Thank You Beary Much!

Hello, and welcome!

Oh boy....that's a very cheesey title, but couldn't think of a better one...ha!

I know it's only Monday, but I'm wishing for this week to be over and done with.........not wishing my life away, just have a hospital appointment, Thursday, that I'm dreading.
I really should not be dreading it, because it's a mammogram, and it was actually through having a routine mammogram that my two tiny cancers were found, 4 years ago..........very early detection that meant they could be treated and done with, and the hospital is taking really good care of me by giving me these yearly examinations.....but I still dread 'em!

Okay....enough of me and my well-upholstered aahhems........
Today's card was lovely to make.......very quick...very simple.......just the way I like 'em.........

Still on my mission to use up as many of my scraps as I can manage, so all the paper and card were pulled out of my mountain....every time I think it looks as if it's gettin' smaller, I blink, and it's grown another 6 inches higher....what's that about?......I used a Fiskar's heart border punch on the browny/orangey card, and cut a label background with a scalloped circle Nestie......easy-peasy.......

First time I've used this cute Meljen's freebie....isn't he cute?  I love autumnal colours, so decided to colour up those pretty flowers using earth tones (Promarkers).......no glitter, for a change.......(that won't last...ha!)

I cut these paper flowers from a free sheet that came with a magazine, and inked around the edges....a little decoupage.....and done!
Quick, simple....and mostly free....ha!

So, that's an Autumny card done......is it time for another Christmas card yet?......pretty please?
