Virginia's View Challenge #6

Hello everyone!

First off I want to thank you all SO very much for the sweet comments on my Getting To Know Me post and the congratulations for being featured on the Lawn Fawn blog yesterday. Oh wow! I can't tell you how that made my day, week and maybe my year! What a surprise and an honor!! If you haven't noticed, I'm very fond of Lawn Fawn :)

Today I am sharing a card I created for Virginia's View challenge



This month the challenge is to make a shaped card. I've never ever made anything but a rectangle card, so this was definitely a challenge to me, but one I was kind of excited to try. I've seen so many cute shape cards created with Cut files, so I thought that's what I would try.

And as you can see, I am getting into the fall mood :)



I found this cute cut file at Miss Kate's Cutables. It isn't a card, it's just the wreath, so I had to figure out how to cut it out to make it into a card. I just copied the wreath and flipped it vertically and welded it together at the top. I hope that makes some sense :) Then I cut out all the hundreds of little pieces with my Cameo and proceeded to put this thing together. Let me tell you, I will not be making these for everyone to send out this fall. haha! This was a time consuming little project here! Each one of those candy corns has 4 pieces to it! It was fun, but I was just kind of relieved when it was done!

Anyway, now with fall thoughts in my head, I am taking the kids to the water park today. It's the last day it's open for the summer and they didn't want to miss that.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a great day!

Kay :)
