Bitten by the Bug 2

from the Heritage Cartridge we are using image #1---the cute "curly tree"

Autumn

8.5" x 4

long card

A10 size-i believe

the trees were cut at 3.5" and 3" using the shadow feature too.

this is the inside---just a piece of distressed paper to write your sentiment.

the border was made with a MS paper punch called "city escape" and the maple leaves are punched from a tiny punch from my stash.

here you can see how i used the border--

playing with saturation here---it almost look like art :)

have fun with the hop, enjoy it and enjoy the challenge. if you do not have this heritage cart, you can use any other tree.

i hope all of you are safe and no damage from Irene, the hurricane.

hugs to all and wish my boy the best in college. 

love you all!

you can also click on the banner below to go to the start of the hop.

I will have a small giveaway for the  "FIRST" follower/visitor who tells me what else i added to this border, besides the leaves and the word autumn, there is something i added to have a bit of fun here.

you can always click on the pics to zoom in.

GATEFOLD CARD CHALLENGE FOR THE CUTTLEBUG SPOT

hello all

i hope you guys had a great love day yesterday.

it was quite here, but nice.

------------

the cuttlebug spot challenge this week is making a gatefold card and this is my take on it

 --i still have no name for it-- :(

for now i will call it

Any Occasion Gatefold Card

6 x 7-3/4

pretty big in size- :)

i took a piece of 12 x 7-3/4 inch cardstock

--scored it at 3 and 9 inch--

and that was my gatefold card base.

i used dcwv songbird cardstock.

the gate and the lamp post are from the heritage cricut cartridge, the birds are from an ek mini punch and the grass is from create a critter.

the butterflies are from a martha stewart paper punch.

the clouds are also from create a critter.

on the above pic you see better the dry embossing on the clouds and if you click on the pic it will zoom for a better view.

i used my cuttlebug, of course, and a sizzix texture plate this time.

i had no idea what i wanted to make at all, but as always, all came together at the end,

and i think it turned out really pretty.

what do you think?
