Doodle Pantry Challenge 17-Don't Miss it!

Happy Tuesday,

I have been enjoying a gorgeous Fall day here in the mountains of Virginia....the temps are perfect with warm sunshine. I have been finishing up my inside and outside decorating for Fall as well as working some on my Mums...they needed a little deadheading . They have certainly outdone themselves this year. I have about 3 areas now in my yard with these beautiful flowers and I love them. They start blooming in early August and go until frost time.

I took this picture the other evening when the temps started dropping as I was afraid it might frost, but no they are still looking good!! At the time I bought these, I thought that they were all the same, shows what the tags knew....but I love the mixed colors.

Now to my card and my post...just wanted to let you know that our challenge at the Doodle Pantry blog will begin tomorrow. DPDC17 will run from the 5th of October until the 24th and our only requirement is for you to use a Doodle Pantry image. If your don't already own one, be sure and check out the new release sets that came out on Oct 1st and the specials that Laurie is running. You will get the new set Quirky Penguin for entering our challenge this month and if you make a purchase, our freebie with purchase is the Quirky Turkey which I can't wait to make something with. And if you would like to try before you buy, be sure and check out the freebie section. Laurie is so generous.

I used Gina K Designs fresh asparagus card stock which I dry embossed with the Autumn cuttlebug folder.  I know he is suppose to be a Quirky Owl but I did keep his colors a little traditional. I added leaves and branches from Spellbinders Bugs die set.

 I am entering this into the challenge at Cupcake Inspirations where they had this gorgeous cupcake as inspiration this week.

Doodle Pantry is also sponsoring this challenge, so be sure and check it out.

I also found Crafty Cardmakers where this time "anything goes" and I am going to enter my card there as well.

So be sure and check out our challenge for October and the newly released sets from Doodle Pantry. We would love to have you play along. Now off to fix dinner in a bit, hope to stop by your blog for a visit soon. Thanks for visiting mine.
