peak fall colors will be seen here in NW Ohio October 16-22.  I'm looking forward to taking photos of the wonderful fall color.  Ok, now onto my card...

 

 

For my card, I started with a tan card base and paired it with Carta Bella papers.  I colored little Emma with copics and cut her out with coordinating die Sweet Cuts-Emma.  I paper pieced her outfit, which is from the stamp set The Splendor of Autumn.  The large pumpkins are from the set Stand Add-on Scarecrow, small pumpkins and leaves from set Stand Add-on Fall Harvest, and the sentiment and kite are from the set Happy Fall Ya'll.  Ribbon, twine, and dew drops to finish off the card.  Well, that's all for now.  Thanks so much for taking time out to view my card today!  Take care!

 

Hugs,

Maria

Dies R Us October Challenge (Team A)-"Gift Tags"

Hi there!

 

It's time once again for Dies R Us Challenge!  The theme this month for Team A is "Gft Tags"!   

 

Ok, friends, get out those fabulous fun dies and make gift tags, which can be birthday, wedding, Christmas, or Halloween!  You have until October 13th to enter.  The winner will receive a $10 gift certificate to the Dies R Us store!  So, come on over and join in on the fun!

For my card, I started with a black card base.  It was then paired with Doodlebug paper.  I used distress inks on water color paper and masked the sun.  The majority of the dies are from Taylored Expressions and the Lacey Square die on the decorated black box for the tag is from Spellbinder's.  The black box was only about a $1 from Michael's and it can hold some sweet treats for that special little trick-or-treater!  The twine and paper clips are from Doodlebug, also.  And,  I must ask...Do you get into the Halloween candy?  Uh huh...well, I do!:-)  And, I have to tell ya my new fav is the Hershey's milk chocolate with toffee and almonds...mmm!  

The dies listed above can be purchased at the Dies R Us Store.
And, here is the list of dies that I used today...

Taylored-Expressions--Dies--Circle-Numbers
Taylored Expressions-Dies-Bars of the Year
Taylored-Expressions--Dies--Gothic-Window
Taylored-Expressions--Dies--Gothic-Window-Accessories
Spellbinders-Nestabilities--Lacey-Squares
