Autumn Colours...

Good morning, it's time for a new challenge at Allsorts and our theme this week has been chosen by Catherine and is 'Autumn Colours'. Our wonderful sponsors this week are Digistamp Boutique and Crafty Ribbons. So 2 chances to win :-)

    

 

So onto my DT card, I have used a super cute image and sentiment from the Alvin Squirrel set from Digistamp Boutique. I added Glossy Accents to the acorns on the image and found a few leftover mini pine cones in my flower box (these were acquired at Center Parcs a couple of years ago!). I have used some of my favourite Picot edge ribbon from Crafty Ribbons and a few buttons and blooms. I just love the sentiment :-) I made this card for a good friend, I think she'll like the words as much as I do...

Image & sentiment - from the Alvin Squirrel set coloured with Promarkers & Flexmarkers
Paper - Boho Chic by First Edition
Picot edge ribbon - Crafty Ribbons
Buttons, flowers & pearls - stash

Pink to make the boys wink...

Happy October to you, can't quite believe we've got to October already! I am off work today, poorly sick, I've had enough of it now :-(

I have to admit I have started my Christmas shopping, not gone mad yet but have started to have a think and bought/ordered a few things. I hate leaving presents and then having to buy something last minute. Oh the stress!

Anyway, I made this card for a lovely friend. It is very pink...
