CASOLOGY Week 66: PUMPKIN

Well this week the cue word for CASology is pumpkin.  Didn't I do that last week?  In yesterday's mail I received my weekly stamp from Unity (what a sucker for stamps) and I thought this verbiage was lovely.  Earlier in the week while at lunch with a friend a man approached me and gave me a very sweet compliment.  When I mentioned this to son #1 he suggested I "play it forward."  And that is what I will do with this card.  I will send it to my granddaughter (16) who has been so helpful to me with my blog despite the fact we live 400 miles away from one another.  I feel so blessed and grateful that she is my granddaughter - she is a lovely young woman.

Onward.  The image was inked and heat embossed and then I colored with copics.  Dang have I said that before?  I die cut with the cute Lil Inkers rectangle and then matted with a piece of green paper.  I embossed with Swiss Dots and then mounted the cute bear with pumpkin image using mounting tape.

Honestly I was not going to make a card this week.  Right now I should be packing for a train trip to the Grand Canyon but decided I wanted to make a card for Ashley.  Hope I see some fall foliage because I have not seen any yet.  And I just got a phone asking if we could babysit the grandsons (ages 4 and 7) for son #2 who lives closeby.  Sure.  What more could one ask for in life grandkids and cardmaking.
