Brittany Bundled Up For Fall

Happy Wednesday!!! Don't know how the weather is in your area but Pittsburgh has had a pretty good weather week thus far with no rain and sunshine!!! Love the sunshine!! I also got busy today and can feel it that I shouldn't have done some of what I had done --- I got my craft area cleaned and my sewing machine and embroidery machine have been found!!! Amazing how things get buried and lost admidst the clutter!!


My favorite season is fall!!! I love the colors and the smells along with the crunch of the leaves!!! Still a kid at heart that would still dive into the leaves after they are raked!!!


My project for you today is a digi stamp that I had purchased from Simply Betty's stamps. This stamp is Brittany Bundled up for Fall!! I love Brittany's look - that punk Gothic look! I made a card with using my brown cardstock as the base of the card with my fall cardstock with a pumpkin on the corner. I used a piece of scrap paper that I had used a Martha Stewart border punch for adding a little bit of texture on top of the card! For the most fabulous part of the card is the little flower that was crocheted by a dear friend, Janet Smith from  http://ladyluvbug.blogspot.com. She is a fabulous designer also and I would appreciate you stopping by and giving her some bloggie love!! On the inside I used two rubber stamps that I got off the $1 table at JoAnn Fabrics! I love good deals!
Well, enough of me just rambling -- time to display my card for you to see and please let me know what you think of my card!!






Thanks for stopping by and hope you like my card. I will be submitting this to a digi challenge at http://www.thescrapbookingqueen-challenge.blogspot.com/ at The Queen's Royal Digi Challenge #2 along with The ABC Challenge at http://abc-challenge.blogspot.com/ with this month being "C" is for Crocheted Flower -- thank you again Janet for my flowers!

God Bless
Hugs and Love

All Things Tim Burton Blog Hop Day One


Boys and girls of every age, wouldn't you like to see something strange?  If you're a Tim Burton fan, you will recognize that line from "This is Halloween" -- a well-known song from the movie  "The Nightmare Before Christmas".  With Halloween just around the corner, this is the perfect time to celebrate all things Tim Burton!  We have a talented group of ladies on this weekend blog hop.  Join us as we each share a project inspired by one of Tim's quirky characters!  

If you've just come from Tami's blog, you are right where you should be !  If you haven't but would like to start from the beginning, go to Dena's blog :  http://missdjones.blogspot.com/.  We would like to thank Karber Digital Images for sponsoring this blog hop.  Karber is giving away two digital stamps to one lucky person who comments during the blog hop.

*** The winner will be announced no later than Wednesday, October 26th.  

Now, on to the project I would like to share with you for Day One:

I did a card for you using Jack Skellington from Simply Betty Stamps. With Tim Burton's movies, there were always trees that almost came to life -- I used the haunted tree with the moon using Cricut cartridge Happy Hauntings cut at 4.75 inches. And if you know me, my most favorite cartridge is A Child's Year as I love the card shapes that are available. The card from Ghost and Goblins Stack was cut using A Child's Year using the paper from  with the inside statement as a quote from Jack Skellington The Nightmare Before Christmas. "Just because I cannot see it, doesn't mean I can't believe it!"



Please be sure to hop on over to Berenice's blog next for more Tim Burton fun!  If you get lost along the way, the complete blog hop lineup is below.  Thanks for stopping by !
