Reasons to Celebrate

I absolutely LOVE the digi set "Seasonal windows" from Beccy's Place. This Autumn image was printed off on kraft cardstock and colored with Tombow markers. I then cut the window panes out with an Exacto knife and mounted a scrap of acetate on the inside. Found a wonderful little free clip art fireplace scene that I lightly colored the mounted to my card with a scrap of thin vellum muting the colors a bit. Mounted the window on top of this to create a warm and inviting scene.  (The sentiment is also from the set.) Entering the card into a few challenges, including Victorines Original's which provides a photo inspiration/mood  board that shows the colors of the season including beautiful fall leaves.

The current CAS-ual Friday’s Challenge is to CASE a Girl Friday’s (DT) Card. My first CASE is a beautiful baby card made by Tasha. I loved the lush, layers of patterned paper and lacy lovelies. Tried to capture that on my card. The sweet image is a stamp that I’ve had for many years. I think it might be a retired image from Biblical Impressions.

This image I know is from Biblical Impressions. It was one of my mom’s favorite stamps and I think of her whenever I use it. She would have loved this card… because the little kitten is being naughty. (We had lots of naughty cats when I was growing up!)

Although the look on the kittens face is angelic, if you look closely you can see that his paws are purple.
