Here's my Lawn Fawn creation
Here's my Fall fun for a friend's Oct.
birthday. Lawn Fawn always has all 
I need. I just got the leaf border
and love it. I used daubers to add color
to a strip of white cardstock then used
the diecut for the leaves. Then I stamped 
the little scarecrow and colored it with 
my Copics. I made his shirt a kind of plaid. 
Copics were coordinated to match the colors
on the leaves. The large pumpkin was
stamped directly on my card front
and Copics were used again. I colored
and cut out the little pumpkin and crow.
A random Happy Birthday from a LF
set was used to make my banner. Edges
were sponged with ink and a pop dot
was used to raise it, the crow, little 
pumpkin and scarecrow.
For the inside I found a misc. sentiment
and added some of the left over leaves.

A brand new challenge over at PIP Challenges.
This week's sponsor is 
If you haven't checked out SheepSki Designs
new blog site, be sure to go now and visit
Sheepski Designs. There so many awesome
digital images! So much fun and so very
reasonable too! PIP appreciates the support!
Sadly, I was unable to create a card this
week...I can't even give a good reason. I 
love creating with Sheepski Designs so I
missed out with the challenge but I do have
some birthdays coming up and I think
create something with this beauty!
It's been a great image for many reasons.
I like stamping a sentiment right 
on the ribbon sash.

It's always fun getting to find new stuff
and a great sponsor as well! YAY!
Go shop at Sunbird Spark for some 
awesome new stuff! I know I did! lol!
They've added plenty as well! 
Here's my card for the challenge...
As always, I had fun "playing" with
my Sunbird Spark goodies. This was 
a great digi for a "Crafty Friend." I searched
the web and found a wonderful background
image to print for my card. I colored 
the images with Copic markers and then
fussy cut them out. I was going to use my
Scan n Cut machine but I decided to 
go old school. LOL! I did personalize 
the image...😀😀😀
Mounting tape was used to lift up
the sentiment and "me." LOL!
This was an easy, but fun card.
Coloring is a tad time consuming but
I DO LOVE TO COLOR!!
Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see
your entries in the Current Challenge.

Here's my card...  
For some reason I love cacti 
and Pattie's Creations image was so
cute. I fussy cut it out and colored it
with my Copics. I had some digi black
and I added the PNG sentiment in white.
I found the sentiment online. A banner
die cut was used then I raised it, and 
the image, up with mounting tape. 
I printed the inside on white and colored
it with my Copics. The background paper
was a cactus digi I had on hand.
Easy peasy!
