I'm just so happy that I have time to craft again! There is sooooo much inspiration out there...that I almost feel overwhelmed deciding which one to do first!!!

Since I still had the fabulous "Twig Wreath Set" from PTI on my desk...I decided to craft a similar card I've made for the CQC yesterday...you can check it out HERE!

 

My inspiration for this card today came from the beautiful CURTAIN CALL Inspiration Challenge - Plush & Plaid....just love those beautiful Fall colors!
