This is one of the fun cards I have available in Card Buffet this week. It’s timely, too, as the Buckeyes will open their season this Saturday – a sure sign of fall in the Midwest! The buckeyes are made with the 2 1/2″ circle punch and the retired wide oval … Continue reading

Swirly Scribbles Pumpkin
I used two of the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits to create this pumpkin. My stem and leaf are from the retired “Apple of My Eye”, and the greeting is from a retired Hostess set. You can substitute easily for those items, and if you don’t have any of last year’s Black … Continue reading
Fall Faves from Last Year
Two of my favorite things from the 2015 Holiday Catalog are back in this year’s Annual Catalog – the stamp set “Acorny Thank You” and the Woodlands Textured Impression Embossing Folder.

Sometimes it’s hard to see past the designer paper that carries the exact colors of a challenge. That’s how it was for me this week – I couldn’t resist the Foxy Suite for its paper. See? I wasn’t kidding about that – used it for the whole card front! The … Continue reading
