Halloween or Fall Cards 4 Kids Card Recipe

I was behind as always.  I actually turned in last month's card early and I just knew I would forget about the month of September.  It was a self fulfilling prophecy.  I pulled out an old faithful from My Favorite Things and decided I was going to color only some elements of the images I stamped.  And of course I had to add some splatter.  I found some fall plaid card stock from Lawn Fawn and used it to mat my card front.  These mice are so cute and I just love fall weather.  Starbucks and Dunkin have Pumpkin Spice flavored coffee - yum!  And it is getting dark earlier.  I am looking forward to wearing blue jeans and sweatshirt and socks.  LOL. So here you go - September's card.

Funny Card Recipe

I knew when I saw this image that I had the perfect sentiment for it.  Are You Kitten Me? Is from my old Fun Stampers Journey days.  I thought that sentiment was hilarious and I still do.  I printed off the image and stamped my sentiment.  I inked around the edges of the card front for interest.  I found some card stock with kitty images on it and that yard print just yelled - pick me!  pick me!  It is such a cute image that it can stand alone without any extras.
