Happy Monday!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend,  I did. Not much stamping or blogging, but a very nice relaxing weekend.  so last week I hinted at some exciting news.  I was selected to be on the design team for The Cuttlebug Spot!!!  I am over the top excited, and just what I needed to Kick start my creativity again.  Over in the sidebar I have linked to the whole team.  You really should stop by and visit their blogs as they are full of beautiful eye candy!!!  I am so honored to be apart of a team with so much amazing talent. I start next Monday so make sure to come by and check out the challenge.

Now for a card I made toady for my Dad's birthday later this week.

I also made this for the color challenge that is now over on StampTV.  The colors were brown, green, red and ivory.  I also gave a try to a new technique called distressed stripes. Gina did a video on StampTV last week.  You can view it here.  It is late as I am typing this and need to get to bed.  I hope you have a fabulous week.  Thank you for stopping by.

Fall Memories GKD Challenge

Today I am sharing a couple of cards I made for Gina's Challenge to make a card inspired by a favorite Fall memory.  My First card is inspired  by one of my favorite trips to the pumpkin patch.  My son was getting close to not wanting to go to the patch with his parents anymore when the patch we would take him to added a Corn Maze.  We had so much fun that the next weekend when my Mom was visiting that we went back this time at night. There were four of us my DH, DS , my mom and myself. We decided that it would be fun to pair up boys against girls and race to the finish.  It was some of the most fun I have every had. We raced through the maze hiding on occasion to scare each other.  I wasn't the most successful as I kept getting a case of the giggles. Here is my card inspired by that fond memory.

Now considering that I was married in October I couldn't pass up that wonderful and happy memory, so I made a card for my hubby.

I rarely make CAS cards, but I have the base on my desk from a rejected card from a few days ago and decided to see if I could make something of it.  I wasn't sure how copics would color on kraft, but they did fine.  I like how the green leaves of the tree came out.  Over all I don't care that much for how it turned out, but we can't love them all can we.
