I couldn't Resist!

 I couldn't resist the Categories at Craft Roulette even though I have other
"stuff" I really do need to work on.

The Categories are:
Project: Dutch Door - I don't believe I've ever seen this fold
Colors: Bird Feeder - brown w/ Fall leaves
Element: October - Halloween
Random: Polka Dots - from paper inside envelopes

I cut the front of the card down to a little less than a third of the card to make a "Dutch Door" card.  I had made a card with some Halloween cups for later this month and immediately stamped and cut two out.  I found some leaves that I'd already die-cut out, but never colored.  I wanted something on the inside of the card and found a die I'd already colored for another card, but didn't like it for that card.  I think my card turned out to be so cute and want you to see all three pictures I took.

This is almost closed, but standing up on its own.

This card is partly open. Just a peek here of the inside.

This is the "inside" of the card.

October Sharing with The Creative Crafters

   The Creative  Crafters starts a monthly challenge every 15th of the month and I've used a lovely flower as inspiration for this month. 

This challenge is always "Anything Goes".  
Be sure to join The Creative  Crafters challenge! 

Here's something I put together at Paperganza this year. I was busy sitting together with my co-conspirator, Linda, here at Die Cut Divas, and 7 others at our table.  I screwed up the first time putting the pop up piece on the card.  You have to look at how they are attached on the ends so they can actually pop up.  Karen Burniston was fantastic in helping us put together our cards.

Card pieces were already die cut from Karen Burniston's Photo Fan Pop-up

Card Chain Challenge for September

I truly couldn't think of what to do from this selection, but as I pasted the options in, I discovered that I 

I just couldn't think of anything but "Friendship" and so I went with a friendship card. This card was not the card I intended to make, but I fell in love with it.  I die cut the larger dies twice so I could glue them together at the top to create a card.  I think the phrase is actually meant for the back of the card, but I thought it was too good not to make a note inside as I figure a card maker would find it funny.

If you can't read it, here's what the sentiment says:
I write
"made with love"
on my cards because "made with cursing

way too much money
and lots of alcohol" 

won't fit on the label.
