When you think of October what comes to mind? I was born and raised in Western Pennsylvania where the changing of the oak and maple trees is draw dropping magnificient so naturally, I think of colorful trees and leaves. Now I live in a little town, Dairyville, in Northern California. The area around me is famous for it's walnuts and olives with an abundance almonds and pecans too. All the nuts are harvested in October so there are usually many festivals held in October where nuts and pumpkins abound. This year they have all been cancelled but the farmers did still raise the pumpkins for those who love pumpkin carving and you can still purchase the fabulous nuts from the local growers. If you don't have a particular fall image Dar has provided a fabulous mood board for you over at Double D Challenge Blog
I took my inspiration from the barnwood backing , the crates, the ladder, the pumpkins the black color from the cat and the books.
Fabulously created card Kathy with all the pretty details you grabbed from the mood board, creatively beautiful! I miss all our Michigan Fall festivals here though a few still went on I didn't go. Hope you and your hubby are doing well!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely and yummy description of your area! Sounds so beautiful! Great card, love the rustic vibe. Pretty pumpkins and I love the wood grained background!
ReplyDeleteFabulous card, Kathy! I love the pop of black with all of the warm colors. And yes, there is nothing that compares to fall in western PA. Living in SE PA has it's advantages, but we sure don't have the beautiful fall colors I remember growing up.
ReplyDeleteKathy, your festive fall-filled crate is fabulous! I live on the east coast and yes, our colors are brilliant as well. All our fairs that take place in the fall were cancelled too. Lets hope for a better 2021. I'm glad we still have our paper crafting to celebrate this special season with. Sending hugs!
ReplyDeleteLove this so vibrant and gorgeous. xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute card, love the fall foliage with the leaves and pumpkins. Like how you related your card design to the mood board!
ReplyDeleteThat is one wonderful card design. I love it.
ReplyDeleteOh my friend this is AWESOME! Screams October for sure! Being born/raised in Western Pennsylvania myself (of course didn't get too far away, just across the state line) I too have ALWAYS enjoyed the change in seasons and Fall being my favorite!! Your creations is just gorgeous. I love all the elements you pulled out of the mood board! SO SO pretty! Hugs to you my friend ... pray & think of you often!
ReplyDeleteWow, oh wow, this is amazingly gorgeous, Kathy! I love the crate, the lattice, all the colorful foliage elements. You are so GOOD with your dies!
ReplyDeleteYou have done it again. I do love the fall colors, but often forget the green too. It really brings out the other colors. I know what you mean about fall in the central states, but what you describe where you live now, sounds amazing. We are here in Florida, and getting settled. I did a zoom P.E.O. meeting last Thursday. Hugs
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful October card. I love your design, the pumpkins are fabulous, and that wood background is the perfect back drop. Loved reading about where you live now, quite a change from where you grew up. Hugs and love, XOXO
