Fall is here!

That's right crafting friends, our temps have dropped to the mid to upper 80's (30 - 32 deg C) :-)  That's Fall weather here in my neck of the woods :-) And as you know, I love it!

With the beginning of Fall, comes our newest challenge at Crafty Gals Corner which is Anything Fall Goes!

Our wonderful and very generous sponsors for this challenge are:

Fabrika Fantasy

Prize ~ 3 Digital Images

Pretty Graphic Design

Prize ~ 1 Image Pack

Kitty Bee Designs

Prize ~ 1 digital image

I actually have two DT projects to share with you today.

For my first card, I used the Fall Animals set and the Fall Papers set from Pretty Grafik Designs and made this sweet double lever card. I was so happy that I could incorporate most of the cute animals on this card. Take a look ...

Brown and green card stock are from GinaK.

White card stock that I used to print the images is Neenah Bright White

Fall patterned paper is from Fall Papers - Pretty Grafik Designs

And here is how the double lever card works. Isn't it cute? I love all the sweet Fall animals.

There are a number of various coordinating patterned papers in the Fall Papers set.

 A close up of the fox.

 A close up of the owl.

 And here is the squirrel.

 And last, but not least, the cute little raccoon.

 This pumpkin is also one of the many images found in the Fall Animals set. 

I put this on the back so that I can write my message without defacing the card.

 Just a quick pic to show you the back of the card.

And best of all, it all folds flat without too much bulk which makes it perfect for mailing.

Since I used a busy background paper, I didn't add any other embellishments. I love the way this card came out and I have someone very special in mind to give it to :-)

*****

For my next card, I used this cute little "Trike Bunny" from Kitty Bee Designs.

Crafty Ingredients:

Card stocks - Bazzill

Backing die - Anja's Circle - Marianne Designs

Acorns die - Spellbinders

Pumpkin dies - Cottage Cutz

Greeting stamp - Mixed Messages - Cardz TV

Sentiment stamp - Very old - no info, sorry.

Memento Inks for shading and stamping.
