Just for FUN! Our area stamp club meets this afternoon and I wanted a card to swap. This is what I came up with…. I used the sketch from Just Magnolia…wow, I love it…sketches usually take me forever but this one didn’t! YEA! Thanks Mina!

Dig these new flowers?!!! Awesome… new punch and emboss from Nellie Snellen in the Netherlands…
Paper is My Minds Eye and Bazzil, Fiskars and Martha border and branch punches, Stampin up white taffeta ribbon I dyed with my copic markers, Hero Arts pearls, Tilda from Magnolia and the sentiment from Wordsworth. Hope she makes you smile and get to work! HA! oh and she is colored with copic sketch markers. I colored her a couple days ago and I don’t have a clue what I used. bum, I would like to know myself!!!

halloween would be fun again!!! That’s what Fiskars said in this old ad! I LOVE it! I made this ATC a few years ago, but thought it’d be fun to share it here…Hope it makes you smile!
I reduced the ad, added stitching, the button, ribbon and had to use a pinking decorative scissors to really make it “authentic”!

Emma and her wheelbarrow…

Busy Emma…I’m sure she’s thinking of creative things to do with all her pumpkins! She was very fun to color. She is a CC Designs stamp. The falling leaves and pumpkins are from there also.

I’m entering this card for the create a scene challenge on the Saturday Spotlight blog.
I colored her with copic sketch markers….well, I have some Tria alcohol markers and I used those for her flesh tones this time. The Fall sentiment is a new Hero Arts wood mount stamp. The fence border punch is from Martha Stewart. Pumpkin brads from Making Memories. The pattern paper is an old, old Basic Grey set called Fusion…perfect for Fall…I’d forgotten all about it until I started digging! lol
