Fall Criss-Cross Card

I have been seeing these cards all over the web and decided I must make one. I went to YouTube and reviewed several videos until I found one the I could follow easy.  There are so many out there.

When I think of Fall, I think of yummy caramel apples. This treat was the inspiration for my card.  I dug into my stash of paper and found this beautiful paper that I picked up a few years ago and thought it was just too nice to use. It is from "imaginisce" fall collection. Love, love, love this paper.

The svg cuts are from PPPR and Miss Kate Cuttables. I added some doodles, buttons, twine and ribbon to make it pop. I really like the way it turned out. Now if I could just part with it.

Cascading Fall Card

I have seen several of the cards on the web and decided to take a stab at it. Wow, very time consuming to build. I became frustrated several time but finally after having to take several time outs, I was ready to decorate my card.

I used PPPR Apple Picking Cutting Files here http://www.prettypapergraphics.com/item_121/Apple-Picking-Cutting-Files.htm

I added some doodles, twine, ribbon and buttons to make it pop.

Spooky Shaker Card

I have been wanting to make a shaker card and today assembled one for a few color challenges going on. For this challenges you have to use the colors orange, purple, black, green (or small amounts of green) and small amounts of white. Perfect for Halloween. To be honest, I had originally inked the white eyes, downloaded the photo and just before uploading it to my blog my seven year old daughter suggested googly eyes. "Great idea" I responded and she told me next time to check with her before I took the picture to make sure everything was right, lol. What can I say? She gets it from me.

The title is a freebie from My Scrap Chick and the witches hat was a freebie from Miss Kate Cuttables. I love those freebies. I purchased the ribbon from LoveBug Creations, the sequins from My Craft Spot and used black stickles on the hat. Yes, I need stamps to add to my cards. I just ordered a few but this is also why I am entering a few challenges. To build my supplies by adding stamp sets. This card seems fitting for the Cardz TV Challenge as I watched a video from one of her DT members to learn how to make the card. I'm sorry I can't remember which member as I watch so many. Much thanks for the how to.

Nuts About You Fall Card

Ok, so fall is almost gone in Alaska and winter is setting in. When I saw this cute little freebie squirrel on PPPR's blog hop this past weekend, I knew it would go perfect with the PPPR Freebie Friday Fall Tree. I just had to make this card for my husband's grandmother Ruthie, who is 92 years young. Thank you, Lisa, for all the great files and inspiration. I look forward to Friday's to see what you have for me. 

If you didn't pick up the Nuts About You squirrel during the blog hop, you can still purchase it.
