A Fall Birthday

Well ladies, sorry I have been gone for a little while.  Trying to get work related stuff taking care of and sorted.  I feel like its been forever since I posted anything and this is not like me.  I did have a fun day this past Saturday with a group of my friends.  We spent all day at this ladies beatuiful house.  I'm talking retreat kind of house.  I got many great items completed.  Keep an eye out for them.  I will be posted them between today and tomorrow.

Paper Players Color Challenge #63

Ok, sorry for not posting lately.  I feel so far behind in my creating.  I have started working a full time job and by the time I get home, I am just so mentally drained, I just do what I have to do with family before crashing to bed.  Lucky for me, this is my last full week at this job and I am going back to my in home childcare!!!!!  Boy I miss my kids so much!!  Any whoooo!!

This card is for http://www.thepaperplayers.blogspot.com/.  Head on over and check out this weeks color sketch.  The colors are:  Rich Razzleberry, basic greay, old olive and whisper white.  Great colors for a halloween creation.  And Halloween is my favorite holiday next to Christmas of course. 

I used my owl punch and created this cute little mummy owl and used the spiderweb embossing folder to create the background.
