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.

...I'm doing nothing
Inside: But in my head I'm quite busy!

Don't like to do 2 postings on any given day, but tomorrow is the last day to enter the QKR Challenge #130 : Stitching  (With my luck, I'll forget to enter tomorrow....that has happened before...haha)

I used the grasshopper from QKR stamps to help create the easel card.  Stitching is around the main image.  Grass and cat tail dies were added elements.

pop-ups on grass for dimension, brad for fold hold

Your thoughtfulness was TEA-rrific 2nd posting

My neighbors brought over a pan of lasagna while I was sick.  I couldn't eat it, but it allowed my DH not to starve.  Since I wanted to do a thank you card and a card for QKR challenge, I decided to merge the two together.

I used digi 11407 Hello from QKR Stampede. I using it in their Challenge #128: circles.  I bought the Tea Easel card cut file from My Scrap Chick for $1.  It comes with 4 different patterns.

5x5, copics, tea charm, ribbon, silk flower, it has a pocket on top for a tea bag

3 Challenges - The Latest Dirt and Nutz for Baseball - Easel Card

My theme..."The Latest Dirt"...because I love a little fun gossip every now and then...hehe  If you follow my blog enough, then you know I have a bad habit of using a lot of puns...that's my "take" on "happy" cards.  Sketch Saturday by Meljen's Design's sponsored this wonderful little challenge on Saturday.  The challenge: use the template below and one of her adorable digi stamps...so many are free.  I made a simple dog bone svg which will be my freebie for today. I applied pop-ups,  copic markers and inking for depth.  (5"x5" card per template directions.)

(This is the spitting image of our grand-dog "Jackson".)

The next challenge was to use any image.  This is a digi stamp I made.  It's baseball season, so I thought this would fit right in with the challenge. 

The last challenge was to do an "Easel Card".  It is for challenge #17 for Meljen's Design's Thursday Challenge and it is my very first easel card.  I really like the concept and will be doing more of these.
