Reindeer Fun for Autumn

Oh, Gosh! This little critter is so "dear" 

I worked with him on Friday's Live@8pm MT He had me stumped for a minute or so, wasn't sure how to layer him up...but then, he came together so well!! Yes! he is so sweet. Look at those wonderful eyes!

I showcased the Bundle (available now to order and I'd love to help you get it on it's way to you!) I shared all the extra dies to create a sweet Christmas scene, with lights, wreath and bells. BUT somewhere along the way this little fella got mixed up with all the Changing Leaves on my desk and next thing I knew I'd had a glimmer of an idea to try turning that aperture with boughs from pine to Tamarack in the Fall!!

Viola! My Fall Fawn! Crushed Curry for the 'greenery' on a Cajun Craze base, add in a couple alternate leaves and pull in the More than Autumn sentiments for a fun, glued together card! 

I Love it! Hope you enjoy it, too.

Want to see the process of  how I got to the finished card? I go Live@8, 3 nights a week, plus Thursday mornings @10am MT. Click here to view Friday's Live and more on this Bundle.

Celebrating Jack Kerouac's Birthday Stampin' Up! style

 An out of the box creation tonight on my Live@8pm MT

 Using Punch Art to create these Friends' car!

In a series of celebrating authors birthday by learning a bit about them and checking out their stories, we've come up with some unique card ideas. Creating a little bit of art from the inspiration we find from titles, imagery, setting, characters etc! 

 Born on March 12, 1922, in Lowell, Massachusetts, Jack Kerouac was a novelist and a poet whose work pioneered, captured, and inspired the Beat generation movement of the 1950s. Although he began writing in the 1940s, he is most well known for his novel On the Road which was published in 1957, a story of travelling across country with his friend.  Today the book is regarded as an American classic and still has an impact. He also changed the way Americans saw themselves, and their country. He loved his country. Before its time he was known for the promotion of civil rights for society.

Jack Kerouac and his literary works had a major impact on the popular rock music of the 1960s, many greats give credit to his inspiration.

You can see the quick version of making the card in this Reel 

watch for upcoming Inspiration Challenges with more Author's Birthday!

Follow this blog and head over to my Facebook page to follow and Like to receive notifications and catch one of my Lives@8 pm MT, live! You can enjoy the interaction with others in the comment area and watch my creative process of figuring out a vague idea I start with and build a card from! 

hope to see you soon!
