cornfields & scarecrows

It just wouldn't be fall if I didn't break out 2 of my very favorite fall themed stamps...

I just love this cute little scarecrow and he's so perfect when he's paired with his own little field of yummy corn. I stamped my corn 3 times to make a simple and fun border. I had a hard time not adding ribbon or a big fluffy bow, but I didn't want to take anything away from the darling stamps. Looking at it now, I think should have wrapped a little twine there the white and Golden Tangerine cardstocks meet.

Thanks for stopping by!

Let's do the Blog Hop Again.....

Its just a click to the left.....and then a scroll to the riiiight. You take a look at the cards.....and then squeal with deliiight. You hop right alooong, until you get to the eeeeennnnd. Let's do the blog hop again.....Let's do the blog hop again! (Yes, I admit to being in the Halloween spirit and watching a little Rocky Horror Picture Show - just be glad you can't hear me sing - HA!)

So if you made it through that little intro then that means you are here from Jennifer's Blog. She has some of the cutest cards doncha think?

Ok enough fodder - get to the cards already you say? Well then, here you go (insert drumroll sound here - use your imagination....come on you can do it.....)







Once I found my mojo (he's been hiding lately), I took Tina's advice and handcuffed that little sucker to my desk in the Woman Cave....and came up with this....







Isn't that cute? Its a little Post It note holder. This could be recreated for any season. Fun right?

Now, don't forget.....leave some blog love for your chance to win a fantabulous (yes, its a word) prize from Denami! If you get lost along the way, you can always go back to the Denami Blog and start from the beginning or you can hop right over to Lisa's Blog for some more fabulousness! Let's do the blog hop again.....Let's do the blog hop again.....

Farmer John

No, this post doesn't include goats or that fab Beekman Boys duo, but it does include an ADORABLE little farmer scarecrow!

And for the inside....

I didn't notice until I uploaded the picture to blogger that you can actually see thru the top panel of the card from the inside. That's because I didn't use DeNami card stock...I know, I know, I should be beat with a wet noodle. The thickness and colors of their card stocks are awesome! But in my defence, this started out as just a tester layout. It wasn't meant to be a finished card so I used just regular old card stock from a big box store...however, the layout was working so well for me that I just went with it. When I remake this (using good card stock) I think it would look better if I stamped the turkey, masked him off then stamped the corn over him so it looks like he's standing in front of the corn stalks.

Well, now that I'm done picking this card apart, it's your turn....

Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think....good or bad....or even better - what would you have done differently??...crafty minds wanna know!
