It has been a good day! I am still off work since my hospitalization in October but I am not complaining! Love my Boss and she suggested that I could use another two weeks to get stronger! That is really a GREAT Boss! :D The sun is shining and yet there is a crisp touch of Fall in the air! It has been wonderful to spend time watching the beautiful color changes around me!
And speaking of Fall - I want to share my Fall DT card I created for The Outlawz: Twisted Thursday. As you may know - it is always "Anything Goes" but for those who want to try the challenge twist - it is to make a "Fall" themed card. If you participate in the twist - your name will go in the challenge twice! That means - more chances to win!

Tip for the Day:
I like to purchase exra white or ivory embellishments and then use alcohol ink or spray mists to add a touch of color that will coordinate with my focal image. That way - I need fewer varieties of colored embellishments and can spend more of other fun crafting goodies!
I am linking my card to the following wonderful challenges:
- Make It Monday - Anything Goes
- Through The Craftroom Door - Anything Goes
- The Outlawz: Twisted Thursday: Anything Goes (twist optional: Fall Theme)
That's all for today and thank you for stopping by.
Hugs, Marie
Marie, Beautiful as usual. I think you used brown on your pumpkins and it looks fabulous. I do that on my pumpkins, but can't get it to show in my pictures. boohoo. Your background is just phenomenal. Love the little dots of color and your squiggly lines. Thanks for the great tip on flowers/embellishments. That could save a lot of money. Isn't it so nice to work for such nice people? I also love my boss, well he is my boss when I work that is. (retired, but fill in when people are out) LOL. Please tell your boss for me that she is a good person, but her loss is our gain because we get to see more of your cards. YAY! Enjoy your weekend but get enough rest also.
