Sp, without further adieu, here's my Fall colors. 

One of my sweetest friends asked me to make a card to congratulate her brother on getting engaged! She sent me a photo of the couple and I modified the stamped image (Let's Celebrate) a tad to fit the subjects.  He is well known for his super full goatee and she has amazingly beautiful chocolate colored hair.  I had a lot of fun color these two up and dressing them in soft fall colors for their engagement.

Happy Fall Y'all

Ok, so it's hop day.  By now you are in awe of all the serious cuteness that has happened this week, and perhaps you have already scooped some of them up to be your very own.  I'm here to show you one last project for the week so make sure you don't miss out on anything! he he he

I decided to use Happy Fall Y'all again to make another super "fall" feeling card!  Here she is:

This paper is from Echo Park and I thought it would just be perfect for a fall themed card.  I used a couple of black and gray circles to accent the image and colored her in orange and yellow for the season.  I also used these felt pumpkins from Martha Stewart Crafts to add a little fun to the card as well. I used twine on the sentiment to make it look like she was holding a sign! Super fun.

I hope you all have had a fun week with us, don't forget to hop around the blogs today and check out all of the Fall goodness that the DT and GDT members have created for you! Tootles! 

You're a Hoot

So, back for more Eh? Well, welcome to day three of Krafty releases from KKS! Today we are featuring this adorable little set of super cute owls called "You're a Hoot!" Just check them out....

Here's my creation with these little cuties:

and a closeup:

 

I simply took a craft tag and tied some twine on it, then I stamped and colored my image and fussy cut it out...I adhered it to the tag and did the same with the sentiment, done and done! Super quick and super simple, and SUPER cute! 

I think that this will make a super cute teacher's gift for back to school! I hope that my son's teacher just loves it. 

Ok so you know the drill by now, hop around to all the blogs listed below and then don't forget to go to the release party on Facebook! I'll see ya all there! Tootles! 

Who's ready for a release?

Oh yeah, it's release week baby!  Fall is in the air (well not really, not in Idaho at least, it's hotter than heck and totally still summer) and it's my favorite season.  I love fall because I get to enjoy the cool mornings and the warm afternoons, I get to drink coffee all day (yeah I know, I do that anyways, hush) and I have a birthday in the fall, and i get to start getting ready for Christmas!  All good things!

This release has all the good stuff about fall and you'll see over the next few days that it's all just too cute!  Here's the very first set... ready?????

Aptly named, this set is called "Happy Fall Y'all" and features a sweet little girl and all of her favorite fall things.

To make this card I started with some distress inks and a dampened sponge. I swirled the sponge on the paper after dabbing it in the ink to make that gradient background.  After letting it dry I used the pumpkin stamp from the set and stamped it all over to make the background.  I used the same sponge to add a little bit of ink to the wooden leaves as well. then I distressed the edges of the paper and glued them all in place. It was quite simple and lots of fun to make. 

Well, that's it for day one, I hope that you love this set, I'll catch ya back here tomorrow for some more release week goodness!! Don't forget to hop around to all the the DT and GDT blogs all week because one lucky commenter will receive a sweet prize at the release party on Facebook. Tootles!
