Ahhh September.....FMS502

 




We celebrated the beginning of September with  Emma's birthday party - one last fling before school gets real and the weather gets cold.  She had a cheetah themed party this year and her amazing mother pulled it all off with wonderful cheetah print accessories and balloons.  So I may have been inspired by all of the cheetah colors when I chose the background DSP for my card!











Rain forced a very last minute switch from a backyard party to a local venue that was big enough for the wild animal bounce house!  It was a scramble but it all worked out.  Thank Heaven because that Willy Bear just adored the bounce house!







The leaves are turning here - just starting to color! The leaves from the Time of Giving set made the perfect trail down my card.







I love Cecile's sweet sketch this week!  Join us at Freshly Made Sketches!

When it comes to birthdays, I'm a bit of a cheetah myself, Linda! ;p
May I tell you again how much I love these card bases with your fabulous dsp covers? Some of us [like me] should follow your lead! OH LOOK another home for that pile of leaves I've colored recently!
Just saying hello GORGEOUS!

Oooooh, what a fantastic autumn card! I think it is that woodgrain paper that makes the card so cozy!

What a great theme for a birthday party! Sounds like everyone had fun. And your falling leaves look fabulous against the woodgrain. Wonderful card!
