I really do love my hemp twine!! So I had to make another project for this week's Ways to Use It challenge, WT287 to use twine.
This time I made a color-and-pattern-saturated card for the last day of the September Release Blog Hop for Mark's Finest Papers. Today we are featuring a gorgeous fall clear photopolymer stamp set called Thankful Mums and Pumpkins.
Oh, and I finally did it!! After seeing my Punchkateer Pals Pamzi and Nutzi make gorgeous creations with Priscilla's sketches week after week and being inspired by their work, I finally entered my first Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge with MMSC70!

Wowzi Emzi - you've gone totally Mad with the punchin' - and look at what a wonderful result you've come up with as a result! Wonderful fall card - great fun with all those purdy little leaves. We were in New England last year when the leaves were changing (eventually wound up staying a few days with our niece near Boston) and we were so taken with the gorgeous fall colours - here we only get different shades of yellow so it was a delight to behold all the variety of colours. Great job on those challenges! RYPH!
