365 Cards challenge Day 219 "candy corn"

I LOVE candy corn!!!  It's one of the first signs of Fall around our house, I can't wait to fill little bowls full of it and place them around.  My husband loves to use them for vampire teeth & cracks me up when he sneaks up on me with his "corny smile"   :>   So when I saw this fun challenge from Pam at 365 Cards I just had to jump in, I may even create a few more projects with this sweet theme!  My project is a gift bag, not a card, so I don't know if it counts for the challenge but I'm going to share it with you anyway.  I used a plain white gift bag w/handles, kraft cs, patterned papers from Paper Studio & Bo Bunny, some burlap ribbon that I've had so long I don't remember who made it, rickrack & ribbon & twine & a button from my stash.  The sentiment I did on the computer...yes, I know, it's very corny (sorry, I can't stop!!!)    I think this design could easily make a fun card...  I'm going to go hunt down some candy corn right now and maybe give it a try.  Have a great day & eat a little candy corn if you get a chance  :>

so blessed, everyday!

Hi everyone! I hope you had a great weekend with family & friends, enjoying your favorite activities  :>   Randy & I had a fun outing to the pumpkin farm, enjoyed some football (with chili, of course!), and decorated the porch & yard with more Halloween lights.  We really love decorating & lighting the house for the Fall & Winter holidays, it's so much fun...I think Randy enjoys it more than I do  LOL   Even though our teams didn't do so well this weekend there's just something about having the game on and enjoying something warm & cheesy  & delicious to eat while the weather is just a little chilly & breezy outside...ahhhh, it's a nice way to pass the time!
   I've also been enjoying my favorite thing this weekend and made a fun card with a Fall theme.  I used pre-made scalloped circles by yours truly (from Archivers), the patterened papers are from Bo Bunny & Lasting Impressions and a small scrap of cream cs from my stash.  I cut the big leaf with my cricut (wild cards, I think) and used  a small flower, leaf,  glitter brad & clip from MM.  The large flower is from Bazzill and the sentiment stamp is from Stampabilities.  I also added a little ribbon & twine from the stash.  I'm thinking of sending this to my Mom to give to her pastor who is leaving their church soon.  He & his family are so wonderful I know they will be greatly missed.
   I have a few more goodies I've been working on and will share them with all of you soon.  I hope you have a great week and a happy monday  :>

feelin' Fall-ish!

It's been a perfect chilly, breezy,  feelin' Fall-ish kind of weekend and I love it!  The porch is all decorated with cornstalks, haybales & plenty of pumpkins to welcome the season and hot soup is on the stove.  I've had the most fun gathering supplies for fun Fall cards & projects...some old, some new & some I love almost too much to use (does that ever happen to you???) LOL  I have a few projects to share today, the first is a card & gift tag made with some cool glitter paper from KI Memories...I love this colorful paper with just a touch of glitz :>  I also used a scrap of blue polka dot paper from my stash,  yellow Bo Bunny dotted & some brown also from my stash box.  The orange chipboard is Basics from HL, the mini alphas are Cosmo Cricket and the cute leaf brad is from Karen Foster.  The blue chipboard is some naked letters from Heidi Swapp that I painted & distressed.  I love the banners that are so popular right now so I decided to use the shape on my tag.  I used the same papers as I did on the card and added a little acorn diecut from K & CO.  The brown cording on the tag is something I saved from store packaging...I love re-using things that would otherwise be thrown out!

The next project is another is another card & tag set using a great Fall-ish paper from jillibean soup  :>  I also used cs from Bazzill & more Bo Bunny dots!  I love these easy rolled flowers and thought they would make a fun tree.  I also used a journaling spot from K & CO, mini alphas from Cosmo Cricket, twine, some OLD printed twill ribbon and some naked chipboard alphas that I inked & dotted.  The tag also has a flower & leaf & glittery brad from MM,  I really like the sentiment too!
   That's all for now...Randy & I are off to our favorite farm in Bright to pick up some tiny white & orange pumpkins and maybe take a leisurely drive around and take in the beautiful sights.  Have a great day,   delisa

Happy Fall, y'all !

Hi out there!  I've been neglecting my poor, little blog for the past few weeks  :(   But I've been busy doing autumn chores & cleaning...storing away summer items, getting ready for cooler weather.  Also was lucky enough to have a visit with my Mom & brother and a fun trip to the Country Living Fair in Columbus.  Oh yeah, and I decided to repaint the master bedroom too (it looks awesome, by the way)...busy, busy, busy!  We saw so many cool things & talented artists at the fair, it's totally got me into the Fall season; that and the millions of leaves in our yard & woods already LOL  So I've been dabbling in some fun Halloween-y & Fall cards & things and I have a few to share today.  The purple card uses a fun embossing folder & a stamp from the cheapie bin ($1) at Michael's that I've had for awhile, and I love this glittery, glitzy ribbon from MM.  The kraft card has a great pumpkin diecut made by my sweet friend, Sue Kohl and those tiny alpha stickers that I LOVE.  The little black card is made from scraps, from my shoebox full, with a little of that cool ribbon & a little foam bat sticker.  I love the Fall, it's so beautiful here in the midwest  :>  I hope you have a wonderful weekend & get out there and enjoy your favorite Fall things,  delisa
