Hey, There and Some Purple Pumpkins

Hello,

I have two cards made using this week's sketch from the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge.  It's a classic sketch this week that warranted more than one card.

In addition to the sketch, my first card uses Joanne's theme of Changing Seasons for the Paper Players Challenge. 





This cute little squirrel gathering up acorns for his winter stash is a good representation of the changing season. My latest SU order arrived this morning and it just happened to include this stamp set, perfect timing for an afternoon crafting session. I pulled out some fall themed DSP to go along with.

Here's the inside. I didn't add a greeting, just the image of the squirrel's buddy. More room for a personal message.



The second card uses the same FMS sketch with the current color theme from Color Hues Challenge. The colors for this challenge are Orange and Purple.






The stamp set is an older SU set called Gourd Goodness. The leaves are stamped in orange shades on a basic white panel. I used Gina K.'s woodgrain technique on the panel to make a background for the purple pumpkins. 

Here's the inside of this card.




TGIF tomorrow! Have a great Friday, and thanks for looking in,
Colleen
