We Will Never Forget...9/11

Today marks the 7th anniversary of the tragic events that happened on 9/11. Today it still affects me, how I view the world, and how I feel about the brave men and woman that risk their lives everyday to help protect the freedoms I have. I made the card above tonight with Melanie's new set called Just So Sporty. I first stamped the image in whisper white, then stamped the image again on Real Red, I cut out the arms and hood section, and layered it on the whisper white image. The "USA" was created with multiple word stamps from the set (I inked each letter separately). God bless our troops wishing them all a safe trip home back to the USA.

Feeling Like Fall

It's starting to feel more like fall around here, some of the trees are starting to change color, college football Saturdays are in full swing, and actually this is my favorite time of the year. I love crisp mornings when I need a light jacket. So I played with Whimsical Autumn again tonight and this is what I came up with. I love these images because they are so good for coloring. I used my Prismacolor Premier Markers this time. The squirrel was cut out and popped up with dimensionals. I also used one of my new CB embossing folders for this card.

WSC56 - Beate's Sketch

So I have been a busy stamper today.....This is for Beate's weekend sketch challenge, The base of the card is a sheet of 6X12 Real Red Card Stock Folded in half. The image is from Sandy Claws Gina K. It's actually a full penguin, so I cropped it into a square. The DSP and the Red stripe down the side is from the Stampin Up "I Wish" Scrappin Kit. 

Off to visit family for awhile!
