Outside my comfort zone

This card took a while, as it is not my usual quick and easy style but I enjoyed making it.
I am entering it in the http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/cutting_cafe_blog/2011/09/case-it-tuesdays-with-the-cafe-1.html challenge. I have admired Regina's work for years and she inspired me to get a Pazzles.

The pumpkin, oak leaf and acorns are all drawn by me and cut with Pazzles from various pieces of left over card. The double bow ribbon is from a left over as well and the sentiment is computer generated. A big thank you to Jak from http://www.jakheath.com/ for the tutorial on the double bow.

Well done card from snippets

At last some time to work on the blog, it's been a busy summer with lots of new card customers.

This card is made from snippets so I'll take part in  http://jules-alwayswithaheart.blogspot.com/  challenge.
Base card from http://www.craftcreations.com/
The background paper is from Dessert Blooms  paperstack, I printed the text on it myself in brown. The mortar board is cut from black and blue card, the name is brown card. the sentiment is computer generated and the square metal buttons are from my box.
