Bountiful Blessings Easel Card

First....Happy Birthday to my oldest son Bryan!
Second...mailed out my Fall cards!
Next....

I forgot to post this sweetie last week.  It is called Bountiful Blessings from Paper Creator.  It's Sassy Sally from the Sassy Cheryl collection.  It came pre-colored.  I didn't add too much for the image "says it all".  Do you remember hauling your picked pumpkin from the field and waiting to take it home to carve up?

Our challenge #53 continues at Paper Creator's Craft with theme: Anything Goes.  If you decide to purchase an image, please use "CELY" for a 20% off in the coupon code area.  I receive nothing, but it's just a gift to you.  Debbie has beautiful, fun, and playful images throughout the store for any occasion.  They come together quickly and I think 90% come pre-colored in the set.

I'm joining the fun Fall theme challenge #291 at Die Cuttin Diva's.

Summer Cottage at the beach

I grew up spending my summers at Pawley's Island, SC.  People called it plain and now it's considered "shabby chic" and a definite must be vacation spot....haha  Our house was on stilts, but a little farther inland the houses looked like the scene on my card with mostly sand in the front yard.  Ahhh...the sweet memories.  Someplace I would like to be this very minute.

Anyhooooo,  this is totally KittieKraft motif.  I just love her work and the inspiration she brings with her cards.  It's amazing what a few die cuts can create.  I sometimes draw/design my own svgs similar to the dies if I don't have a die...dies can get very costly.

I made my own svg awning and used pop ups for added dimension. I used Poppy Stamps fence and  window dies.  I made my own extra long flower box svg (also using pop-ups for dimension).  I used an old McGill fern stem punch for my flower stems and I used the stars out of an old American Girl star borders punch for my flowers. I used some old designer scissors from Michaels for the curtain edges and used a tree bark embossing folder to give the curtains the look of draping.  Many pop-ups where added to the windows, curtains and fence for extra dimension.  I need to go buy some more pop-ups...haha
