It's Fall Y'all
Brandy used her Cricut and some cut files to create this beautiful stitched pumpkin for a few of her favorite people. I just happen to be one of them, so this pretty think is sitting on my desk and it greets me every morning, reminding me it's fall (since it is still in the high 90s here in Arizona!).
I'm going to enter this card in the Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge Simon Says Fall/Autumn

A Happy Fall Wreath- Sister Time
Brandy recently had to take a trip to the East Coast for business. She got a chance to stop by Niagra Falls at night. Forgive the photo- it's nighttime using a cell camera. Still, if you are going to be out of town for more than a week for business there should be some benefit.
Most of the flowers are tied on with floral wire and a little hot glue.
I just love the sunflowers, but the chrysanthemum was utterly inspired. The satin edged ribbon adds just the right amount of contrast and interest on the bare twig wreath.
Let this fall craftiness inspire you. Crafting together is one of the hallmarks of our blog here at Contagiously Crafty. Brandy and I will join one of her co-workers this morning at Embellish It's Play All Day here in Mesa, Arizona. We will be craftin' fools from 9 am to 9 pm with a stopover for a layout class and a card class. We are both planning to get our Christmas cards done today. Wish us pleasant crafting!

It's a Man's Birthday- 89th in fact!
My grandfather's birthday was earlier this month. Not just the dreaded Man Card, but an Old Man Card. He'd laugh to see me say that.
I was inspired by this Pinterest pin. I used my Cricut Straight From the Nest cart <leaves2> to cut out these leaves from some script printed papers in the stash. These are easily 5 years old if not older. A little Forest Most and Barn Door Distress Ink applied with an Ink Blending Tool around the edges finishes the leaves. The strip of paper on the left is glassine paper that I crumpled up and then opened up and placed on the kraft matted paper.
There's a bit more dimension with the glassine paper than the picture shows. The kraft mat paper is edged with some Barn Door Distress ink and the twine wound around before placing on the card. The inside had a simple Happy Birthday stamp.
Grandpa is 89 years old. He still objects to being called old. I'm old, so I think he can man up and own it himself. He'd laugh if he knew I said that.
Happy Birthday, Grandpa! I love you dearly.
