CAS-UAL FRIDAYS SSS Blog Hop



It’s real!
This is a picture of one of my pumpkins from past year.
 I love this color and buy them every year.  Then use them for Christmas. I stack them to make a cold looking snowman that sits on my front porch bench 


I think I should have left the scroll off, one end of this birthday card. It is clashing a bit with the pumpkin vine. The one below seems to flow better without the scroll next to the vine.


Hi, and happy Friday! I am having a bit of trouble with light today.  Fall colors? Yes to me because this is the color
 of pumpkin I buy each year. I buy the orange for carving
 and roasting the seeds. 

Hope you have a blessed weekend!

  11. Quite an extraordinary colour for a pumpkin! Never seen those in the Netherlands....But they sure are gorgeous!!!
    Your cards are fabulous and the scrolls fit the pumpkins so well, their vines are just like the scrolls.
    And such a great way to make a snowman at your porch, maybe this year a pic of Mr.Snowman himself???

  12. Both cards are quite lovely, Marybeth. As is your pumpkin display. I like the 'viney' sentiment of the first card; it echos the pumpkin vines. Beautiful green pumpkins. Really like these cards. Bev

  16. Two wonderful cards Marybeth! I LOVE the green pumpkins - both on your cards and the real one - I always try to get different colored pumpkins and often bumpy ones to put on my steps - something different than the standard ORANGE.... I'll have to look for this grey/green color!

  17. These are both just gorgeous. I have never seen a pumpkin that color before. It is so elegant looking. The font on your sentiments is just perfect for these cards.

  25. Those are both gorgeous cards! And that wonderful color was what first caught my attention. So pretty, and as Maria said, elegant.

    I really loved the first card, but then, when comparing it to the second, I decided you're right about the scroll. The fonts are so beautiful.

    Since I've started working on learning to think CAS after becoming comfortable with layering papers, I'm definitely saving this as an inspiration card! Thanks for sharing!!
