Thankful For You

Hello Blogger Friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with the Charmed Life Blog today. 

It was a rainy and cold day here in Pittsburgh. The leaves are starting to fall, and we have 2 huge oak trees in our front yard. So, my hubby will be busy for several weeks raking these leaves. He uses a leaf blower, so it makes it a bit easier. But then picking them up and bagging them is lots of work. 

Now onto my card for today. This one I created for the color challenge #1073 on Splitcoaststampers. Our colors were highland heather, granny apple green and pumpkin pie. Optional was a 4th color.

For my card I went with Thanksgiving and focused on the granny apple green color. I like using non-traditional colors for holiday cards. I think I pulled it off with my card. 

My scarecrow image is from Divinity Designs paper collection -"Scarecrow Paper Pad". It has the cutest scarecrow images.

This one has pumpkin pie in his scarf and neutral colors for his outfit. The sunflowers would be my option- the 4th color of yellow.

The background designer paper is from the Stampin' Up "painted harvest" collection. I created a frame and layered it over the dsp. Then I cut an arched die to showcase the scarecrow image.

The sentiment is stamped in highland heather. Added a few pumpkins and some sequins to complete my card.

Well that's it for me for this post. So until next time......God bless.
