Friday was Ethan's (our youngest grandson) birthday. The family time wasn't until Saturday though. He wanted to go to Smokey Bones for dinner. I think its a good place for ribs. Which is exactly what I had. Then we went back to my son & daughter-in-laws home for ice cream cake. That was yummy as well.
Sunday afternoon we went to his football game. He is on the 5th-6th grade team. It started off in the rain but eventually it stopped and the sun came out. They won 36-6. We spent Sunday evening at home watching Anne of Green Gables.
Now here it is Monday and the first day of October. It's also time for another monthly challenge at the Great Impressions Stamp Blog. This month the theme is fall or halloween.
I chose the fall theme and used the too cute pumpkin stamp E551. I colored the image with prismacolor pencils and gamsol.
I used a Spellbinders oval die and sponged in the background before removing it from the die. I cut a floral oval die in tangerine tango. On my vanilla background, I used the Cuttlebug pumpkin harvest embossing folder.
I added some tangerine tango ribbon. I computer generated the sentiment and cut it out with a Spellbinder lacy oval die. That completed this card.
Hope you can play along with us this month. There is a prize to be won and then the honor of being a top pix as well.
