Hello my crafty friends, I hope your Monday is off to a wonderful start! It was a beautiful weekend here in Central PA. I can't believe we are in autumn now and boy because of our cool weather we have had all summer, our trees are really turning early. By our usual peak we probably won't have any leaves. Not sure what old man winter will bring, but I'm already dreaming of next spring. lol
Ok you know if it is Monday then it is time for a new BBTB2 challenge. But first we must say good-bye to our sweet design team sister, Jaren. Jaren had a baby about a month or two ago and has other children to care for, so she must be a mommy and give up her designer hat for now. She also is an amazing cook and has a great food blog. Check it out, there are amazing recipes there. Ok, now onto the challenge at hand.
Our talented and sweet Michelle gave us the challenge of using a squirrel or a nut on a project. Well I wavered back and forth and finally decided to go with just an acorn. My card is a pinterest inspired by a couple of cards. I used Art Philosophy for my banners, circles and the acorn. I used a tiny punch to punch out my cute teeny tiny leaves. I inked up everything but my card base with distress ink, Walnut Stain. A little twine bow on my acorn and some sequins and I called it done. My banner papers and acorn papers were snippets so I will have to go check to see if I can play at the playground this week.
I hope you will go check out what awesome inspiration my design team sisters have for you and then come on and get crafty with us and make a project using a squirrel, nut or both and link up with us! As always thanks so much for stopping by and sitting a spell with me today. Now I'm off to bake pies and mow the grass. My kitchen and mowing duties are never done. lol Crafty hugs, Brenda
Jumping over the pond to play in the Snippets Playground this week where you get to play just by using your snippets!

Oh my gosh, this is so sweet, Brenda!! That face is adorable!! I love the design of this - the banners and sequins are awesome!! What a fabulous fall card!! There are a few trees around here that are already full color this early. Some don't look like the leaves are going to be very pretty...just brown before they fall off. I'm dreaming of next spring already, too!! Have a great day :)

Pretty cards. I love the smiling acorns!
Brenda, I love this card. I'm really into banners at this time. Love the way you used yours. Great way to highlight your cute acorn. A really feel good card.
Super cute card Brenda, we've had lost of these fall this year and the chestnuts the yard has been very busy with squirrels. Yep starting to see the changes in the mountains not all green anymore a bit of yellow mixed in with the trees. It was a beautiful weekend though. You have a great week :)
Great banner background for this happy little acorn!
That acorn is super cute. And I really like the layout of this card. As I was looking at this card, I though, gee I really like that leaf pattern paper and then I realized that it is a paper I have and haven't used because I didn't really care for it. But seeing it on your card, I'm now thinking I might need to go use it.
Awww Brenda, this is such a cute acorn/fall card. The acorn has such a cute happy face. The papers are so pretty and I love the card design. I feel the same about mowing grass, too.
I love this Brenda!! that image is so cute and love your banners. I love all the colours of Autumn but not really looking forward to the cold of Winter LOL much prefer watching that from inside but Ollie loves the snow:) lots of huggles and thanks for all your comments on my blog ..Sue xx

That's got to be the cutest acorn I've ever seen! I adore his smiling face and as soon as I saw it I had to smile too! I love the papers, leaves and cute little twine bow! In this nice weather our grass is still growing too! I'll bake the pies, but I don't do lawns! LOL
Oh my goodness, the acorn's face is so cute! I love the papers you've used for the banners. Fabulous job! Don't work too hard my friend!
