What is your favorite thing to do when you are bored? I was a little bored Friday night..... Charlie had been gone all day recruiting and was going to a high school football game that night. So, somehow I ended up downstairs thinking about creating something....... And that something was a few cards. Usually when I make cards, I don't have a sketch in mind. Whether I am scrapbooking or cardmaking, I just pick out papers to fit my mood and let the creative process go from there.
On Friday the weather was chilly & the sun hadn't been out all day. With this definite change in the weather, I surmised that summer was over and fall was officially here. So I found myself drawn to papers with colors of brown ,tan, gold, and orange which made me think of autumn. I love autumn, but then I had to imagine what kind of card could I make with a fall theme. Well, I not so sure how I ended up here; but, I ended up making Thanksgiving Cards.
To make the cards I used papers from SEI and these cool Cavallini Birds and Nest Stamp Set that I have had for quite a while:
I like that the set has a variety of bird images. It seems like I have been obssessed with birds since last Christmas. My holiday card last year actually featured a bird. So, Friday night I was once again led to birds in my fall holiday theme.
There are two different stamps used on this card.
A little topiary. And finally this one:
I think this stamp is my favorite of the set.
I also made this card with this stamp from Daisy Buckets & new papers from My Minds Eye. The flower embellishment is from Making Memories and the heart from Lil Davis Designs.
So, that is my night of cardmaking. My little cards inperfections and all. All made in about one hour.
Well, that's all for now.......I have to clean up my house because my cleaning lady is coming tommorrow and I don't want to be embarassed by a messy house! Lol!
