All Dressed Up for Halloween

September 4, 2013

I am crazy about Halloween and when I saw the Create with Connie and Mary challenge using Basic Black, Summer Starfruit and Pumpkin Pie, I decided it was the perfect chance to make a Halloween card.  I pulled out my "All Dressed Up" Framelits to make a dress for someone special!  Wonder who that might be?!?!?

Today I am entering the challenge by Connie and Mary.  I really like the way these three colors work together.  I absolutely love my new stamp set, Perfect Blend, and thought this whimsical look made a fun card to send to one of my coffee drinking buddies!  ENJOY!

Field Flowers

September 2, 2013

How did it get to be September?  I love the fabulous season of Fall that is coming before we blink.
Today is Labor Day and I must stop and remember all the amazing people that made our great country what it is today.  I thank them for all their sacrifices to ensure fair and safe work environments.  We are all truly blessed to be Americans!

Today was the perfect day to make my wonderful Mommy her birthday card.  She will be 85 on September 9th.  She has been an inspiration to so many and loved us all unconditionally.  She is the hardest worker I know, so it is fitting to create her card on Labor Day.
