Halloween Party invitations by special request

 I colored all the pumpkins using Copic markers.  The stamp I used is from Gina K Designs.  I stamped them on plain kraft paper.  Then I distressed them with ink and crumpled up the paper and curled up the corners.  I printed the words with the "Black Adder" font and tore around them and distressed the edges.  The black background was cut to size then run through the cuttlebug using an embossing folder.  I used the black magic paper and sanded it with an emery board.  Finally I added the little orange dots in the bottom left corner.  I think they turned out nice!

Apples and pumkins and beignets, OH MY!

Ahhh, fall!  I LOVE it!  All the colors of nature really make me stop and reflect on the One who created it all.  The official start to Autumn for me is the Brushy Mountain Apple Festival.  It is held on the first Saturday in October in downtown North Wilkesboro.  It's literally a block from my house.  I HAD to go.  There were stacks and stacks of apple crates with every variety imaginable.  (My fav is Honeycrisp....yum!)  Craft vendors and food vendors lined the streets.  I found a new vendor this year selling New Orleans beignets that were to die for!  I spent the day with my hubby and our dog, Sam perusing the vendor stalls and visiting with old friends and making some new friends.  Yes, I love Autumn and everything it brings!
