Simon Says ~ Monday Challenge

Hello paper crafting friends~ Just popping in to post this card to the Simon Says Monday Challenge, Witch Kraft. Since I'm not a big fan of the Halloween part of fall, I opted to just go with the Kraft paper. You can never go wrong with Kraft! I love this stuff!!
Here's my card:

I started with a kraft cardstock base and cut the orange panel out of bazzil using MFT Blueprints #13. The banner was cut using MFT Fishtail Flag Stax, which I then stenciled the checked pattern onto using Tim Holt Black Soot. The black fancy swirl is MFT's Sentimental Flourish with a Hybrid Camellia Flower and leaves cut with PTI's Rosie Posie. The sentiment is an oldie from Primitive Blessings. I don't even think they sell stamps anymore. Some fall colored sequins finish it off. This card is making me feel a little more ready for cooler temps and fall colors.
Thanks so much for looking! Blessings~ Birgit

PTI ~ End of the Day

Here's my craft table at the end of the day.

What a fun time I had going through the ages with all the PTI gals. I'm looking forward to creating more with all the super fun kits and spending some time going back through their posts to see everyone's creations. This was my first time joining in the the PTI Stamp-A-Faire and I will definitely do it again. Thanks so Nicole and all the fabulous design team for a well planned day full of fun and creativity! Hugs to you all~ Birgit

PTI ~ 1980's

Lexi Daly brought in the 1980's with such flair! She really captured some amazing things reminiscent of the 1980's. The Trapper Keeper was pure genius!

I might make a couple more of these to send to my nieces and nephews as they start school for the season. What fun! Thanks so much for looking! Blessings~ Birgit
