October is a VERY busy month for me with birthdays. I have 3 friends, my mother, my soon to be daughter-in-law, my oldest granddaughter and my own ~ WHEW! So it only seemed fitting to make a birthday card :)

 

Plus, it's fall and my favorite time of year, so I decided to use some fall colors.

I used FTHS "Anneke" and you can use her with and without a smile, so you can choose the image that suits your card making style best. I love her cute smile so I decided on that one.

For this challenge, I also used Faith's new September Stamp of the Month "Bobbing for Apples". If you played along in the challenge last month, you were emailed this image for FREE! If you missed out, you can still play along with the challenge by purchasing the image.

 

Fall for me is the best time of the year. Cooler temps and the brilliant colors - I just love fall!! Some time ago I bought the Nested Apples die at a local scrapbooking store for an amazing deal! I thought it went great with this image.

Here is my take on the sketch.

 

I also used the True Love digi stamp that Faith created in celebration of her 15th wedding anniversary. As you can tell - I LOVE purple :) I really like how this turned out. One of the gals I work with has a family wedding to go to and asked if I could make her a card. This sketch and digi just went so well together and made it seem almost effortless to create! She LOVED it and told me numerous time how beautiful it was and it made me feel great!

So......time is running out! Let's see what you can create w/this sketch.
