I started out with this CAS sketch and it got the best of me. I hope I haven't overdone it too much for the CAS challenge. I really had to stop myself.
This card is for my BIL and I thought I'd use some Fall colors with the in colors that I've been struggling with using thus far.
I used a b/g stamp for the main panel, my trendy trees images using a Stamp a Majig, my picket fence punch, some thread and metal brads.
Thanks so much for taking a quick look and if you have a moment, let me know what you think!

Fruitcake, this is totally awesome. The inside looks as fabulous as the front! Oooh, you sat down and really focused on making cards today, fruitcake. Focus is good. Thanks for your pm earlier: It's not easy is it .. losing someone you really love and someone who was more to you than a sister. thanks for your sentiments.

I see that Anne Ryan calls you fruitcake - is that a special nickname with a special story? Can I use it too?
This card is so cute - I love your color choices (I need to use that Suede stuff more since it is so great) and your image and that fence is awesome. These are so great colors for fall and it has actually been fall-like here this week.
Super job!

Ohh really pretty Fruitcake!!! Your card is not bad for a 1-2 digi IQ like yourself!! Very lovely!! This comment will push your comments number up to a nice even 20 - always good!! I hate those 69 and 1009 comments that I get - it's always nice to roll them over to a nice round number!!

Pam, this is gorgeous! Love the fall colors (I'm really not into the In Colors myself this year -- just got Soft Suede and Bermuda Bay). I love the little picket fence border...it's all around a fab-fabulous card! (I always get a kick out of Anne Ryan!) Thanks for sharing your beautiful creations...you keep getting better and better...but have you lost your marbles? LOL! So many of your photos had marbles in them...oh, but it's fall now. Good! Hope you have a great day, my friend! Hugs!
