I'm struggling along trying to get back in the swing of things. Since I've been kind of lacking in mojo, I saw a suggestion to join in a challenge or a sketch, etc. So, I went back and used SC349 that Roxie created. I haven't done many challenges as of late.
I needed a birthday for my brother and his b-day just happens to be the first day of Autumn, so what better way to send him wishes.
I used the striped ef on the main early espresso panel and paired the colors with More Mustard, Cajun Craze and Autumn Spice DSP. I stamped and embossed the 2 leaves (cut them out), sentiment and acorn at the top. I love that little acorn for some reason. I used the MS Vine Trim border at the top of the main panel. Embossed the panel with the leaves and sentiment.
I popped up the main panel with dimensionals as well as the leaves, acorn and sentiment.
That's about it. I hope my brother likes it. My photography has been lacking lately as my cards have been looking washed out - guess it lost its mojo too!!!

Hugz Pamzi. This is wonderful. No signs whatsoever of any missing mojo with this beauty! Love the fall colours - great layout, lots of punching (that must have felt good!) Love it my flakey friend. RYPH - TSTTM!

Your photography is still up to par girl - and evidently your card making is too because this is wonderful! Love the colors, the layout, and the leaves. Super card my friend and sister. I can see your MOJO is back - hope you can too! Hugz!!! I think challenges and sketches are good - they help me immensely - but I think you need to do a funny card - you do funny so well. You need to insult Anne Ryan, we could fight over a Wattle card, or you can do a card for your fake blog about how old Benzi is or how crazy I am! I am going to go see if Wattle has anything we can fight over right now...

Well, I would also say your Mojo is back. This is a gorgeous Autumn birthday card. I love all the "popped up" layers and the ef on the card base.Great job with this sketch.
