Fall Kick Off


It's the 15th, so it's time for a Duel - Dueling Darling style.

The hostesses - LJ (Divas) and Terry (Dazzlers) came up with a great theme...

Fall Kick Off

I'm not sure (yet!) what LJ sent for  her kit, but Terry sent the Dazzlers a cute House Mouse image (Smarty Pants), awesome school-themed designer papers (Recollections Back to School), and lots of fun embellishments (Target Baker's Twine, Craftworks Candi Dots, and Michael's Ribbon). THANK YOU Terry!

And THANK YOU, LJ and TERRY for being TERRIFIC hostesses this month!


Here's the card I made:









This is the inside:




We are also supposed to share a favorite fall memory. For me, I think it would have to be our family tradition of going to a U-Pick Apple Orchard and riding the tractor/wagon to the trees and picking apples and munching an apple on our ride back to the barn. This is a tradition that my husband and I started when our children were quite young. We look forward to it every fall.

I'm so glad you stopped  by my blog today! 





Now let's go see what the other Dueling Darlings created...

    Wow Jeanette......our cards are very similar! You have more layers, but they are so much alike!! I love it!

    I couldn't figure out a way to use the twine, but now I know what to do and I can add it ☺

    Great card!!

    Beautiful card, Jeanette! What a terrific layout showcasing that darling House Mouse image which you colored so beautifully!! The twine and the dots are the perfect embellishments! And I love how you used the tablet-like paper on the interior...very clever!

    Picking apples...What a wonderful memory and so terrific that you continue to do this every fall!

    You know, I never used to like the House Mouse stamps and now, I think they are just the cutest images ever... doesn't mean I like mice though, just the stamps! This is such a cute card and you always have the nicest background papers.
