Tres calabazas

I started this pumpkin card before Halloween, and just wasn't able to finish it in time. I have very few precious moments in my craftroom as of late and stole a few minutes this afternoon to finish this one up. I decided it could work as a fall card, too. Do you ever have a hard time cutting into papers? I love some double sided patterned paper I have in my stash, but I love the other side too much to actually cut into it, yet. I had a lot of those papers pop up during this project. Maybe next time :) I'm linking this card up for the Unity Challenge this month.



Have a great weekend!!

A card for Play Date Cafe and Paper Issues

I found out that one of my cousins is starting chemotherapy this week. I made her a card to let her know I am thinking of her and to help her with positive thoughts. I hope that this will help her a little. Paper Issues is having a blog hop with my favorite stamp company Unity Stamp Company today. There were so many great projcts, full of inspiration. Stories of people passed on and people who have beat the disease. I so hope that a cure is found....SOON!!! I am linking this up to their challenge of Believe in Yourself and also to The Play Date Cafe with the color challenge of flame, mulberry, and grape. The Play Date Cafe is celebrating its 3rd anniversary. You still have time to play along with both challenges. Have a great week, everyone!!!

Good Sunday evening, all. Here is my entry for the Banner challenge. I just love this little onesie hanging on a line stamp.
