Large Leaf.....

Hello and Happy Tuesday Everyone! I didn't get to make one single card yesterday... I had a feeling this week was going to be busy for me! LOL      I had woke up early and thought great I'll get to work then one thing happened then another and then I went to the Post office came back and took my mom her mail.... And that's all she wrote! :o)  Her Computer was acting up.... and not in a good way! Sooooo I took it from her and spent the entire afternoon and evening trying to get it all fixed up for her! It is now fixed and in working condition so she's happy about that! Sooo today I'm hoping and crossing my fingers that I get at least one card done..... I have plans on making Zucchini bread.... My wonderful neighbor stopped by last week and asked my son if I would like a zucchini, so he checked with me and I said sure...... Well my wonderful neighbor came back with a zucchini alright..... it was HUGE!!!!     I don't think I've ever seen a zucchini that big..... Soooo I thought..... What the heck am I gonna do with that??? BREAD!!! Yeah... that's it! Soooo my plans today include making zucchini bread..... If it doesn't get done today then for sure tomorrow, because we are going out of town this week, sooo I wanted to get some made and take it with me to my Hubby's family reunion.... I figure his family would appreciate it... Or at least I hope so! LOL Anyway .... let's get to today's card... Noooo Cricut yet again.... But my trusty Cuttlebug was certainly used for it! :o)

Ok.... Today's card is a quick and simple Fall one.....
I used KI Memories for the Designer Paper......
Stampin' Up for the Card Stock, Ink, Stamp, Punches
Core'dinations Cardstock for the Leaf
Cuttlebug Die and Embossing folder for the Leaf
Tim Holtz Sander to distress the Leaf

Markers, Stamps, are Stampin' Up
Designer Paper is Chatterbox
Scallop Circle and Regular Circles
are from my Nestabilities
Stamp Sets are - Harvest Home (Pumpkin Patch) - Thankful For (Same as the Name) :o)

Here is a side view... I did use Dimensionals to pop up the Scallop Circle.... I Inked Everything to give it some shadowing.... I colored the whole thing with Stampin' up (Write) Markers..... They are my Favorites next to my Zig Pens.... I've never used a copic marker and probably never will.... I don't think I could never afford those....
I think this came out just lovely
and I hope you think so to!
