HI Paper Lovers... Even though it is still hot hot hot here...I just had to make a Fall card! I am so over this heat and just want to wear a sweater already!!! I have to tell ya...this card from start to finish took me over 2 hours to complete...grrrr!!! I was just having one of those "nothing seem to be working" crafty days!!! But I am happy with the way it turned out so I guess it was all worth it =)

The sentiment is from one of the older Scrappy Moms sets called The Charmed Life....it goes along great with the Simply Charmed cartridge which is where my scarecrow came from! I used a Peachy Keen face stamp and some Martha Stewart punches!
