Autumn Blessings

I'm sharing my next card for the Practical Scrappers card contest.  I was lucky enough to be able to move on to Round 2 because of all of you who voted!  THANK YOU so much!  The voting is the same as last week.  You can vote for 3 cards and vote DAILY!  **Voting for the week ends Oct. 13 at 11:59 CST**

Lots of PTI goodies on here as well as some yummy pattern paper from MME!  If you can believe it, the thing that took me the most time on my card wasn't all the stitching but that bow!  I knew I didn't want a scrunchy bow so I took my Chi flat iron to my seam binding and........whala!  A flat ribbon.  The rules for this round of cards had to be a Fall card using twine.  So I worked my button twine in there with my bow.  I think it really stands out over the deep terracotta colored bow.

My card did have the help of the Mojo Monday sketch for the week.  Love this sketch!  Alright, keeping it short today so the only other thing I ask is for your VOTE!  Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

Color Cue {8} Challenge

It's time for another Color Cue Challenge....this one using some fantastic colors!

I pulled out my new Wreath for all Seasons set from PTI.  This set is fantastic....it lends itself

to soo many possibilities for every season.  I decided to use it as a Christmas wreath and

get one of my Christmas cards out of the way!



I have to give a "shout out" to my good friend Jen, at Jen's Ink Spot,  for the inspiration for the "berries" on

my card.  She was chosen as one of the Wplus9 Color Cue "picks" last time around

for her fabulous tree card that she did knots on.  Check it out here...one beautiful card!

Do you know how long it's been since I'd done French Knots? 

Forever......Like 25 years ago forever.  I can still remember my Grandma

teaching me this when I was younger.  I will be sure to use this on my cardmaking again soon!

I'd forgotten how fun it is to do!

This also fits the challenge:  Jolly Holiday Greetings Challenge in the Moxie Fab World.

Why don't you come try this challenge out too?  When you do, make sure and link up!

As always, thanks so much for taking time to leave comments!  They are so fun to read!

Have a beautiful day!
