Now my card for Day 4
For this card I first picked out my designer
paper and cut it at an angle and attached it to a
piece of white cardstock, leaving a space between
the two so I could stamp my sentiment, 3x, through
the space. I added some ribbon and bow along
edge of the lower piece of designer paper. Then
layered it all on a matching rose colored 
cardstock and then onto the main white card.
I used the stamp set Dogwood Blossoms from MFP.

Enjoy the Hop. Come back each day to be

Now my card for Day 3
This was a fun card to create. I found my cute little turkey
and decided that I needed to paper piece him. I did color
his hat, feet and beak area with Copics. I cut him out and
set him aside until I made my hills, sponging the edges 
with brown ink. I was trying to decide what to do 
with the sky when I found the leafy designer paper. 
I thought that the sky around my house looks like that 
a lot in the Fall. :-) I used a word bubble die cut for the 
Thankful sentiment and added the main sentiment right 
to the "hill". lol THANKS for stopping by! 
I used the stamp set I Am Thankful from MFP.

Now my card for Day 2
Any card that requires my coloring "skills", and I use
that term loosely, it takes me lots of time. This rose
was no exception. I fussy cut it out and raised it up
on my pink checked designer paper, after I added
my sparkly green (yes, it's green) ribbon. I just
added my sentiment to the lower corner and that was it!
I used the stamp set ROSES from MFP.

Here's my card for DAY 1
My card was obviously a very simple one but
I really like how it turned out. I stamped the 
sentiment 3 times, in different colors, stamping
off once each. Then, the main image stamped in 
black. A bit of layering and done. 
I used the stamp set Autumn Glory 
and Classic Dad by MFP.

cutest Halloween stamps set ever,
"What A Scream"


Here is my card for DAY 3!
I ran half of my white cardstock through a 
wood-like embossing folder and sponged a 
brown ink over the embossed portion. I then
masked a circle for my moon and used daubers to
sponge some yellow and navy inks to create my
sky. I took up my mask and sponged more 
yellow to make my moon complete. I stamped
and colored my kitty and cut it out. I took a 
thin strip of black paper and glued it to the top
of the fence. I added a twine bow and attached
the cat using mounting tape to raise it up for
added dimension.  Stamping a few Boos were 
the finishing touches. I got my layers together
and Boom, finished!
