Candy Corn is a Vegetable

Today I just have a fun little card that I made for my brother who loves to find ways of "not" eating his vegetables.  Yes, it's not something that you "will grow out of".  He is a full grown man and still avoids his "greens". 

I found some small envelopes at a "free store" at the recycling center in our city.  So I thought that I'd make a postcard to put in it.  I found the fun candy paper and sentiment at TLC.  I just love it when I see something and imediately know what I want to do with it.  I hope it makes him smile.

Orange You Thankful

Sorry about the corny title for this post.  Can you tell I have kids?  I have created this card for the Designed 2 Delight Saturday Designer Challenge - "Pumpkins".  I wanted to incorporate this lovely label into a card, since I've nothing to actually put the label on at the moment.  So here is what I've come up with.  I embossed the dark orange base with my cuttlebug folder and my trusty rolling pin.  ( A cuttlebug machine is on my "love to have" list.)  I then layered some fun polka dots and ribbon together with a great orange button.  To top it off I popped up the sweet pumpkin label with the sentiment stamped on it.  I added an eyelet and some extra ribbon to finish off the label.  Thanks for dropping by.

Fall is in the Air

Here is the second half of that wonderful Fall is in the Air set.  Even though all of the leaves are off of our trees here in the Yukon, I just love fall leaves!  I coloured her with my prismacolours and also sponged some ink around her as well. I love fall cranberries so I added her to some cranberry cardstock with red rhinestones.  I added her to a lovely leaf pile and printed out the same sentiment that I used for the boy card.  As the snow is starting to cover over the ground and trees here, I still love to remember the vibrant colours of fall.

Leaves are Falling

I just won this great fall digi over at Digi My World and it came as a pair with a little girl in a set called Fall is in the Air.  That card is coming up next.  I coloured him with prismacolours and sponged some brown ink around him to soften the image.  When my boys play in the leaves, the dirt flies also. LOL  With them anything can become airborne.  The sentiment was computer generated.  I was inspired to write that since my children love the song - Leaves are falling to the ground, to the ground, to the ground. Leaves are falling to the ground, It is Fall!  They sing this song and twirl around like leaves in the wind.

Seeing Dots

Today I have some dots for Jen's Digi Stamps Challenge -show us your Polka Dots.  Today the snow is falling and so I can relate to this wonderful digi.  Warm enough to go without a coat, but still needing your boots.  Yesterday the kids and I were out catching snowflakes with our tongues! Such a wonderful moment when you feel a snowflake land and melt on your tongue! Such a fun memory with the kids.
I added a bit of sparkle to the snowflakes and the green distressed border.  When the sun catches the frost for the first time in the morning, it's like a world of diamonds.

New Home

Today I have a card that I've made for a new family that we've met who just moved to town.  I found this wonderful home at Broken Box Stock.  (They have so many amazing stamps there, be sure to go check it out!)  I coloured the image with pencil crayons and baby oil, then matted it on some Stampin' Up cardstock and distressed the edges.  I layered it on some great papers from New Seasons.  I added a sparkly green ribbon and tied it in a bow!  For a finishing touch, I added a computer generated sentiment. I hope they feel welcome.   I am entering this card in Scrapbook Sisters - Anything goes challenge.
