Fall Breeze, Autumn Leaves card

I love the sound of leaves gently blowing down the street on a warm Autumn day.  I've never been into jumping into a pile of leaves because they end up in places they shouldn't and you end up raking them back up but they are pretty to watch gently falling off the trees, especially into someone else's yard.

Harvest Blessings card

It's that time of year that you harvest your crops and are thankful for all that you have.  And football but that's another card.  These cute kittens are gathered around the cornstalks and pumpkins.  This is a great card for someone to thank them perhaps for sharing their harvest or Thanksgiving dinner.

Snowcat Winter card

If I'd venture out for more than what I need to on a winter day, I'd make a snowcat instead of a snowman.  This was a fun little card to work on.  I did shading on the scarf and a light blue shading on the snowcat.

Hope You're Feline Better Soon card

Snowman Shake His Booty Wobble card

This cheerful guy is ready to celebrate the season and shake his jingle bells.  This card has a wobble so just a flick of the finger and he's in motion.  I had a lot of fun with this card.  I pieced in the red jacket and scarf with paper that I added shadows on with copics.

This card makes me laugh.  Love this lady and plan to use her without the antlers on a few cards too.  Two different companies were used for the diecuts but they match up pretty well.  The hardest part was fussy cutting the antlers.

Happy Halloween Cat card

Nice Nurse Get Well card

Talk about motivation to get better...this is meant just as a joke though.  Nurses are overworked and underpaid so they have all of my respect for the job that they do.  She was fun to color and hopefully she'll brighten someone's day.
