Celebrate Fall

Hello Tuesday folks.
Today it's about time to celebrate fall.  In Florida we love to celebrate fall cause that means we made it through another summer.  Actually you really wouldn't know it yet as the temperature is still in the high 80s and low 90s.  HUMID.  But if the calendar is almost at October then cooler, less humid weather is not too far away.  While all you folks up north are putting your gardens to sleep, we are getting ready to plant tomatoes and peppers.  There are some great things about this climate. 
Anyway, today's card is my celebration of fall.  I will be entering this is a couple of challenges
Celebrate the Occaision.........use ribbon
Fantabulous Cricut...............Use leaves
I am please with the way this came out.  What do you think?

Here is the video with measurements


Don't forget to check back Thursday for episode 2 of Ready Set Go for Charismas
That's all for now. See you later................play nice

Halloween Card Using Colorcore Cardstock

Hi Everyone
Today's video is a Halloween card using a special cardstock pak that my daughter-in-law sent me last year. As I mentioned yesterday, I don't send too many Halloween cards out but I just had to make this for Kerry,
Thanks and make sure you check out Pat Katans (sp?) if you are in the Cleveland Ohio area.


 

Thank you card

Hi everyone.
Just a short post today to show you a thank you card that I will enter in Emma's throwback Thursday Challenge.  Black, Green, Orange and Purple. Card must also be cricutless.  Those colors lend themselves obviously to Halloween, but I don't need many Halloween cards.  I still have some left from last year's stash.  On the other hand Thank you cards are always in demand.  This beautiful purple paper is a scrap from DCWF Colorful Life.  The rest is recollections or stash.
Hope you like it.

Thanks
See you tomorrow with another video.  (Battery is charging)...........play nice.
