Darlene sent the Dazzlers a most awesome kit - filled with way too much stuff to use in one card. Papers, papers, and more papers (I'm hoarding several pieces... LOL!) and embellishments galore, too. Thank you, Darlene!
Here's my card:
You may not be able to tell from the picture, but one of the things Darlene included in her kit was little wooden ovals and such. I was determined to find a way to use one on my card, since Darlene wrote, "I wonder if you'll come up with a way to use them on your card?" I did! See the be grateful oval on my card front? I glued/adhered a piece of designer paper to the oval and then after the glue had dried, I used a nail file to trim off the excess, for an easy embellishment.
Here is a (very poor) picture of the total inside of my card:
Here's the focal part of the inside of my card:
The hostesses this month also asked us to share a favorite fall/autum recipe on our blog posts. I love making soup and thought I'd share a soup recipe, but then realized that most of my soups I don't really use a recipe, I just dump lots of things in the pot, so decided not to post a soup recipe. Instead I will post a recipe that is full of yummy apples (a favorite fall fruit that our family picks off the trees annually).
Snickering Apple Salad
Apples, peeled and chopped
Snickers Candy Bars, chopped
8 oz. Cool Whip, thawed
1 box French Vanilla Instant Pudding
Mix the Cool Whip and pudding in a bowl; add the apples and Snickers. Stir well.
Enjoy!
Have I ever mentioned that I'm a lazy cook? I love easy recipes!!!

Jeanette, this card is the bomb! Very creative treatment with the balsa wood, too! The coloring is adorable (as usual) and the inside layout and embellishments are a real treat.

What a great card - it just shouts fall! I love your idea for the oval - I have a few of those floating around that I'm going to have to try it out on!
Ohhh ANother Autumn beauty! I think I love the leaves most of all - like they just blew in on a Fall day and landed vicariously around (like they would on a Fall day, loL!)

This is just gorgeous! I have tons of those little wooden pieces collecting dust in the back of a drawer. Thanks for some inspiration for what to do with them.
