Speedy the Cat's Friends Challenge #20

WOW! My internet went down.... can I just say I hope THAT never happens again!  I am seriously addicted to my internet.... withdrawal is NOT fun~ LOL.  Speedy's challenge is up and running now also. Faith picked the winners from last week (and posted)  Congrats to ALL winners from the 4 days of hopping and the 2 additional winners from SCF challenge!  6 WINNERS last week!  WOW!  A huge thanks to Faith for the MFP sponsorship!
This week is Fall colors.  Though I am still into summer (it went to fast for me) I forced myself to make a fall card.  On the other hand, it was easier since I used the new MFP set Autumn Fun.  This basket of leaves does remind me of being a child and jumping in the pile of leaves my dad would rake up!  Notice I said my dad - if I raked them I certainly wasn't about to jump in them and have to rake a second time!  lol.  I colored the leaves with copics - I really do like the blending effect of copics.  We sure hope you join us over at Speedy the Cat's Friends Blog Challenge!  Remember, you might possibly win a complete Mark's Finest Paper's stamp set!



Here is a quickie card I made for the One Layer Wednesday Challenge over at Susan's blog.  It was suppose to be a "touch of color" - I might have over done the "touch", but I love this card!  I love the simplicity, along with the touch of elegance (rather than a touch of color - lol).  Hopefully, Susan will be okay with this card. Actually, I don't think it really matters since there is no "prize" - we just play for fun - and I have a blast with this CAS OLC (clean and simple, one layer card) challenge!

Really beautiful colors for fall~ so warm and rich. I've been out raking the yard ALL day and have had my fill of leaves for a little while. It feels good to get a headstart on it though although I would have much rather been stamping.

GORGEOUS cards! I chuckled when I saw the basket of leaves and your sentiment. Reminds me of all the raked leaves we jumped in when we were growing up!
