World Card Making Day

What a great thing to celebrate...card-making! And these adorable hedgehog digis were designed by Diane at Daydream Designs as a give-away to celebrate this fun event. And to top it off, they gave the 'two hedgehogs with the envelope' digi as a freebie to use on your card to enter the contest. I'm not good at winning things, but it's always fun to take on a challenge and give it a try! Go to Daydream Designs to get your free digi and enter the contest but hurry...it ends tomorrow!

You have to use a Daydream Designs digi to enter so I took advantage of the freebie to make a card that I'll be sending this week to a friend who's mother is dying.

I used a kraft cardstock base and embossed the bottom edge. I cut the digi image, the sentiment (which I computer generated), and the script designer paper with nestibilities. I punched extra hearts, colored them with R35 Copic marker and stacked the ones on the envelope, placing the other two on the card. Then I added Glossy Accents to allow them to stand out. The flower is a random store-bought flower and the twine from The Twinery. The sentiment says, "Sending LOVE and PRAYERS your way!

FALL is in the Air!!

I love Fall...don't you? The weather is cooler, the leaves are changing colors, Fall mums are blooming everywhere, pumpkin patches appear out of nowhere, and it is a season of thankfulness. In a world that is going crazy, I'm thankful that my part of the world is relatively safe and free, whereas people in other parts of the world are being jailed, persecuted, and even murdered because of what they believe. So I am thankful for my freedom.

Fall colors are so beautiful and I receive inspiration from them. Here is a sample of some of the Fall colors I'm inspired by.

And here are some of the cards I've recently made inspired by this beautiful season of the year!!
