 Happy FALL morning to you!!  The mornings are so nice and cool now, the leaves are starting to turn beautiful colors and the Holidays are just around the corner.  Only 80 days of shopping left before Christmas day....LOL  Boy we better get busy.
What beautiful paper this is!!!  The paper speaks for itself!
Not sure where I got this paper.  I think it was at Michael's in their
single sheet racks last year.

I stamped and cut out the two leaves from a CTMH fall stamp set
along with the THANKS.  I attached the ribbon and flower and
the card was done.   

I wanted to share my Marigold flowers with you.  They surround my
 back patio.  We so enjoy sitting out there drinking coffee and enjoy
our afternoons. 

The colors in person are so bright and beautiful. They have really grown
this year.   They have taken over all my other flowers.  You can only see
 the top of my garden statue sticking out of  the flowers.  
Have a Fabulous weekend filled with bright and beautiful colors!!!

Here is a card I made for my Grandma's birthday.   We took my Grandma out to lunch to celebrate her birthday yesterday.  She will be 88 years young on Friday.  

This is the same card I made before that said "Mother" on it.
 I knew she would like this card and she did.

Singing Happy Birthday to Grandma.
She is just such a beautiful lady!

My Grandma needle points dish towels, pillow cases and table runners.
Here are a few of things she has done lately.
Puppies and fruit.

I hope to be as happy, healthy and beautiful as my Grandma is at her age.  Enjoy your day!! Thanks for stopping by!

Yesterday I had a class using the Workshop on the go Flirty kit.  I also made some Halloween kits for the ladies to put together.  Like always we had good food, coffee, talking and laughing.  
This is a 2-4-6-8 box.
  It's a 51/2  X  81/2 CS scored at 2, 4, 6, & 8.
The witches hat is a Sizzix die cut.  We used the
Martha Stewart punch for the Pumpkin face.


Items that went into the box

We made these pixie sticks using the scallop and round punches.
Using stamps and punches we decorated them for Halloween 

So finally this is the card we made using the Flirty Kit.
The paper in this kit is just gorgeous!  It comes with
Raspberry, Yellow, Goldrush and England Ivy.
The pattern paper has double-sided designs on it.

I used the the new embossing folder from SU and just look how the
pattern matches the pattern paper in the kit. 

This is the Pumpkin card.  We used the Stamp of the Month (Aug) to
stamp the pumpkins, then color them using the Prismacolor markers.

Close up of the pumpkins.  The border above the pumpkins is from the
Flitery kit. Each pattern paper comes with a boarder you can cut off
or use as is.  

Inside of the card

We used our double sided tape (our glue guns) then added
glitter to make it really sparkle.

One year in my Church bulletin this article was printed about how a co-worker
was asked what it was like being a Christian.  Caught off guard,
she didn't know how to respond.  A jack-o-lantern on the co-workers
 desk caught her eye and the answer came to her.  I decided to use
the article and make this card.

These are a few of the pumpkins made by Illiana for her children.
They came out really cute.  I just know the kids are going to be so excited. 

Thank you ladies for coming to the Flirty workshop.  I am blessed to have you in my home and enjoy your company!!  I hope I have inspired you all to come inside and be something new and bright.  Hugs and Kisses!

Here is a Fall owl card made using the Flirty Workshop on the Go kit from CTMH.
This kit has some great Fall colors.
I stamped the branch onto the pattern paper and assembled
the Owl.  I stamped the "Gratitude" and used foam adhesive
to attach the owl and the "Gratitude" to make them really pop. 

Close up of the Owl.  She was made using the SU punch.

I really like this branch stamp.  You could use it at Christmas time
 and add holly berries to it or flowers etc. 
 Today I am having a Workshop/Class using the Flirty Workshop on the Go Kit.  Stop by tomorrow to see what the workshop was all about.  Owl....be seeing you tomorrow!!

 Happy October 1st to you!!  Hope you had a good weekend.  I love the Fall season so this week most of my cards will be in fall colors.  Today's card is another scarecrow card using the CTMH stamp of the month.

I stamped, colored and cut out the scarecrow on this card.
I stamped the pumpkins and the Sunflowers (SU stamp)
 The THANKS is the CTMH "Many Thanks" set.
I used the Primacolor markers to color this card. 
Be a Pumpkin this week and shine your light on everyone you meet.  God Bless.  Have a super great week!
