It's so cold lately that I'd better post my fall cards before the snow comes! =)

This card uses a retired set from CTMH (Poster Tidings). I added leaf borders (Martha Stewart/EK Success) on both sides and adhered on my patterned card with foam tape.
Have a nice day!

My sons are sick...so, consequently, I'm sick...been feeling under the weather for almost a week now... =(
But my kids don't really care that they are sick, so my son N and I made this 3-D Pumpkin on Sunday...our first Cricut project!!! =)
I bought the Cricut Expression 2 a couple of weeks ago, but hadn't have the time to play with it...until 2 days ago! This project was just a test...I was playing with the Cricut Craft Room.


My son N helped me glue the pieces together. And now that I look at it, I should have used a solid color paper on the inside...oh, well! I just grabbed the first papers I saw...

P.S. I should have bought the Cricut a long time ago...but I was happy with my Slice!
But I'm glad I waited, 'cause I bought it on clearance at Hobby Lobby at a very good price! =)

I stamped the same leaf image (all images by Inkadinkado) various times on the right side of the card using ink pads in Red, Yellow and Orange. Then, added the sentiment in brown and some sequins.
That simple! 'Cause I have to create 10 cards for the class! So they have to be CAS and fast! =)

I'm entering this cards in the following challenge (my third card...I think I never entered so many cards in one single challenge before!)



...at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge (Use a Rubber or a Clear Stamp) and A Paperie Journey (One-Layer Wednesday 161-Show Me Your Colors).

I was watching my son N play with my mini square ink pads the other day and I "learned" a technique from him! It's a direct-to-paper technique...nothing new, but it was the way he did it! =)
He was taking the mini ink pads and tapping them directly on paper ("kinda" of violently, I must say...), leaving these little squares with distressed colors.

So, I stamped a pumpkin (Paper Inspirations) in brown first. Then, I did the squares on each side with Red, Orange and Yellow (not so violently...):


Finally, I stamped another pumpkin, cut it out, used the mini ink pads to color it and adhered it on top of the first pumpkin.

I made this accordion album for my cousin, who has a baby daughter...




You might be asking "where is the front cover?"...
I'm asking the same question here...I guess I forgot to take a picture of the front cover...
Oh, well!!!
I would have to travel half the world to get that picture taken! Maybe one of these days I'll go visit my cousin...

Have a nice day!
