You Leaf Me Breathless

Good morning my bloggy friends!  How was your weekend?  Hoping you had a fabulous one!  We had a birthday party to go to on Saturday for my brother's step-daughter who just turned 4 *love that age!* and it was a beautiful day yesterday here in Jersey - perfect for hauling the kiddies to the park.  :)) There was also a wee bit of time to get a quick card in ....one that fits the bill for the October Monthly Challenge over at Whimsie Doodles!

The challenge this month is called It's Fall Ya'll and your creation has to depict some sort of fall activity!  Easy peasy especially when Whimsie is generous enough to off this cutie in their freebie section of their store, which you can find here.

As you know, I'm sort of a sketch junkie and used the current October sketch over at SFYTT which was a lot of fun to play along with:

And here is my take:

As soon as I saw this cute little face and chuckled at the adorable matching sentiment, I thought of my hubby and had to make him a cute little card just because.  The papers were leftovers that I've had for years from K&Company - one of my fall favorites and decided to paper piece his little baggie with it, too.  I colored him up in Copics and used a Sharpie poster paint pen to highlight his little cheeks.  The leaves were cut on my Cricut Expression and embossed with my Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder.  All the papers, image and leaves were distressed with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

Hopefully this gives my main man a little smile :)
