And a Few More....

Hello!

I am back with a few more cards that I have managed to get made this weekend after a full on week at work and home.  Next week looks pretty busy too so I am glad that we have had a few days without too much to do....

First up is my card for CASology where the cue card is Flutter.  I immediately thought of leaves fluttering from the tree for autumn and was really pleased to find that the PTI Mighty Oak set has a sentiment with 'flutter' in it!


I love the woodgrain on the tree and the graphic patterns on the leaves - such a fun set!

I also wanted to play along with Merry Mondays to keep building my Christmas card supplies - I can't believe it is October next week :(  There is a fun bingo challenge this week and I went with red/die cut/sparkle:



I used a Hero Arts sentiment, SSS stars stencil and bell dies from Lil Inkers.  The central panel is cut with a Lawn Fawn stitched rectangle die which I am using on everything at the moment!  I will also link up at A2Z Scrapbooking's September challenge to make Fall or Christmas cards.  These HA sentiments are large enough to be the focal point of a card and I love the polka dot Jolly!

Oh, and course, I will link up with SSS Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes :)

I have a few more cards to photograph so I should be able to get a few more challenge entries in this week :)

Thanks, as ever, for stopping by and for your kind comments....

See you soon,

    They may look CAS, but these two cards sure packs a punch, Sarah! GREAT composition of your 1st card! I love your Christmas card with the embossed dies and details. Thanks so much for playing Simon Says Stamp Wednesday “Anything Goes” Challenge!

    Two more wonderful cards, Sarah. First autumn with it colorful leaves, and then Christmas with it's large sentiment and glittery bells.
