Hello everyone! Thanks for all of your wonderful comments on my Artful Frame yesterday. I am happy you liked the project as much as I did. :-)
Today is my Punkin's 10th birthday. I love that she has an October birthday. Fall is my favorite time of year, and our wedding anniversary passed just days ago. We have a whole slew of birthdays this month too, in our extended families.
This card is entered at City Crafter, where the challenge is Harvest Festival - fruits or vegetables.
Kerry opened her gifts before going off to school today, and she loved her card. We have a magnet of this pumpkin image on the fridge, so she thought I might've photocopied it from there. I actually downloaded the image from The Ephemera Society, through Pinterest.
The patterned paper is from DCWV Four Seasons stack, which I picked up for $5.99 at TJ Maxx recently. The black cardstock is mounted on a white card base.
I seem to use white card bases ALL the time, and I do love Papertrey Ink's version - bright white, thick and sturdy. When I was new to paper crafting, all I had was Stampin' Up!'s white cardstock. Now I think it's rather flimsy, compared to other brands. However, it comes in handy for a couple of things: border punching (it's tough using PTI cardstock for that; I've broken punches) and sending it through my home printer. I used the SU stuff to print this pumpkin.
Tomorrow is The Play Date Cafe's 2nd Anniversary! Whoo hoo! We've got awesome prizes from The Twinery, Layers of Color and Sweet Stamp Shop. Be sure to stop by and see what we've cooked up for you. :-)
Well, thanks so much for joining me today!

Wonderful creation Colleen, thanks for playing along with us at CCCB!
What a beautiful image and the background paper is very nice. All together a great card. Happy Birthday to your Punkin.
Glad your punkin liked the card...it is so adorable. I see that paper from T.J. Maxx. They have such bargains there.
Beautiful birthday card Colleen!! Love the papers - so pretty!
You always luck out at TJ Maxx. Every since you posted about this before, I have been on the lookout, and NOTHING! I looked from front to back and side by side! :-(!
Love this and I am so happy your daughter appreciated it! It's fabulously cool!
Personally, I still like the weight of SU best. It's just right. They just drive me batty with all their color changes and retiring colors.
Oh, Happy Birthday to your sweet lil punkin pie! Wow, double digits! Where is the time going? I keep trying to press down on Troy's head, but, alas...he keeps getting taller...
Love your darling card, the vintage image is superbly charming and the colors are so festive and Fall-like! Adorable!
Wish Kerry a happy birthday for us and I hope she eats lots of cake and gets lots of pressies!
Love your card for your daughter's birthday. I've used this image also... it's like "classic Autumn"... perfect!
Someone else had written they bought a paper pack at T J Maxx... I've never seen any at our store. What dept. is it in?
Happy Birthday, Kerry!
Happy birthday to your sweet little pumpkin, Kerry! I hope that she had a fabulous day and celebrated BIG!! Psalm 118:24
