Hi there! How's your week going so far?
Well the months are going by fast, aren't they??? We just rolled into October. You know what that means.......Christmas will be here in no time flat. I have already started my Christmas shopping. (Uh oh, you haven't....... I'm sorry I brought it up.) OK, let's talk cards and challenges.
Hey, did you know, not only does Craft-Dee BowZ host a challenge, but they also post weekly inspiration projects each Tuesday?
Hope you will stop over at Craft-Dee BowZ and check out their Tuesday inspiration posts.

Since it's the 1st Tuesday of the month, it's my turn to share an inspiration project.
The Craft-Dee BowZ challenge has already started and will be running until October 30
. I'm still working on Christmas cards, (for a show in Cincinnati in November.) but I decided to take a break from Christmas and work on a fall birthday card.
Let me share my inspiration piece
and I hope it gives you some ideas to design a card or two with the fall theme in mind.
I love the design of this card.
Very simple and those leaves were perfect for the top area of the card.
I bet you are wondering where my usual big bow is. Yes, I usually add a fluffy bigger bow, however, I thought that type of bow would overtake the leaves and their stems
I am using on this card.
So I opted for a triple loop Bakers Twine bow.
Here is a closer shot of that bow.
whether you are using bakers twine bow or ribbon for your bow.
I am submitting my card in the following challenges:

A Bakers Twine bow is the perfect size for this card.
Of course, the Craft-Dee BowZ tool is the perfect bow making tool, whether you are using bakers twine bow or ribbon for your bow.
